Brake/Clutch Fluid
Inspecting Brake/Clutch Fluid
Level
WARNING
If the brake/clutch fl uid level is low, have
the brakes inspected:
A low brake/clutch fl uid level is
dangerous.
A low level could indicate brake lining
wear or a brake system leak which
could cause the brakes to fail and lead
to an accident.

The brakes and clutch draw À uid from the
same reservoir.
Inspect the À uid level in the reservoir
regularly. It should be kept between the
MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake and clutch
linings. If it is excessively low, have
the brake/clutch system inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.


Washer Fluid
Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WARNING
Use only windshield washer fl uid or
plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fl uid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield,
aff ect your visibility, and could result in
an accident.

Using Washer Fluid Without Anti-freeze
Protection in Cold Weather:
Operating your vehicle in temperatures
below 4 degrees C (40 degrees F)
using washer fl uid without anti-freeze
protection is dangerous as it could
cause impaired windshield vision and
result in an accident. In cold weather,
always use washer fl uid with anti-
freeze protection.

N O T E
State or local regulations may restrict the
use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs),
which are commonly used as anti-freeze
agents in washer À uid. A washer À uid with
limited VOC content should be used only
if it provides adequate freeze resistance
for all regions and climates in which the
vehicle will be operated.

Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
*Some models.
Signal Warning Action to be taken


Seat Belt Warning
Light
The seat belt warning light illuminates if the driver or front passenger's seat is occupied and
the seat belt is not fastened with the ignition switched ON.
Seat belt reminder
If the vehicle is driven with the driver or front passenger's seat belt unfastened, the seat belt
warning light illuminates and a warning beep sounds.
N O T E
If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened (only when the front passenger seat
is occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the
warning light will À ash and a beep sound will be heard. After a short time, the warning light
stops À ashing, but remains illuminated, and the beep sound stops.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given period of time has elapsed, the beep sound will not
stop even if the vehicle speed falls below 20 km/h (12 mph).
N O T E
y The warning light À ashes and a beep sound will be heard for about 6 seconds if the driver's
seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is switched ON.
y If a driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened after the beep sound turns off
(warning light remains illuminated), and the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph), the
warning light À ashes and beep sound activates again.
y Placing heavy items on the front passenger seat may cause the front passenger seat belt
warning function to operate depending on the weight of the item.
y To allow the front passenger seat weight sensor to function properly, do not place and sit
on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger seat. The sensor may not function
properly because the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.
