Maintenance
Introduction
Be exlremely careful to prevent injury to
yourself and otlers and damage to your
vehicle when using this nanual for
inspection and maintenance.
Ifyou're unsure about any procedure it
describes, we strongly urge you to have a
reliable and qualified service shop
perform the work, preferably an
Autl]orized Mazda Dealer
Factorylrained Mazdatechnicians and
genuine Mazda parts are best for your
vehicle. Without this expertise and the
parts that have been designed and made
especially for your Mazda, inadequale,
incomplete, and insufficienl s€rvicing
may result in problems. This could lead
to vehicle damage or an accident and
injuries.
For expert advice and quality servic€,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Tbe owner should retain evidence that
proper maintenance has b€en performed
A claim againsl a warranly will not
qualify if it results from lack of
maintenance and not from defective
material or authorized Mazda
workmanship.
Any auto repair shop using parts
equivalent to your Mazda's original
equipment may perform maintenance.
But we .ecomm€nd that it always be
done by an Authorized Mazda Dealer
using genuine Maz da parts.
