Fuses
Your vehicle's electrical system is
protected by fuses.

If any lights, accessories, or controls do
not work, inspect the appropriate circuit
protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside
element will be melted.

If the same fuse blows again, avoid using
that system and consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer as soon as possible.
Fuse Replacement
Replacing the fuses on the vehicle's left
side
If the electrical system does not work, ¿ rst
inspect the fuses on the vehicle's left side.


1. Make sure the ignition is switched off,
and other switches are off.
2. Open the fuse panel cover.

3. Pull the fuse straight out with the
fuse puller provided on the fuse block
located in the engine compartment.


4. Inspect the fuse and replace it if it is
blown.

NormalBlown

5. Insert a new fuse of the same amperage
rating, and make sure it ¿ ts tightly. If
it does not ¿ t tightly, have an expert
install it. We recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow one
of the same rating from a circuit not
essential to vehicle operation, such as
the AUDIO or OUTLET circuit.
CAUTION
Always replace a fuse with a genuine
Mazda fuse or equivalent of the same
rating. Otherwise you may damage the
electric system.
6. Reinstall the cover and make sure that
it is securely installed.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
CAUTION
  Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, or strong detergents
containing highly alkaline or caustic
agents on chrome-plated or anodised
aluminium parts. This may damage
the protective coating; also, cleaners
and detergents may discolour or
deteriorate the paint.
 
 (With detachable aerial)  To prevent damaging the aerial,
remove it before entering a car wash
facility or passing beneath a low
overhead clearance.
Pay special attention to removing salt, dirt,
mud, and other foreign material from the
underside of the wings, and make sure the
drain holes in the lower edges of the doors
and rocker panels are clean.

Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial fallout, and similar deposits
can damage the ¿ nish if not removed
immediately. When prompt washing with
plain water is ineffective, use a mild soap
made for use on vehicles.

Thoroughly rinse off all soap with
lukewarm or cold water. Do not allow
soap to dry on the ¿ nish.

After washing the vehicle, dry it with a
clean chamois to prevent water spots from
forming.
WARNING
Dry off brakes that have become
wet by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the brake
performance returns to normal:
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when
braking could result in a serious
accident. Light braking will indicate
whether the brakes have been affected.
When using an automatic car wash
 




 Retract the door mirrors.



 The automatic car wash brushes could
reduce the paint lustre or hasten paint
deterioration.

When using a high water pressure car
wash
High water temperature and high water
pressure car washers are available
depending on the type of car wash
machine. If the car washer nozzle is
put too close to the vehicle, the force of
the spray could damage or deform the
molding, affect the sealability of parts,
and allow water to penetrate the interior.
Keep a suf¿ cient space (30 cm (12 in) or
more) between the nozzle and the vehicle.
In addition, do not spend too much time
spraying the same area of the vehicle, and
be very careful when spraying between
gaps in doors and around windows.

Appearance Care
Plastic Part Maintenance
 












 When cleaning the plastic lenses of
the lights, do not use petrol, paraf¿ n,
recti¿ ed spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these chemical
agents can discolour or damage the
surfaces resulting in a signi¿ cant loss
in functionality. If plastic parts become
inadvertently exposed to any of these
chemical agents, À ush with water
immediately.
 


 If plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or À uids such as petrol,
oil, engine coolant, or battery À uid, it
could cause discolouration, staining,
or paint peeling. Wipe off any such
chemical agents or À uids using a soft
cloth immediately.
 


 High water temperature and high water
pressure car washers are available
depending on the type of high pressure
car washer device. If the car washer
nozzle is put too close to the vehicle or
aimed at one area for an extended period
of time, it could deform plastic parts or
damage the paint.
 


 Do not use wax containing compounds
(polish). Otherwise, it could result in
paint damage.
 In addition, do not use an electrical or
air tool to apply wax. Otherwise, the
frictional heat generated could result
in deformation of plastic parts or paint
damage.

Interior Care
WARNING
Do not spray water into the vehicle
cabin:
Spraying water into the vehicle cabin
is dangerous as electrical devices such
as the audio and switches could get wet
resulting in a malfunction or vehicle
¿ re.
NOTE

 Do not wipe the interior using
alcohol, chlorine bleach, or organic
solvents such as thinner, benzene,
and petrol. Otherwise, it may cause
discolouration or stains.
  Rubbing hard with a stiff brush or
cloth may cause damage.
If the vehicle interior becomes soiled
by any of the following, wipe it off
immediately using a soft cloth.
Leaving it uncleaned could cause
discolouration, stains, cracks, or peeling
of the coating, and it will make it hard to
wipe off later.

cleaning the seat belts or they become
stained or bleached, there is the
possibility of them becoming weakened
and as a result, they may not function
at their full capacity which could cause
serious injury or death.
NOTE
Clean seat belts diligently if they get
dirty. Leaving them uncleaned will make
it dif¿ cult to clean them later, and it may
affect the smooth retracting of the seat
belt.

6–74
Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
*Some models.
NOTE
  Because genuine leather is a natural
material, its surface is not uniform
and it may have natural scars,
scratches, and wrinkles.
  To maintain the quality for as long
as possible, periodical maintenance,
about twice a year, is recommended.
  If the leather upholstery comes into
contact with any of the following,
clean it immediately.
 Leaving it uncleaned could cause
premature wear, mold, or stains.
 


 Sand or dirt



 Grease or oil, such as hand cream



 Alcohol, such as in cosmetic or
hair dressing items


 If the leather upholstery gets wet,
promptly remove moisture with a
dry cloth. Remaining moisture on the
surface may cause deterioration such
as hardening and shrinkage.
  Exposure to direct sunlight for long
periods may cause deterioration
and shrinkage. When parking the
car under direct sunlight for long
periods, shade the interior using
sunshades.
  Do not leave vinyl products on
the leather upholstery for long
periods. They may affect the leather
quality and colouring. If the cabin
temperature becomes hot, the vinyl
may deteriorate and adhere to the
genuine leather.
Plastic Part Maintenance
CAUTION
Do not use polishing agents.
Depending on the product ingredients,
they could cause discolouration, stains,
cracks or peeling of the coating.
Instrument Panel Top
