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
Authorised Mazda Repairer:
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:
If organic solvents are used for
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 dif ¿ cult to clean them later, and it may
affect the smooth retracting of the seat
belt.
Vinyl Upholstery Maintenance
Remove dust and dirt from the vinyl
upholstery using a brush or vacuum.
Remove soiling from vinyl upholstery
using a leather and vinyl upholstery
cleaner.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
*Some models.
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 colouring. 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 discolouration, 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.
Active Driving Display
Maintenance *
The combiner and mirror surface have
a special coating. When cleaning it, do
not use a hard cloth, a cloth with a rough
surface, or cleaning detergent. Use a ¿ ne-
textured, soft cloth.
If a chemical solvent gets on the combiner
or mirror surface, wipe it off immediately.
Otherwise, they could be damaged and the
surface coating could be scratched.

Tyre Pressure
Monitoring
System Warning
Light
* When the warning light illuminates, and
the warning beep sound is heard (about 3
seconds), tyre pressure is too low in one or
more tyres.
WARNING
If the tyre pressure monitoring system
warning light illuminates or À ashes,
or the tyre pressure warning beep
sound is heard, decrease vehicle
speed immediately and avoid sudden
manoeuvring and braking:
If the tyre pressure monitoring system
warning light illuminates or À ashes, or
the tyre pressure warning beep sound
is heard, it is dangerous to drive the
vehicle at high speeds, or perform
sudden manoeuvring or braking. Vehicle
drivability could worsen and result in an
accident.
To determine if you have a slow leak or
a À at, pull over to a safe position where
you can check the visual condition of the
tyre and determine if you have enough
air to proceed to a place where air may
be added and the system monitored again
by an expert repairer, we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer or a tyre
repair station.
Do not ignore the TPMS Warning Light:
Ignoring the TPMS warning light is
dangerous, even if you know why it is
illuminated. Have the problem taken
care of as soon as possible before it
develops into a more serious situation
that could lead to tyre failure and a
dangerous accident. Inspect the tyres and adjust to the speci ¿ ed
in À ation pressure (page 6-44 ).
NOTE
Perform tyre pressure adjustment when
the tyres are cold. Tyre pressure will
vary according to the tyre temperature,
therefore let the vehicle stand for
1 hour or only drive it 1.6 km (1 mile) or
less before adjusting the tyre pressures.
When pressure is adjusted on hot tyres
to the cold in À ation pressure, the TPMS
warning light/beep may turn on after
the tyres cool and pressure drops below
speci ¿ cation.
Also, an illuminated TPMS warning
light, resulting from the tyre air
pressure dropping due to cold ambient
temperature will remain illuminated
even if the ambient temperature rises.
In this case, it will also be necessary to
adjust the tyre air pressures. If the TPMS
warning light illuminates due to a drop in
tyre air pressure, make sure to check and
adjust the tyre air pressures.
Tyres lose air naturally over time and
the TPMS cannot tell if the tyres are
getting too soft over time or you have
a À at. However, when you ¿ nd one low
tyre in a set of four-that is an indication
of trouble; you should have someone
drive the vehicle slowly forward so you
can inspect any low tyre for cuts and any
metal objects sticking through tread or
sidewall. Put a few drops of water in the
valve stem to see if it bubbles indicating
a bad valve. Leaks need to be addressed
by more than simply rein À ating the
tyre as leaks are dangerous — take it to
an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
