If the “FL22” mark is shown on or
near the cooling system cap, use of
FL -22 is recommended when
replacing coolant. Using coolant
other than FL -22 may cause serious
damage to the cooling system.

If the coolant reservoir is empty or new
coolant is required frequently, consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Brake Fluid
▼ Inspecting Brake Fluid Level
WARNING
If the brake
fluid level is low, have the
brakes inspected:
A low brake 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.
Inspect the fluid level 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 linings. If
it is excessively low, have the brake
system inspected by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

with plain water is ineffective, use a
mild soap made for use on vehicles.

Thoroughly rinse o ff all soap with
lukewarm or cold water. Do not allow
soap to dry on the finish.

After washing the vehicle, dry it with a
clean chamois to prevent water spots
from forming.
WARNING
Dry o ff 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
a ff ected.
When using an automatic car wash
Retract the door mirrors.The automatic car wash brushes
could reduce the paint luster or
hasten paint deterioration.
NOTE
Release the parking brake and use
neutral hold mode (automatic car
wash mode) when it is necessary to
change the shift position to the N
position for an automatic car wash.
For details on neutral hold mode
(automatic car wash mode) (page
4-28).
When using a high water pressure car
wash
High water temperature and high
water pressure car washers are
available depending on the type of car
wash machine. If the car washer nozzle
is put too close to the vehicle, the
force of the spray could damage or
deform the molding , a ffect the
sealability of parts, and allow water to
penetrate the interior. Keep a su fficient
space (30 cm (12 in) or more)
between the nozzle and the vehicle. In
addition, do not spend too much time
spraying the same area of the vehicle,
and be very careful when spraying
between gaps in doors and around
windows.
Waxing
Your vehicle needs to be waxed when
water no longer beads on the finish.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing it. In addition to the vehicle
body, wax the metal trim to maintain
its luster.

1. Use wax which contains no abrasives.
Wax containing abrasives will
remove paints and could damage
bright metal parts.
2. Use a good grade of natural wax for metallic, mica, and solid colors.
3. When waxing, coat evenly with the sponge supplied or a soft cloth.
4. Wipe o ff the wax with a soft cloth.
NOTE
A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and
similar materials will usually also take
o ff the wax. Rewax these areas even if
the rest of the vehicle does not need it.
▼ Repairing Damage to the Finish
Deep scratches or chips on the
finish
should be repaired promptly. Exposed
metal quickly rusts and can lead to
major repairs.

CAUTION
If your Mazda is damaged and needs
metal parts repaired or replaced, make
sure the body shop applies
anti-corrosion materials to all parts,
both repaired and new. This will
prevent them from rusting.
▼Bright-Metal Maintenance
Use tar remover to remove road tar
and insects. Never do this with a
knife or similar tool.
To prevent corrosion on bright-metal
surfaces, apply wax or chrome
preservative and rub it to a high
luster.
During cold weather or in coastal
areas, cover bright-metal parts with a
coating of wax or preservative
heavier than usual. It would also help
to coat them with noncorrosive
petroleum jelly or some other
protective compound.
CAUTION
Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, or strong detergents
containing highly alkaline or caustic
agents on chrome-plated or anodized
aluminum parts. This may result in
damage to the protective coating and
cause discoloration or paint
deterioration.
▼Underbody Maintenance
Road chemicals and salt used for ice
and snow removal and solvents used
for dust control may collect on the
underbody. If not removed, they will
speed up rusting and deterioration of
such underbody parts as frame and
fl
oor pan, even though these parts may
be coated with anti-corrosive material.

Thoroughly flush the underbody and
wheel housings with lukewarm or cold
water at the end of each winter. Try
also to do this every month.

Pay special attention to these areas
because they easily hide mud and dirt.
It will do more harm than good to wet
down the road grime without
removing it.

The lower edges of doors, rocker
panels, and frame members have drain
holes that should not be clogged.
Water trapped there will cause rusting.
WARNING
Dry o ff 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
a ff ected.
▼ Camera and Lens Maintenance
CAUTION

The camera cover is made of hard
plastic, therefore do not apply oil
fi lm remover, organic solvents, wax,
or coating agents. If any such agent is
applied, wipe it using a soft cloth
immediately.

sealant contacts clothing or other
objects, you may not be able to
remove it.
NOTE
The sealant hardens easily and
injecting it will be di fficult under
cold weather conditions (0 °C
(32 °F) or below). Warm the
sealant inside the vehicle to
facilitate injection.

▼Towing Description
If your vehicle stops operating and
needs to be towed, we recommend
that towing be done only by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.

Proper lifting and towing are necessary
to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Government and local laws must be
followed.

A towed vehicle usually should have its
drive wheels (front wheels) o
ff the
ground. If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent this, use wheel
dollies.
1. Wheel dollies

When towing with the rear wheels on
the ground, release the parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB) on
page 4-52.
CAUTION
 Do not tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the vehicle.
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. This could damage your
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed
equipment.
 If the parking brake cannot be
released when towing the vehicle,
transport the vehicle with all front
and rear wheels raised o ff the ground
as shown in the figure. If the vehicle
is towed without raising the wheels o ff the ground, the brake system
could be damaged.
