Add-On Non-GenuineParts and Accessories
▼ Add-On Non-Genuine Parts and
Accessories
Non-genuine parts and 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 installation of add-on
non-genuine parts or accessories.

Cell Phones Warning
▼Cell Phones Warning
WA R N I N G
Please comply with the legal regulations
concerning the use of communication
equipment in vehicles in your country:
Use of any electrical devices such as cell
phones, computers, portable radios,
vehicle navigation or other devices by the
driver while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous. Dialing a number on a cell
phone while driving also ties-up the driver's
hands. Use of these devices will cause the
driver to be distracted and could lead to a
serious accident. If a
passenger is unable to
use the device, pull off the right-of-way to a
safe area before use. If use of a cell phone is
necessary despite this warning, use a
hands-free system to at least leave the
hands free to drive the vehicle. Never use a
cell phone or other electrical devices while
the vehicle is moving and, instead,
concentrate on the full-time job of driving.
