Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and bonnet hinges and locks, should
be lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.

Make sure the bonnet's secondary latch
keeps the bonnet from opening when the
primary latch is released.
Wiper Blades
CAUTION
  Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to affect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
  To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use petrol, paraf¿ n,
paint thinner, or other solvents on or
near them.
  When the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is
switched ON, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
 


 If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is touched.
 


 If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
 


 If the windscreen is struck with a
hand or other object.
 


 If the rain sensor is struck with a
hand or other object from inside
the vehicle.
  Be careful not to pinch hands or
¿ ngers as it may cause injury, or
damage the wipers. When washing or
servicing the vehicle, make sure the
wiper lever is in the OFF position.
Contamination of either the windscreen or
the blades with foreign matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.

If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.

CAUTION
  When the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is switched
ON, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
 


 If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is touched or wiped with a
cloth.
 


 If the windscreen is struck with a
hand or other object from either
outside or inside the vehicle.
  Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windscreen when the wiper lever is
in the
position and the ignition
is switched ON as ¿ ngers could be
pinched or the wipers and wiper
blades damaged when the wipers
activate automatically.
 If you are going to clean the
windscreen, be sure the wipers are
turned off completely (when it is
most likely that the engine is left
running) this is particularly important
when clearing ice and snow.
 
 Do not spray water in the engine
compartment. Otherwise, it could
result in engine-starting problems or
damage to electrical parts.
  When washing and waxing the
vehicle, be careful not to apply
excessive force to any single area
of the vehicle roof or the aerial.
Otherwise, you could dent the
vehicle or damage the aerial. To help protect the ¿ nish from rust
and deterioration, wash your Mazda
thoroughly and frequently, at least once a
month, with lukewarm or cold water.

If the vehicle is washed improperly, the
paint surface could be scratched. Here are
some examples of how scratching could
occur.

Scratches occur on the paint surface when:
 


 The vehicle is washed without ¿ rst
rinsing off dirt and other foreign matter.
 


 The vehicle is washed with a rough, dry,
or dirty cloth.
 


 The vehicle is washed at a car wash that
uses brushes that are dirty or too stiff.
 


 Cleansers or wax containing abrasives
are used.

NOTE
  Mazda is not responsible for
scratches caused by automatic car
washes or improper washing.
  Scratches are more noticeable on
vehicles with darker paint ¿ nishes.
To minimize scratches on the vehicle's
paint ¿ nish:




 Rinse off any dirt or other foreign matter
using lukewarm or cold water before
washing.
 


 Use plenty of lukewarm or cold water
and a soft cloth when washing the
vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth.
 


 Rub gently when washing or drying the
vehicle.
 


 Take your vehicle only to a car wash
that keeps its brushes well maintained.
 


 Do not use abrasive cleansers or wax
that contain abrasives.
