WARNING
!
Cooling System Caps:When the engine and radiator are
hot, scalding coolant and steam
may shoot out under pressure and
cause serious injury. Don’t
remove either cooling system cap
when the engine and radiator are
hot.
CAUTION
!
If the engine continues to overheat
or frequently overheats, have the
cooling system inspected. The
engine could be seriously damaged
unless repairs are made.

Emergency Starting 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.
CAUTION
!
Use only a 12-volt booster system.
You can damage a 12-volt starter
motor, ignition system, and other
electrical parts beyond repair with
a 24-volt power supply (two
12-volt batteries in series or a
24-volt motor generator set).
WARNING
!
Battery-Related Explosion: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.
Keep all flames, including
cigarettes, and sparks away from
open battery cells.

Towing
Wheel dollies
J94S6005We recommend that towing be done
only by an Authorized Mazda Dealer
or a commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing are
necessary to prevent damage to the
vehicle. State and local laws must be
followed.A towed vehicle usually should have
its front wheels off the ground. If
excessive damage or other conditions
prevent this, use wheel dollies.
When towing with the rear wheels on
the ground, release the parking brake.
075-2AE
J94S6001
CAUTION
!
Don’
t tow the vehicle backward
with driving wheels on the ground.
This may cause internal damage to
the transaxle.

If you’re unsure of how tight the
nuts should be, have them
inspected at a service station. The
specified torque is 90 to 120 N·m
(9.0 to 12.0 kgf·m, 65 to 87
ft·lbf).
WARNING
!
Loose Lug Nuts:Improperly or loosely tightened
lug nuts are dangerous. The
wheel could wobble or come off.
This could result in loss of vehicle
control and cause a serious
accident. Always securely and
correctly tighten the lug nuts.
WARNING
!
Metric Studs and Lug Nuts:Because the wheel studs and lug
nuts on your Mazda have metric
threads, using a nonmetric nut
would be dangerous. On a metric
stud, it would not secure the
wheel and would damage the
stud, which could cause the wheel
to slip off and cause an accident.
Be sure to reinstall the same nuts
you removed or replace them with
metric nuts of the same
configuration.
WARNING
!
Incorrect Tire Air Pressure:Driving on tires with incorrect air
pressure is dangerous. Tires with
incorrect pressure could affect
handling and result in an
accident. Don’t drive with any
tires that have incorrect air
pressure. When you check the
regular tire’ s air pressure, check
the spare tire, too.

MaintenanceBecause your Mazda is a large piece of intricate machinery, it needs regular care in the form of maintenance
and servicing. Many owners prefer to do much of this work themselves.
So Section 8 has been prepared as a guide for the operator who wants to self-service such minor jobs\
as
changing the engine oil, replacing bulbs and wiper blades, charging the battery, and rotating the tires. All
maintenance schedules are included, along with instructions on how to make regular inspections of such things
as fluid levels.Introduction 8- 2

IntroductionBe extremely careful to prevent injury
to yourself and others and damage to
your vehicle when using this manual
for inspection and maintenance.
If you’re unsure about any procedure
it describes, we strongly urge you to
have a reliable and qualified service
shop perform the work, preferably an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Factory-trained Mazda technicians and
genuine Mazda parts are best for your
vehicle. Without this expertise and the
parts that have been designed and
made especially for your Mazda,
inadequate, incomplete, and
insufficient servicing may result in
problems. This could lead to vehicledamage or an accident and injuries.
For expert advice and quality service,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
The owner should retain evidence that
proper maintenance has been
performed as prescribed.
A claim against a warranty will not
qualify if it results from lack of
maintenance and not from defective
material or authorized Mazda
workmanship.
Any auto repair shop using parts
equivalent to your Mazda’s original
equipment may perform maintenance.
But we recommend that it always be
done by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer using genuine Mazda parts.
