Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
Maintaining the Finish
W a s h i n g
CAUTION
¾ When the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
¾ If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched or wiped with a
cloth.
¾ If the windshield is struck with a hand
or other object from either outside or
inside the vehicle.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windshield when the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is
switched ON as fi ngers could be pinched
or the wipers and wiper blades damaged
when the wipers activate automatically.
If you are going to clean the windshield,
be sure the wipers are turned off
completely (when it is most likely
that the engine is left running) this is
particularly important when clearing ice
and snow.
¾ Do not spray water in the engine
compartment. Otherwise, it could result
in engine-starting problems or damage
to electrical parts.
¾ When washing and waxing the vehicle,
be careful not to apply excessive force
to any single area of the vehicle hood.
Otherwise, you could dent the vehicle.
¾ Do not use automatic car washing
machines and car washing devices using
high water pressure.
¾ Make sure that the fuel lid is closed
and lock the doors. Otherwise, the fuel
lid may be forcefully opened by water
pressure causing damage to the vehicle
or fuel lid.
To help protect the ¿ nish from rust
and deterioration, wash your Mazda
thoroughly and frequently, at least once a
month, with lukewarm or cold water.
If the vehicle is washed improperly, the
paint surface could be scratched. Here are
some examples of how scratching could
occur.
Scratches occur on the paint surface when:
y The vehicle is washed without ¿ rst
rinsing off dirt and other foreign matter.
y The vehicle is washed with a rough, dry,
or dirty cloth.
y The vehicle is washed at a car wash that
uses brushes that are dirty or too stiff.
y Cleansers or wax containing abrasives
are used.
N O T E
y Mazda is not responsible for scratches
caused by automatic car washes or
improper washing.
y Scratches are more noticeable on
vehicles with darker paint ¿ nishes.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
¾ Do not get any car wax on the
convertible top.
If you do, remove it with a good leather
cleaner or mild detergent (about 5%
solution).
¾ Too much treatment on the convertible
top can be as damaging as too little.
Follow the manufacturer's directions.
Do not overdo it!
¾ Let the convertible top dry completely
before lowering after applying treatment
or dressing.
Drain ¿ lter cleaning procedure
Drain filter
N O T E
If leaves or other matter block the drain
¿ lter, water may enter the vehicle.
Clean the drain ¿ lter at least once a year.
1. Check the position of the drain ¿ lter
with your hand from behind the bow.
Drain filter Bow
2. Remove the drain ¿ lter while pressing
the tab.
3. Remove leaves and other matter
accumulated in the drain ¿ lter.
4. Reinstall the drain ¿ lter in the reverse
order of the removal procedure.
CAUTION
When installing the drain fi lter, make
sure that the drain fi lter is securely
attached to its designated position by
pushing it until the tab locks. Water
may enter the vehicle if the drain
fi lter is not secured to its designated
position.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
Convertible Top (Retractable
Fastback) Maintenance
W a s h i n g
To help protect the retractable fastback's
¿ nish, use a soft cloth or sponge to wash
it.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial fallout, and similar deposits can
damage the ¿ nish if they are not removed
immediately. When prompt washing with
plain water is ineffective use a mild soap
made for use on vehicles.
CAUTION
¾ Do not use an automatic car wash.
¾ Do not spray water directly on the
area where the window glass and the
retractable fastback meet. This would
probably cause water to enter the cabin.
¾ Do not use strong soap, chemical
detergents, or hot water, and do not
wash the retractable fastback in direct
sunlight or when the surface is warm.
Thoroughly rinse with lukewarm or cold
water. Do not allow soap to dry on the
¿ nish.
Waxing
Wax the retractable fastback when water
no longer beads on the paint. Always wash
and dry it before waxing.
CAUTION
¾ Wiping off dust or dirt with a dry cloth
will scratch the fi nish.
¾ Do not use abrasive wax. This may
damage the protective coating and
discolor or deteriorate the paint.
N O T E
A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and
similar materials will usually also take off
the wax. Rewax these areas.
Drainage outlet cleaning procedure
There are drainage outlets on the left and
right of the lower side of the rear window.
Rear roofDrainage
outlet
Rear window
N O T E
If leaves or other foreign matter block
the drainage outlets, water may enter the
cabin. Clean the drainage outlets at least
once a year.
