2004 MAZDA MODEL TRIBUTE heater

²The player's internal temperature is above 60ÉC (140ÉF). Allow the
player to cool down before operating.
²A disc with format and dimensions not within industry standards is
inserted.
CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 12 cm (4.75
in) audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility,
certain recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not
function correctly when used in Mazda CD players. Irregular
shaped CDs, CDs with a scratch protection film attached, and CDs
with homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted
into the CD player. The label may peel and cause the CD to
become jammed. It is recommended that homemade CDs be
identified with permanent felt tip marker rather than adhesive
labels. Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please contact your
dealer for further information.
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 ballpoint 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.

1. Turn the key to 4 (START)
without pressing the accelerator
pedal and release as soon as the
engine starts. The key will
return to 3 (ON).
2. When the engine starts, release
the key, then release the
accelerator pedal gradually as
the engine speeds up.
3. After idling for a few seconds,
apply the brake, shift into gear and drive.
Note:If the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try,
turn the key to OFF, wait 10 seconds and try again. If the engine still
fails to start, press the accelerator to the floor and try again; this will
allow the engine to crank with the fuel shut off in case the engine is
flooded with fuel.
Using the engine block heater (if equipped)
An engine block heater warms the engine coolant, which improves
starting, warms up the engine faster and allows the heater-defroster
system to respond quickly. Use of an engine block heater is strongly
recommended if you live in a region where temperatures reach -23É C
(-10É F) or below.
For best results, plug the heater in at least three hours before starting
the vehicle. Using the heater for longer than three hours will not harm
the engine, so the heater can be plugged in the night before starting the
vehicle.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use
your heater with ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged
(cheater) adapters.
Guarding against exhaust fumes
Although odorless and colorless, carbon monoxide is present in exhaust
fumes. Take precautions to avoid its dangerous effects.
WARNING: If you ever smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside
your vehicle, have your authorized Mazda dealer inspect and fix
your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell exhaust
fumes. These fumes are harmful and result in accident or death.

3. Turn off the air conditioner.
WARNING: Steam from an overheated engine is dangerous. The
escaping steam could seriously burn you. Open the hood ONLY
after steam is no longer escaping from the engine.
4. Check whether coolant or steam is escaping from under the hood or
from the engine compartment.
²If steam is coming from the engine compartment:do not go near
the front of the vehicle. Stop the engine, then turn the ignition switch
to the ON position without starting the engine. The radiator cooling
fans will start to cool the engine.
²If neither coolant nor steam is escaping:open the hood and idle
the engine until it cools. If this does not lower the temperature, stop
the engine and let it cool.
5. Check the coolant level. If it is low, look for leaks in the radiator
hoses and connections, heater hoses and connections, radiator and
water pump.
If you find a leak or other damage, or if coolant is still leaking, stop the
engine and call an Authorized Mazda dealer.
SeeAdding coolantin theMaintenance and specificationssection. If
you find no problems, the engine is cool and no leaks are obvious,
carefully add coolant as required.
WARNING: When the engine and radiator are hot, scalding
coolant and steam may shoot out under pressure and cause
serious injury. Do not remove the cooling system cap when the
engine and radiator are hot.
Note:If the engine continues to overheat or frequently overheats, have
the cooling system inspected. The engine could be seriously damaged
unless repairs are made.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE INFORMATION
Your vehicle may have a temporary or conventional spare tire. The
temporary spare tire for your vehicle is labeled as such. It is smaller than
a regular tire and is designed for emergency use only. Replace this tire
with a full-size tire as soon as possible.
It is not recommended that the vehicle be operated in 4WD modes with
a temporary spare. If 4WD operation is necessary, do not operate above
speeds of 16 km/h (10 mph) or for distances above 80 km (50 miles).

Preparing your vehicle
When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the
transmission must relearn its shift strategy. As a result, the transmission
may have firm and/or soft shifts. This operation is considered normal and
will not affect function or durability of the transmission. Over time, the
adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation.
²Use only a 12±volt supply to start your vehicle.
²Do not disconnect the battery of the disabled vehicle as this could
damage the vehicle's electrical system.
²Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the disabled vehicle
making sure the two vehiclesdo nottouch. Set the parking brake on
both vehicles and stay clear of the engine cooling fan and other
moving parts.
²Check all battery terminals and remove any excessive corrosion before
you attach the battery cables. Ensure the vent caps are tight and
level.
²Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect any electrical
surges. Turn all other accessories off.
Connecting the jumper cables
1. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of
the discharged battery.
Note:In the illustrations,lightning boltsare used to designate the
assisting (boosting) battery.
