Outside the United States and
CanadaGovernment regulations in the United
States require that automobiles meet
specific emission regulations and
safety standards. Therefore, vehicles
built for use in the United States, its
territories, and Canada may differ
from those sold in other countries.
The differences may make it difficult
or even impossible for your vehicle to
receive satisfactory servicing in other
countries. We strongly recommend
that you NOT take your Mazda
outside these areas. Example of problems encountered
outside the United States and Canada:
•
Recommended fuel may be
unavailable. Any kind of leaded
fuel or low-octane fuel will affect
vehicle performance and damage
the emission controls and engine.
• Proper repair facilities, tools,
testing equipment, and replacement
parts may not be available.
The manufacturer ’s warranty applies
only to Mazda vehicles registered and
normally operated in the United States,
its territories, and Canada.

Add-On Non-Genuine Parts
and AccessoriesNon-genuine parts and accessories for
Mazda vehicles can be found in stores.
These may fit your vehicle, but they
are not approved by the manufacturer
for use with Mazda vehicles. When
you install non-genuine parts or
accessories, they could affect your
vehicle’ s performance or safety
system; the manufacturer ’s warranty
doesn’ t cover this. Before you install
any non-genuine parts or accessories,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

WARNING
!
Installation of Non-GenuineParts or Accessories:Installation of non-genuine parts
or accessories could be
dangerous. Improperly designed

WARNING
!
Add-On Electrical and ElectronicEquipment:Incorrectly choosing or installing
improper add-on equipment or
choosing an improper installer
could be dangerous. Essential
systems could be damaged,
causing engine stalling, air-bag
(SRS) activation, ABS
inactivation, or a fire in the
vehicle. Be very careful in
choosing and installing add-on
electrical equipments, such as
mobile telephones, two-way
radios, stereo systems, and car
alarm systems.
