Opening the Hood
1. With the vehicle parked, pull the
release handle to unlock the hood. Make sure the fuel-filler cap is
tightened securely. The check engine
light may illuminate on when the cap
isn’t tightened securely. If the light
remains on (even after you have
tightened the cap securely, driven, and
restarted the engine several times), it
may indicate a different problem.
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer
as soon as possible.
CAUTIONHood
Closed and Securely Locked Hood:
A hood that is not closed and securely
locked is dangerous as it could fly
open while the vehicle is moving and
block the driver’s vision which could
result in a serious accident. Always
check that the hood is closed and
securely locked.

Security System
Form No. 8S06-EA-03H
The optional theft-deterrent system is
designed to prevent your vehicle or its
contents from being stolen when all the
doors, hood, and liftgate are locked.
If forcible entry is attempted, the system
sounds the horn and flashes the hazard
warning lights.

Operation
System triggering conditions
The horn sounds intermittently and the
hazard warning lights flash for about 3
minutes when the system is triggered by
any one of the following:
•Forcing open a door, the hood or the
liftgate.
•Opening a door or the hood by
operating an inside door-lock knob or
the hood release handle.
If the system is triggered again, the lights
and horn will activate until a door or the
liftgate is unlocked with the key or with
the transmitter.

How to Arm the System
1. Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
2. Close the hood. Then close and lock all
doors and the liftgate from the outside
using the key. If you have the keyless
entry system, press the LOCK button
on the transmitter. The hazard warning
lights will flash once to indicate that
the system is armed.
The following method will also arm the
theft-deterrent system:
Close the hood and the liftgate . Press
the area on the door-lock switch
marked "LOCK" once. Close all doors.
Theft-Deterrent System*
NOTE
•The theft-deterrent system operates
with the key or the keyless entry
system transmitter.
•The system will not function unless
it is properly armed. To properly
secure the vehicle, always make
sure all the windows are completely
closed and all doors and the liftgate
are locked before leaving the
vehicle. Make sure the security
indicator light is flashing.
Remember to take your key and
transmitter.
NOTE
Locking the doors with the inside
door-lock knob will not arm the
system.

Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
Form No. 8S06-EA-03H
All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood hinges and locks, should
be lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.
Make sure the engine hood’s secondary
latch keeps the hood from opening when
the primary latch is released.This air filter may be cleaned with
compressed air and reused, or replaced,
depending on its condition. Unless it is
very dirty, simply shake it to remove
foreign particles. Each time you inspect it,
wipe inside the air cleaner housing with a
damp cloth.

Replacing the Air Filter
1. Remove the bolt and unfasten the
clamps on the air cleaner housing.
Body LubricationAir Filter
Don’t drive without an air filter. This
could result in excessive engine wear.
NOTE
If the vehicle is operated in very dusty
or sandy areas, replace the filter more
often than recommended intervals.
