▼Inspecting Electrolyte Level
A low level of electrolyte fluid will cause
the battery to discharge quickly.
 
Upper level
Lower level
Inspect the electrolyte  level at least once a
week. If it is low, re move the caps and add
enough distilled water to bring the level
between the upper and lower level
(illustration).
 
Do not overfill.
Examine the specific gravity of the
electrolyte with a hydrometer, especially
during cold weather. If it is low, recharge
the battery.
▼ Battery Recharging
NOTE
•Before performing maintenance or
recharging the battery, turn off all
accessories and stop the engine.
•To disconnect the battery, remove the
negative lead first. Install it last when
connecting the battery.
•Be sure to remove the caps before
recharging the battery.
•(With i-stop system)
Do not quick-charge the battery.
•If the battery quickly discharges
because, for example, the lights were
left on too long with the engine off,
slow-charge it as required by battery
size and charger capacity.
•If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load while the
vehicle is being used, recharge it as
required by battery
 size and charger
capacity.

Never touch the glass portion of a halogen
bulb with your bare hands and always
wear eye protection when handling or
working around the bulbs:
When a halogen bulb breaks, it is
dangerous. These bulbs contain
pressurised gas. If one is broken, it will
explode and serious injuries could be
caused by the 
flying glass.
If the glass portion is touched with bare
hands, body oil could cause the bulb to
overheat and explode when lit.
Always keep halogen bulbs out of the reach
of children:
Playing with a halogen bulb is dangerous.
Serious injuries could be caused by
dropping a halogen bulb or breaking it
some other way.
CAUTION
When removing the lens or lamp unit using
a flathead screwdriver, make sure that the
flathead screwdriver does not contact the
interior terminal. If the flathead screwdriver
contacts the terminal, a short circuit may
occur.
NOTE
•To replace the bulb, contact an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
•If the halogen bulb is accidentally
touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used.
•Use the protective cover and carton for
the replacement bulb to dispose of the
old bulb promptly and out of the reach
of children.
