Appearance Care
Maintaining the Finish
Washing
CAUTION
 When the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move 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.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windshield when the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is
switched ON as fingers could be pinched
or the wipers and wiper blades damaged
when the wipers activate automatically.
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.
 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.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.
If the vehicle is washed improperly, the
paint surface could be scratched. Here are
some examples of how scratching could
occur.
Scratches occur on the paint surface when:
 The vehicle is washed without first
rinsing off dirt and other foreign matter. The vehicle is washed with a rough, dry
,
or dirty cloth. The vehicle is washed at a car wash that
uses brushes that are dirty or too stiff. Cleansers or wax containing abrasives
are used.
NOTE
 Mazda is not responsible for scratches
caused by automatic car washes or
improper washing.
 Scratches are more noticeable on
vehicles with darker paint finishes.
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. Take your vehicle only to a car wash
that keeps its brushes well maintained. Do not use abrasive cleansers or wax
that contain abrasives.

If Trouble Arises
Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
*Some models.
SignalWarning Action to be taken
Seat Belt Warning Light
The seat belt warning light illuminates if the driver or front passenger\
's seat is occupied and
the seat belt is not fastened with the ignition switched ON.
Seat belt reminder
If the vehicle is driven with the driver or front passenger's seat belt \
unfastened, the seat belt
warning light illuminates and a warning beep sounds.
NOTE
If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened (only when the front passenger seat
is occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed faster than about 20 \
km/h (12 mph), the
warning light will flash and a beep sound will be heard. After a short time, the warning light
stops flashing, but remains illuminated, and the beep sound stops.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given period of time has elapsed, the\
beep sound will not
stop even if the vehicle speed falls below 20 km/h (12 mph).
NOTE
The warning light flashes and a beep sound will be heard for about 6 seconds if the driver's
seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is switched ON.
If a driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened after the beep sound turns off (warning light remains illuminated), and the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph), \
the
warning light flashes and beep sound activates again.
Placing heavy items on the front passenger seat may cause the front passenger seat belt warning function to operate depending on the weight of the item.
To allow the front passenger seat weight sensor to function properly, do not place and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger seat. The sensor may not function
properly because the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.
When a small child sits on the front passenger seat, it is possible that the warning light will not operate.
Door-Ajar Warning Light The light turns on if any door is not closed
securely.
Close the door securely.
Low Washer Fluid Level Warning
Light*
This warning light indicates that little
washer fluid remains. Add washer fluid (page 6-32).

If Trouble Arises
Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
*Some models.
SignalWarning Action to be taken
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Warning Light*
When the warning light illuminates, and
the warning beep sound is heard (about 3
seconds), tire pressure is too low in one or
more tires.
WARNING
If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or flashes,
or the tire pressure warning beep
sound is heard, decrease vehicle
speed immediately and avoid sudden
maneuvering and braking: If the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light illuminates or flashes, or
the tire pressure warning beep sound
is heard, it is dangerous to drive the
vehicle at high speeds, or perform
sudden maneuvering or braking.
Vehicle drivability could worsen and
result in an accident.
To determine if you have a slow leak or
a flat, pull over to a safe position where
you can check the visual condition
of the tire and determine if you have
enough air to proceed to a place where
air may be added and the system
monitored again by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer or a tire repair station.
Do not ignore the TPMS Warning Light: Ignoring the TPMS warning light is
dangerous, even if you know why it is
illuminated. Have the problem taken
care of as soon as possible before it
develops into a more serious situation
that could lead to tire failure and a
dangerous accident. Inspect the tires and adjust to the specified
inflation pressure (page
6-43).
NOTE
Perform tire pressure adjustment when
the tires are cold. Tire pressure will vary
according to the tire temperature, therefore
let the vehicle stand for 1 hour or only drive
it 1.6 km (1 mile) or less before adjusting
the tire pressures. When pressure is adjusted
on hot tires to the cold inflation pressure,
the TPMS warning light/beep may turn on
after the tires cool and pressure drops below
specification.
Also, an illuminated TPMS warning light,
resulting from the tire air pressure dropping
due to cold ambient temperature will remain
illuminated even if the ambient temperature
rises. In this case, it will also be necessary
to adjust the tire air pressures. If the TPMS
warning light illuminates due to a drop in
tire air pressure, make sure to check and
adjust the tire air pressures.
Tires lose air naturally over time and the TPMS cannot tell if the tires are getting
too soft over time or you have a flat.
However, when you find one low tire in a
set of four-that is an indication of trouble;
you should have someone drive the vehicle
slowly forward so you can inspect any low
tire for cuts and any metal objects sticking
through tread or sidewall. Put a few drops
of water in the valve stem to see if it bubbles
indicating a bad valve. Leaks need to be
addressed by more than simply reinflating
the tire as leaks are dangerous — take it to
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Warning Light
*
The light turns on if the windshield and
the radar sensor are dirty or there is a
malfunction in the system. Verify the reason why the warning light
is illuminated on the center display (page
7-24).
If the reason why the warning light is
illuminated is due to a dirty windshield, clean
the windshield.
If the warning light is illuminated because of
a dirty radar sensor, clean the front emblem.
For any other reasons, have the vehicle
inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

If Trouble Arises
Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
Seat Belt Warning Beep
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition is switched ON, a beep
sound will be heard for about 6 seconds. If
the driver or the front passenger's seat belt
is not fastened and the vehicle is driven
at a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12
mph), a beep sound will be heard again for
a speci¿ ed period of time.
N O T E
 y  Placing heavy items on the front
passenger seat may cause the front
passenger seat belt warning function to
operate depending on the weight of the
item.
 y To allow the front passenger seat weight
sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion
on the front passenger seat. The sensor
may not function properly because the
additional seat cushion could cause
sensor interference.
 y When a small child sits on the front
passenger seat, it is possible that the
warning beep will not operate.

Ignition Not Switched Off (STOP) Warning Beep
If the driver's door is opened with the
ignition switched to ACC, a beep will
be heard continuously in the cabin to
notify the driver that the ignition has not
been switched OFF (STOP). Under this
condition, the keyless entry system will
not operate, the vehicle cannot be locked,
and the battery voltage will be depleted.

Key Removed from Vehicle Warning Beep
Vehicles with advanced keyless function
If the key is taken out of the vehicle while
the ignition is not switched OFF and
all the doors are closed, the beep which
sounds outside of the vehicle will be heard
6 times, the beep which sounds inside
the vehicle will be heard 6 times, and the
KEY warning light (red) in the instrument
cluster À ashes continuously to notify
the driver that the ignition has not been
switched OFF.
Vehicles without advanced keyless
function
If the key is taken out of the vehicle while
the ignition is not switched OFF and all
the doors are closed, a beep will be heard
in the cabin 6 times and the KEY warning
light (red) in the instrument cluster turns
on continuously to notify the driver that
the ignition has not been switched OFF.
N O T E
Because the key utilizes low-intensity
radio waves, the Key Removed From
Vehicle Warning may activate if the key is
carried together with a metal object or it
is placed in a poor signal reception area.

Request Switch Inoperable Warning Beep (With the advanced
keyless function)
If the request switch is pressed with the
door open or ajar, or the ignition is not
switched OFF with a key being carried,
a beep will be heard outside for about 2
seconds to notify the driver that the door
or liftgate/trunk lid cannot be locked.
