Maintenance and Care
Essential Information
I n t r o d u c t i o n
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 dif¿ cult to see while inspecting or working on your vehicle. Doing inspections 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¿ ed service shop perform the work, preferably an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Factory-trained Mazda technicians and genuine Mazda parts are best for your vehicle.
Without this expertise and the parts that have been designed and made especially for your
Mazda, inadequate, incomplete, and insuf¿ 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 your responsibility to
properly maintain your vehicle according to factory recommended schedules 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:
 


y The Mazda Scheduled Maintenance Record, refer to the Warranty Booklet, must be
completely ¿ lled out showing mileage, repair order number, date for each service, and
signed by a quali¿ ed automotive service technician who service vehicles.




y Original copies of repair orders or other receipts that include the mileage and date the
vehicle was serviced. Each receipt should be signed by a quali¿ ed automotive service
technician.
 


y For self maintenance, a statement that you completed the maintenance yourself,
displaying mileage and the date the work was performed. Also, receipts for the
replacement parts (À uid, ¿ lters, etc.) indicating the date and mileage must accompany this
statement.


N O T E
If you elect to perform maintenance yourself or have your vehicle serviced at a location
other than an Authorized Mazda Dealer, Mazda requires that all À uids, parts and materials
must meet Mazda standards for durability and performance as described in this manual.
