If the above indications remain
unchanged even after 1 minute has
passed with the vehicle stopped:
If you have already added 5.7 L (1.5 US
gal, 1.3 Imp gal) of DEF according to
the DEF level (%) indication on the
multi-information display, prepare an
additional 5.7 L (1.5 US gal, 1.3 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.
