Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
CAUTION
  Be careful not to allow the rubber
ring shown in the fi gure to be
scratched or damaged.
  If the rubber ring detaches, reattach it
before inserting a new battery.
Rubber ring
Ty r e s
For reasons of proper performance, safety,
and better fuel economy, always maintain
recommended tyre infl ation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits
and weight distribution.
WARNING
Using Different Tyre Types:
Driving your vehicle with different
types of tyres is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor braking;
leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the
temporary spare tyre, use only the same
type tyres (radial, bias-belted, bias-type)
on all four wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tyres:
Using any other tyre size than what is
specifi ed for the vehicle (page 9-13 )
is dangerous. It could seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clearance,
tyre clearance, and speedometer
calibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Use only tyres that
are the correct size specifi ed for the
vehicle.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
CAUTION
Use only recommended cleaners
and procedures. Others may affect
appearance and fi re-resistance.
Panel
When the interior panels need to be
cleaned, use soft material such as a soft
cloth soaked in clean water and wrung
out well and lightly wipe off dirt from
the surface. If a panel requires further
cleaning, use the following procedure.
1. Wipe dirt off using a soft cloth soaked
in mild detergent (about 5% solution).
2. Wipe off any remaining detergent
using a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.
NOTE
  Do not wipe leather parts using
alcohol, chlorine bleach, or organic
solvents such as thinner, benzene,
or petrol. Otherwise, it may cause
discolouration or stains.
  Scratches or nicks on the panels and
metallic trim resulting from the use
of a hard brush or cloth may not be
repairable.
  Be particularly careful when cleaning
high lustre panels and metallic trim
as they can be easily scratched.
Maintenance of the Active Driving
Display
The combiner and mirror surface have a
special coating. When cleaning, do not use
a hard or rough-surface cloth, or cleaning
detergent. In addition, if a chemical
solvent gets on the active driving display,
wipe it off immediately. Otherwise, the
combiner and mirror could be damaged
and the surface coating could be scratched.
Use a fi ne, soft cloth such as those used
for cleaning eyeglasses.
Cleaning the Lap/Shoulder Belt
Webbing
Clean the webbing with a mild soap
solution recommended for upholstery or
carpets. Follow instructions. Do not bleach
or dye the webbing; this may weaken it.
After cleaning the belts, thoroughly dry
the belt webbing and make sure there is no
remaining moisture before retracting them.
WARNING
Have an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer replace damaged seat belts
immediately:
Using damaged seat belts is dangerous.
In a collision, damaged belts cannot
provide adequate protection.

If Trouble Arises
Battery Runs Out
Jump-Starting
Jump-starting is dangerous if done incorrectly. So follow the procedure carefully. If you
feel unsure about jump-starting, we strongly recommend that you have a competent service
technician do the work.
WARNING
Follow These Precautions Carefully:
To ensure safe and correct handling of the battery, read the following precautions
carefully before using the battery or inspecting it.
Do not allow the positive ( ) terminal to contact any other metal object that
could cause sparks:
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced
during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An
exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries. When working near a battery,
do not allow metal tools to contact the positive (
) or negative () terminal of the
battery.
Keep all fl ames, including cigarettes, and sparks away from open battery cells:
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced
during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An
exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries.
Do not jump-start a frozen battery or one with a low fl uid level:
Jump-starting a frozen battery or one with a low fl uid level is dangerous. It may rupture
or explode, causing serious injury.
Connect the negative lead to a good ground point away from the battery:
Connecting the end of the second jumper lead to the negative (
) terminal of the
discharged battery is dangerous.
A spark could cause the gas around the battery to explode and injure someone.
Route the jumper leads away from parts that will be moving:
Connecting a jumper lead near or to moving parts (cooling fans, belts) is dangerous.
The lead could get caught when the engine starts and cause serious injury.

Seat belt reminder
Front seat
If the vehicle is driven with the driver or front passenger's seat belt unfastened, the seat belt
warning light illuminates and a warning beep sounds.
If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened (only when the front passenger seat
is occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the
warning light will fl ash and a beep sound will be heard. After a short time, the warning
light stops fl ashing, but remains illuminated, and the beep sound stops. If a seat belt
remains unfastened, the warning light fl ashes and the beep sound activates again for a
given period of time.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given period of time has elapsed, the beep sound will not
stop even if the vehicle speed falls below 20 km/h (12 mph).
NOTE
If a driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened after the beep sound turns off
(warning light remains illuminated), and the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph),
the warning light fl ashes and beep sound activates again.
Placing heavy items on the front passenger seat may cause the front passenger seat
belt warning function to operate depending on the weight of the item.
To allow the front passenger seat weight sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.
When a small child sits on the front passenger seat, it is possible that the warning light
will not operate.
Rear seat
If the rear seat belts are not fastened while the ignition is switched ON, the driver and the
passenger will be informed by the warning lights.
The warning lights illuminate in two colours. When the seat belt is not fastened, the
warning light illumination is red. When the seat belt is fastened, the illumination is green.
The warning lights operate even when there is no passenger on the rear seat. The warning
beep only sounds if a seat belt is unfastened after being fastened.
NOTE
If the rear seat belts are not fastened in a specifi ed period of time after the engine has
been started, all the warning lights turn off.
