Maintenance and Care
Essential Information
Introduction
Be extremely careful and prevent injury to yourself and others or damage\
to your vehicle
when using this manual for inspection and maintenance.
If you are unsure about any procedure it describes, we strongly urge you to have a reliable
and qualifi ed service shop perform the work, preferably an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Factory-trained Mazda technicians and genuine Mazda parts are best for y\
our vehicle.
Without this expertise and the parts that have been designed and made esp\
ecially for your
Mazda, inadequate, incomplete, and insuffi cient servicing may result in problems. This
could lead to vehicle damage or an accident and injuries.
For expert advice and quality service, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
To continue warranty eligibility and to protect your investment, it is yo\
ur responsibility to
properly maintain your vehicle according to factory recommended schedule\
s outlined in this
manual. As part of this you must keep your maintenance records, receipts, repair\
orders and
any other documents as evidence this maintenance was performed. You must present these
documents, should any warranty coverage disagreement occur. Failure to do so can result in
your warranty being voided either in whole or in part.
This evidence may consist of the following:
 y The Mazda Scheduled Maintenance Record, refer to the Warranty Booklet, must be
completely fi lled out showing mileage, repair order number, date for each service, and
signed by a qualifi ed automotive service technician who service vehicles.
 y  Original copies of repair orders or other receipts that include the mile\
age and date the
vehicle was serviced. Each receipt should be signed by a qualifi ed automotive service
technician.
 y  For self maintenance, a statement that you completed the maintenance you\
rself,
displaying mileage and the date the work was performed. Also, receipts for the
replacement parts (fl uid, fi lters, etc.) indicating the date and mileage must accompany this
statement.
NOTE
If you elect to perform maintenance yourself or have your vehicle servic\
ed at a location
other than an Authorized Mazda Dealer, Mazda requires that all fl uids, parts and materials
must meet Mazda standards for durability and performance as described in this manual.
