Starting a Flooded Engine
If the engine fails to start, it may be
flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).
Follow this procedure:
1. If the engine does not start within fiveseconds on the first try, switch the
ignition off, wait ten seconds and try
again.
2. Make sure the parking brake is on.
3. Depress the accelerator all the way and hold it there.
4. Depress the clutch pedal (Manual transaxle) or the brake pedal
(Automatic transaxle).
5. Switch the ignition to START and hold it there ―for up to ten seconds. If the
engine starts, release the key and
accelerator immediately because the
engine will suddenly rev up.
6. If the engine fails to start, crank it without depressing the accelerator ―for
up to ten seconds.
If the engine still does not start using the
above procedure, have your vehicle
inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

Towing Description
We recommend that towing be done only
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing are necessary to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
Government and local laws must be
followed.
A towed vehicle usually should have its
drive wheels (front wheels) off the
ground. If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent this, use wheel dollies.
Wheel dollies
When towing with the rear wheels on the
ground, release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Do not tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the transaxle.
CAUTION
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. This could damage your
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed
equipment.

Automatic Transaxle Fluid
(ATF)
í
qInspecting 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
reinsert it.
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.
CAUTION
If there is no ATF adhering to the
dipstick even after the engine has
been warmed up, do not drive the
vehicle. Otherwise, the automatic
transaxle could be damaged.
6. With the brake pedal depressed, shift the shift lever from the park position
(P) to drive position (D) at intervals of
several seconds, and then shift to the
park position (P) again.
7. Drive 5 km (4 mile) or more in a city.
8. Park on a level surface, shift the shift lever to the park position (P) and set
the parking brake firmly.
9. While the engine is still idling, pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean, and then
reinsert it.
10. Check the ATF level. The proper fluid level indicated on the dipstick should
be as follows.
