Washer Fluid
▼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.

Wiper Blades
▼Wiper Blades
CAUTION
¾Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to
affect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
¾To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use petrol,
paraffin,
paint thinner, or other solvents on or
near them.
¾When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched
ON, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
¾If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is touched.
¾If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
¾If the windscreen is struck with a
hand or other object.
¾If the rain sensor is struck with a
hand or other object from inside
the vehicle.
Be careful not to pinch hands or
fingers as it may cause injury, or
damage the wipers. When washing
or servicing the vehicle, make sure
the wiper lever is in the OFF
position.
¾Before lifting the windscreen wiper
blades
off the windscreen, always
follow the procedure for moving the
windscreen wiper blades. Otherwise,
a wiper blade, wiper arm, or the
bonnet could be damaged.
Refer to the Replacing Windscreen
Wiper Blades (page 6-32) section
for the procedure on how to move
the windscreen wiper blades to the
service position.
Contamination of either the
windscreen or the blades with foreign
matter can reduce wiper effectiveness.
Common sources are insects, tree sap,
and hot wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes.

If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a
good cleaner or mild detergent; then
rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Repeat if necessary.
▼Replacing Windscreen Wiper
Blades
When the wipers no longer clean well,
the blades are probably worn or
cracked.
Replace them.
CAUTION
¾To prevent damaging a windscreen
wiper blade, wiper arm, or the
bonnet, perform the following
procedure.
¾Before lifting the windscreen wiper
blades off the windscreen, always
move them to the service position.
¾When putting the windscreen
wiper blades back on the
windscreen, make sure that they
are in the service position before
switching the ignition ON and
operating the windscreen wipers.
¾Replace with Mazda genuine wiper
blades. If they are replaced with
wiper blades other than a Mazda
genuine product, they may not wipe
with the same
efficiency as the
genuine product.
¾To prevent damage to the wiper
arms and other components, do not
try to sweep the wiper arm by hand.

compartment.
4. Inspect the fuse and replace it if it is
blown.
1. Normal
2. Blown

5. Insert a new fuse of the same
amperage rating , and make sure it
fits tightly. If it does not
fit tightly,
have an expert install it. Consult an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
If you have no spare fuses, borrow
one of the same rating from a
circuit not essential to vehicle
operation, such as the audio or
accessory socket circuit.
CAUTION
Always replace a fuse with a
genuine Mazda fuse or equivalent
of the same rating. Otherwise, you
may damage the electric system.
6. Reinstall the cover and make sure
that it is securely installed.
Replacing the fuses under the bonnet
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the fuses
in the cabin are normal, inspect the
fuse block under the bonnet.
If a fuse is blown, it must be replaced.
Follow these steps:

1. Make sure the ignition is switched
off, and other switches are
off.
2. Remove the fuse block cover.
3. If any fuse but the MAIN fuse is
blown, replace it with a new one of
the same amperage rating.
1. Normal
2. Blown

evaporates, the minerals will
concentrate and harden to form white
rings. The rings can damage your
vehicle's finish.
Prevention
It is necessary to wash and wax your
vehicle to preserve its
finish according
to the instructions in this section.
These steps should be taken
immediately after you find water marks
on your vehicle's finish.
Paint Chipping
Occurrence
Paint chipping occurs when gravel
thrown in the air by another vehicle's
tyres hits your vehicle.
How to avoid paint chipping
Keeping a safe distance between you
and the vehicle ahead reduces the
chances of having your paint chipped
by
flying gravel.
NOTE
xThe paint chipping zone varies with
the speed of the vehicle. For
example, when travelling at 90 km/h
(56 mph), the paint chipping zone is
50 m (164 ft).
xIn low temperatures a vehicle's
finish
hardens. This increases the chance of
paint chipping.
xChipped paint can lead to rust
forming on your Mazda. Before this
happens, repair the damage by using
Mazda touch-up paint according to
the instructions in this section.
Failure to repair the affected area
could lead to serious rusting and
expensive repairs.

Follow all label and container
directions when using a chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warnings
and cautions.
▼Maintaining the Finish
Washing
CAUTION
¾Before lifting the windscreen wiper
blades off the windscreen, always
follow the procedure for moving the
windscreen wiper blades. Otherwise,
a wiper blade, wiper arm, or the
bonnet could be damaged.
Refer to the Replacing Windscreen
Wiper Blades (page 6-32) section for
the procedure on how to move the
windscreen wiper blades to the
service position.
¾When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched
ON, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
¾If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is touched or wiped with a
cloth.
¾If the windscreen is struck with a
hand or other object from either
outside or inside the vehicle.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windscreen when the wiper lever is
in the AUTO position and the
ignition is switched ON as
fingers
could be pinched or the wipers and
wiper blades damaged when the
wipers activate automatically.
If you are going to clean the
windscreen, be sure the wipers are
turned off completely (when it is
most likely that the engine is left
running) this is particularly important
when clearing ice and snow.

Overheating
▼Overheating
If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates overheating and the
high engine coolant temperature
warning indication is displayed, the
vehicle loses power or you hear a loud
knocking or pinging noise, the engine
is probably too hot.
WARNING
Pull over to a safe location, then
switch the ignition off and make sure
the fan is not running before
attempting to work near the cooling
fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is
running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running
indefinitely even if
the engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
Do not remove either
cooling system cap when the engine
and radiator are hot:
When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot
out under pressure and cause serious
injury.
Open the bonnet ONLY after steam is
no longer escaping from the engine:
Steam from an overheated engine is
dangerous. The escaping steam could
seriously burn you.
If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates overheating and the
high engine coolant temperature
warning indication is displayed:

1. Drive safely to the side of the road
and park off the right-of-way.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic
transmission in park (P), a manual
transmission in neutral.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Turn off the air conditioner.
5. Check whether coolant or steam is
escaping from the engine
compartment.

If steam is coming from the engine
compartment:
Do not go near the front of the
vehicle. Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates,
then open the bonnet and start the
engine.

If neither coolant nor steam is
escaping:
Open the bonnet and idle the
engine until it cools.
CAUTION
If the cooling fan does not operate
while the engine is running, the
engine temperature will increase.
Stop the engine and call an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
6. Make sure the cooling fan is
operating, then turn off the engine
after the temperature has
decreased.
7. When cool, check the coolant level.
