Brake fluid reservoirReplenishing WindshieldWasher Fluid
WARNING
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 ℃ (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.
CAUTION
Do not use soapy water or engine
antifreeze in the reservoir as it could
cause paint discoloration or pump
damage.
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.

Replenish the washer fluid on a flat
surface. If the vehicle is tilted, washerfluid may not fill sufficiently.
Add washer fluid under any of the
following conditions.
The top of the fluid level is low.The Low Washer Fluid Level Warning
Indication/Warning Light (if
equipped) turns on.
The top of the fluid level is lower
than L (if equipped).

Use plain water if washer fluid is
unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold
weather to prevent it from freezing.
Inspecting Lead-acid
Battery
WARNING
Read the following
precautions carefully before using the
lead-acid battery or inspecting to
ensure safe and correct handling.
Always wear eye
protection when working near the
lead-acid battery.
Working without eye protection is
dangerous. Lead-acid battery fluid
contains SULFURIC ACID which could
cause blindness if splashed into your
eyes. Also, hydrogen gas produced
during normal lead-acid battery
operation, could ignite and cause the
lead-acid battery to explode.
Wear eye protection
and protective gloves to prevent
contact with lead-acid battery fluid.
Spilled lead-acid battery fluid is
dangerous.
Lead-acid battery fluid contains
SULFURIC ACID which could cause
serious injuries if it gets in eyes, or on
the skin or clothing. If this happens,
immediately flush your eyes with water
for 15 minutes or wash your skin
thoroughly and get medical attention.

Always keep lead-acid
batteries out of the reach of children.
Allowing children to play near
lead-acid batteries is dangerous.
Lead-acid battery fluid could cause
serious injuries if it gets in the eyes or
on the skin.
Keep flames and sparks
away from lead-acid battery cells and
do not allow metal tools to contact
the positive (+) or negative (-)
terminal of the lead-acid battery
when working near a lead-acid
battery. Do not allow the positive (+)
terminal to contact the vehicle body.
Flames and sparks near lead-acid
battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen
gas, produced during normal lead-acid
battery operation, could ignite and
cause the lead-acid battery to explode.
An exploding lead-acid battery can
cause serious burns and injuries. Keep
all flames including cigarettes and
sparks away from lead-acid battery
cells.
Keep all flames and
sparks away from lead-acid battery
cells because hydrogen gas is
produced from lead-acid battery cells
while charging the lead-acid battery
or adding lead-acid battery fluid.

Replacing Windshield
Wiper Blade Rubbers
CAUTION
 Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to
affect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
 An operation malfunction may occur
or the wiper
effectiveness may be
reduced if a water-repellent coating
is used.
 To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.
 When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the vehicle power is
switched ON, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
 If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched.
 If the windshield above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
 If the windshield is struck with a
hand or other object.

Keep your tire pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needsinflating, have it inspected.Rotating the Tires
WARNING
Rotate tires periodically.
Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining
good performance in handling and
braking , rotate the tires periodically or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
Please refer to Scheduled maintenance
for your tire rotation interval.
During rotation, inspect them for
correct balance.


Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tire in rotation.
Also, inspect them for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually
caused by one or a combination of the
following:

Incorrect tire pressureImproper wheel alignmentOut-of-balance wheelSevere braking

After rotation, inflate all tire pressures
to specification (page 10-71) and
inspect the lug nuts for tightness.

Replace the tire when this happens.
1. New tread
2. Worn tread
3. Tread wear indicator

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 10-30.
Replacing Light Bulbs
All the light bulbs are the LED type.
The LED bulb cannot be replaced as a
single unit because it is an integrated
unit.
The LED bulb has to be replaced with
the unit. If a replacement is necessary,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Adjusting the Headlight Aim
If the headlight cannot be adjusted
using procedure below, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
1. Make sure the vehicle has a fulltank of gasoline and the area
around the headlight is not
deformed.
2. Park the vehicle on level ground.
3. Sit in the driver's seat.
4. Bounce the vehicle several times.
5. Using a Phillips-head screw-driver, turn bolt A in either direction.
Remember the turning direction
and the number of turns.
6. Turn bolt B the same number of turns and in the same direction as
step 5.
