Tires
For reasons of proper performance, safety,
and better fuel economy, always maintain
recommended tire inflation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits
and weight distribution.
WA R N I N G
Using Different Tire Types:
Driving your vehicle with different types of
tires is dangerous. It could cause poor
handling and poor braking; leading to loss
of control.
Except for the limited use of the temporary
spare tire, use only the same type tires
(radial, bias-belted, bias-type) on all four
wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tires:
Using any other tire size than what is
specified for the vehicle (page 9-7) is
dangerous. It could seriously affect ride,
handling, ground clearance, tire clearance,
and speedometer calibration. This could
cause you to have an accident. Use only
tires that are the correct size specified for
the vehicle.
▼ Tire Inflation Pressure
WA R N I N G
Always
inflate the tires to the correct
pressure:
Overinflation or underinflation of tires is
dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tire failure could result in a
serious accident.
Refer to Tires on page 9-7.

Interior Care
WA R N I N G
Do not spray water into the vehicle cabin:
Spraying water into the vehicle cabin is
dangerous as electrical devices such as the
audio and switches could get wet resulting
in a malfunction or vehicle fire.
NOTE
•Do not wipe the interior using alcohol,
chlorine bleach, or organic solvents
such as thinner, benzene, and gasoline.
Otherwise, it may cause discoloration or
stains.
•Rubbing hard with a stiff brush or cloth
may cause damage.
If the vehicle interio r becomes soiled by
any of the following, wipe it off
immediately using a soft cloth.
Leaving it uncleaned could cause
discoloration, stains, cracks, or peeling of
the coating, and it will make it hard to
wipe off later.
•Beverage or fragrance
•Grease or oil
•Soiling
▼ Seat Belt Maintenance
1. Clean the soiled area by lightly
dabbing it with a soft cloth soaked in a
mild detergent (approx. 5%) diluted
with water.
2. Wipe off the remaining detergent using a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.
3. Before retracting se at belts which have
been pulled ou t for cleaning, dry them
off thoroughly and make sure there is
no remaining moisture on them.
WA R N I N G
If a seat belt appears frayed or has
abrasions, have it replaced by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer:
If a seat belts is used under such a
condition, it cannot function at its full
capacity which could result in serious injury
or death.
Use a mild detergent to remove soiling
from a seat belt:
If organic solvents are used for cleaning the
seat belts or they become stained or
bleached, there is the possibility of them
becoming weakened and as a result, they
may not function at their full capacity
which could cause serious injury or death.
NOTE
Clean seat belts diligently if they get dirty.
Leaving them uncleaned will make it
difficult to clean them later, and it may
affect the smooth retracting of the seat
belt.

Route the jumper cables away from parts that will be moving:
Connecting a jumper cable near or to moving parts (cooling fans, belts) is dangerous. The
cable could get caught when the engine starts and cause serious injury.
CAUTION
Use only a 12 V booster system. You can damage a 12 V starter, ignition system, and other
electrical parts beyond repair with a 24 V power supply (two 12 V batteries in series or a 24 V
motor generator set).
Booster batteryDischarged battery
Jumper cables
Connect cables in numerical order
and disconnect in reverse order.
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Make sure the booster battery is 12 Vand that its negative terminal is
grounded.
3. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not allow both vehicles to
touch. Turn off the engine of the

Event Data Recorder (U.S.A. and Canada)
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is
to record, in certain crash or ne ar crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicl e dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or les s. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
•How various systems in you r vehicle were operating;
•Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckl ed/fastened;
•How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
•How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circu mstances in which crashes
and injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial cra sh or near crash-like situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving co nditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, an d crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired du ring a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or
the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, oth er parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the info rmation if they have access
to the vehicle or the EDR.

Mazda will not disclose any of the data recorded in an EDR to a third party unless:
•A written agreement from the vehicle owner or the lessee is obtained
•Officially requested by the police or other law enforcement authorities
•Used as a defense for Mazda in a lawsuit, claim, or arbitration
•Ordered by a judge or court
However, if necessary Mazda will:
•Use the data for research on Mazda vehicle performance, includi ng safety.
•Disclose the data or the summarized data to a third party for research purposes without
disclosing vehicle or owner identification information.
