Remarks:
•The ignition and fuel systems are highly important to the emission control system and to efficient engine operation. All
inspections and adjustments must be made by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
•After the prescribed period, continue to follow the described maintenance at the recommended intervals.
•Refer below for a description of items marked* in the maintenance chart.
*1: If the vehicle is operated under any of the following conditions, change the engine oil and oil filter more often than
recommended intervals.
a. Driving in dusty conditions.
b. Extended periods of idling or low speed operation.
c. Driving for long period in cold temperatures or driving regularly at short distance only.
*2: Also inspect and adjust the power steering and air conditioner drive belts, if installed.
*3: If the brakes are used extensively (for example, continuous hard driving or mountain driving) or if the vehicle is
operated in extremely humid climates, change the brake fluid annually.
*4: If the vehicle is operated in very dusty or sandy areas, clean and if necessary, replace the air cleaner element more
often than the recommended intervals.
*5: This is a full function check of electrical systems such as lights, wiper and washer systems (including wiper blades),
and power windows.
*6: If the vehicle is operated under any of the following conditions, change the rear differential oil
every 45,000 km (27,000 miles).
a. Towing a trailer or using a car - top carrier
b. Driving in dusty, sandy or wet condition
c. Extended periods of idling or low speed operation
d. Repeated short trips of less than 16 km (10 miles)
*7: If this component has been submerged in water, the oil should be changed.

Features
•Line pressure is hydraulic pressure for operating friction elements such as the multiple disc clutches, multiple
disc brakes, and the brake band.
•To adjust to optimal line pressure according to engine load conditions and vehicle driving conditions,
continuous variable line pressure control from the pressure control solenoid is used.
•The line pressure control includes the basic control, line pressure control when shifting, backup control, and
other.

PRECAUTION (FRONT AND REAR AXLE)A6E631001018201Wheel and Tire Removal/Installation
1. The removal and installation procedures for the wheels and tires are not mentioned in this section. When a
wheel is removed, tighten it to 88—118 N·m {9.0—12.0 kgf·m, 65.0—87.0 ft·lbf}
Brake Line Disconnection/Connection
Caution
•Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid gets on a painted surface, wipe it off
immediately.
1. Tighten the brake pipe flare nut using the SST (49 0259 770B). Be sure to modify the brake pipe flare nut
tightening torque to allow for use of a torque wrench-SST combination.
2. If any brake line has been disconnected any time during the procedure, add brake fluid, bleed the brakes, and
inspect for leakage after the procedure has been completed.
Suspension Arm Removal/Installation
1. Tighten any part of the suspension that uses rubber bushings only after vehicle has been lowered and
unloaded.
Note
•Unloaded: Fuel tank is full. Engine coolant and engine oil are at specified level. Spare tire, jack, and tools
are in designated position.
Connector Disconnection
1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before disconnecting connectors.
Electronic Control 4WD System Parts
1. After servicing the electronic control 4WD system parts, verify that no DTC has been stored. Clear any DTCs
remaining in the memory.

No. Symptom Description
1 Frequent front wheel slip Front wheels slip frequently during acceleration on low-friction road.
2
Tight corner braking effectBrakes seem to be applied during tight cornering while driving very
slowly on paved road.
3 Abnormal noise and/or vibration from
coupling unitThere is abnormal noise and/or vibration from coupling unit during
driving.
1 Frequent front wheel slip
[TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS]
•Tire traction performance is extremely poor for given road friction. (4WD system is normal.)
•Improper wheel alignment (4WD system is normal.)
•Rear differential oil temperature is extremely high (Fail-safe condition)
•Differential oil temperature sensor malfunction (Fail-safe condition)
•Compare slip frequency with another vehicle of the same model (under the same road conditions and tire traction
performance).
•Replace tires with others of the same model and perform test under the same road conditions to determine if the
malfunction was caused by tire traction performance.
•Coupling component malfunction
•4WD solenoid malfunction
