Inspecting Engine Oil Level
1. Be sure the vehicle is on a level
surface.
2. Warm up the engine to normal
operating temperature.
3. Turn it off and wait at least 5 minutes
for the oil to return to the oil pan.
4. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and
reinsert it fully.


Full
OK
Low

5. Pull it out again and examine the level.
The level is normal if it is between
Low and Full.
If it is near or below Low, add enough
oil to bring the level to Full.
CAUTION
Do not overfi ll the engine oil. This may
cause engine damage.

6. Make sure the O-ring on the dipstick is
positioned properly before reinserting
the dipstick.
7. Reinsert the dipstick fully.

Engine Coolant
Inspecting Coolant Level
WARNING
Do not use a match or live fl ame in the
engine compartment. DO NOT ADD
COOLANT WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT:
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.

Switch the ignition to 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 indefi nitely even if
the engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.

Do not remove either cooling
system cap when the engine and
radiator are hot:
When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot
out under pressure and cause serious
injury.

N O T E
Changing the coolant should be done by
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Wiper Blades
CAUTION
 


¾ Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to aff ect the
wiper's ability to clean windows.
 


¾ To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.
 


¾ When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
 


¾ If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched.
 


¾ If the windshield above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
 


¾ If the windshield is struck with a hand
or other object.
 


¾ If the rain sensor is struck with a hand
or other object from inside the vehicle.
  Be careful not to pinch hands or fi ngers
as it may cause injury, or damage the
wipers. When washing or servicing the
vehicle, make sure the wiper lever is in
the OFF position.

Contamination of either the windshield or
the blades with foreign matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.

If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.
Replacing Windshield Wiper
Blades
When the wipers no longer clean well, the
blades are probably worn or cracked.
Replace them.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper arms
and other components, do not try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.

N O T E
When raising both windshield wiper arms,
raise the driver's side wiper arm ¿ rst.
When lowering the wiper arms, slowly
lower the wiper arm from the passenger's
side ¿ rst while supporting it with your
hand. Forcefully lowering the wiper arms
could damage the wiper arm and blade,
and may scratch or crack the windshield.

1. Raise the wiper arm.
2. Open the clip and slide the blade
assembly in the direction of the arrow.

Fuses
Your vehicle's electrical system is
protected by fuses.

If any lights, accessories, or controls do
not work, inspect the appropriate circuit
protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside
element will be melted.

If the same fuse blows again, avoid using
that system and consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
Fuse Replacement
Replacing the fuses on the vehicle's left
side
If the electrical system does not work, ¿ rst
inspect the fuses on the vehicle's left side.


1. Make sure the ignition is switched off,
and other switches are off.
2. Open the fuse panel cover.

3. Pull the fuse straight out with the
fuse puller provided on the fuse block
located in the engine compartment.


4. Inspect the fuse and replace it if it is
blown.

NormalBlown

5. Insert a new fuse of the same amperage
rating, and make sure it ¿ ts tightly. If
it does not ¿ t tightly, have an expert
install it. We recommend an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow one
of the same rating from a circuit not
essential to vehicle operation, such as
the AUDIO or OUTLET circuit.
CAUTION
Always replace a fuse with a genuine
Mazda fuse or equivalent of the same
rating. Otherwise you may damage
the electric system.
