Level
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the power
steering pump, do not operate the
vehicle for long periods when the
power steering fluid level is low.
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir at
each engine oil change with the engine off
and cold.
The level must be kept between MIN and
MAX.
Visually examine the lines and hoses for
leaks and damage.
If the fluid decreases significantly or the
fluid level is around MIN or lower than
MIN, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer to have the vehicle inspected.

q Inspecting Automatic Transaxle
Fluid Level
The automatic transaxle fluid level should
be inspected regularly. Measure it as
described below.
CAUTION
Always check the automatic
transaxle fluid level according to the
following procedure. If the procedure
is not done correctly, the automatic
transaxle fluid level cannot be
measured accurately which could
lead to automatic transaxle damage.
1. Park on a level surface and set the parking brake firmly.
2. Make sure there is no ATF leakage from the ATF hose or the housing.
3. Shift the shift lever to the park position (P), start the engine and warm it up.
CAUTION
Do not shift the shift lever while the
engine is warming up. If the ATF level
is extremely low, the automatic
transaxle could be damaged.
4. While the engine is still idling, pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean, and then
put it back.
5. Check the ATF level. If the ATF level does not reach 5 mm (0.2 in) from the
end of the dipstick, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer to have the
vehicle inspected.
