When inspecting the engine oil
level, pull out the dipstick straight
without twisting. In addition, when
inserting the dipstick, always insert
it without twisting so that the “X”
mark faces the front of the vehicle.
6. Pull it out again and examine the
level.
The level is normal if it is between
the MIN and MAX marks.
If it is near or below MIN, add
enough oil to bring the level to
MAX.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the engine oil. This
may cause engine damage.
7. Make sure the O-ring on the
dipstick is positioned properly
before reinserting the dipstick.
8. Reinsert the dipstick fully.
Engine Coolant
▼Inspecting Coolant Level
WARNING
Do not use a match or live flame in
the engine compartment. DO NOT
ADD COOLANT WHEN THE ENGINE
IS HOT:
A hot engine is dangerous. If the
engine has been running, parts of the
engine compartment can become very
hot. You could be burned. Carefully
inspect the engine coolant in the
coolant reservoir, but do not open it.
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.

NOTE
If the replacement is not done using
the correct procedure indicated in the
service manual, it could cause an
engine malfunction. Consult an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer) for
details.
Inspect the antifreeze protection and
coolant level in the coolant reservoir at
least once a yearŠat the beginning of
the winter seasonŠand before
travelling where temperatures may
drop below freezing.

Inspect the condition and connections
of all cooling system and heater hoses.
Replace any that are swollen or
deteriorated.

The coolant should be at full in the
radiator and between the FULL and
LOW marks on the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cool.

If it is at or near LOW, add enough
coolant to the coolant reservoir to
provide freezing and corrosion
protection and to bring the level to
FULL.
Securely tighten the coolant reservoir
tank cap after adding coolant.
CAUTION
¾Radiator coolant will damage paint.
Rinse it off quickly if spilled.
¾If the “FL22” mark is shown on or
near the cooling system cap, use of
FL-22 is recommended when
replacing engine coolant. Using
engine coolant other than
FL-22 may
cause serious damage to the engine
and cooling system.

If the coolant reservoir is empty or new
coolant is required frequently, consult
an expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).

Brake/Clutch Fluid
▼Inspecting Brake/Clutch Fluid
Level
WARNING
If the brake/clutch fluid level is low,
have the brakes inspected:
A low brake/clutch fluid level is
dangerous.
A low level could indicate brake lining
wear or a brake system leak which
could cause the brakes to fail and lead
to an accident.
The brakes and clutch draw fluid from
the same reservoir.
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir
regularly. It should be kept between
the MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake and
clutch linings. If it is excessively low,
have the brake/clutch system
inspected by an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer).

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.

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
