▼Active Driving Display
Maintenance*
The dust-proof sheet has a coating.
When cleaning , do
not use a hard or
rough-surface cloth, or cleaning
detergent. In addition, if a chemical
solvent gets on the active driving
display, wipe it o ff immediately. The
dust-proof sheet could be damaged
and the surface coating could be
scratched. Use a fine, soft cloth such as
those used for cleaning eyeglasses.
NOTE
Use of compressed air when cleaning
the dust-proof sheet is recommended.
▼ Panel Maintenance
If a panel becomes soiled, wipe it o
ff
with a soft cloth soaked in clean water
and thoroughly wrung out.
If some areas require further cleaning ,
use the following procedure:
1. Wipe the soiled area with a soft cloth soaked in a mild detergent
(approx. 5 %) diluted with water.
2. Wipe o ff the remaining detergent
using a cloth soaked in clean water
and wrung out well.
NOTE
Be particularly careful when cleaning
shiny surface panels and metallic parts
such as plating as they can be
scratched easily.
▼ Cleaning the Window Interiors
If the windows become covered with
an oily, greasy, or waxy
film, clean
them with glass cleaner. Follow the
directions on the container.
CAUTION
 Do not scrape or scratch the inside
of the window glass. It could
damage the thermal filaments and
the antenna lines.
 When washing the inside of the
window glass, use a soft cloth
dampened in lukewarm water, gently
wiping the thermal filaments and the
antenna lines.
Use of glass cleaning products could
damage the thermal filaments and
the antenna lines.
▼ Cleaning the Floor Mats
Rubber
floor mats should be cleaned
with mild soap and water only.
WARNING
Do not use rubber cleaners, such as
tire cleaner or tire shine, when
cleaning rubber floor mats:
Cleaning the rubber floor mats with
rubber cleaning products makes the
fl oor mats slippery.
This may cause an accident when
depressing the accelerator, brake, or
clutch (Manual transmission) pedal or
when getting in or out of the vehicle.
After removing the floor mats for
cleaning, always reinstall them securely
(page 3-46).

1. Park on a hard, level surface off the
right-of-way and firmly set the
parking brake.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic transmission in Park (P), a manual
transmission in Reverse (R) or 1,
and turn o ff the engine.
3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher.
4. Have passengers get out of the vehicle and away from the vehicle
and tra ffic.
5. Remove any luggage, the jack, tools, and spare tire (page 7-3).
6. Block the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire. When
blocking a wheel, place a tire block
both in front and behind the tire.
NOTE
When blocking a tire, use rocks or
wood blocks of su fficient size if
possible to hold the tire in place.
▼ Removing a Flat Tire
WARNING
When jacking-up a vehicle, always
shift the shift lever to 1st or R position
(manual transmission vehicle) or shift
the selector lever to P position
(automatic transmission vehicle),
apply the parking brake, and place
wheel blocks in the position
diagonally opposed to the jack:
Changing a
flat tire without using
wheel blocks is dangerous because the
vehicle may move and fall o ff the jack
even with the shift lever in 1st or R
position, or the selector lever is in P
position, which could result in an
accident.
1. If your vehicle is equipped with a wheel cover, pry off the wheel
cover with the beveled end of the
jack lever.

NOTE
Force the end of the jack lever
firmly between wheel and cover, or
removal will be di fficult.

Starting a Flooded Engine
▼Starting a Flooded Engine
If the engine fails to start, it may be
fl
ooded (excessive fuel in the engine).

Follow this procedure:

1. If the engine does not start within 5 seconds on the first try, wait 10
seconds and try again.
2. Make sure the parking brake is on.
3. Depress the accelerator all the way
and hold it there.
4. Depress the clutch pedal (manual
transmission) or the brake pedal
(automatic transmission), then
press the push button start. If the
engine starts, release the
accelerator immediately because
the engine will suddenly rev up.
5. If the engine fails to start, crank it
without depressing the accelerator.

If the engine still does not start using
the previous procedure, have your
vehicle inspected by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Push-Starting
▼ Push-Starting
Do not push-start your Mazda.

Towing a vehicle to start it is
dangerous. The vehicle being towed
could surge forward when its engine
starts, causing the 2 vehicles to collide.
The occupants could be injured.
CAUTION
Do not push-start a vehicle that has a
manual transmission. It can damage
the emission control system.
NOTE
You cannot start a vehicle with an
automatic transmissi
on by pushing it.

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 o ff 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 hood 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 hood and start the
engine.

If neither coolant nor steam is
escaping:
Open the hood 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
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
