If you must run the engine while working under the bonnet, make certain that you remove all
jewellery (especially rings, bracelets, watches, and necklaces) and all neckties, scarves, and
similar loose clothing before getting near the engine or cooling fan which may turn on
unexpectedly:
Working under the bonnet with the engine running is dangerous. It becomes even more
dangerous when you wear jewellery, loose clothing or have long hair or a long beard.
Either can become entangled in moving parts and result in injury.
Pull over to a safe location, then switch the ignition
off and make sure the fan is not
running before attempting to work near the cooling fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. The fan could continue running
indefinitely even if the engine has stopped and the engine compartment temperature is high.
You could be hit by the fan and seriously injured.
Do not leave items in the engine compartment:
After you have finished checking or doing servicing in the engine compartment, do not forget
and leave items such as tools or rags in the engine compartment.
Tools or other items left in the engine compartment could cause engine damage or a fire
leading to an unexpected accident.

Do not use a match or live flame in the
engine compartment. DO NOT ADD
COOLANT WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT:
A hot engine is dangerous. If the engine has
been running, parts of the engine
compartment can become very hot. You
could be burned. Carefully inspect the
engine coolant in the coolant reservoir, but
do not open it.
Pull over to a safe location, then switch
the ignition off and make sure the fan is
not running before attempting to work
near the cooling fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is
running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running
indefinitely even if the
engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
Do not remove either cooling
system cap when the engine and radiator
are hot:
When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot out
under pressure and cause serious injury.
NOTE
Changing the coolant should be done by
an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.

¾To prevent damage to the wiper arms
and other components, do not try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.
¾Do not bend the blade rubber
unnecessarily when replacing it.
Otherwise, the metal stiffener in the
blade may deform and the windscreen
wiper operation may be adversely
affected.
NOTE
When raising both windscreen wiper arms,
raise the driver's side wiper arm first.
When lowering the wiper arms, slowly
lower the wiper arm from the passenger's
side first while supporting it with your
hand. Forcefully lowering the wiper arms
could damage the wiper arm and blade,
and may scratch or crack the windscreen.

NOTE
xThe paint chipping zone varies with the
speed of the vehicle. For example, when
travelling at 90 km/h (56 mph), the paint
chipping zone is 50 m (164 ft).
xIn low temperatures a vehicle's finish
hardens. This increases the chance of
paint chipping.
xChipped paint can lead to rust forming
on your Mazda. Before this happens,
repair the damage by using Mazda
touch-up paint according to the
instructions in this section. Failure to
repair the affected area could lead to
serious rusting and expensive repairs.

¾When the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
¾If the windscreen above the rain sensor
is touched or wiped with a cloth.
¾If the windscreen is struck with a hand
or other object from either outside or
inside the vehicle.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windscreen 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 windscreen,
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.

¾Do not disassemble the Mazda ERA-GLONASS. Otherwise, it could become damaged and
may not function in an emergency.
¾The Mazda ERA-GLONASS has a special built-in battery so that it can operate even if the
power supply from the vehicle is cut such as in an accident.
Heed the following cautions. If the Mazda ERA-GLONASS is not used correctly it may not
operate.
¾The built-in battery is not a rechargeable type battery. Do not attempt to recharge the
battery.
¾The built-in battery has a 3-year warranty. Have the built-in battery replaced at an
Authorised Mazda Dealer periodically.
¾If the built-in battery power is low due to natural discharge and the system determines
that there is a problem, the Mazda ERA-GLONASS cannot be used. If the system
determines that there is a problem, the indicator light (red) in the Mazda ERA-GLONASS
switch turns on to notify the driver. Have the vehicle inspected at an Authorised Mazda
Repairer. Refer to Indicator light/Beep sound on page 7-9.
NOTE
xThe Mazda ERA-GLONASS can be used when the ignition is switched ON.
xThere are two ways the Mazda ERA-GLONASS makes calls; automatically or manually.
xThe Mazda ERA-GLONASS may not make a connection under the following conditions or
depending on the use environment. If the Mazda ERA-GLONASS does not connect, make
a call from another telephone such as the nearest available public telephone.
xThe vehicle is outside of a mobile phone network area
xThe vehicle is in a weak radio wave transmission environment (such as inside tunnels,
underground parking areas, shadow of buildings, and mountain areas)
xThe vehicle does not receive an impact of a certain level or more even if an accident has
occurred.
xAn extremely serious collision occurs resulting in damage to the Mazda
ERA-GLONASS.
xThe position information cannot be obtained when signals cannot be received from the
GPS and GLONASS satellites, however, voice calls are possible.
xWhen a voice call is made by the Mazda ERA-GLONASS, the audio system is muted so
that it does not interfere with the call.
xIt may take some time for the call centre to respond after the Mazda ERA-GLONASS first
starts operating.
xIf you are unable to respond to an operator's questions after the voice call begins, the
operator may proceed with emergency procedures at their own discretion.

Route the jumper leads away from parts that will be moving:
Connecting a jumper lead near or to moving parts (cooling fans, belts) is dangerous. The lead
could get caught when the engine starts and cause serious injury.
