2. Measure the height from the center of your headlamp to the ground
and mark an 8 foot (2.4 meter) horizontal reference line on the
vertical wall or screen at this height (a piece of masking tape works
well). The center of the lamp is marked by a 3.0 mm circle on the
headlamp lens.
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen
and open the hood. Cover the left-hand headlamp with an opaque
cloth.
4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a light pattern with a
distinct horizontal edge of high
intensity light towards the right.
If this edge is not at the
horizontal reference line, the
beam will need to be adjusted.
5. Locate the vertical adjuster on
the headlamp, then usea7mm
hex socket or T20 Torx driver
to turn the adjuster either
counterclockwise (to adjust
down) or clockwise (to adjust
up) aligning the upper edge of
the light pattern up to the
horizontal line. Aftermarket
photometric aimers are not
recommended for use on Mazda
vehicles.
6. Move the opaque cloth to cover the right-hand headlamp and repeat
steps 4 and 5 for the left-hand headlamp.
7. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.

OVERHEATING
If the temperature gauge indicates overheating and you experience
power loss, you hear a loud knocking or pinging noise, the engine is
probably too hot.
If this happens: 1. Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.
2. Shift the automatic transmission into P (Park) or the manual transmission into the neutral position, and apply the parking brake.
3. Turn off the air conditioner.
