Driving Your Mazda5-122J45T4071•Be sure never to touch the signal
surface when handling the CDs.
Pick up a CD by grasping the outer
edge or the edge of the hole and the
outer edge. •
Do not stick paper or tape on the
CD. Avoid scratching the reverse
side (the side without a label).
• Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can
decrease the amount of light
reflected from the signal surface,
thus affecting sound quality. If the
CD should become soiled, gently
wipe it with a soft cloth from the
center of the CD to the edge. •
Do not use record sprays, antistatic
agents, or household spray
cleaners. Volatile chemicals such as
benzine and thinner can also
damage the surface of the CD and
must not be used. Anything that
can damage, warp, or fog plastic
should never be used to clean CDs.
• CDs, like traditional audio records,
are made of plastic. To avoid
warping, keep the CDs in their
cases and do not store them where
they will be exposed to direct
sunlight.

4. Wipe off the wax with a soft cloth.NOTEA spot remover to remove oil, tar,
and similar materials will usually
also take off the wax. Rewax these
areas even if the rest of the vehicle
doesn’t need it.

Repairing Damage to the Finish
Deep scratches or chips on the finish
should be repaired promptly. Exposed
metal quickly rusts and can lead to
major repairs.
CAUTION
!
If your Mazda is damaged and
needs metal parts repaired or
replaced, make sure the body shop
applies anticorrosion materials to
all parts, both repaired and new.
This will prevent them from
rusting.

Bright-Metal Maintenance
• Use tar remover to remove road tar
and insects. Never do this with a
knife or similar tool.
• To prevent corrosion on
bright-metal surfaces, apply wax or
chrome preservative and rub it to a
high luster.
• During cold weather or in coastal
areas, cover bright-metal parts with
a coating of wax or preservative
heavier than usual. It would also
help to coat them with
noncorrosive petroleum jelly or
some other protective compound.

Cleaning the Upholstery and
Interior Trim
 Vinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl
with a whisk broom or vacuum
cleaner. Clean vinyl with a
leather-and-vinyl cleaner.
 Leather
Real leather isn’ t uniform and may
have scars, scratches, and wrinkles.
Clean it with a leather cleaner or mild
soap.
Wipe it with a damp soft cloth; then
dry and buff it with a dry soft cloth.
Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from
fabric with a whisk broom or vacuum
cleaner. Clean it with a mild soap
solution good for upholstery and
carpets. Remove fresh spots
immediately with a fabric spot cleaner.
To keep the fabric looking clean and
fresh, take care of it. Otherwise its
color will be affected, it can be stained
easily, and its fire-resistance may be
reduced.

MaintenanceBecause your Mazda is a large piece of intricate machinery, it needs regular care in the form of maintenance
and servicing. Many owners prefer to do much of this work themselves.
So Section 8 has been prepared as a guide for the operator who wants to self-service such minor jobs\
as
changing the engine oil, replacing bulbs and wiper blades, charging the battery, and rotating the tires. All
maintenance schedules are included, along with instructions on how to make regular inspections of such things
as fluid levels.Introduction 8- 2
