Rocking the Vehicle
▼Rocking the Vehicle
WARNING
Do not spin the wheels at more than
56 km/h (35 mph), and do not allow
anyone to stand behind a wheel when
pushing the vehicle:
When the vehicle is stuck, spinning the
wheels at high speed is dangerous. The
spinning tire could overheat and
explode. This could cause serious
injuries.
CAUTION
Too much rocking may cause
transmission failure, and tire damage.
If you must rock the vehicle to free it
from snow, sand or mud, depress the
accelerator slightly and slowly move
the shift lever/selector lever from 1 (D)
to R position.
Winter Driving
▼ Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper,
flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
check the following:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on page
6-19.
Inspect the battery and its cables.
Cold reduces battery capacity.
Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that
the vehicle will be driven in (page
6-17).
Inspect the ignition system for
damage and loose connections.
Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze ―but do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid
(page 6-21).
NOTE
Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windshield is dangerous
as it could obstruct vision.
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice
or frozen snow on the mirror glass
and windshield.
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.

Windshield Wipers and
Washer
▼Windshield Wipers and Washer
The ignition must be switched ON to
use the wipers.
WARNING
Use only windshield washer
fluid or
plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield,
affect your visibility, and could result in
an accident.
Only use windshield washer fluid
mixed with anti-freeze protection in
freezing weather conditions:
Using windshield washer fluid without
anti-freeze protection in freezing
weather conditions is dangerous as it
could freeze on the windshield and
block your vision which could cause an
accident. In addition, make sure the
windshield is sufficiently warmed using
the defroster before spraying the
washer fluid.
CAUTION
 When the wipers are not used during
freezing temperatures or for a long
time, the wiper rubber may adhere
to the glass. If the wipers are
operated while adhered to the glass,
it could damage the wiper rubber
and motor.
 If the wipers are operated while the
glass is dry, the glass could be
scratched and the wiper rubber
damaged. When the glass is dry,
spray washer
fluid before operating
the wipers.

Operating Tips
▼Operating Tips
Operate the climate control system
with the engine running.
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan
control switch on for a long period of
time with the ignition switched ON
when the engine is not running.
Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the
air inlet in the cowl grille to improve
the system efficiency.
Use the climate control system to
defog the windows and dehumidify
the air.
The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or
while in a
traffic jam, or when you
would like to shut off outside air for
quick cooling of the interior.
Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.
If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows to let warm air
escape, then run the climate control
system.
Run the air conditioner about 10
minutes at least once a month to
keep internal parts lubricated.
Have the air conditioner checked
before the weather gets hot. Lack of
refrigerant may make the air
conditioner less efficient.
The refrigerant specifications are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. If
the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious
malfunction of the air conditioner.
Consult a professional, government certified repairer for the inspection
or repair because a special device is
required for the air conditioner
maintenance.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
