Introduction
▼Introduction
Be careful not to hurt yourself when
inspecting your vehicle
, replacing a tire, or
doing some kind of maintenance such as
car washing. In partic ular, wear thick work
gloves such as cotton gloves when
touching areas that are difficult 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 this
manual describes, we strongly urge you to
have a reliable and qualified 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, an d insufficient 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 a s evidence this
maintenance was performed. You must
present these documents, should any
warranty coverage disagreement occur.
Failure to do so ca n result in your
warranty being voided either in whole or
in part.

This evidence may consist of the
following:
The Mazda Scheduled Maintenance
Record, refer to the Warranty Booklet,
must be completely filled out showing
mileage, repair order number, date for
each service, and signed by a qualified
automotive service technician who

Original copies of rep air orders or other
receipts that include the mileage and
