▼Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WARNING
Use only windscreen washer fluid or
plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windscreen, it will dirty the
windscreen, affect your visibility, and
could result in an accident.
Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir; add fluid if necessary.

The top of the float should be between
F and E.

Use plain water if washer
fluid is
unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold
weather to prevent it from freezing.
NOTE
Front and rear washer
fluid is supplied
from the same reservoir.
Body Lubrication
▼Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and bonnet hinges and locks,
should be lubricated each time the
engine oil is changed. Use a
nonfreezing lubricant on locks during
cold weather.

Make sure the bonnet's secondary
latch keeps the bonnet from opening
when the primary latch is released.

with plain water is ineffective, use a
mild soap made for use on vehicles.

Thoroughly rinse off all soap with
lukewarm or cold water. Do not allow
soap to dry on the finish.

After washing the vehicle, dry it with a
clean chamois to prevent water spots
from forming.
WARNING
Dry off brakes that have become wet
by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to normal:
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when
braking could result in a serious
accident. Light braking will indicate
whether the brakes have been
affected.
When using an automatic car wash
xRetract the door mirrors.xThe automatic car wash brushes
could reduce the paint lustre or
hasten paint deterioration.
When using a high water pressure car
wash
High water temperature and high
water pressure car washers are
available depending on the type of car
wash machine. If the car washer nozzle
is put too close to the vehicle, the
force of the spray could damage or
deform the molding,
affect the
sealability of parts, and allow water to
penetrate the interior. Keep a
sufficient
space (30 cm (12 in) or more)
between the nozzle and the vehicle. In
addition, do not spend too much time
spraying the same area of the vehicle,
and be very careful when spraying
between gaps in doors and around
windows.
Waxing
Your vehicle needs to be waxed when
water no longer beads on the
finish.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing it. In addition to the vehicle
body, wax the metal trim to maintain
its lustre.

1. Use wax which contains no
abrasives.
Waxes containing abrasive will
remove paint and could damage
bright metal parts.
2. Use a good grade of natural wax for
metallic, mica, and solid colours.
3. When waxing, coat evenly with the
sponge supplied or a soft cloth.
4. Wipe off the wax with a soft cloth.
NOTE
A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and
similar materials will usually also take
off the wax. Rewax these areas even if
the rest of the vehicle does not need it.
▼Paint Damage Touch-up
Repair damage to the finish caused by
stone chipping, damage during parking
etc., by using Mazda touch-up paint
before rust begins to form. First,
remove the dirt and grease with a
clean soft cloth.

If rust has already begun to form:

1. Remove rust completely with
sandpaper.
2. Wipe with a clean soft cloth.
3. Apply rust preventive primer to the
area.

▼Plastic Part Maintenance
xWhen cleaning the plastic lenses of
the lights, do not use petrol, paraffin,
rectified spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these
chemical agents can discolour or
damage the surfaces resulting in a
significant loss in functionality. If
plastic parts become inadvertently
exposed to any of these chemical
agents, flush with water immediately.
xIf plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or fluids such as
petrol, oil, engine coolant, or battery
fluid, it could cause discolouration,
staining, or paint peeling. Wipe off
any such chemical agents or fluids
using a soft cloth immediately.
xHigh water temperature and high
water pressure car washers are
available depending on the type of
high pressure car washer device. If
the car washer nozzle is put too
close to the vehicle or aimed at one
area for an extended period of time,
it could deform plastic parts or
damage the paint.
xDo not use wax containing
compounds (polish). Otherwise, it
could result in paint damage.
xIn addition, do not use an electrical
or air tool to apply wax. Otherwise,
the frictional heat generated could
result in deformation of plastic parts
or paint damage.

sure there is no remaining moisture
on them.
WARNING
If a seat belt appears frayed or has
abrasions, have it replaced by an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer):
If a seat belt 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.
▼Vinyl Upholstery Maintenance
Remove dust and dirt from the vinyl
upholstery using a brush or vacuum.
Remove soiling from vinyl upholstery
using a leather and vinyl upholstery
cleaner.
▼Upholstery Maintenance
1. Clean the soiled area by lightly

water.
3. Wipe off the remaining detergent
using a cloth soaked in clean water
and wrung out well.
4. Remove moisture with a dry, soft
cloth and allow the leather to
further dry in a well-ventilated,
shaded area. If the leather gets wet
such as from rain, remove the
moisture and dry it as soon as
possible.
NOTE
xBecause genuine leather is a natural
material, its surface is not uniform
and it may have natural scars,
scratches, and wrinkles.
xTo maintain the quality for as long as
possible, periodical maintenance,
about twice a year, is recommended.
xIf the leather upholstery comes into
contact with any of the following,
clean it immediately.
Leaving it uncleaned could cause
premature wear, mold, or stains.
xSand or dirtxGrease or oil, such as hand creamxAlcohol, such as in cosmetic or
hair dressing items
xIf the leather upholstery gets wet,
promptly remove moisture with a dry
cloth. Remaining moisture on the
surface may cause deterioration such
as hardening and shrinkage.
