CAUTION
ØRadiator coolant will damage
paint.
Rinse it off quickly if spilled.
ØUse only soft (demineralized)
water in the coolant mixture.
Water that contains minerals will
cut down on the coolant's
effectiveness.
ØDo not add only water. Always
add a proper coolant mixture.
ØThe engine has aluminum parts
and must be protected by an
ethylene-glycol-based coolant to
prevent corrosion and freezing.
ØDO NOT USE coolants Containing
Alcohol, methanol, Borate or
Silicate.
These coolants could damage the
cooling system.
ØDO NOT MIX alcohol or methanol
with the coolant. This could
damage the cooling system.
ØDo not use a solution that
contains more than 60%
antifreeze.
This would reduce effectiveness.NOTE
If the“FL22”mark is shown on or near the
cooling system cap, it is recommended to use
Mazda Genuine FL22 engine coolant (page
8-4).
If the coolant reservoir is empty or new
coolant is required frequently, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
