WARNING
Never touch the glass portion of a
halogen bulb with your bare hands
and always wear eye protection when
handling or working around the bulbs:
When a halogen bulb breaks, it is
dangerous. These bulbs contain
pressurised gas. If one is broken, it will
explode and serious injuries could be
caused by the À ying glass.
If the glass portion is touched with bare
hands, body oil could cause the bulb to
overheat and explode when lit.

Always keep halogen bulbs out of the
reach of children:
Playing with a halogen bulb is
dangerous. Serious injuries could be
caused by dropping a halogen bulb or
breaking it some other way.
CAUTION
When removing the lens or lamp unit
using a À athead screwdriver, make
sure that the À athead screwdriver does
not contact the interior terminal. If
the À athead screwdriver contacts the
terminal, a short circuit may occur.
NOTE
  To replace the bulb, contact an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
  If the halogen bulb is accidentally
touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used.
  Use the protective cover and carton
for the replacement bulb to dispose
of the old bulb promptly and out of
the reach of children.

Undercoating
This special coating is applied to the
critical parts of the underside to protect
vehicles from damage caused by
chemicals or stones. This coating is liable
to be damaged with time. Check this
coating periodically.

Should repairs be necessary, consult
an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer. They are well
informed on how repairs should be made.
Aluminium Wheel Maintenance *
A protective coating is provided over the
aluminium wheels. Special care is needed
to protect this coating.
CAUTION
Do not use any detergent other than mild
detergent. Before using any detergent,
verify the ingredients. Otherwise, the
product could discolour or stain the
aluminium wheels.
NOTE
  Do not use a wire brush or any
abrasive cleaner, polishing
compound, or solvent on aluminium
wheels. They may damage the
coating.
  Always use a sponge or soft cloth to
clean the wheels.
 Rinse the wheels thoroughly with
lukewarm or cold water. Also, be
sure to clean the wheels after driving
on dusty or salted roads to help
prevent corrosion.

Maintenance
 




 Always keep the jack clean.



 Make sure the moving parts are kept
free from dirt or rust.
 


 Make sure the screw thread is
adequately lubricated.

Spare Tyre *
Your Mazda has a temporary spare tyre.
The temporary spare tyre is lighter and
smaller than a conventional tyre, and is
designed only for emergency use and
should be used only for VERY short
periods. Temporary spare tyres should
NEVER be used for long drives or
extended periods.
WARNING
Do not install the temporary spare tyre
on the front wheels (driving wheels):
Driving with the temporary spare tyre
on one of the front driving wheels is
dangerous. Handling will be affected.
You could lose control of the vehicle,
especially on ice or snow bound roads,
and have an accident. Move a regular
tyre to the front wheel and install the
temporary spare tyre to the rear.
CAUTION
  When using the temporary spare
tyre, driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tyre. Drive carefully.
  To avoid damage to the temporary
spare tyre or to the vehicle, observe
the following precautions:
 


 Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).



 Avoid driving over obstacles. Also,
do not drive through an automatic
car wash. This tyre's diameter is
smaller than a conventional tyre,
so the ground clearance is reduced.
 


 Do not use a tyre chain on this tyre
because it will not ¿ t properly.




 Do not use your temporary spare
tyre on any other vehicle, it has
been designed only for your
Mazda.
 


 Use only one temporary spare tyre
on your vehicle at the same time.
