²Remove particles such as bird droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar
spots, road salt and industrial fallout before repairing paint chips.
² Always read the instructions before using the products.
ALUMINUM WHEELS AND COVERS
Aluminum wheel rims or covers are coated with a clearcoat paint finish.
In order to maintain their shine:
² Clean with cool or lukewarm water and a neutral pH shampoo.
² Never apply any cleaning chemical to hot or warm wheel rims or
covers.
² Some automatic car washes may cause damage to the finish on your
wheel rims or covers. Chemical-strength cleaners, or cleaning
chemicals, in combination with brush agitation to remove brake dust
and dirt, could wear away the clearcoat finish over time.
² Do not use hydrofluoric acid-based or high caustic-based wheel
cleaners, steel wool, fuels or strong household detergent.
² To remove tar and grease, use Extra Strength Tar and Road Oil
Remover (0000±77±410E-01), available from your authorized Mazda
dealer.
ENGINE
Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt
buildup keep the engine warmer than normal. When washing:
² Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The
high-pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause
damage.
² Never spray the engine or other engine components with water. Water
will damage the engine or other engine components.
² Spray Engine Shampoo and Degreaser (0000±77±410E-09), available at
your authorized Mazda dealer, on all parts that require cleaning and
pressure rinse clean.
² Cover the highlighted areas to prevent water damage when cleaning
the engine.

²4.0L Engine
² Never wash or rinse the engine while it is running; water in the
running engine may cause internal damage.
PLASTIC (NON-PAINTED) EXTERIOR PARTS
Use only approved products to clean plastic parts. These products are
available from your dealer.
² For routine cleaning, use cool or lukewarm water with a neutral pH
shampoo.
² If tar or grease spots are present, use Extra Strength Tar and Road Oil
Remover (0000±77±410E-01), available at your authorized Mazda
dealer.
WINDOWS AND WIPER BLADES
The windshield, rear and side windows and the wiper blades should be
cleaned regularly. If the wipers do not wipe properly, substances on the
vehicle's glass or the wiper blades may be the cause. These may include
hot wax treatments used by commercial car washes, water repellant
coatings, tree sap, or other organic contamination; these contaminants
may cause squeaking or chatter noise from the blades, and streaking and
smearing of the windshield. To clean these items, follow these tips:
² The windshield, rear windows and side windows may be cleaned with
a non-abrasive cleaner such as Ultra-Clear Spray Glass Cleaner
(0000±77±400E-01 and 0000±77±400E-02), available from your
authorized Mazda dealer.
² The wiper blades can be cleaned with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or a
windshield washer concentrate. This washer fluid concentrate contains

a special solution in addition to alcohol which helps to remove the hot
wax deposited on the wiper blade and windshield from automated car
wash facilities. Be sure to replace wiper blades when they appear
worn or do not function properly.
² Do not use abrasives, as they may cause scratches.
² Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint thinner to clean any parts.
INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CLUSTER LENS
Clean the instrument panel with a damp cloth, then with a clean, dry
cloth, or use Mazda Deluxe Leather and Vinyl Cleaner
(0000±77±430E-15).
² Avoid cleaners or polish that increase the gloss of the upper portion of
the instrument panel. The dull finish in this area helps protect the
driver from undesirable windshield reflection.
WARNING: Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents
when cleaning the steering wheel or instrument panel to avoid
contamination of the airbag system.
² Be certain to wash or wipe your hands clean if you have been in
contact with certain products such as insect repellent and suntan
lotion in order to avoid possible damage to the interior painted
surfaces.
INTERIOR TRIM
² Clean the interior trim areas with a damp cloth, then with a clean, dry
cloth; you may also use Mazda Deluxe Leather and Vinyl Cleaner
(0000±77±430E-15).
² Do not use household or glass cleaners, as these may damage the
finish.
INTERIOR
For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, and safety belts:
² Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
² Remove light stains and soil with Upholstery Cleaner and Spot
Remover (0000±77±430E-01), available at your authorized Mazda
dealer.
² If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first
with Spot and Stain Remover (0000±77±410E-01), available at your
authorized Mazda dealer.

²If a solvent ring forms on the fabric after spot cleaning, clean the
entire area immediately (but do not oversaturate) or the ring will set.
² Do not use household cleaning products or glass cleaners, which can
stain and discolor the fabric and affect the flame retardant abilities of
the seat materials.

INTRODUCTION
Be extremely careful to prevent injury to yourself and others or damage
to your vehicle when using this manual for inspection and maintenance.
If you're unsure about any procedure it describes, we strongly urge you
to have a reliable and qualified service shop perform the work, preferably
an authorized Mazda Dealer.
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.
For expert advice and quality service, consult an authorized Mazda
Dealer.
The owner should retain evidence that proper maintenance has been
performed as prescribed.
Claims against the warranty resulting from lack of maintenance, as
opposed to defective materials or authorized Mazda workmanship, will
not be honored.
Any auto repair shop using parts equivalent to your Mazda's original
equipment may perform maintenance.But we recommend that it
always be done by an authorized Mazda Dealer using genuine
Mazda parts.
