Before Driving
Driving Tips
 Winter  Driving
              Carry  emergency  gear,  including  tire 
chains, window scraper, fl ares, 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   6-25 .
  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   6-23 ).
  Inspect the ignition system for damage 
and loose connections.
   Use washer fl  uid made with antifreeze—
but do not use engine coolant antifreeze 
for washer fl   uid  (page   6-27 ).
    
   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.
   Drive slowly. Braking performance 
can be adversely affected if snow or 
ice adheres to the brake components. If 
this situation occurs, drive the vehicle 
slowly, releasing the accelerator pedal 
and lightly applying the brakes several 
times until the brake performance 
returns to normal.
     
         Snow  Tires
            Use  snow  tires  on  all  four  wheels
    Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75 mph) 
while driving with snow tires. In fl ate snow 
tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm 
2 , 4.3 psi) more 
than recommended on the tire pressure 
label (driver's door frame), but never 
more than the maximum cold-tire pressure 
shown on the tires.
  
  Except  Mexico
    The vehicle is originally equipped with 
all season radials designed to be used all 
year around. In some extreme climates you 
may fi  nd it necessary to replace them with 
snow tires during the winter months to 
further improve traction on snow and ice 
covered roads.
  Mexico
    The vehicle is originally equipped with 
summer tires designed for optimum 
traction on wet and dry roads. If your 
vehicle is to be used on snow and ice 
covered roads, Mazda recommends that 
you replace the tires originally equipped 
on your vehicle with snow tires during the 
winter months.
  WARNING 
  Use only the same size and type tires 
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all four 
wheels:   Using  tires  diff   erent in size or type is 
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling 
could be greatly aff   ected and result in 
an accident.
   
  CAUTION 
  Check local regulations before using 
studded tires.
