CAUTION
  To prevent accessory socket damage
or electrical failure, pay attention to
the following:
 


 Do not use accessories that require
more than 120 W (DC 12 V, 10 A).
 


 Do not use accessories that are not
genuine Mazda accessories or the

with no lid:
Putting articles in storage spaces with
no lid is dangerous as they could be
thrown around the cabin if the vehicle
is suddenly accelerated and cause
injury depending on how the article is
stored.

NOTE
(SKYACTIV-G 1.3 and SKYACTIV-G 1.5) 

 It is normal for all engines to consume engine oil under normal driving conditions.  Engine oil consumption may be as high as 0.8 L/1,000 km (1 L/800 miles). This may
be as a result of evaporation, internal ventilation or burning of the lubricating oil in
the working engine. Oil consumption may be higher when the engine is new due to
the running-in process. Oil consumption is also dependant on engine speed and engine
load. Under extreme driving conditions, oil consumption may be higher.

(SKYACTIV-D 1.5) 

 Whenever the engine oil is replaced, the vehicles engine control unit needs to be
reset as soon as possible. Otherwise the wrench indicator light or engine oil warning
light may turn on. To reset the engine control unit, consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer or refer to the vehicle engine control unit
reset procedure on page 6-27 .
 Inspect the engine oil level periodically. When inspecting the engine oil, if the engine
oil level is exceeds the “X” mark on the dipstick, replace the engine oil. This should
be done by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer. When
replacing the engine oil, inspect the oil level using the oil dipstick and re¿ ll so that the
engine oil level is within the range between MIN and MAX as shown in the ¿ gure.

Vehicle Engine Control Unit Reset Procedure
NOTE
This procedure is intended for vehicles with SKYACTIV-D 1.5 and vehicles with
SKYACTIV-G 1.3 or SKYACTIV-G 1.5 which the engine oil À exible maintenance setting
is selected.
After replacing the engine oil, have a repair shop such as an Authorised Mazda Repairer
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.
NOTE
The initialization (engine oil data resetting) of the recorded value can be performed using
the following procedure:

1. Switch the ignition OFF.
2. Switch the ignition ON with the selector pressed, and press and hold the selector for
about 5 seconds until the master warning light
À ashes.

Washer Fluid
Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WARNING
Use only windscreen washer À uid or
plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
À uid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windscreen, it will dirty the windscreen,
affect your visibility, and could result in
an accident.
Inspect À uid level in the washer À uid
reservoir; add À uid if necessary.


E

Use plain water if washer À uid is
unavailable.
But use only washer À uid in cold weather
to prevent it from freezing.
NOTE
Front and rear washer À uid is supplied
from the same reservoir.

*Some models.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tyres and radial
tyres that have an asymmetrical tread
pattern or studs only from front to rear,
not from side to side. Tyre performance
will be reduced if rotated from side to
side.
Replacing a Tyre
WARNING
Always use tyres that are in good
condition:
Driving with worn tyres is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and traction
could result in an accident.

Replace all four tyres at the same time:
Replacing just one tyre is dangerous.
It could cause poor handling and poor
braking resulting in loss of vehicle
control. Mazda strongly recommends
that you replace all four tyres at the
same time. If a tyre wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.
Replace the tyre when this happens.

New treadTread wear indicator
Worn tread

You should replace the tyre before the
band crosses the entire tread.
(With tyre pressure monitoring system)
After adjusting the tyre pressure,
initialization of the tyre pressure
monitoring system is necessary to make
the system operate normally.
Refer to Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization on page 4-192 .
Temporary Spare Tyre *
Inspect the temporary spare tyre at least
monthly to make sure it is properly
inÀ ated and stored.
NOTE
The temporary spare tyre condition
gradually deteriorates even if it has not
been used.
The temporary spare tyre is easier to
handle because of its construction which
is lighter and smaller than a conventional
tyre. This tyre should be used only for an
emergency and only for a short distance.
