Mazda 2: Power Steering
Mazda2 DJ 2014–2023 Owners Manual / When Driving / Power Steering
- Power steering is only operable when
the engine is running. If the engine is
off or if the power steering system is
inoperable, you can still steer, but it
requires more physical effort.
If the steering feels stiffer than usual during normal driving or the steering vibrates, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

of system abnormalities and operation
conditions.
In addition, the buzzer may also activate depending on the system abnormality or operation condition.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-38 .
Refer to Power Steering Warning Buzzer on page 7-49 .
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme left or right for more than 5 seconds with the engine running.
