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 Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
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.

Replacing the fuses under the hood
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the fuses
in the cabin are normal, inspect the fuse
block under the hood. If a fuse is blown, it
must be replaced. Follow these steps:


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


3. If any fuse but the MAIN fuse is
blown, replace it with a new one of the
same amperage rating .

CAUTION
 


¾ When the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
 


¾ If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched or wiped with a
cloth.
 


¾ If the windshield is struck with a hand
or other object from either outside or
inside the vehicle.
  Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windshield when the wiper lever is in the

position and the ignition is
switched ON as fi ngers could be pinched
or the wipers and wiper blades damaged
when the wipers activate automatically.
  If you are going to clean the windshield,
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.
 


¾ Do not spray water in the engine
compartment. Otherwise, it could result
in engine-starting problems or damage
to electrical parts.
 


¾ When washing and waxing the vehicle,
be careful not to apply excessive force to
any single area of the vehicle roof or the
antenna. Otherwise, you could dent the
vehicle or damage the antenna.

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:
 


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


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


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


y Cleansers or wax containing abrasives
are used.

N O T E
 


y Mazda is not responsible for scratches
caused by automatic car washes or
improper washing.
 


y Scratches are more noticeable on
vehicles with darker paint ¿ nishes.

To minimize scratches on the vehicle's
paint ¿ nish:




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


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


y Rub gently when washing or drying the
vehicle.
 


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


y Do not use abrasive cleansers or wax
that contain abrasives.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
Plastic Part Maintenance
 












y When cleaning the plastic lenses of the
lights, do not use gasoline, kerosene,
recti¿ ed spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these chemical
agents can discolor 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.
 


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


y 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.
 


y Do not use wax containing compounds
(polish). Otherwise, it could result in
paint damage.
 


y 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 fi re.

N O T E
 


y Do not wipe the interior using alcohol,
chlorine bleach, or organic solvents
such as thinner, benzene, and gasoline.
Otherwise, it may cause discoloration
or stains.
 


y 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
discoloration, stains, cracks, or peeling
of the coating, and it will make it hard to
wipe off later.
 


y Beverage or fragrance



y Grease or oil



y Soiling
Seat Belt Maintenance
1. Clean the soiled area by lightly dabbing
it with a soft cloth soaked in a mild
detergent (approx. 5%) diluted with
water.
2. Wipe off the remaining detergent using
a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.
3. Before retracting seat belts which have
been pulled out for cleaning, dry them
off thoroughly and make sure there is
no remaining moisture on them.

Flat Tire
Changing a Flat Tire
N O T E
If the following occurs while driving, it
could indicate a À at tire.




y Steering becomes dif¿ cult.



y The vehicle begins to vibrate
excessively.
 


y The vehicle pulls in one direction.
If you have a À at tire, drive slowly to a
level spot that is well off the road and out
of the way of traf¿ c to change the tire.
Stopping in traf¿ c or on the shoulder of a
busy road is dangerous.
WARNING
Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tire:
Changing a tire is dangerous if not
done properly. The vehicle can slip off
the jack and seriously injure someone.
No person should place any portion
of their body under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.

Never allow anyone inside a vehicle
supported by a jack:
Allowing someone to remain in
a vehicle supported by a jack is
dangerous. The occupant could cause
the vehicle to fall resulting in serious
injury.

N O T E
Make sure the jack is well lubricated
before using it.

1. Park on a level surface off the right-of-
way and ¿ rmly set the parking brake.
2. Shift into Park (P) and turn off the
engine.
3. Turn on the hazard warning À asher.
4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle
and away from the vehicle and traf¿ c.
5. Remove the jack, tool, and spare tire
(page 7-3 ).
6. Block the wheel diagonally opposite
the À at tire. When blocking a wheel,
place a tire block both in front and
behind the tire.


N O T E
When blocking a tire, use rocks or wood
blocks of suf¿ cient size if possible to hold
the tire in place.
