            The  owner  or  a  qualifi ed service technician should make these vehicle inspections at the 
indicated intervals to ensure safe and dependable operation.
  
  Bring any problem to the attention of an Authorized Mazda Dealer or quali fi ed service 
technician as soon as possible.

  Improper or incomplete service may result in problems. This section gives instructions only 
for items that are easy to perform.
  
  As explained in the Introduction (page  6-2 ), several procedures can be done only by a 
qualifi  ed service technician with special tools.
  
  Improper owner maintenance during the warranty period may affect warranty coverage. 
Refer to Introduction (page  6-2 ) for owner's responsibility in protecting your investment. 
For details, read the separate Mazda Warranty statement provided with the vehicle. If you 
are unsure about any servicing or maintenance procedure, have it done by\
 an Authorized 
Mazda Dealer.
  
  There are strict environmental laws regarding the disposal of waste oil \
and  fl uids. Please 
dispose of your waste properly and with due regard to the environment.
  
  We recommend that you entrust the oil and  fl uid changes of your vehicle to an Authorized 
Mazda Dealer.

Owner Maintenance
          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.
   
 
MAXOK
MIN
 
   5.   Pull it out again and examine the level.
    The level is normal if it is between the  MIN and MAX marks.
    If it is near or below MIN, add enough  oil to bring the level to MAX.
  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.
  
   
 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 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.
   
   NOTE
  Changing the coolant should be done by 
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
  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.
  
  Inspect the condition and connections of 
all cooling system and heater hoses.
  Replace any that are swollen or 
deteriorated.
  
  The coolant should be at full in the 
radiator and between the F and L marks 
on the coolant reservoir when the engine 
is cool.
   
 
  If it is at or near L, add enough coolant to 
the coolant reservoir to provide freezing 
and corrosion protection and to bring the 
level to F.
  Securely tighten the coolant reservoir tank 
cap after adding coolant.
  CAUTION 
  Radiator coolant will damage paint.  Rinse it off   quickly if spilled.      If the “FL22” mark is shown on or near  the cooling system cap, use of FL-22 is 
recommended when replacing engine 
coolant. Using engine coolant other 
than FL-22 may cause serious damage to 
the engine and cooling system.
    
  
 
    
  If the coolant reservoir is empty or new 
coolant is required frequently, consult an 
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

If Trouble Arises
Overheating
                Overheating
    If  the  temperature  gauge  indicates 
overheating or the high engine coolant 
temperature warning light turns on, the 
vehicle loses power, or you hear a loud 
knocking or pinging noise, the engine is 
probably too hot.
  WARNING 
    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 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.
  
  Open the hood ONLY after steam is no 
longer escaping from the engine:   Steam from an overheated engine is 
dangerous. The escaping steam could 
seriously burn you.
   
  If the temperature gauge indicates 
overheating or the high engine coolant 
temperature warning light turns on:
  
  
   1.   Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.
   2.   Put a vehicle with an automatic  transaxle in park (P), a manual 
transaxle in neutral.
   3.   Apply  the  parking  brake.
   4.   Turn  off  the  air  conditioner.
   5.   Check whether coolant or steam is  escaping from the engine compartment.
   
    If steam is coming from the engine 
compartment:  
    Do not go near the front of the vehicle.  Stop the engine.
    Wait until the steam dissipates, then  open the hood and start the engine.
   
    If neither coolant nor steam is 
escaping:  
    Open the hood and idle the engine until  it cools.
  CAUTION 
  If the cooling fan does not operate 
while the engine is running, the engine 
temperature will increase. Stop the 
engine and call an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer.
   
   6.   Make sure the cooling fan is operating, then turn off the engine after the 
temperature has decreased.
   7.   When cool, check the coolant level.
    If it is low, look for coolant leaks from  the radiator and hoses.
