6 –32 Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir; add fluid if necessary.
Use plain water if washer fluid is
unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold weather
to prevent it from freezing. Body Lubrication All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood 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 hood's secondary latch
keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.

6 –61 Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care Maintaining the FinishWashing
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 windshield above the rain
sensor is touched or wiped with a
cloth. 
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 fingers 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. 
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 hood.
Otherwise, you could dent the vehicle. 
Do not use automatic car washing
machines and car washing devices using
high water pressure. 
Make sure that the fuel lid is closed
and lock the doors. Otherwise, the fuel
lid may be forcefully opened by water
pressure causing damage to the vehicle
or fuel lid.
To help protect the finish 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 first
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 finishes.

once and then continues for about 90
seconds. The beep stops after the driver or
passenger's seat belt is fastened.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given
period of time has elapsed, the beep sound
will not stop even if the vehicle speed falls
below 20 km/h (12 mph). NOTE 
Placing heavy items on the passenger's
seat may cause the passenger's seat belt
warning function to operate depending
on the weight of the item. 
To allow the passenger seat weight
sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion
on the passenger's seat. The sensor
may not function properly because the
additional seat cushion could cause
sensor interference. 

passenger's seat, the warning beep may
not operate.
