Features
A pinion-assist type Electric Power Steering (EPS) has been adopted, reducing the fuel consumption.
A steering column with tilt mechanism has been adopted, allowing fine adjustment of the driving posture.
A steering column and shaft with a shock-absorbing mechanism has been adopted to enhance the safety.
EPS system is enabling high-function malfunction diagnosis using the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS).
