Do not spray water in the engine
compartment. Otherwise, it could result
in engine-starting problems or damage
to electrical parts.
 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.
 Do not use automatic car washing
machines and car washing devices using
high water pressure.
 Make sure that the fuel-filler lid is closed
and lock the doors. Otherwise, the
fuel-filler lid may be forcefully opened by
water pressure causing damage to the
vehicle or fuel-filler lid.
To help protect the finish 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 th e paint surface when:
ï‚·The vehicle is washed without first
rinsing off dirt and other foreign matter.
ï‚·The vehicle is washed with a rough, dry,
or dirty cloth.
ï‚·The vehicle is washed at a car wash that
uses brushes that are dirty or too stiff.
ï‚·Cleansers or wax containing abrasives
are used.
NOTE
ï‚·Mazda is not responsible for scratches
caused by automatic car washes or
improper washing.
ï‚·Scratches are more noticeable on
vehicles with darker paint finishes.
To minimize scratches on the vehicle's
paint finish:
ï‚·Rinse off any dirt or other foreign matter
using lukewarm or cold water before
washing.
ï‚·Use plenty of luke warm or cold water
and a soft cloth when washing the
vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth.
ï‚·Rub gently when washing or drying the
vehicle.
ï‚·Take your vehicle only to a car wash
that keeps its brushes well maintained.
ï‚·Do not use abrasive cleansers or wax
that contain abrasives.
CAUTION
 Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners,
or strong detergents containing highly
alkaline or caustic agents on
chrome-plated or anodized aluminum
parts. This may damage the protective
coating; also, cleaners and detergents
may discolor or deteriorate the paint.
Pay special attention to removing salt, dirt,
mud, and other forei gn material from the
underside of the fenders, and make sure
the drain holes in the lower edges of the
doors and rocker panels are clean.
