AIMING THE HEADLAMPS
The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant.
If your vehicle has been in an accident the alignment of your headlamps
should be checked by your authorized Mazda dealer.
VERTICAL AIM ADJUSTMENT
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface approximately 7.6 meters
(25 feet) from a vertical wall or screen directly in front of it.
²(A) 2.4 meter (8 feet)
²(B) Center height of lamp to ground
²(C) 7.6 meters (25 feet)
²(D) Horizontal reference line
2. Measure the height from the center of your headlamp to the ground
and mark a 2.4 meter (8 foot) horizontal reference line on the
vertical wall or screen at this height (a piece of masking tape works
well). The center of the lamp is marked by a 3.0 mm circle on the
headlamp lens.
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen
and open the hood. Cover the left-hand headlamp with an opaque
cloth.

4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a light pattern with a
distinct horizontal edge of high
intensity light towards the right.
If this edge is not at the
horizontal reference line, the
beam will need to be adjusted.
5. Locate the vertical adjuster on
the headlamp, then usea7mm
hex socket or T20 Torx driver to turn the adjuster either
counterclockwise (to adjust down) or clockwise (to adjust up)
aligning the upper edge of the light pattern up to the horizontal line.
After market photometric aimers are not recommended for use on
Mazda vehicles.
6. Move the opaque cloth to cover the right-hand headlamp and repeat
steps 4 and 5 for the left-hand headlamp.
7. HORIZONTAL AIM IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IS
NON-ADJUSTABLE.
8. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.
CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR VEHICLE
Contact your local Mazda dealership for a list of Mazda-approved
cleaners, polishes and waxes.
Washing your vehicle
Wash your vehicle regularly with
cold or lukewarm water. Never use
strong detergents or soap. If your
vehicle is particularly dirty, use a
quality car wash detergent. Always
use a clean sponge, washing glove
or similar device and plenty of water
for best results. To avoid spots,
avoid washing when the hood is still
warm, immediately after or during
exposure to strong sunlight.
During winter months, it is especially important to wash the
vehicle on a regular basis. Large quantities of dirt and road salt
are difficult to remove and also cause damage to the vehicle.
