CD TIPS- CONDENSATION PHENOMENON
Immediately after turning on the heater when the vehicle is cold, the CD
or optical components (prism and lens) in the CD player/changer may
become clouded with condensation. When this happens, the CD will eject
immediately when placed in the unit. A clouded CD can be corrected
simply by wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded optical components will
clear naturally in about an hour. Wait for normal operation to return
before attempting to use the unit.
HANDLING THE IN-DASH CD PLAYER
²Do not spill any liquid on the audio system.
²Do not insert any objects, other than CDs, into the slot.
²The CD revolves at a high speed within the unit. Defective (cracked or
badly bent) CDs should never be used.
²Do not use non-conventional discs such as heart-shaped, octagonal
discs, etc. The CD player could be damaged.
²A new CD may have rough edges on its inner and outer perimeters. If
a disc with rough edges is used, proper setting will not be possible
and the CD player will not play the CD. Remove the rough edges in
advance by using a ball-point pen or pencil as shown above. To
remove the rough edges, rub the side of the pen or pencil against the
inner and outer perimeter of the CD.
²When driving over rough or uneven surfaces, the audio sound may
jump.
²The CD player has been designed to play CDs bearing the
identification logo as shown. No other discs can be played.
²Do not stick paper or tape on the CD. Avoid scratching the reverse
side of the CD (the side without a label).
²Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can decrease the amount of light
reflected from the signal surface, thereby effecting sound quality.
Gently wipe a soiled CD with a soft cloth from the center to the edge.
²Do not use record sprays, antistatic agents, or household spray
cleaners. Volatile chemicals such as benzine and thinner can also
damage the surface of the CD and must not be used. Do not use
anything that can damage, warp or fog CDs.

Replacing headlamp bulbs
1. Make sure that the headlamp control is in the OFF position.
2. Open the hood.
3. Disconnect the electrical
connector from the bulb by
pulling rearward.
4. Remove the rubber boot from
the lamp assembly by pulling on
one of the tabs.
5. Squeeze the retainer spring
together releasing it from bulb
hooks and rotate it away from
the bulb.
6. Without turning, carefully pull bulb out of headlamp assembly.
Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully and keep out of
children's reach. Grasp the bulb only by its plastic base and do
not touch the glass. The oil from your hands could cause the bulb
to break the next time the headlamps are operated.
NOTE: If the bulb is accidentally touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used.
7. Insert the glass end of the new bulb into the headlamp assembly.
When the bulb's three metal tabs are aligned with the grooves in the
plastic base, push the bulb into the lamp assembly until the bulb's
metal base contacts the rear of the lamp assembly.
8. Rotate the retainer spring over the bulb plastic base and secure it on
the bulb hooks.
9. Install rubber boot on the lamp assembly.
10. Connect the electrical connector into the rear of the plastic base
until it ªsnaps.º

Roadside Emergencies

PAINT CHIPS
Your dealer has touch-up paint to match your vehicle's color. Touch-up
paint can be used to repair minor scratches to painted surfaces.
²Remove particles such as bird droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar
spots, road salt and industrial fallout before repairing paint chips.
²Always read the instructions before using the products.
ALUMINUM WHEELS AND COVERS
Aluminum wheel rims or covers are coated with a clearcoat paint finish.
In order to maintain their shine:
²Clean with One Step Wash and Wax Concentrate, which is available
from your local Mazda dealer.
²Never apply any cleaning chemical to hot or warm wheel rims or
covers.
²Some automatic car washes may cause damage to the finish on your
wheel rims or covers. Chemical-strength cleaners, or cleaning
chemicals, in combination with brush agitation to remove brake dust
and dirt, could wear away the clearcoat finish over time.
²Do not use hydrofluoric acid-based or high caustic-based wheel
cleaners, steel wool, fuels or strong household detergent.
²To remove tar and grease, use Extra Strength Tar and Road Oil
Removal, available from your local Mazda dealer.
ENGINE
Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt
buildup keep the engine warmer than normal. When washing:
²Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The
high-pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause
damage.
²Never spray the engine or other engine components with water. Water
will damage the engine or other engine components.
²Spray Engine Shampoo and Degreaser, available at your local Mazda
dealer, on all parts that require cleaning and pressure rinse clean.
²Cover the highlighted areas to prevent water damage when cleaning
the engine.
