WA R N I N G
Do not perform maintenance work if you lack sufficient knowledge and experience or the
proper tools and equipment to do the work. Have maintenance work done by a qualified
technician:
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle is dangerous if not done properly. You can be
seriously injured while performing some maintenance procedures.
If you must run the engine while working under the hood, make certain that you remove all
jewelry (especially rings, bracelets, watches, and necklaces) and all neckties, scarves, and
similar loose clothing before getting near the engine or cooling fan which may turn on
unexpectedly:
Working under the hood with the engine ru nning is dangerous. It becomes even more
dangerous when you wear jewelry, loose clot hing or have long hair or a long beard.
Either can become entangled in moving parts and result in injury.
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 runn ing is dangerous. The fan could continue running
indefinitely even if the engine has stopped an d the engine compartment temperature is high.
You could be hit by the fan and seriously injured.
Do not leave items in the engine compartment:
After you have finished checking or doing servicing in the engine compartment, do not forget
and leave items such as tools or rags in the engine compartment.
Tools or other items left in the engine co mpartment could cause engine damage or a
fire
leading to an unexpected accident.

NOTE
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
Inspect the engine oil level
periodically. When inspecting the
engine oil, if the engine oil level is
exceeds the “X” mark on the dipstick,
replace the engine oil. This should be
done by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
When replacing the engine oil, inspect
the oil level using the oil dipstick and
refill so that the engine oil level is
within the range between MIN and
MAX as shown in the figure.

Engine Coolant
▼ Inspecting Coolant Level
WA R N I N G
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.

Do not add any
fluid other than DEF to
the urea tank. If any fluid other than DEF
is added, it could cause a problem with
the SCR system or damage it. Do not
switch the ignition ON, and contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 When adding DEF, use a bottle with an
anti-spill nozzle. If a bottle without an
anti-spill nozzle or a commercial
dispenser at a gasoline station is used, it
could cause leakage or the DEF to spray
out.
 Do not overfill the DEF. If the DEF is
overfilled, it may freeze during cold
temperatures (–11°C (12 °F) or less).
When urea freezes, it expands and could
cause tank breakage. Always use a bottle
with an auto-stop function and stop
adding fluid when the auto-stop
function operates.
NOTE
When adding DEF during low
temperatures (–11 °C (12 °F) or less),
move the vehicle to a warm location. If
the DEF starts to freeze, it may not flow
correctly and the correct amount may
not have been added. In addition, if the
fluid freezes in the urea tank, you may
not be able to tell if the correct amount
of fluid was added.
Replenishment of DEF by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer is recommended. If you
want to replenish the DEF yourself,
follow the replenishment procedure
below.

Replenishment Procedure
1. Check the remaining amount of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) on the
multi-information display.
(Instrument cluster (Type A))
Refer to Remaining Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) and Maximum Driving
Distance Display (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
on page 4-21.
(Instrument cluster (Type B))
Refer to Remaining Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) and Maximum Driving
Distance Display (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
on page 4-37.
3.8 L (1.0 US gal, 0.84 Imp gal) of
DEF or more needs to be added.
NOTE
The replenishment amount (reference)
according to the DEF level (%)
indication is as follows:
Percentage (%) indica-tion for remaining amount Reference replenish-
ment amount
*1
100 — 85 Replenishment unneces-
sary
80 — 60 About 3.8 L (1.0 US gal,
0.84 Imp gal)
55 — 40 About 5.7 L (1.5 US gal,
1.3 Imp gal)
35 — 20 About 7.6 L (2.0 US gal,
1.7 Imp gal)
15 — 0 About 9.5 L (2.5 US gal,
2.1 Imp gal)

100 % may not be indicated on the
display.

2. Stop the vehicle on level ground.
3. Switch the ignition OFF.

The DEF level (%) indication on the
multi-information display shows an
increase.
(Instrument cluster (Type A))
Refer to Remaining Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) and Maximum Driving
Distance Display (SKYACTIV-D
2.2) on page 4-21.
(Instrument cluster (Type B))
Refer to Remaining Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) and Maximum Driving
Distance Display (SKYACTIV-D
2.2) on page 4-37.
12. Switch the ignition OFF.
If the above indications remain
unchanged even after one minute has
passed with the vehicle stopped:
If you have already added 3.8 L (1.0 US
gal, 0.84 Imp gal) of DEF according to
the DEF level (%) indication on the
multi-information display, prepare an
additional 3.8 L (1.0 US gal, 0.84 Imp
gal) of DEF or more and add it
following the replenishment procedure.
If you added the correct amount of DEF,
the DEF level (%) indication on the
multi-information display will show an
increase while the vehicle is being
driven. If the DEF level (%) shows no
increase or the speed restriction does not
cancel even while driving the vehicle,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood 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 hood's secondary latch
keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.

Wiper Blades
CAUTION
Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to
affect the
wiper's ability to clean windows.
 To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.
 When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
 If the windshield above the rain sensor
is touched.
 If the windshield above the rain sensor
is wiped with a cloth.
 If the windshield is struck with a hand
or other object.
 If 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.
Contamination of eith er the windshield 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 de tergent; then rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.
▼ Replacing Windshield Wiper Blades
When the wipers no longer clean well, the
blades are probably worn or cracked.
Replace them.
CAUTION

To prevent damage to the wiper arms
and other components, do not try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.
 Do not bend the blade rubber
unnecessarily when replacing it.
Otherwise, the metal stiffener in the
blade may deform and the windshield
wiper operation may be adversely
affected.
NOTE
When raising both windshield wiper arms,
raise the driver's side wiper arm first.
When lowering the wiper arms, slowly
lower the wiper arm from the passenger's
side first while supporting it with your
hand. Forcefully lowering the wiper arms
could damage the wiper arm and blade,
and may scratch or crack the windshield.
1. Raise the wiper arm.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the windshield
let the wiper arm down easily, do not
let it slap down on the windshield.
