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

RADIO FREQUENCIES
AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:
AM - 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz
FM- 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
There are three factors that can affect radio reception:
•Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the
weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
•Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
•Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal
may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.

HEADLAMP AIM ADJUSTMENT
The headlamps are designed to be mechanically aimed, but can also be
aimed visually by doing the following:
1. Park your vehicle on a level
surface about 25 feet
(7.6 meters) away from a
vertical plain surface (3).
Check your headlamp alignment
at night or in a dark area so
that you can see the headlamp
beam pattern.
•(1) Eight feet
•(2) Center height of lamp to
ground
•(3) Twenty-five feet
•(4) Horizontal reference line
•(5) Center of headlamps
•(6) Center line of the vehicle
2. The center of the headlamp is marked either on the lens (a circle or
cross marker) or on the bulb shield, internal to the lamp (mark or
feature). Measure the height from the center of your headlamp to
the ground (2) and mark an 8 foot (2.4 meter) long horizontal line
on the wall or screen (1) at this height (masking tape works well).
3. Turn on the low beam
headlamps and open the hood.
4. Locate the high intensity area of
the beam pattern and place the
top edge of the intensity zone
even with the horizontal
reference line (4). If the top
edge of the high intensity area
is not even with the horizontal
line, follow the next step to
adjust it.

headlamps on the wall or
screen.
7. On the wall or screen, locate the high intensity area of the beam
pattern. The left edge of the high intensity area should be even with
the vertical line corresponding to the headlamp under adjustment. If
the left edge of the high intensity area is not even with the vertical
line, follow the next step to adjust it.
