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 the 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 ar e 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 scratche s 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 lukewarm 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 brush es 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 foreign 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.

Do not spray water directly on the seam
area of the body and the convertible top
as it could result in water penetrating the
cabin and trunk.
Some leather treatment products can
ruin the convertible top's gloss. Be careful
of the one you choose.
 Test on an inconspicuous, small corner of
the convertible top if you are not sure.
 Do not wipe the convertible top using
alcohol, chlorine bleach, or organic
solvents such as thinner, benzene, or
gasoline. Otherwise, they may cause
discoloration or stains.
 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).
 Too much treatment on the convertible
top can be as damaging as too little.
Follow the manufacturer's directions.
Do not overdo it!
 Let the convertible top dry completely
before lowering after applying treatment
or dressing.

â–¼ Convertible Top (Retractable
Hardtop) Maintenance
Wa s h i n g
To help protect the retractable hardtop's
finish, use a soft cloth or sponge to wash
it.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial fallout, and similar deposits can
damage the finish if
they are not removed
immediately. When prompt washing with
plain water is ineffective use a mild soap
made for use on vehicles.
CAUTION
 Do not use an automatic car wash.
 Do not spray water directly on the area
where the window glass and the
retractable hardtop meet. This would
probably cause water to enter the cabin.
 Do not use strong soap, chemical
detergents, or hot water, and do not
wash the retractable hardtop in direct
sunlight or when the surface is warm.
Thoroughly rinse with lukewarm or cold
water. Do not allow soap to dry on the
finish.
Waxing
Wax the retractable hardtop when water no
longer beads on the paint. Always wash
and dry it before waxing.
CAUTION
 Wiping off dust or dirt with a dry cloth
will scratch the finish.
 Do not use abrasive wax. This may
damage the protective coating and
discolor or deteriorate the paint.
NOTE
A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and
similar materials will usually also take off
the wax. Rewax these areas.

CAUTION
If the bottle is shaken after the injection
hose is screwed on, tire sealant could
spray out from the injection hose. Tire
sealant contacting clothing or other
objects may be impossible to remove.
Shake the bottle before screwing on the
injection hose.
NOTE
The sealant hardens easily and
injecting it will be difficult under cold
weather conditions (0 °C (32 °F) or
below). Warm the sealant inside the
vehicle to facilitate injection.
7. Remove the cap from the bottle. Screw on the injection hose with the bottle's
inner cap left on to break the inner cap.
