 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, fi 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.
 
Normal Blown
 
   5.   Insert a new fuse of the same amperage  rating, and make sure it  fi ts tightly. If 
it does not  fi 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.

   6.   Reinstall the cover and make sure that it is securely installed.
    
  Replacing the fuses under the hood
    If the headlights or other electrical 
components do not work and the fuses 
in the cabin are normal, inspect the fuse 
block under the hood. If a fuse is blown, it 
must be replaced. Follow these steps:
  
  
   1.   Make sure the ignition is switched off, and other switches are off.
   2.   Remove  the  fuse  block  cover.
 
 
   3.   If any fuse but the MAIN fuse is  blown, replace it with a new one   of the 
same amperage rating .
 
Normal Blown
 
  WARNING 
  Do not replace the main fuse by 
yourself. Have an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer perform the replacement:
  Replacing the fuse by yourself is 
dangerous because the MAIN fuse 
is a high current fuse. Incorrect 
replacement could cause an electrical 
shock or a short circuit resulting in a 
fi r e .
   
   4.   Reinstall the cover and make sure that it is securely installed.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
      Exterior  Care
            The  paintwork  on  your  Mazda  represents 
the latest technical developments in 
composition and methods of application.
  
  Environmental hazards, however, can 
harm the paint's protective properties, if 
proper care is not taken.
  
  Here are some examples of possible 
damage, with tips on how to prevent them.
  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 fi nish. As the water evaporates, 
the acid becomes concentrated and can 
damage the  fi nish.
  And the longer the acid remains on the 
surface, the greater the chance is for 
damage.
  Prevention
    It is necessary to wash and wax your 
vehicle to preserve its  fi nish 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 fi  nish.
  Damage Caused by Bird Dropping, 
Insects, or Tree Sap
    Occurrence
    Bird droppings contain acids. If these 
are not removed they can eat away the 
clear and color base coat of the vehicle's 
paintwork.
  
  When insects stick to the paint surface and 
decompose, corrosive compounds form. 
These can erode the clear and color base 
coat of the vehicle's paintwork if they are 
not removed.
  
  Tree sap will harden and adhere 
permanently to the paint  fi nish. If you 
scratch the sap off while it is hard, some 
vehicle paint could come off with it.
  Prevention
    It is necessary to have your Mazda washed 
and waxed to preserve its  fi nish according 
to the instructions in this section. This 
should be done as soon as possible.
  
  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.
  
  Another method is to cover the affected 
area with dampened newspaper for one to 
two hours. After removing the newspaper, 
rinse off the loosened debris with water.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
  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 evaporates, the 
minerals will concentrate and harden to 
form white rings. The rings can damage 
your vehicle's fi nish.
  Prevention
    It is necessary to wash and wax your 
vehicle to preserve its  fi nish according to 
the instructions in this section. These steps 
should be taken immediately after you  fi nd 
water marks on your vehicle's  fi nish.
  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
    Keeping a safe distance between you and 
the vehicle ahead reduces the chances 
of having your paint chipped by  fl ying 
gravel.   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).
   In low temperatures a vehicle's  fi nish 
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.
     
  
  Follow   all  label and container directions 
when using a chemical cleaner or polish. 
Read all warnings and cautions.
