*2 If the vehicle is operated in very dusty or sandy areas, clean and if necessary, replace the air fi lter more often
than the recommended intervals.
*3 Implement the fuel injection amount correction.
*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.

*7 For SKYACTIV-D 2.2, reset the engine oil data after replacing the engine oil.
*8 Use of FL-22 is recommended when replacing engine coolant. Using engine coolant other than FL-22 may
cause serious damage to the engine and cooling system.
*9 Inspect the battery electrolyte level, specifi c gravity and outer appearance.
*10 If the brakes are used extensively (for example, continuous hard driving or mountain driving) or if the vehicle
is operated in extremely humid climates, replace the brake fl uid annually.
*11 Tyre rotation is recommended every 10,000 km (6,250 miles).
*12 The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) initialization must be performed so that the system operates
normally (if equipped).
*13 Check the tyre repair fl uid expiration date every year when performing the periodic maintenance. Replace the
tyre repair fl uid bottle with new one before the expiration date.

hot and cold areas, inspect the battery electrolyte level, specifi c gravity and appearance every 10,000 km (6,250
miles) or 6 months. The sealed battery only requires an outer appearance inspection.
*9 If the brakes are used extensively (for example, continuous hard driving or mountain driving) or if the vehicle is
operated in extremely humid climates, replace the brake fl uid annually.

NOTE
(MZR 1.6, SKYACTIV-G 1.5 and SKYACTIV-G 2.0)
 
 It is normal for all engines to consume engine oil under normal driving conditions.  Engine oil consumption may be as high as 0.8 L/1000 km (1 L/800 miles). This may
be as a result of evaporation, internal ventilation or burning of the lubricating oil in
the working engine. Oil consumption may be higher when the engine is new due to
the running-in process. Oil consumption is also dependant on engine speed and engine
load. Under extreme driving conditions, oil consumption may be higher.
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
 
 Whenever the engine oil is replaced, the vehicles engine control unit needs to be
reset as soon as possible. Otherwise the wrench indicator light or engine oil warning
light may turn on. To reset the engine control unit, consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer or refer to the vehicle engine control unit
reset procedure on page 6-28 .
  Inspect the engine oil level periodically. When inspecting the engine oil, if the engine
oil level is exceeds the “X” mark on the dipstick, replace the engine oil. This should
be done by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer. When
replacing the engine oil, inspect the oil level using the oil dipstick and refi ll so that the
engine oil level is within the range between Full to Low as shown in the fi gure.

Vehicle Engine Control Unit Reset Procedure
NOTE
This procedure is intended for vehicles with SKYACTIV-D 2.2 and vehicles with
SKYACTIV-G 1.5 or SKYACTIV-G 2.0 which the engine oil fl exible maintenance setting
is selected.
After replacing the engine oil, have a repair shop such as an Authorised Mazda Repairer
perform the initialization (engine oil data resetting) of the recorded value. If the value
recorded by the computer is not initialized, the wrench indicator light may not turn off or it
may turn on earlier than normal.
NOTE
The initialization (engine oil data resetting) of the recorded value can be performed using
the following procedure:
1. Switch the ignition OFF.
2. Switch the ignition ON with the selector pressed, and press and hold the selector for
about 5 seconds until the master warning light
fl ashes. 
Selector
3. After the master warning light fl ashes for several seconds, the initialization is
completed.
