*3 Flexible setting is factory preset for some countries in Europ e. Consult an Authorised Mazda Repairer for
details. Flexible setting can be s et if the vehicle is operated mainly where none of the following conditions
apply.
a) Purpose of vehicle use is poli ce car, taxi or driving school car.
b) Driving in dusty conditions

Once the flexible maintenance is selected, the vehicle calculat es the remaining oil life based on engine
operating conditions and lets you know when an oil change is du e by illuminating the wrench indicator light in
the instrument cluster.
Reset the engine oil data wheneve r replacing the engine oil regardless 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.

(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
SKYACTIV-D 2.2 uses specified oil. Please confirm the specification in owner's manual. If
engine oil other than the specified oil is used, the Diesel Particulate Filter
effective period of
use will be shortened or the Diesel Particulate Filter may be damaged.
NOTE
(SKYACTIV-G 2.0 and SKYACTIV-G 2.5)
•It is normal for all engines to consume engine oil under normal driving conditions.
Engine oil consumption may be as high as 0.8 L/1,000 km (1 L/800 miles). This may be as
a result of evaporation, internal ventilation or burning of the lubricating oil in the
working engine. Oil consumption may be high er when the engine is new due to the
running-in process. Oil consumption is also dependant on engine speed and engine load.
Under extreme driving conditions, oil consumption may be higher.
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
•Whenever the engine oil is replaced, the vehicles engine control unit needs to be reset as
soon as possible. Otherwise the wrench indi cator light or engine oil warning light may
turn on. To reset the engine control unit, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer or refer to the vehicle engine control unit reset procedure on
page 6-27.
•Inspect the engine oil level periodically. When inspecting the engine oil, if the engine oil
level is exceeds the “X” mark on the dipstick, replace the engine oil. This should be done
by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer. When replacing the
engine oil, inspect the oil level using the oil dipstick and refill so that the engine oil level
is within the range between MIN and MAX as shown in the figure.

▼ Vehicle Engine Control Unit Reset Procedure
NOTE
This procedure is intended for vehicles
with SKYACTIV-D 2.2 and vehicles with
SKYACTIV-G 2.0 or SKYACTIV-G 2.5 which the engine oil flexible maintenance setting is
selected.
After replacing the engine oil, have a repair shop such as an A uthorised Mazda Repairer
perform the initialization (engine oil data resetting) of the r ecorded value. If the value
recorded by the computer is not initialized, the wrench indicat or light may not turn off or it
may turn on earlie r than normal.

NOTE
The initialization (engine oil data resetting) of the recorded value can be performed using
the following procedure:
1. Switch the ignition OFF.
2. Switch the ignition ON with the instrument panel illumination knob pressed, and press and hold the instrument panel illumination knob for about 5 seconds until the master
warning light
flashes.

3. After the master warning light flashes for several seconds, the initialization is
completed.
▼ Inspecting Engine Oil Level
1. Be sure the vehicle is on a level
surface.
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
3. Turn it off and wait at least 5 minutes for the oil to return to the sump.
4. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and
reinsert it fully.

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.

Window and HeadlightWasher Fluid
▼Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WA R N I N G
Use only windscreen washer fluid or plain
water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fluid is
dangerous. If sprayed on the windscreen, it
will dirty the windscreen, affect your
visibility, and could result in an accident.
Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir; add fluid if necessary.

L F
The top of the float should be between F
and L.

Use plain water if washer fluid is
unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold weather
to prevent it from freezing.
NOTE
Front and rear washer fluid is supplied
from the same reservoir.
Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and bonnet hinges and locks, should
be lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.

Make sure the bonnet's secondary latch
keeps the bonnet from opening when the
primary latch is released.
