vehicles built for use in Canada could be eligible for exportation to the
United States with specific vehicle modifications to comply with the
United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety requirements.
Special Note: The above is applicable for permanent import/export
situations and not related to travelers on vacation.
You may have the following problems if you do take your vehicle outside
of Canada:
•Recommended fuel may be unavailable. Any kind of leaded fuel or
low-octane fuel will affect vehicle performance and damage the
emission controls and engine.
•Proper repair facilities, tools, testing equipment, and replacement
parts may not be available.
Please refer to your manufacturers warranty booklet for more
information.
ADD-ON NON-GENUINE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
Non-genuine parts and accessories for Mazda vehicles can be found in
stores. These may fit your vehicle, but they are not approved by the
manufacturer for use with Mazda vehicles. When you install non-genuine
parts or accessories, they could affect your vehicle’s performance or
safety system; the manufacturer’s warranty doesn’t cover this. Before you
install any non-genuine parts or accessories, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
WARNING:Installation of Non-Genuine Parts or Accessories:
Installation of non-genuine parts or accessories could be
dangerous. Improperly designed parts or accessories could seriously
affect your vehicle’s performance or safety system. This could cause
you to have an accident or increase your chances of injuries in an
accident. Always consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer before you install
non-genuine parts or accessories.
WARNING:Add-On Electrical and Electronic Equipment:
Incorrectly choosing or installing improper add-on equipment or
choosing an improper installer could be dangerous. Essential systems
could be damaged, causing engine stalling, air-bag (SRS) activation,
ABS inactivation, or a fire in the vehicle. Be very careful in choosing
and installing add-on electrical equipment, such as mobile telephones,
two-way radios, stereo systems, and car alarm systems.

CELL PHONES
Use of cell phones and other devices by the driver:
WARNING:Use of any electrical devices such as cell phones,
computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices
by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Dialing a
number on a cell phone while driving also ties-up the driver’s hands.
Use of these devices will cause the driver to be distracted and could
lead to a serious accident. If a passenger is unable to use the device,
pull off the right-of-way to a safe area before use. If use of a cell phone
is necessary despite this warning, use a hands-free system to at least
allow the hands free to drive the vehicle. Never use a cell phone or
other electrical device while the vehicle is moving and, instead,
concentrate on the full-time job of driving.
In addition, the gasoline distributors are warning against using cell
phones during refueling procedures, due to their increased concern
about static electricity fires in the self-service pump environment.
