Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
Aluminum Wheel Maintenance
A protective coating is provided over the
aluminum wheels. Special care is needed
to protect this coating.
CAUTION
Do not use any detergent other than
mild detergent. Before using any
detergent, verify the ingredients.
Otherwise, the product could discolor
or stain the aluminum wheels.
NOTE
 Do not use a wire brush or any abrasive
cleaner, polishing compound, or solvent
on aluminum wheels. They may damage
the coating.
 Always use a sponge or soft cloth to
clean the wheels.
Rinse the wheels thoroughly with
lukewarm or cold water. Also, be sure
to clean the wheels after driving on
dusty or salted roads to help prevent
corrosion.
Convertible Top Maintenance
The convertible top is made of a special
high-grade material, but if it's not taken
good care of, hardening, staining, and
loss of luster will result. Maintain it under
these guidelines.
Washing
Do not wait until the convertible top gets
really dirty before cleaning it. Dirt that's
there too long will cause deterioration.
1. Before washing, remove dust and
coarse particulate with a soft brush.
2. Gently clean the convertible top with
a synthetic neutral detergent, lots of
water, and a soft brush.
3. Rinse it thoroughly with clean water to
remove all the soap.
4. Wipe it as dry as you can before the
water dries on it.
5. Then allow it to dry completely before
lowering it.
CAUTION
 Automatic and high-pressure car washes
are harmful to a convertible top. Avoid
them.
 Do not spray water directly on the
area where the window glass and
the convertible top meet. This would
probably cause water to enter the cabin.
 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.

16. Remove the air compressor hose from
the injection valve of the bottle. After
that, install the injection hose to the
injection valve of the bottle to prevent
leakage of any remaining sealant.
CAUTION
The remaining sealant in the hose may
spray out when the hose is removed.
Remove the hose carefully because you
may not be able to remove the sealant
contacting clothing or other objects.
17. Install the tire valve cap.
18. Put the emergency flat tire repair kit
into the trunk.
19. Start driving immediately to spread the
sealant in the tire.
CAUTION
Carefully drive the vehicle at a speed of
80 km/h (50 mph) or less. If the vehicle
is driven at a speed of 80 km/h (50
mph) or more, the vehicle may vibrate.
NOTE
(With Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
If the tire is not properly inflated, the tire
pressure monitoring system warning light
will illuminate (page 4-16).
20. After driving the vehicle for about 10
minutes or 5 km (3 miles), connect the
air compressor to the tire using Step
9 of the procedure, and check the tire
inflation pressure using the tire pressure
gauge on the air compressor. If the
tire inflation pressure is lower than the
specified tire inflation pressure, turn
the air compressor on and wait until
it reaches the specified tire inflation
pressure.
WARNING
If the tire inflation pressure has
decreased below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2 or
bar, 18.9 psi), stop driving and contact
an Authorized Mazda Dealer: The repair using the emergency flat tire
repair kit was not successful.
If you see a decrease in the tire inflation
pressure, even if Steps 9 to 20 of the
procedure are performed repeatedly,
stop driving: Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
Before checking the tire inflation
pressure using the tire pressure gauge,
turn the air compressor switch off.
21. The emergency flat tire repair is
completed successfully if the tire
inflation pressure does not decrease.
Carefully drive the vehicle to the
nearest Authorized Mazda Dealer
immediately and have the flat tire
replaced. Replacement with a new
tire is recommended. If the tire is
to be repaired or reused, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
