wrench indicator light is illuminated and
then turns off after a few seconds.
The wrench indicator light is illuminated
when the preset maintenance period
arrives. Verify the content and perform
maintenance.
Refer to Maintenance Monitor on page
6-15 .
SKYACTIV-D 1.5
The wrench indicator light turns on
when the engine oil has deteriorated, is
insuffi cient
* , is around the X mark on
the oil level gauge or reaches a position
exceeding the X mark.
Check the engine oil. Refer to Inspecting
Engine Oil Level on page 6-28 .
Replace the engine oil if the wrench
indicator light does not turn off even
though the engine oil level is in the normal
range.
NOTE
  Depending on the vehicle use
conditions, the wrench indicator light
may turn on for reasons other than
the preset maintenance period.
  Whenever the engine oil is replaced,
a reset of the vehicle engine control
unit necessary.

Indicator Light (Blue)
The light illuminates continuously when
the engine coolant temperature is low and
turns off after the engine is warm.
If the low engine coolant temperature
indicator light remains illuminated after
the engine has been suffi ciently warmed
up, the temperature sensor could have a

Air-Conditioning System
Recirculated air position ()
Outside air is shut off. Air within the
vehicle is recirculated.
Outside air position (
)
Outside air is taken into the vehicle. Use
this position for normal ventilation and
heating.
WARNING
Do not use the position in cold or
rainy weather:
Using the
position in cold or rainy
weather is dangerous as it will cause
the windows to fog up. Your vision will
be hampered, which could lead to a
serious accident.
Heating
1. Set the mode selector dial to the
position.
2. (Type A)
Set the air intake selector to the outside
air position.
(Type B)
Set the air intake selector to the
position.
3. Set the temperature control dial to the
hot position.
4. Set the fan control dial to the desired
speed.
5. If dehumidifi ed heating is desired, turn
on the air conditioner.
NOTE
  If the windscreen fogs up easily, set
the mode selector dial to the
position.  If cooler air is desired at face level,
set the mode selector dial to the
position and adjust the temperature
control dial to maintain maximum
comfort.
  The air to the fl oor is warmer than
air to the face (except when the
temperature control dial is set at the
extreme hot or cold position).
Cooling (With air conditioner)
1. Set the mode selector dial to the
position.
2. Set the temperature control dial to the
cold position.
3. Set the fan control dial to the desired
speed.
4. Turn on the air conditioner by pressing
the A/C switch.
5. After cooling begins, adjust the fan
control dial and temperature control
dial as needed to maintain maximum
comfort.
CAUTION
If the air conditioner is used while
driving up long hills or in heavy traffi c,
monitor the engine coolant temperature
warning light to see if it is illuminated or
fl ashing (page 4-36 ).
The air conditioner may cause engine
overheating. If the warning light is
illuminated or fl ashing, turn the air
conditioning off (page 7-29 ).

Improper or incomplete service may result in problems. This section gives instructions only
for items that are easy to perform.
As explained in the Introduction (page 6-2 ), several procedures can be done only by a
qualifi ed service technician with special tools.
Improper do-it yourself maintenance during the warranty period may affect warranty
coverage. For details, read the separate Mazda Warranty statement provided with the
vehicle. If you are unsure about any servicing or maintenance procedure, have it done by an
expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
There are strict environmental laws regarding the disposal of waste oil and fl uids. Please
dispose of your waste properly and with due regard to the environment.
We recommend that you entrust the oil and fl uid changes of your vehicle to an Authorised

Engine Coolant
Inspecting Coolant Level
WARNING
Do not use a match or live fl ame in the
engine compartment. DO NOT ADD
COOLANT WHEN THE ENGINE IS
HOT:
A hot engine is dangerous. If the
engine has been running, parts of the
engine compartment can become very
hot. You could be burned. Carefully
inspect the engine coolant in the
coolant reservoir, but do not open it.
Switch the ignition to off and
make sure the fan is not running
before attempting to work near the
cooling fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it
is running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefi nitely even if
the engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
Do not remove either
cooling system cap when the engine
and radiator are hot:
When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot
out under pressure and cause serious
injury.
NOTE
Changing the coolant should be done
by an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Inspect the antifreeze protection and
coolant level in the coolant reservoir at
least once a year—at the beginning of
the winter season—and before travelling
where temperatures may drop below
freezing.
Inspect the condition and connections of
all cooling system and heater hoses.
Replace any that are swollen or
deteriorated.
The coolant should be at full in the
radiator and between the F or FULL and
L marks on the coolant reservoir when the
engine is cool.
