Factory-trained Mazda technicians and

genuine Mazda parts are best for your

vehicle. Without this expertise and the

parts that have been designed and

made especially for your Mazda,

inadequate, incomplete, and

insuﬃcient servicing may result in

problems. This could lead to vehicle

damage or an accident and injuries.

NOTE

If you elect to perform maintenance

yourself or have your vehicle serviced

at a location other than an Authorized

Mazda Dealer, Mazda requires that all

ﬂuids, parts and materials must meet

Mazda standards for durability and

performance as described in this

manual.

For expert advice and quality service,

consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

To continue warranty eligibility and to

protect your investment, it is your

responsibility to properly maintain your

vehicle according to factory

recommended schedules outlined in

this manual. As part of this you must

Vehicles utilizing the vehicle status monitor feature:

The vehicle status monitor feature alerts you of maintenance needs by turning on the

wrench indicator light or displaying a message in the instrument panel, or both.

Every maintenance must be done when the display/wrench indication comes on.

The display/wrench indication will come on before reaching the maximum interval

of 16,000 km (10,000 miles), or 12 months (after the previous maintenance).

If you drive your vehicle under any of the following conditions, follow the Severe

Driving Scheduled Maintenance and replace the engine oil and ﬁlter every 8,000 km

(5,000 miles) or 6 months, whichever comes ﬁrst.

Otherwise, follow the Normal Driving Scheduled Maintenance intervals.

1. The vehicle is idled for long periods or driven at low speeds, such as with police

cars, taxis, or driver's education school car.

2. Driving under dusty conditions.

3. Driving for long periods in cold temperatures or driving regularly for short distan-

ces only.

4. Driving under extremely high temperature conditions.

5. Driving continuously in mountainous regions.

If you are following the Severe Driving Scheduled Maintenance (8,000 km (5,000

miles) or 6 months oil replacement interval), set the vehicle status monitor manually.

Refer to the Information section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual. Please

contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer if necessary.

If you must run the engine while

working under the hood, make

certain that you remove all jewelry

(especially rings, bracelets, watches,

and necklaces) and all neckties,

scarves, and similar loose clothing

before getting near the engine or

cooling fan which may turn on

unexpectedly:

Working under the hood with the

engine running is dangerous. It

becomes even more dangerous when

you wear jewelry, loose clothing or

have long hair or a long beard.

Either can become entangled in

moving parts and result in injury.

Hood

▼

WARNING

Always check that the hood is closed

and securely locked:

A hood that is not closed and securely

locked is dangerous as it could ﬂy open

while the vehicle is moving and block

the driver's vision which could result in

a serious accident.

Opening the Hood

▼

1. With the vehicle parked, pull the

release handle to unlock the hood.

Pull over to a safe location, then

switch the ignition oﬀ and make sure

the fan is not running before

attempting to work near the cooling

fan:

Working near the cooling fan when it is

running is dangerous. The fan could

continue running indeﬁnitely even if

the engine has stopped and the engine

compartment temperature is high. You

could be hit by the fan and seriously

injured.

2. Insert your hand into the hood

opening, slide the latch lever to the

left, and lift up the hood.

Do not leave items in the engine

compartment:

After you have ﬁnished checking or

doing servicing in the engine

compartment, do not forget and leave

items such as tools or rags in the

engine compartment.

Tools or other items left in the engine

compartment could cause engine

damage or a ﬁre leading to an

unexpected accident.

Inspect the antifreeze protection and

coolant level in the coolant reservoir at

least once a year―at the beginning of

the winter season―and before

traveling where temperatures may drop

below freezing.

Engine Coolant

Inspecting Coolant Level

▼

WARNING

Do not use a match or live ﬂame in

the engine compartment. DO NOT

ADD COOLANT WHEN THE ENGINE

IS HOT:

Inspect the condition and connections

of all cooling system and heater hoses.

Replace any that are swollen or

deteriorated.

A hot engine is dangerous. If the

engine has been running, parts of the

engine compartment can become very

hot. You could be burned. Carefully

inspect the engine coolant in the

coolant reservoir, but do not open it.

The coolant should be at full in the

radiator and between the FULL and

LOW marks on the coolant reservoir

when the engine is cool.

Pull over to a safe location, then

switch the ignition oﬀ and make sure

the fan is not running before

attempting to work near the cooling

fan:

Working near the cooling fan when it is

running is dangerous. The fan could

continue running indeﬁnitely even if

the engine has stopped and the engine

compartment temperature is high. You

could be hit by the fan and seriously

WARNING

If the brake/clutch ﬂuid level is low,

have the brakes inspected:

A low brake/clutch ﬂuid level is

dangerous.

A low level could indicate brake lining

wear or a brake system leak which

to an accident.

If the coolant reservoir is empty or new

coolant is required frequently, consult

an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

The brakes and clutch draw ﬂuid from

the same reservoir.

Inspect the ﬂuid level in the reservoir

regularly. It should be kept between

the MAX and MIN lines.

Weather:

Use plain water if washer ﬂuid is

unavailable.

But use only washer ﬂuid in cold

weather to prevent it from freezing.

Operating your vehicle in temperatures

below 4 °C (40 °F) using washer ﬂuid

without anti-freeze protection is

dangerous as it could cause impaired

windshield vision and result in an

accident. In cold weather, always use

washer ﬂuid with anti-freeze

protection.

NOTE

Front and rear washer ﬂuid is supplied

from the same reservoir.

NOTE

State or local regulations may restrict

the use of volatile organic compounds

(VOCs), which are commonly used as

anti-freeze agents in washer ﬂuid. A

washer ﬂuid with limited VOC content

should be used only if it provides

adequate freeze resistance for all

regions and climates in which the

vehicle will be operated.

not from side to side. Tire performance

will be reduced if rotated from side to

side.

NOTE

Tires degrade over time, even when

they are not being used on the road. It

is recommended that tires generally be

replaced when they are 6 years or

older. Heat caused by hot climates or

frequent high loading conditions can

accelerate the aging process. You

Temporary Spare Tire

▼

Replacing just one tire is dangerous. It

could cause poor handling and poor

braking resulting in loss of vehicle

control. Mazda strongly recommends

that you replace all four tires at the

same time.

Inspect the temporary spare tire at

least monthly to make sure it is

properly inﬂated and stored.

NOTE

The temporary spare tire condition

gradually deteriorates even if it has not

been used.

If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator

will appear as a solid band across the

tread.

The temporary spare tire is easier to

handle because of its construction

which is lighter and smaller than a

conventional tire. This tire should be

used only for an emergency and only

for a short distance.

Replace the tire when this happens.

Use the temporary spare tire only until

the conventional tire is repaired, which

should be as soon as possible.

Tree sap will harden and adhere

permanently to the paint ﬁnish. If you

scratch the sap oﬀ while it is hard,

some vehicle paint could come oﬀ

with it.

Here are some examples of possible

damage, with tips on how to prevent

them.

Prevention

It is necessary to have your Mazda

washed and waxed to preserve its

ﬁnish according to the instructions in

this section. This should be done as

soon as possible.

Etching Caused by Acid Rain or

Industrial Fallout

Occurrence

Industrial pollutants and vehicle

emissions drift into the air and mix

with rain or dew to form acids. These

acids can settle on a vehicle's ﬁnish. As

the water evaporates, the acid

becomes concentrated and can

damage the ﬁnish.

And the longer the acid remains on the

surface, the greater the chance is for

damage.

Bird droppings can be removed with a

soft sponge and water. If you are

traveling and these are not available, a

moistened tissue may also take care of

the problem. The cleaned area should

be waxed according to the instructions

in this section.

Insects and tree sap are best removed

with a soft sponge and water or a

commercially available chemical

cleaner.

Prevention

It is necessary to wash and wax your

vehicle to preserve its ﬁnish according

to the instructions in this section.

These steps should be taken

immediately after you suspect that acid

rain has settled on your vehicle's ﬁnish.

Another method is to cover the

aﬀected area with dampened

newspaper for 1 to 2 hours. After

removing the newspaper, rinse oﬀ the

loosened debris with water.

Damage Caused by Bird Dropping,

Insects, or Tree Sap

Water Marks

Occurrence

Rain, fog, dew, and even tap water can

contain harmful minerals such as salt

and lime. If moisture containing these

minerals settles on the vehicle and

Bird droppings contain acids. If these

are not removed they can eat away the

Washing

Prevention

It is necessary to wash and wax your

vehicle to preserve its ﬁnish according

to the instructions in this section.

These steps should be taken

immediately after you ﬁnd water marks

on your vehicle's ﬁnish.

CAUTION

Before lifting the windshield wiper

blades oﬀ the windshield, always

follow the procedure for moving the

windshield wiper blades. Otherwise,

a wiper blade, wiper arm, or the

hood could be damaged.

Refer to the Replacing Windshield

Wiper Blades (page 6-21) section for

the procedure on how to move the

windshield wiper blades to the

service position.

Paint Chipping

Occurrence

Paint chipping occurs when gravel

thrown in the air by another vehicle's

tires hits your vehicle.

How to avoid paint chipping

When the wiper lever is in the AUTO

position and the ignition is switched

ON, the wipers may move

Keeping a safe distance between you

and the vehicle ahead reduces the

chances of having your paint chipped

automatically in the following cases:

If the windshield above the rain

sensor is touched or wiped with a

cloth.

If the windshield is struck with a

hand or other object from either

outside or inside the vehicle.

NOTE



The paint chipping zone varies with

the speed of the vehicle. For

example, when traveling at 90 km/h

(56 mph), the paint chipping zone is

50 m (164 ft).

Keep hands and scrapers clear of the

windshield when the wiper lever is in

the AUTO position and the ignition is

switched ON as ﬁngers could be

pinched or the wipers and wiper

blades damaged when the wipers

activate automatically.



In low temperatures a vehicle's ﬁnish

hardens. This increases the chance of

paint chipping.

Chipped paint can lead to rust



forming on your Mazda. Before this

happens, repair the damage by using

Mazda touch-up paint according to

the instructions in this section.

Failure to repair the aﬀected area

could lead to serious rusting and

expensive repairs.

If you are going to clean the

windshield, be sure the wipers are

turned oﬀ completely (when it is

most likely that the engine is left

running) this is particularly important

when clearing ice and snow.

Follow all label and container

directions when using a chemical



Scratches are more noticeable on

vehicles with darker paint ﬁnishes.

Do not spray water in the engine

compartment. Otherwise, it could

result in engine-starting problems or

damage to electrical parts.

When washing and waxing the

vehicle, be careful not to apply

excessive force to any single area of

the vehicle roof or the antenna.

Otherwise, you could dent the

vehicle or damage the antenna.

Make sure that the fuel-ﬁller lid is

closed and lock the doors.

To minimize scratches on the vehicle's

paint ﬁnish:



Rinse oﬀ any dirt or other foreign

matter using lukewarm or cold water

before washing.



Use plenty of lukewarm or cold

water and a soft cloth when washing

the vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth.



Rub gently when washing or drying

the vehicle.

Otherwise, the fuel-ﬁller lid may be

forcefully opened by water pressure

causing damage to the vehicle or

fuel-ﬁller lid.



Take your vehicle only to a car wash

that keeps its brushes well

maintained.



Do not use abrasive cleansers or wax

that contain abrasives.

To help protect the ﬁnish from rust and

deterioration, wash your Mazda

thoroughly and frequently, at least

once a month, with lukewarm or cold

water.

CAUTION

windows.

Thoroughly rinse oﬀ all soap with

lukewarm or cold water. Do not allow

soap to dry on the ﬁnish.

Waxing

Your vehicle needs to be waxed when

water no longer beads on the ﬁnish.

Always wash and dry the vehicle before

waxing it. In addition to the vehicle

body, wax the metal trim to maintain

its luster.

After washing the vehicle, dry it with a

clean chamois to prevent water spots

from forming.

accelerator pedal and lightly applying

the brakes several times until the

brake performance returns to normal:

Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.

Increased stopping distance or the

vehicle pulling to one side when

braking could result in a serious

accident. Light braking will indicate

whether the brakes have been

aﬀected.

Wax containing abrasives will

remove paints and could damage

bright metal parts.

2. Use a good grade of natural wax for

metallic, mica, and solid colors.

3. When waxing, coat evenly with the

sponge supplied or a soft cloth.

4. Wipe oﬀ the wax with a soft cloth.

NOTE

A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and

similar materials will usually also take

oﬀ the wax. Rewax these areas even if

the rest of the vehicle does not need it.

Deep scratches or chips on the ﬁnish

should be repaired promptly. Exposed

metal quickly rusts and can lead to

major repairs.

When using a high water pressure car

wash

High water temperature and high

water pressure car washers are

available depending on the type of car

wash machine. If the car washer nozzle

is put too close to the vehicle, the

force of the spray could damage or

deform the molding, aﬀect the

sealability of parts, and allow water to

penetrate the interior. Keep a suﬃcient

space (30 cm (12 in) or more)

CAUTION

Bright-Metal Maintenance

▼



Use tar remover to remove road tar

and insects. Never do this with a

knife or similar tool.

To prevent corrosion on bright-metal

surfaces, apply wax or chrome

preservative and rub it to a high

luster.

During cold weather or in coastal

areas, cover bright-metal parts with a

coating of wax or preservative

heavier than usual. It would also help

to coat them with noncorrosive

petroleum jelly or some other

protective compound.

The lower edges of doors, rocker

panels, and frame members have drain

holes that should not be clogged.

Water trapped there will cause rusting.
