Saving Fuel and
Protection
of the Environment

how far it will travel on a tank of fuel. Use
these suggestions to help save fuel and
reduce CO2.
 


y Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine
runs smoothly, begin driving.
 


y Avoid fast starts.



y Drive at lower speeds.



y Anticipate when to apply the brakes
(avoid sudden braking).

WARNING
Never stop the engine when going down
a hill:
Stopping the engine when going
down a hill is dangerous. This causes
the loss of power steering and power
brake control, and may cause damage
to the drivetrain. Any loss of steering
or braking control could cause an
accident.

Driving Tips
Turbocharger Information
CAUTION
 


¾ After driving at freeway speeds or up a long hill, idle the engine at least 30 seconds before
stopping it. Otherwise, the turbocharger could be damaged.
 


¾ Racing or over-revving the engine, particularly after it's just been started, can damage the
turbocharger.
 


¾ To protect the engine from damage, the engine is designed so that it cannot be raced just
after starting it in extremely cold weather.

The turbocharger greatly enhances engine power. Its advanced design provides improved
operation and requires minimum maintenance.

To get the most from it, observe the following.

1. Change engine oil and ¿ lter according to Scheduled Maintenance (page 6-4 ).
2. Use only recommended engine oil (page 6-26 ). Extra additives are NOT
recommended.

Parking
Always make sure the tires of the trailer and the tow vehicle are blocked while parked.
Apply the parking brake ¿ rmly and put the transaxle in P.
Avoid parking on an incline, but if you must, follow these instructions:
1. Depress and hold down the brake pedal.
2. Have a helper put wheel blocks against the downhill side of all vehicle and trailer tires.
3. Then release the brake pedal slowly until the blocks bear the load.
 

y
 If the grade is downhill, turn the steering wheel so that the front of the front tires face
the curb.
 

y
 If it is uphill, face the rear of the front tires against the curb.
4. Firmly apply the parking brake.
5. Shift the transaxle into P, and stop the engine.

To restart after parking on an incline:
1. With the transaxle in P, start the engine. (Be sure to depress and hold the brake pedal.)
2. Shift into gear.
3. Release the parking brake (also the foot brake) and pull away from the wheel blocks.
Stop; apply the parking brake and shift into P.
4. Have a helper retrieve the wheel blocks.

Fuel consumption
Trailer towing causes higher fuel consumption.
Maintenance
If you tow a trailer frequently, have your vehicle serviced as shown in Scheduled
Maintenance (page 6-4 ).

Maintenance and Care
Essential Information
I n t r o d u c t i o n
Be careful not to hurt yourself when inspecting your vehicle, replacing a tire, or doing some
kind of maintenance such as car washing.
In particular, wear thick work gloves such as cotton gloves when touching areas that
are dif¿ cult to see while inspecting or working on your vehicle. Doing inspections or
procedures with your bare hands could cause injury.

If you are unsure about any procedure it describes, we strongly urge you to have a reliable
and quali¿ ed service shop perform the work, preferably an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Factory-trained Mazda technicians and genuine Mazda parts are best for your vehicle.
Without this expertise and the parts that have been designed and made especially for your
Mazda, inadequate, incomplete, and insuf¿ cient servicing may result in problems. This
could lead to vehicle damage or an accident and injuries.

For expert advice and quality service, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

To continue warranty eligibility and to protect your investment, it is your responsibility to
properly maintain your vehicle according to factory recommended schedules outlined in this
manual. As part of this you must keep your maintenance records, receipts, repair orders and
any other documents as evidence this maintenance was performed. You must present these
documents, should any warranty coverage disagreement occur. Failure to do so can result in
your warranty being voided either in whole or in part.

This evidence may consist of the following:
 


y The Mazda Scheduled Maintenance Record, refer to the Warranty Booklet, must be
completely ¿ lled out showing mileage, repair order number, date for each service, and
signed by a quali¿ ed automotive service technician who service vehicles.




y Original copies of repair orders or other receipts that include the mileage and date the
vehicle was serviced. Each receipt should be signed by a quali¿ ed automotive service
technician.
 


y For self maintenance, a statement that you completed the maintenance yourself,
displaying mileage and the date the work was performed. Also, receipts for the
replacement parts (À uid, ¿ lters, etc.) indicating the date and mileage must accompany this
statement.


N O T E
If you elect to perform maintenance yourself or have your vehicle serviced at a location
other than an Authorized Mazda Dealer, Mazda requires that all À uids, parts and materials
must meet Mazda standards for durability and performance as described in this manual.
