it with a soft cloth soaked in a mild
detergent (approx. 5%) diluted with
water.
2. Wipe off the remaining detergent using
a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.
3. Before retracting seat belts which have
been pulled out for cleaning, dry them
off thoroughly and make sure there is
no remaining moisture on them.

WARNING
If a seat belt appears frayed or has
abrasions, have it replaced by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer:
If a seat belts is used under such a
condition, it cannot function at its full
capacity which could result in serious
injury or death.

Use a mild detergent to remove soiling
from a seat belt:

cleaning the seat belts or they
become stained or bleached, there
is the possibility of them becoming
weakened and as a result, they may
not function at their full capacity
which could cause serious injury or
death.

NOTE
Clean seat belts diligently if they get
dirty. Leaving them uncleaned will make
it diffi cult to clean them later, and it may
affect the smooth retracting of the seat
belt.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
NOTE
 


 Because genuine leather is a natural
material, its surface is not uniform and
it may have natural scars, scratches,
and wrinkles.
 


 To maintain the quality for as long as
possible, periodical maintenance, about
twice a year, is recommended.
 


 If the leather upholstery comes into
contact with any of the following, clean
it immediately.
  Leaving it uncleaned could cause
premature wear, mold, or stains.
 


 Sand or dirt



 Grease or oil, such as hand cream



 Alcohol, such as in cosmetic or hair
dressing items
 


 If the leather upholstery gets wet,
promptly remove moisture with a dry
cloth. Remaining moisture on the
surface may cause deterioration such as
hardening and shrinkage.
 


 Exposure to direct sunlight for long
periods may cause deterioration and
shrinkage. When parking the car under
direct sunlight for long periods, shade
the interior using sunshades.
 


 Do not leave vinyl products on the
leather upholstery for long periods.
They may affect the leather quality
and coloring. If the cabin temperature
becomes hot, the vinyl may deteriorate
and adhere to the genuine leather.

Plastic Part Maintenance
CAUTION
Do not use polishing agents.
Depending on the product ingredients,
they could cause discoloration, stains,
cracks or peeling of the coating.

Instrument Panel Top
Maintenance
1. Wipe the soiled area with a soft cloth
soaked in a mild detergent (approx.
5%) diluted with water.
2. Wipe off the remaining detergent using
a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.

Panel Maintenance
If a panel becomes soiled, wipe it off with
a soft cloth soaked in clean water and
thoroughly wrung out.
If some areas require further cleaning, use
the following procedure:

1. Wipe the soiled area with a soft cloth
soaked in a mild detergent (approx. 5
%) diluted with water.
2. Wipe off the remaining detergent using
a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.

NOTE
Be particularly careful when cleaning
shiny surface panels and metallic parts
such as plating as they can be scratched
easily.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
*Some models.
Active Driving Display
Maintenance *
The dust-proof sheet has a coating. When
cleaning, do not use a hard or rough-
surface cloth, or cleaning detergent. In
addition, if a chemical solvent gets on
the active driving display, wipe it off
immediately. The dust-proof sheet could
be damaged and the surface coating could
be scratched. Use a fi ne, soft cloth such as
those used for cleaning eyeglasses.
NOTE
Use of compressed air when cleaning the
dust-proof sheet is recommended.

Cleaning the Window Interiors
If the windows become covered with an
oily, greasy, or waxy fi lm, clean them with
glass cleaner. Follow the directions on the
container.
CAUTION
 


 Do not scrape or scratch the inside of
the window glass. It could damage the
thermal fi laments and the antenna lines.
 


 When washing the inside of the window
glass, use a soft cloth dampened in
lukewarm water, gently wiping the
thermal fi laments and the antenna lines.
  Use of glass cleaning products could
damage the thermal fi laments and the
antenna lines.

Cleaning the Floor Mats
Rubber fl oor mats should be cleaned with
mild soap and water only.
WARNING
Do not use rubber cleaners, such as tire
cleaner or tire shine, when cleaning
rubber fl oor mats:
Cleaning the rubber fl oor mats with
rubber cleaning products makes the
fl oor mats slippery.
This may cause an accident when
depressing the accelerator or brake
pedal or when getting in or out of the
vehicle.

After removing the fl oor mats for cleaning,
always reinstall them securely (page
3-51 ).

Spare Tire
Your Mazda has a temporary spare tire.
The temporary spare tire is lighter and
smaller than a conventional tire, and is
designed only for emergency use and
should be used only for VERY short
periods. Temporary spare tires should
NEVER be used for long drives or
extended periods.
WARNING
Do not install the temporary spare tire
on the front wheels (driving wheels):
Driving with the temporary spare tire
on one of the front driving wheels is
dangerous. Handling will be aff ected.
You could lose control of the vehicle,
especially on ice or snow bound roads,
and have an accident. Move a regular
tire to the front wheel and install the
temporary spare tire to the rear.

CAUTION
 


 When using the temporary spare tire,
driving stability may decrease compared
to when using only the conventional tire.
Drive carefully.
 


 To avoid damage to the temporary
spare tire or to the vehicle, observe the
following precautions:
 


 Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).



 Avoid driving over obstacles. Also, do
not drive through an automatic car
wash. This tire's diameter is smaller
than a conventional tire, so the
ground clearance is reduced.
 


 Do not use a tire chain on this tire
because it will not fi t properly.
 


 Do not use your temporary spare
tire on any other vehicle, it has been
designed only for your Mazda.
 


 Use only one temporary spare tire on
your vehicle at the same time.
