â–¼ Vehicle Engine Control Unit Reset
Procedure
After replacing the engine oil, it is
recommended to have a repair shop such
as an Authorized Mazda Dealer perform
the initialization (engine oil data resetting)
of the recorded value. If the value
recorded by the computer is not initialized,
the wrench indicator light may not turn off
or it may turn on earlier than normal.
For the details, refer
to the Information
section in the Mazda Connect Owner's
Manual.
â–¼ 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 ret urn to the oil pan.
4. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and
reinsert it fully.
MAX
MIN OK
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 overfill 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.

Washer Fluid
â–¼Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WA R N I N G
Use only windshield washer fluid or plain
water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fluid is
dangerous. If sprayed on the windshield, it
will dirty the windshield, affect your
visibility, and could result in an accident.
Using Washer Fluid Without Anti-freeze
Protection in Cold Weather:
Operating your vehicle in temperatures
below 4 °C (40 °F) using washer fluid
without anti-freeze protection is dangerous
as it could cause impaired windshield
vision and result in an accident. In cold
weather, always use washer fluid with
anti-freeze protection.
NOTE
State or local regulations may restrict the
use of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), which are commonly used as
anti-freeze agents in washer fluid. A
washer fluid with limited VOC content
should be used only if it provides adequate
freeze resistance for all regions and
climates in which the vehicle will be
operated.
Add washer fluid under any of the
following conditions.
ï‚·The top of the fluid level is low.
ï‚·The Low Washer Fluid Level Warning
Indication/Warning Light (if equipped)
turns on.
ï‚·The top of the fluid level is lower than L
(if equipped).
L
Use plain water if washer fluid is
unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold weather
to prevent it from freezing.
NOTE
Front and rear washer fluid is supplied
from the same reservoir.

â–¼Battery Maintenance
To get the best service from a battery:
ï‚·Keep it securely mounted.
ï‚·Keep the top clean and dry.
ï‚·Keep terminals and connections clean,
tight, and coated with petroleum jelly or
terminal grease.
ï‚·Rinse off spilled electrolyte immediately
with a solution of water and baking
soda.
ï‚·If the vehicle will
not be used for an
extended time, disconnect the battery
cables and charge the battery every 6
weeks.
â–¼ Battery Replacement
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer for
battery replacement.
Key Battery Replacement
If the buttons on the transmitter are
inoperable and the operation indicator
light does not flash, the battery may be
dead.
Replace with a new battery before the
transmitter becomes unusable.
CAUTION

Make sure the battery is installed
correctly. Battery leakage could occur if it
is not installed correctly.
 When replacing the battery, be careful
not to touch any of the internal circuitry
and electrical terminals, bend the
electrical terminals, or get dirt in the
transmitter as the transmitter could be
damaged.
 There is the danger of explosion if the
battery is not correctly replaced.
 Dispose of used batteries according to
the following instructions.
 Insulate the plus and minus terminals
of the battery using cellophane or
equivalent tape.
 Never disassemble.
 Never throw the battery into
fire or
water.
 Never deform or crush.
 Replace only with the same type battery
(CR2032 or equivalent).
The following conditions indicate that the
battery power is low:
ï‚·The KEY indicator light (green) flashes
in the instrument cluster for about 30
seconds after the engine is switched
OFF (for vehicles with a type A/type B

messages are displayed in the instrument
cluster).
ï‚·The system does not operate and the
operation indicator light on the
transmitter does not flash when the
buttons are pressed.
ï‚·The system's operational range is
reduced.
Replacing the battery at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer, is recommended to prevent
damage to the key. If replacing the battery
by yourself, follow the instruction.
Replacing the key battery
1. Remove the lower cover while sliding the knob in the direction of the arrow.
2. Press in the tab to unlock the uppercover.
3. Insert a tape-wrapped flathead
screwdriver into the gap and slide it in
the direction of the arrow.
4. Twist the flathead s crewdriver in the
direction of the arrow and remove the
upper cover.
5. Remove the cap using the
tape-wrapped flathead screwdriver.
6. Remove the battery usingtape-wrapped flathead screwdriver.
7. Insert a new battery into the transmitterso that the positive pole is facing up.

ï‚·Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification (page 9-7) and inspect the
lug nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires
that have an asymmetrical tread pattern or
studs only from front to rear, not from side
to side. Tire performance will be reduced if
rotated from side to side.
â–¼ Replacing a Tire
WA R N I N G
Always use tires that are in good condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and traction
could result in an accident.
Replace all four tires at the same time:
Replacing just one ti
re is dangerous. It
could cause poor handling and poor
braking resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Mazda strongly recommends that you
replace all four tires at the same time.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will
appear as a solid band across the tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
New tread Tread wear indicator
Worn tread
You should replace the tire before the band
crosses the entire tread.
NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when they
are not being used on the road. It is
recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or older.
Heat caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can accelerate the
aging process. You should replace the
spare tire when you replace the other road
tires due to the aging of the spare tire. The
period in which the tire was manufactured
(both week and year) is indicated by a
4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-25.
â–¼Temporary Spare Tire
Inspect the temporary spare tire at least
monthly to make su
re it is properly
inflated and stored.
NOTE
The temporary spare tire condition
gradually deteriorates even if it has not
been used.
The temporary spare tire is easier to
handle because of its construction which is
lighter and smaller t han a conventional

tire. This tire should be used only for an
emergency and only for a short distance.
Use the temporary spare tire only until the
conventional tire is repaired, which should
be as soon as possible.
Refer to Tires on page 9-7.
CAUTION
Do not use your temporary spare tire rim
with a snow tire or a conventional tire.
Neither will properly fit and could
damage both tire and rim.
 The temporary spare tire has a tread life
of less than 5,000 km (3,000 miles). The
tread life may be shorter depending on
driving conditions.
 The temporary spare tire is for limited
use, however, if the tread wear
solid-band indicator appears, replace the
tire with the same type of temporary
spare (page 6-36).
NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when they
are not being used on the road. It is
recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or older.
Heat caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can accelerate the
aging process. You should replace the
spare tire when you replace the other road
tires due to the aging of the spare tire. The
period in which the tire was manufactured
(both week and year) is indicated by a
4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-25.
â–¼ Replacing a Wheel
WA R N I N G
Always use wheels of the correct size on
your vehicle:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is dangerous.
Braking and handling could be
affected,
leading to loss of control and an accident.
CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely affect:
 Tire fit
 Wheel and bearing life
 Ground clearance
 Snow-chain clearance
 Speedometer calibration
 Headlight aim
 Bumper height
 Tire Pressure Monitoring System
*
NOTE
ï‚·When replacing a wheel, make sure the
new one is the same as the original
factory wheel in diameter, rim width,
and offset (inset/outset).
ï‚·For details, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Proper tire balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and flat spots.
