   7.   California Civil Code Section 1793.2 (d) requires that, if Mazda or its representative 
is unable to repair a new motor vehicle to conform to the vehicle's applicable express 
warranty after a reasonable number of attempts, Mazda may be required to replace or 
repurchase the vehicle. California Civil Code Section 1793.22 (b) creates a presumption 
that Mazda has had a reasonable number of attempts to conform the vehicle to its 
applicable express warranties if, within 18 months from delivery to the buyer or 18,000 
miles on the vehicle's odometer, whichever occurs fi rst, one or more of the following 
occurs:
   
 The same nonconformity [a failure to conform to the written warranty that substantially 
impairs the use, value or safety of the vehicle] results in a condition that is likely to 
cause death or serious bodily injury if the vehicle is driven  AND  the nonconformity 
has been subject to repair two or more times by Mazda or its agents  AND  the buyer or 
lessee has directly notifi ed Mazda of the need for the repair of the nonconformity; OR
 The same nonconformity has been subject to repair 4 or more times by Mazda 
or its agents  AND  the buyer has notifi ed Mazda of the need for the repair of the 
nonconformity; OR
 
 The vehicle is out of service by reason of repair of nonconformities by Mazda or its 
agents for a cumulative total of more than 30 calendar days after delivery of the vehicle 
to the buyer.

       Satisfaction Review Process
    Your complete and permanent satisfaction is of primary concern to Mazda. All Authorized 
Mazda Dealers have both the knowledge and tools to keep your Mazda in top condition. 
In our experience, any questions, problems, or complaints regarding the operation of your 
Mazda or any other general service transactions are most effectively resolved by your dealer. 
If the cause of your dissatisfaction cannot adequately be addressed by normal dealership 
procedures, we recommend that you take the following steps:
          STEP 1: Contact the Mazda Dealer
    Discuss the matter with a member of dealership management. If the Service Manager has 
already reviewed your concerns, contact the owner of the dealership or its General Manager.
          STEP 2: Contact the Mazda Regional Offi ce
    If you feel that you still require assistance, ask the dealer Service Manager to arrange for 
you to meet the local Mazda Service Representative. If more expedient, contact Mazda 
Canada Inc. Regional Offi ce nearest you for such arrangements. Regional Offi ce address 
and phone numbers are shown (page  8-8 ).
          STEP 3: Contact the Mazda Customer Relations Department
    If  still  not  substantially  satisfi ed, contact the Customer Relations Department, Mazda 
Canada Inc., 55 Vogell Road, Richmond Hill, Ontario, L4B 3K5 Canada TEL: 1 (800) 263-
4680.

   1.   Your name, address and telephone number
   2.   Year  and  model  of  vehicle

   5.   Present  odometer  reading
   6.   Your  dealer's  name  and  location
   7.   The nature of your problem and/or cause of dissatisfaction
    
  
  The Department, in cooperation with the local Mazda Service Representative, will review 
the case to determine if everything possible has been done to ensure your satisfaction.
  
  Please recognize that the resolution of service problems in most cases requires the use of 
your Mazda dealer's service facilities, personnel and equipment. We urge you to follow the 
above three steps in sequence for most effective results.

          Mediation/Arbitration  Program
    Occasionally a customer concern cannot be resolved through Mazda's Customer Satisfaction 
Program. If after exhausting the procedures in this manual your concern is still not resolved, 
you have another option.
  
  Mazda Canada Inc. participates in an arbitration program administered by the Canadian 
Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP). CAMVAP will advise you about how your 
concern may be reviewed and resolved by an independent third party through binding 
arbitration.
  
  Your complete satisfaction is the goal of Mazda Canada Inc. and our dealers.
  Mazda's participation in CAMVAP makes a valuable contribution to our achieving that goal. 
There is no charge for using CAMVAP. CAMVAP results are fast, fair and fi nal as the award 
is binding on both you and Mazda Canada Inc.
          Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP)
    If  a  specifi c item of concern arises, where a solution cannot be reached between an owner, 
Mazda, and/or one of its dealers (that all parties cannot agree upon), the owner may wish to 
use the services offered by the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP).
  
  CAMVAP uses the services of Provincial Administrators to assist consumers in scheduling 
and preparing for their arbitration hearings. However, before you can proceed with 
CAMVAP you must follow your Mazda dispute resolution process as outlined previously.
  
  CAMVAP is fully implemented in all provinces and territories.
  Consumers wishing to obtain further information about the Program should contact the 
Provincial Administrator at 1 (800) 207-0685, or by contacting the Canadian Motor Vehicle 
Arbitration Plan Offi ce at:
