Add-On Non-Genuine Parts and Accessories
Please note that technical alterations to the original state of your Mazda vehicle can affect
the safety of the vehicle. Such technical alterations include not only the use of unsuitable
spare parts, but also accessories, fi ttings or attachments, including rims and tyres.
Genuine Mazda Parts and Genuine Mazda Accessories have been specifi cally designed for
Mazda vehicles.
Other parts and accessories than those mentioned above have not been examined and
approved by Mazda unless explicitly stated by Mazda. We cannot certify the suitability of
such products. Mazda is not liable for any damage caused by the use of such products.
WARNING
Be very careful in choosing and installing add-on electrical equipment, such as mobile
telephones, two-way radios, stereo systems, and car alarm systems:
Incorrectly choosing or installing improper add-on equipment or choosing an improper
installer is dangerous. Essential systems could be damaged, causing engine stalling,
air-bag (SRS) activation, ABS/TCS/DSC inactivation, or a fi re in the vehicle.
Mazda assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the
installation of add-on non-genuine parts or accessories.

Cell Phones
Cell Phones Warning
WARNING
Please comply with the legal regulations concerning the use of communication
equipment in vehicles in your country:
Use of any electrical devices such as cell phones, computers, portable radios, vehicle
navigation or other devices by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous.
Dialing a number on a cell phone while driving also ties-up the driver's hands. Use of
these devices will cause the driver to be distracted and could lead to a serious accident.
If a passenger is unable to use the device, pull off the right-of-way to a safe area before
use. If use of a cell phone is necessary despite this warning, use a hands-free system
to at least leave the hands free to drive the vehicle. Never use a cell phone or other
electrical devices while the vehicle is moving and, instead, concentrate on the full-time
job of driving.
