2020 MAZDA MODEL CX-5 washer fluid

Brake/Clutch Fluid
▼Inspecting Brake/Clutch Fluid Level
WA R N I N G
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 leve
l 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
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

▼ Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WA R N I N G
Use only windshield washer fluid or plain
water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer fluid is
dangerous. If sprayed on the windshield, it
will dirty the windshield,
affect your
visibility, and could result in an accident.
Using Washer Fluid Without Anti-freeze
Protection in Cold Weather:
Operating your vehicle in temperatures
below 4 °C (40 °F) using washer fluid
without anti-freeze prot ection is dangerous
as it could cause impaired windshield
vision and result in an accident. In cold
weather, always use washer fluid with
anti-freeze protection.
NOTE
State or local regulations may restrict the
use of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), which are commonly used as
anti-freeze agents in washer fluid. A
washer fluid with limited VOC content
should be used only if it provides adequate
freeze resistance for all regions and
climates in which the vehicle will be
operated.

Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir; add fluid if necessary.
L F
The top of the float should be between F
and L.

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.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid(DEF)
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Handling
CAUTION
If DEF gets in your mouth, wash your
mouth with a large amount of water
immediately and seek medical attention.
If DEF is mistakenly swallowed, drink 1 to
2 cups of water immediately and seek
medical attention.
 If DEF gets in your eyes, rinse them with
running water immediately and seek
medical attention.
 Do not use DEF when 2 years have
elapsed from the production date
indicated on the container or the use
period has expired. If DEF with an expired
use period is used, the Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR) System may not operate
normally.
 Do not store DEF in the vehicle. DEF may
deteriorate or the interior may be
damaged due to fluid leakage from the
container.
 If DEF gets on the painted surface or the
interior, wash it off with water or wipe it
off with a wet cloth immediately.
Otherwise, it may damage the painted
surface or the interior.
 If DEF crystals form on the painted
surface or the interior, wipe them
off with
a wet cloth. Otherwise, it may damage
the painted surface or the interior.
 Store DEF in a place out of the reach of
children.

Rinse the wheels thoroughly with
lukewarm or cold water. Also, be sure to
clean the wheels after driving on dusty
or salted roads to help prevent
corrosion.
Avoid washing your vehicle in an
automatic car wash that uses high-speed
or hard brushes.
(19-inch wheel vehicle)
If your aluminum wheels lose luster,
apply wax which contains no polishing
powder.
▼ Plastic Part Maintenance
When cleaning the plastic lenses of the
lights, do not use gasoline, kerosene,
rectified spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these chemical
agents can discolor 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.
If plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or fluids such as
gasoline, oil, engine coolant, or battery
fluid, it could cause discoloration,
staining, or paint peeling. Wipe off any
such chemical agents or fluids using a
soft cloth immediately.
High 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.
Do not use wax containing compounds
(polish). Otherwise, it could result in
paint damage.
In 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.

SignalWarning Action to be taken
Seat Belt Warning
Light (Front seat) Mexico
The seat belt warning light turns on if the
driver or front passenger's seat is occupied
and the seat belt is not
fastened with the ig-
nition switched ON.
If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is
unfastened (only when the front passenger's
seat is occupied) and the vehicle is driven at
a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph),
the warning light flashes. After a short time,
the warning light stops flashing, but re-
mains illuminated. If a seat belt remains un-
fastened, the warning light flashes again for
a given period of time.
NOTE
Placing heavy items on the front pas-
senger's seat may cause the front pas-
senger's seat belt warning function to op-
erate depending on the weight of the
item.
To allow the front passenger seat weight
sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion on
the front passenger's seat. The sensor
may not function properly because the
additional seat cushion could cause sen-
sor interference.
If a small child is seated on the front pas-
senger's seat, the warning light may not
operate. Fasten the seat belts.
(Red)
Seat Belt Warning Light (Rear seat) If the rear seat belts are not fastened while
the ignition is switched
ON , the driver and
the passenger are alerted by the warning
light.
The warning light operates even if there is
no passenger on the rear seat.
NOTE
If a rear seat belt is not fastened by a cer-
tain period of time after the engine has
been started, the warning light turns off. Fasten the seat belts.
