ADD-ON NON-GENUINE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
Non-genuine parts and accessories for Mazda vehicles can be found in
stores. These may fit your vehicle, but they are not approved by the
manufacturer for use with Mazda vehicles. When you install non-genuine
parts or accessories, they could affect your vehicle's performance or safety
system; the manufacturer's warranty doesn't cover this. Before you install
any non-genuine parts or accessories, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
WARNING: Installation of Non-Genuine Parts or Accessories:
Installation of non-genuine parts or accessories could be
dangerous. Improperly designed parts or accessories could
seriously affect your vehicle's performance or safety system. This
could cause you to have an accident or increase your chances of
injuries in an accident. Always consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer before you install non-genuine parts or accessories.
WARNING: Add-On Electrical and Electronic Equipment:
Incorrectly choosing or installing improper add-on equipment or
choosing an improper installer could be dangerous. Essential
systems could be damaged, causing engine stalling, air-bag
(SRS) activation, ABS inactivation, or a fire in the vehicle. Be
very careful in choosing and installing add-on electrical
equipments, such as mobile telephones, two-way radios, stereo
systems, and car alarm systems.
Mazda assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may
result from the installation of add-on non-genuine parts or accessories.

CELL PHONES
Use of cell phones and other devices by driver:
WARNING: Although not Mazda products, use of any electrical
devices such as cell phones, computers, portable radios, vehicle
navigation or other devices by the driver while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous. Dialing a number on a cell phone while
driving also ties-up the driver's hands. Use of these devices will
cause the driver to be distracted and could lead to a serious
accident. If a passenger is unable to use the device, pull off the
right-of-way to a safe area before use. If use of a cell phone is
necessary despite this warning, use a hands-free system to at
least allow the hands free to drive the vehicle. Never use a cell
phone or other electrical device while the vehicle is moving and,
instead, concentrate on the full-time job of driving.
