WARNING
!
Cooling System Caps:When the engine and radiator are
hot, scalding coolant and steam
may shoot out under pressure and
cause serious injury. Don’t
remove either cooling system cap
when the engine and radiator are
hot.
CAUTION
!
If the engine continues to overheat
or frequently overheats, have the
cooling system inspected. The
engine could be seriously damaged
unless repairs are made.
073-1A2E
Emergency Starting Jump-Starting
Jump-starting is dangerous if done
incorrectly. So follow the procedure
carefully. If you feel unsure about
jump-starting, we strongly recommend
that you have a competent service
technician do the work.
CAUTION
!
Use only a 12-volt booster system.
You can damage a 12-volt starter
motor, ignition system, and other
electrical parts beyond repair with
a 24-volt power supply (two
12-volt batteries in series or a
24-volt motor generator set).
WARNING
!
Battery-Related Explosion:Flames and sparks near open
battery cells are dangerous.
Hydrogen gas, produced during
normal battery operation, could
ignite and cause the battery to
explode. An exploding battery can
cause serious burns and injuries.
Keep all flames, including
cigarettes, and sparks away from
open battery cells.

the inside element will be melted. If the same fuse blows again, avoid
using that system and consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.

4. Inspect it and replace if it’s blown.
NOTEThe check engine light comes on
when a ROOM fuse blows or
when a ROOM fuse is removed.
When installing a ROOM fuse,
turn the ignition switch off and
wait 60 seconds before installing
the fuse. If the check engine light
comes on and doesn’t go off, there
is a problem other than the fuse
system. Consult your Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
5. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly.
If it doesn’ t, have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer install it.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow one
of the same rating from a circuit not
essential to vehicle operation, such as
the RADIO circuit.
CAUTION
!
Always replace a fuse with one of
the same rating. Otherwise you
may damage the electric system.

Maintenance
8-13
Improper owner maintenance during
the warranty period may affect
warranty coverage. For details, read
the separate Mazda Warranty
statement provided with the vehicle. If
you’re unsure about any servicing or
maintenance procedure, have it done
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

when you wear jewelry or loose
clothing. Either can become
entangled in moving parts and
result in injury. Therefore, if you
must run the engine while
working under the hood, make
certain that you remove all
jewelry (especially rings,
bracelets, watches, and necklaces)
and all neckties, scarves, and
similar loose clothing before
getting near the engine or cooling
fan.

could come on unexpectedly even
when the engine isn’t running.
You could be seriously injured by
the fan. Turn the ignition switch
off and remove the key from the
ignition switch when you inspect
the engine.
