In Case of EmergencyBecause an emergency can occur anytime, we strongly urge you to become familiar with this section of your
manual. It provides helpful information on what to do if the engine overheats, if you have a flat tire, and if the
battery is discharged.
You will also find out what to do if you confront a problem in the electrical system; and, there’s some guidance
on the correct way to tow your Mazda.Hazard Warning Flasher 6- 2Overheating 6- 2

Your vehicle’s electrical system is
protected by fuses.
If any lights, accessories, or controls
don’ t work, inspect the appropriate
circuit protector. If a fuse has blown,
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.

first inspect fuses on the driver ’s side.

Normal Blown
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.
