 A new CD may have rough edges on its
inner and outer perimeters. If a disc with
rough edges is used, proper setting will
not be possible and the CD player will
not play the CD. In addition, the disc
may not eject resulting in a malfunction.
Remove the rough edges in advance
by using a ball-point pen or pencil as
shown below. To remove the rough
edges, rub the side of the pen or pencil
against the inner and outer perimeter of
the CD.
 


 When driving over uneven surfaces, the
sound may jump.
 


 CDs bearing the logo shown in the
illustration can be played. No other discs
can be played.
 


 Use discs that have been legitimately
produced. If illegally-copied discs such

not operate properly.
 


 Be sure never to touch the signal surface
when handling the CDs. Pick up a CD
by grasping the outer edge or the edge of
the hole and the outer edge.

Avoid scratching the reverse side (the
side without a label). The disc may not
eject resulting in a malfunction.
 


 Dust, fi nger smudges, and dirt can
decrease the amount of light refl ected
from the signal surface, thus affecting
sound quality. If the CD should become
soiled, gently wipe it with a soft cloth
from the centre of the CD to the edge.
 


 Do not use record sprays, antistatic
agents, or household spray cleaners.
Volatile chemicals such as benzine and
thinner can also damage the surface of
the CD and must not be used. Anything
that can damage, warp, or fog plastic
should never be used to clean CDs.

*4 Also inspect the air conditioner drive belts, if installed.
If the vehicle is operated primarily under any of the following conditions, inspect the drive belts at every 20,000
km (12,500 miles) or 12 months.
a) Driving in dusty conditions
b) Extended periods of idling or low speed operation
c) Driving for long period in cold temperatures or driving regularly at short distance only
d) Driving in extremely hot conditions
e) Driving in mountainous conditions continually
*5 MZR 1.6, SKYACTIV-G 1.5, SKYACTIV-G 2.0 and SKYACTIV-D 2.2 vehicles can select fl exible setting only
some countries in Europe. Consult an Authorised Mazda Repairer for details. Flexible setting can be set if the
vehicle is operated mainly where none of the following conditions apply.
a) Purpose of vehicle use is police car, taxi or driving school car.
b) Driving in dusty conditions
c) Extended periods of idling or low speed operation
Once the fl exible maintenance is selected, the vehicle calculates the remaining oil life based on engine operating
conditions and lets you know when an oil change is due by illuminating the wrench mark in the instrument
cluster.
Replace the engine oil and fi lter when message/wrench mark is ON. And they must be changed at least once a
year or within 20,000 km (12,500 miles) since last engine oil and fi lter change.
The system must be reset whenever replacing the engine oil regardless of the message/wrench mark display.
