Driving In Flooded Area
▼Driving In Flooded Area
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.
CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle on flooded
roads as it could cause short circuiting
of electrical/electronic parts, or engine
damage or stalling from water
absorption. If the vehicle has been
immersed in water, consult an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).

CAUTION
¾After driving at freeway speeds or up
a long hill, trailer towing for a long
time, idle the engine at least 30
seconds before stopping it.
Otherwise, the turbocharger could
be damaged. However, when i-stop
operates, idling is unnecessary.
¾Racing or over-revving the engine,
particularly after it's just been
started, can damage the
turbocharger.
¾To protect the engine from damage,
the engine is designed so that it
cannot be raced just after starting it
in extremely cold weather.
The turbocharger greatly enhances
engine power. Its advanced design
provides improved operation and
requires minimum maintenance.
To get the most from it, observe the
following.
1. Change engine oil and filter
according to Scheduled
Maintenance.
Refer to Europe on page 6-3.
Refer to Except Europe on page
6-6.
2. Use only recommended engine oil
(page 6-24). Extra additives are
NOT recommended.
