Driving Tips
Break-In Period
No special break-in is necessary, but a
few precautions in the fi rst 1,000 km
(600 miles) may add to the performance,
economy, and life of the vehicle.
   Do not race the engine.  Do not maintain one constant speed,
either slow or fast, for a long period of
time.
   Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or
high engine rpm for extended periods of
time.
   Avoid unnecessary hard stops.  Avoid full-throttle starts.  Do not tow a trailer.
Saving Fuel and Protection
of the Environment
How you operate your Mazda determines
how far it will travel on a tank of fuel. Use
these suggestions to help save fuel and
reduce CO
2 .   Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine
runs smoothly, begin driving.
   Avoid fast starts.  Drive at lower speeds.  Anticipate when to apply the brakes
(avoid sudden braking).
   Follow the maintenance schedule
(page 6-4 ) and have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer perform inspections and
servicing.
   Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
   Slow down on rough roads.  Keep the tires properly in fl ated.   Do not carry unnecessary weight.  Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal
while driving.
   Keep the wheels in correct alignment.  Keep windows closed at high speeds.  Slow down when driving in crosswinds
and headwinds.

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.

Towing
Parking
Always make sure the tires of the trailer and the tow vehicle are blocke\
d while parked.
Apply the parking brake fi 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.
 If the grade is downhill, turn the steering wheel so that the front of t\
he front tires face the curb.
 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
Introduction
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 diffi cult to see while inspecting or working on your vehicle. Doing inspectio\
ns 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 fi ed service shop perform the work, preferably an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Factory-trained Mazda technicians and genuine Mazda parts are best for y\
our vehicle.
Without this expertise and the parts that have been designed and made esp\
ecially for your
Mazda, inadequate, incomplete, and insuf fi 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 yo\
ur responsibility to
properly maintain your vehicle according to factory recommended schedule\
s 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:
   The Mazda Scheduled Maintenance Record, refer to the Warranty Booklet, must be
completely fi lled out showing mileage, repair order number, date for each service, and
signed by a quali fi ed automotive service technician who service vehicles.
   Original copies of repair orders or other receipts that include the mile\
age and date the
vehicle was serviced. Each receipt should be signed by a quali fi ed automotive service
technician.
   For self maintenance, a statement that you completed the maintenance you\
rself,
displaying mileage and the date the work was performed. Also, receipts for the
replacement parts ( fl uid, fi lters, etc.) indicating the date and mileage must accompany this
statement.


NOTE
If you elect to perform maintenance yourself or have your vehicle servic\
ed at a location
other than an Authorized Mazda Dealer, Mazda requires that all fl uids, parts and materials
must meet Mazda standards for durability and performance as described in this manual.

The vehicle calculates the remaining oil life based on engine operating \
conditions. The
vehicle lets you know when an oil change is due by illuminating the wren\
ch indicator light
in the instrument cluster. Change the oil as soon as possible within the next 1000 km
(600 mile) or 15 days. Refer page 6-16 for the details.
