▼Satisfaction Review Process
Your complete and permanent
satisfaction is of primary concern to
Mazda. All Authorized Mazda Dealers
have both the knowledge and tools to
keep your Mazda in top condition. In
our experience, any questions,
problems, or complaints regarding the
operation of your Mazda or any other
general service transactions are most
effectively
resolved by your dealer. If
the cause of your dissatisfaction
cannot adequately be addressed by
normal dealership procedures, we
recommend that you take the
following steps:
▼ STEP 1: Contact the Mazda Dealer
Discuss the matter with a member of
dealership management. If the Service
Manager has already reviewed your
concerns, contact the owner of the
dealership or its General Manager.
▼STEP 2: Contact the Mazda
Regional Office
If you feel that you still require
assistance, ask the dealer Service
Manager to arrange for you to meet
the local Mazda Service
Representative. If more expedient,
contact Mazda Canada Inc. Regional
Office nearest you for such
arrangements. Regional Office address
and phone numbers are shown (page
8-8).
▼
STEP 3: Contact the Mazda
Customer Relations Department
If still not substantially satisfied,
contact the Customer Relations
Department, Mazda Canada Inc., 55
Vogell Road, Richmond Hill, Ontario,
L4B 3K5 Canada TEL: 1 (800)

▼Mediation/Arbitration Program
Occasionally a customer concern
cannot be resolved through Mazda's
Customer Satisfaction Program. If after
exhausting the procedures in this
manual your concern is still not
resolved, you have another option.

Mazda Canada Inc. participates in an
arbitration program administered by
the Canadian Motor Vehicle
Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP). CAMVAP
will advise you about how your
concern may be reviewed and resolved
by an independent third party through
binding arbitration.

Your complete satisfaction is the goal
of Mazda Canada Inc. and our dealers.
Mazda's participation in CAMVAP
makes a valuable contribution to our
achieving that goal. There is no charge
for using CAMVAP. CAMVAP results
are fast, fair and final as the award is
binding on both you and Mazda
Canada Inc.
▼Canadian Motor Vehicle
Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP)
If a specific item of concern arises,
where a solution cannot be reached
between an owner, Mazda, and/or
one of its dealers (that all parties
cannot agree upon), the owner may
wish to use the services offered by the
Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration
Plan (CAMVAP).

CAMVAP uses the services of Provincial
Administrators to assist consumers in
scheduling and preparing for their
arbitration hearings. However, before
you can proceed with CAMVAP you
must follow your Mazda dispute
resolution process as outlined
previously.

CAMVAP is fully implemented in all
provinces and territories.
Consumers wishing to obtain further
information about the Program should
contact the Provincial Administrator at
1 (800) 207-0685, or by contacting
the Canadian Motor Vehicle
Arbitration Plan Office at:

Uniform Tire Quality
Grading System (UTQGS)
▼ Uniform Tire Quality Grading
System (UTQGS)
This information relates to the tire
grading system developed by the U.S.
National Highway
Tra ffi c Safety
Administration for grading tires by
tread wear, traction, and temperature
performance.
▼ Trea d Wea r
The tread wear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the
tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government
test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would
wear one-and-a-half times as well on
the government course as a tire graded
100.

The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm because of
variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
▼
Traction-AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. These
grades represent the tire's ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction performance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on braking (straight ahead)
traction tests and does not include
acceleration cornering (turning),
hydroplaning , or peak traction
characteristics.
▼Temperature-A, B, C
The temperature grades A (the
highest), B, and C, represent the tire's
resistance to the generation of heat
and its ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory test
wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause
the material of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive
temperatures can lead to sudden tire
failure.

Grade C corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger
vehicle tires must meet under the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent
higher levels of performance on the
laboratory test wheel than the
minimum required by law.

Tire Maintenance
▼Tire Maintenance
Improper or inadequate vehicle
maintenance can cause tires to wear
abnormally. Here are some important
maintenance points:
▼Tire
Inflation Pressure
Inspect all tire pressure monthly
(including the spare) when the tires are
cold. Maintain recommended
pressures for the best ride, top
handling, and minimum tire wear. Use
the pressures specified on the vehicle
tire information placard or tire label for
optimum service.
▼Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires
every 16,000 km (10,000 miles) at the
latest or sooner if irregular wear
develops. Mazda recommends to
rotate every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) to
help increase tire life and distribute
wear more evenly.
1. Forward
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tire in rotation.

Inspect the tires 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 on page 9-10 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 weakened if rotated from side
to side.
▼ Replacing a Tire
WARNING
Always use tires that are in good
condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking , steering , and
traction could result in an accident.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.
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.
