The vehicle calculates the remaining oil life based on engine o perating conditions and lets you know when an
oil change is due by illuminating the wrench indicator light in the instrument cluster.
Replace the engine oil and filter when message/wrench indicator light is ON. And they must be changed at
least once a year or within 10,00 0 km since last engine oil and filter change.
The system must be reset whenever replacing the engine oil rega rdless of the message/wrench indicator light
display.

Owner Maintenance Precautions
Routine Service
We highly recommend that these items be inspected daily, or at least every week.
•Engine Oil Level (page 6-28)
•Engine Coolant Level (page 6-29)
•Brake and clutch Fluid Level (page 6-31)
•Washer Fluid Level (page 6-32)
•Battery Maintenance (page 6-39)
•Tyre Inflation Pressure (page 6-43)

Improper or incomplete service may result in problems. This sec tion gives instructions only
for items that are easy to perform.

As explained in the Introduction (page 6-2), several procedures can be done only by a
qualified service technician with special tools.

Improper do-it yourself maintena nce during the warranty period may affect warranty
coverage. For details, read the s eparate Mazda Warranty statement provided with the
vehicle. If you are unsure about any servicing or maintenance p rocedure, have it done by an
expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

There are strict environmental laws regarding the disposal of w aste oil and fluids. Please
dispose of your waste properly and with due regard to the envir onment.

We recommend that you entrust the oil and fluid changes of your vehicle to an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
WA R N I N G
Do not perform maintenance work if you lack sufficient knowledge and experience or the
proper tools and equipment to do the work. Have maintenance work done by a qualified
technician:
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle is dangerous if not done properly. You can be
seriously injured while performing some maintenance procedures.

MINOK
MAX
X Mark
NOTE
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
When inspecting the engine oil level,
pull out the dipstick straight without
twisting. In addition, when inserting
the dipstick, always insert it without
twisting so that the “X” mark faces the
front of the vehicle.
5. Pull it out again and examine the level.
The level is normal if it is between the
MIN and MAX marks.
If it is near or below MIN, add enough
oil to bring the level to MAX.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the engine oil. This may
cause engine damage.
6. Make sure the O-ring on the dipstick is positioned properly before reinserting
the dipstick.
7. Reinsert the dipstick fully.
Engine Coolant
▼ Inspecting Coolant Level
WA R N I N G
Do not use a match or live flame in the
engine compartment. DO NOT ADD
COOLANT WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT:
A hot engine is dangerous. If the engine has
been running, parts of the engine
compartment can become very hot. You
could be burned. Carefully inspect the
engine coolant in the coolant reservoir, but
do not open it.
Pull over to a safe location, then switch
the ignition off and make sure the fan is
not running before attempting to work
near the cooling fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is
running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the
engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
Do not remove either cooling
system cap when the engine and radiator
are hot:
When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot out
under pressure and cause serious injury.

NOTE
Changing the coolant should be done by
an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Inspect the antifreeze protection and
coolant level in the coolant reservoir at
least once a year―at the beginning of the
winter season―and before travelling
where temperatures may drop below
freezing.

Inspect the condition and connections of
all cooling system and heater hoses.
Replace any that are swollen or
deteriorated.

The coolant should be at full in the
radiator and between the F and L marks on
the coolant reservoir when the engine is
cool.
SKYACTIV-G 2.0 and SKYACTIV-G
2.5

SKYACTIV-D 2.2

If it is at or near L, add enough coolant to
the coolant reservoir to provide freezing
and corrosion protection and to bring the
level to F.
Securely tighten the c oolant reservoir tank
cap after adding coolant.
CAUTION
 Radiator coolant will damage paint.
Rinse it
off quickly if spilled.
 If the “FL22” mark is shown on or near
the cooling system cap, use of FL-22 is
recommended when replacing engine
coolant. Using engine coolant other than
FL-22 may cause serious damage to the
engine and cooling system.

If the coolant reserv oir is empty or new
coolant is required frequently, consult an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.

•(19-inch wheel vehicle)
If your aluminium wheels lose lustre,
apply wax which contains no polishing
powder.
▼Plastic Part Maintenance
•When cleaning the plastic lenses of the
lights, do not use petrol, paraffin,
rectified spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these chemical
agents can discolour or damage the
surfaces resulting in a significant loss in
functionality. If plastic parts become
inadvertently exposed to any of these
chemical agents, flush with water
immediately.
•If plastic parts s
uch as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or fluids such as petrol,
oil, engine coolant, or battery fluid, it
could cause discolouration, staining, or
paint peeling. Wipe off any such
chemical agents or fluids using a soft
cloth immediately.
•High water temperature and high water
pressure car washers are available
depending on the type of high pressure
car washer device. If the car washer
nozzle is put too close to the vehicle or
aimed at one area for an extended period
of time, it could defo rm plastic parts or
damage the paint.
•Do not use wax containing compounds
(polish). Otherwise, it could result in
paint damage.
•In addition, do not u se an electrical or
air tool to apply wax. Otherwise, the
frictional heat generated could result in
deformation of plastic parts or paint
damage.
Interior Care
WA R N I N G
Do not spray water into the vehicle cabin:
Spraying water into the vehicle cabin is
dangerous as electrical devices such as the
audio and switches could get wet resulting
in a malfunction or vehicle fire.
NOTE
•Do not wipe the interior using alcohol,
chlorine bleach, or organic solvents
such as thinner, benzene, and petrol.
Otherwise, it may cause discolouration
or stains.
•Rubbing hard with a stiff brush or cloth
may cause damage.
If the vehicle interior becomes soiled by
any of the following, wipe it off
immediately using a soft cloth.
Leaving it uncleaned could cause
discolouration, stains, cracks, or peeling of
the coating, and it will make it hard to
wipe off later.
•Beverage or fragrance
•Grease or oil

Overheating
If the temperature gauge indicates
overheating or the high engine coolant
temperature warning light turns on, the
vehicle loses power, or you hear a loud
knocking or pinging noise, the engine is
probably too hot.
WA R N I N G
Pull over to a safe location, then switch
the ignition off and make sure the fan is
not running before attempting to work
near the cooling fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is
running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the
engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
Do not remove either cooling
system cap when the engine and radiator
are hot:
When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot out
under pressure and cause serious injury.
Open the bonnet ONLY after steam is no
longer escaping from the engine:
Steam from an overheated engine is
dangerous. The escaping steam could
seriously burn you.
If the temperature gauge indicates
overheating or the high engine coolant
temperature warning light turns on:

1. Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic transaxle in park (P), a manual
transaxle in neutral.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Turn off the air conditioner.
5. Check whether coolant or steam is escaping from the engine
compartment.

If steam is coming from the engine
compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle.
Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then
open the bonnet and start the engine.

If neither coolant nor steam is
escaping:
Open the bonnet and idle the engine
until it cools.
CAUTION
If the cooling fan does not operate
while the engine is running, the engine
temperature will increase. Stop the
engine and call an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
6. Make sure the cooling fan is operating, then turn off the engine after the
temperature has decreased.
