DRIVING TIP\b
Always check the Owner’s Manual for more operating information and safety features
DrivingTips
Quick Tips 2004 Mazda MPV page 26
page 27
Break-in period
First 600 miles: Avoid heavy
braking and acceleration; drive at
varying road and engine speeds
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)*
When brake pedal is pressed, ABS
automatically reduces hydraulic
pressure to any wheel on the
verge of locking up
You may feel a slight pulsing of the
brake pedal and hear a clicking noise;
this tells you the ABS is functioning
properly; increase pressure on pedal
for maximum braking
Tips: Maintain constant
pressure on the brake pedal
Do not pump the brakes
Unique driving conditions
†Every 5,000 miles change oil/
filter, inspect coolant level,
lights, brake/clutch fluid, tire
pressure/wear, power steering
fluid, locks/hinges, washer fluid
and rotate tires
Maintenance notes:
Rotate tires every 7,500 miles
or sooner if needed
Replace cabin air filter once
every 2 years or 25,000 miles
†
Replace spark plugs every
100,000 miles (or 60,000 miles
if following the Unique driving
conditions
†)Traction Control System*
Automatically applies and releases
brakes to prevent excessive wheel
spin at all speeds, especially
when accelerating on
slippery surfaces
Tire economy and tips
Check pressure at least monthly
when tires are cold
Maintain correct front-end
alignment and tire balance; rotate
tires at 7,500-mile
intervals; see
Owner’s Manual for rotation chart
Tire pressure
Decal on the edge of the
driver’s door provides tire
pressure information
A.Change: Engine oil/
replace filter
Lubricate: All locks and hinges
B. Inspect: Disc brakes
C. Inspect: Drive belts, fuel lines
and hoses, cooling system,
brake lines, hoses and
connections, drum brakes,
steering operation and
linkages, front suspension
ball joints, driveshaft
dust boots
D. Replace: Air filter
E. Inspect: Exhaust system and
heat shields
F. Inspect: PCV valve
Change: Engine coolant
Tire chains*
†Tire chains can damage aluminum
wheels; use on steel wheels only
Tips: Use only SAE class
“S ”
chains, install only on front
tires; install as tightly as
possible and retighten
after driving 1/4 -1/2 miles;
chains may affect handling
Never exceed 30 mph with
tire chains
