J94A4032Turn and Lane-Change Signals
Turn signal
Move the signal lever down (for a left
turn) or up (for a right turn) to the stop
position. The signal will self-cancel
after the turn is completed. Green indicators on the dashboard
show which signal is working.
If the indicator light continues to flash
after a turn, manually return the lever
to its original position.
Lane-change signals
Move the lever slightly toward the
direction of the change—until the
indicator flashes—and hold it there. It
will return to the off position when
released.
NOTEIf an indicator light stays on
without flashing or if it flashes
abnormally, the turn-signal bulb
may be burned out.

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

Handling Halogen Bulbs:When a halogen bulb breaks, it is
dangerous. These bulbs contain
pressurized gas. If one is broken,
it will explode and serious injuries
could be caused by the flying
glass. If the glass portion is
touched with bare hands, body oil
could cause the bulb to overheat
and explode when lit. Never touch
the glass portion of the bulb with
your bare hands and always wear
eye protection when handling or
working around halogen bulbs.
WARNING
!
Children and Halogen Bulbs:Playing with a halogen bulb is
dangerous. Serious injuries could

bulb or breaking it some other
way. Always keep halogen bulbs
