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.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
  Under the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect
vehicles ahead or obstructions correctly and each system may not operate normally.
  The rear surface of a vehicle ahead does not re fl ect radio waves effectively, such as
an unloaded trailer or an automobile with a loading platform covered by a soft top,
vehicles with a hard plastic tailgate, and round-shaped vehicles.
   Vehicles ahead with low vehicle height and thus less area for re fl ecting radio waves.   Visibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead casting off water, snow, or sand from its
tires and onto your windshield.
  The luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger seats are
occupied.
  Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front surface of the front emblem.  During inclement weather such as rain, snow, or sand storms.  When driving near facilities or objects emitting strong radio waves.   Under the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect
vehicles ahead or obstructions.
  The beginning and end of a curve.  Roads with continuous curves.  Narrow lane roads due to road construction or lane closures.  The vehicle ahead enters the radar sensor's blind spot.  The vehicle ahead is running abnormally due to accident or vehicle damag\
e.  Roads with repeated up and down slopes  Driving on poor roads or unpaved roads.  The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely short.  A vehicle suddenly comes close such as by cutting into the lane.   To prevent incorrect operation of the system, use tires of the same speci fi ed size,
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern on all four wheels. In addition, do not use tires
with signifi cantly different wear patterns or tire pressures on the same vehicle (Including
the temporary spare tire).
   If the battery power is weak, the system may not operate correctly.  When driving on roads with little traf fi c and few vehicles ahead or obstructions for
the radar sensor (front) to detect, “Front Radar Sensor Blocked” may be temporarily
displayed, however, this does not indicate a problem.

Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
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 oil pan.
4. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert it fully.


MAXOK
MIN

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 overfi ll 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
WARNING
Do not use a match or live fl ame 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 indefi nitely 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 Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
Plastic Part Maintenance
  When cleaning the plastic lenses of the
lights, do not use gasoline, kerosene,
recti fi ed spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these chemical
agents can discolor or damage the
surfaces resulting in a signi fi cant loss
in functionality. If plastic parts become
inadvertently exposed to any of these
chemical agents, fl ush with water
immediately.
   If plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or fl uids such as
gasoline, oil, engine coolant, or battery
fl uid, it could cause discoloration,
staining, or paint peeling. Wipe off any
such chemical agents or fl uids 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 deform plastic parts or
damage the paint.
   Do not use wax containing compounds
(polish). Otherwise, it could result in
paint damage.
   In addition, do not use 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
WARNING
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
fi r e .

NOTE
  Do not wipe the interior using alcohol,
chlorine bleach, or organic solvents
such as thinner, benzene, and gasoline.
Otherwise, it may cause discoloration
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
discoloration, stains, cracks, or peeling
of the coating, and it will make it hard to
wipe off later.
  Beverage or fragrance  Grease or oil  Soiling
