Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
Engine oil viscosity, or thickness, has an effect on fuel economy and cold-weather operation
(starting and oil fl ow).
Low-viscosity engine oils can provide improved fuel economy and cold-weather
performance.
When choosing an oil, consider the temperature range your vehicle will operate in before
the next oil change.
Then select the recommended viscosity from the chart above.
CAUTION
  Using oils of viscosity besides those recommended for specifi c temperature ranges
could result in engine damage.
 
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2) SKYACTIV-D 2.2 uses specifi ed oil. Please confi rm the specifi cation in owner's
manual.If engine oil other than the specifi ed oil is used, the Diesel Particulate
Filter effective period of use will be shortened or the Diesel Particulate Filter may
be damaged.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
Plastic Part Maintenance
 












 When cleaning the plastic lenses of
the lights, do not use petrol, paraffi n,
rectifi ed spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these chemical
agents can discolour or damage the
surfaces resulting in a signifi cant loss
in functionality. If plastic parts become
inadvertently exposed to any of these
chemical agents, fl ush with water
immediately.
 


 If plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or fl uids such as petrol,
oil, engine coolant, or battery fl uid, it
could cause discolouration, staining,
or paint peeling. Wipe off any such
chemical agents or fl uids using a soft
cloth immediately.
 


 High water temperature and high water
pressure car washers are available
depending on the type of high pressure
car washer device. If the car washer
nozzle is put too close to the vehicle or
aimed at one area for an extended period
of time, it could deform plastic parts or
damage the paint.
 


 Do not use wax containing compounds
(polish). Otherwise, it could result in
paint damage.
 


 In addition, do not use an electrical or
air tool to apply wax. Otherwise, the
frictional heat generated could result
in deformation of plastic parts or paint
damage.
Interior Care
WARNING
Do not spray water in the cabin:
Splashing water on electrical parts
such as the audio unit and switches
is dangerous as it could cause a
malfunction or a fi re.
Instrument panel Precautions
Prevent caustic solutions such as perfume
and cosmetic oils from contacting the
instrument panel. They will damage and
discolour the instrument panel. If these
solutions get on the instrument panel, wipe
them off immediately.
CAUTION
Do not use glazing agents.
Glazing agents contain ingredients
which may cause discolouration,
wrinkling, cracks and peeling.
Instrument panel top (soft pad)
 




 Extremely soft material is used for the
soft pad surface. When cleaning, it is
recommended that you use a clean towel
dampened in a mild detergent to remove
soiling.
 


 If the soft pad surface is rubbed harshly,
it could result in the surface being
damaged leaving white scratch marks.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
Cleaning the Upholstery and
Interior Trim
Vinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean vinyl with a leather-and-vinyl
cleaner.
Leather
*
Remove dust and sand fi rst using a
vacuum cleaner or other means, then wipe
dirt off using a soft cloth with a leather
cleaner or a soft cloth soaked in mild soap.
Wipe off the remaining cleaner or soap
using a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.
Remove moisture with a dry, soft cloth
and allow the leather to further dry in a
well-ventilated, shaded area. If the leather
gets wet such as from rain, also remove
moisture and dry it as soon as possible.
NOTE
  Because genuine leather is a natural
material, its surface is not uniform
and it may have natural scars,
scratches, and wrinkles.
  To maintain the quality for as long
as possible, periodical maintenance,
about twice a year, is recommended.
  Sand and dust on the seat surface
may damage the overcoat of the
genuine leather surfaces and
accelerate wear.
  Greasy soiling on genuine leather
may cause molding and stains.
  Rubbing hard with a stiff brush or
cloth may cause damage.
NOTE
  Do not wipe the leather using
alcohol, chlorine bleach, or organic
solvents such as thinner, benzene,
or petrol. Otherwise, it may cause
discolouration or stains.
  If the seats get wet, promptly remove
moisture with a dry cloth. Remaining
moisture on the surface may cause
deterioration such as hardening and
shrinkage.
  Exposure to direct sunlight for long
periods may cause deterioration
and shrinkage. When parking the
car under direct sunlight for long
periods, shade the interior using
sunshades.
  Do not leave vinyl products on
the seats for long periods as they
may affect the leather quality and
colouring. If the cabin temperature
becomes hot, the vinyl may
deteriorate and adhere to the genuine
leather.
Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean it with a mild soap solution good
for upholstery and carpets. Remove fresh
spots immediately with a fabric spot
cleaner.
To keep the fabric looking clean and fresh,
take care of it. Otherwise its colour will
be affected, it can be stained easily, and its
fi re-resistance may be reduced.

2. Mount the spare tyre.
3. Install the wheel nuts with the bevelled
edge inward; tighten them by hand.
WARNING
Do not apply oil or grease to wheel
nuts and bolts and do not tighten the
wheel nuts beyond the recommended
tightening torque:
Applying oil or grease to wheel nuts
and bolts is dangerous. The wheel nuts
could loosen while driving and cause
the tyre to come off, resulting in an
accident. In addition, wheel nuts and
bolts could be damaged if tightened
more than necessary. 4. Turn the wheel brace anticlockwise and
lower the vehicle. Use the wheel brace
to tighten the nuts in the order shown.
If you are unsure of how tight the nuts
should be, have them inspected at an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
