Add-On Non-GenuineParts and Accessories
▼ Add-On Non-Genuine Parts and
Accessories
Non-genuine parts a
nd accessories for
Mazda vehicles can be found in stores.
These may fit your vehicle, but they are
not approved by Mazda for use with
Mazda vehicles. When you install
non-genuine parts or accessories, they
could affect your vehicle's performance or
safety systems; the Mazda warranty
doesn't cover this. Before you install any
non-genuine parts or accessories, consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
WA R N I N G
Always consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer before you install non-genuine parts
or accessories:
Improperly designed parts or accessories
could seriously affect your vehicle's
performance or safety systems. This could
cause you to have an accident or increase
your chances of injuries in an accident.
Be very careful in choosing and installing
add-on electrical equipment, such as
mobile telephones, two-way radios, stereo
systems, and car alarm systems:
Incorrectly choosing or installing improper
add-on equipment or choosing an
improper installer is dangerous. Essential
systems could be damaged, causing engine
stalling, air-bag (SRS) activation,
ABS/TCS/DSC inactivation, or a fire in the
vehicle.
Mazda assumes no responsibility for
death, injury, or expenses that may result
from the installa tion of add-on
non-genuine parts or accessories.

GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) is the
Vehicle Curb Weight + cargo +
passengers.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
is the maximum allowable weight of the
fully loaded vehicle (including all options,
equipment, passengers and cargo). The

on the driver's door frame or door
pillar. The GVW must never exceed the

SAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Never Exceed Axle Weight Rating Limits:
Exceeding the Safety Certification Label
axle weight rating limits is dangerous and
could result in death or serious injury as a
result of substandard vehicle handling,
performance, engine, transmission and/or
structural damage, serious damage to the
vehicle, or loss of control.
Always keep the vehicle within the axle
weight rating limits.
GCW
GCW (Gross Combination Weight) is
the weight of the loaded vehicle (GVW).
GCWR (Gross Comb ination Weight
Rating) is the maximum allowable weight
of the vehicle - including all cargo and
passengers - that the vehicle can handle
without risking damage. The GCW must
never exceed the GCWR.
WA R N I N G
Never Exceed GVWR or GAWR
Specifications:
Exceeding the GVWR or the GAWR specified
on the certification label is dangerous.
Exceeding any vehicle rating limitation
could result in a serious accident, injury, or
damage to the vehicle.
Do not use replacement tires with lower
load carrying capacities than the originals
because they may lower the vehicle's
GVWR and GAWR limitations. Replacement
tires with a higher limit than the originals
do not increase the GVWR and GAWR
limitations.
Never exceed the GVWR or the GAWR
specified on the certification label.
