Lubrication system
▼Lubrication system
All moving points on the vehicle body,
such as door and hood hinges and
locks, should be lubricated to move
smoothly.
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
▼ Wiper Blades
CAUTION
Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to
aff ect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
An operation malfunction may occur
or the wiper
eff ectiveness may be
reduced if a water-repellent coating
is used.
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 power switch 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 fi ngers 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.
Before lifting the windshield wiper
blades off the windshield, always
follow the procedure for moving the
windshield wiper blades. Otherwise,
a wiper blade, wiper arm, or the
hood could be damaged.

Replace the tire when this happens.
1. New tread
2. Worn tread
3. Tread wear indicator
You should replace the tire before the
band crosses the entire tread.
NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used on the road. It
is recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or
older. Heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high loading conditions can
accelerate the aging process. The
period in which the tire was
manufactured (both week and year) is
indicated by a 4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-21.
▼Replacing a Wheel
WARNING
Always use wheels of the correct size
on your vehicle:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is
dangerous. Braking and handling could
be
aff ected, leading to loss of control
and an accident.
CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely
a ff ect:
Tire fit
Wheel and bearing life
Ground clearance
Snow-chain clearance
Speedometer calibration
Headlight aim
Bumper height
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
NOTE
When replacing a wheel, make sure
the new one is the same as the
original factory wheel in diameter,
rim width, and
offset (inset/outset).
For details, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Proper tire balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and flat spots.

Fuses
▼Fuses
Your vehicle's electrical system is
protected by fuses.
If any lights, accessories, or controls do
not work, inspect the appropriate
circuit protector. If a fuse has blown,
the inside element will be melted.
If the same fuse blows again, avoid
using that system and consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
▼Fuse Replacement
Replacing the fuses on the vehicle's
left side
If the electrical system does not work,
fi
rst inspect the fuses on the vehicle's
left side.
1. Make sure the power switch is
switched o ff, and other switches
are off.
2. Open the fuse panel cover.
3. Pull the fuse straight out with the
fuse puller provided on the fuse
block located in the motor
compartment.
4. Inspect the fuse and replace it if it is
blown.
1. Normal
2. Blown
5. Insert a new fuse of the same amperage rat ing , and make sure it
fits tightly. If it does not
fit tightly,
have an expert install it. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow
one of the same rating from a
circuit not essential to vehicle
operation, such as the audio or
accessory socket circuit.
6. Reinstall the cover and make sure that it is securely installed.
Replacing the fuses under the hood
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the fuses
in the cabin are normal, inspect the
fuse block under the hood.

When washing and waxing the
vehicle, be careful not to apply
excessive force to any single area of
the vehicle roof. Otherwise, you
could dent the vehicle.
Make sure that the charge lid is
closed and lock the doors.
Otherwise, the charge lid may be
forcefully opened by water pressure
causing damage to the vehicle or
charge lid.
When washing the vehicle, do not
spray highly pressurized water
against the sensor areas of the front
and rear bumpers, or rub them
strongly. Otherwise, the sensors may
be unable to detect obstructions
correctly and systems such as the
parking sensor may not operate
normally.
To help protect the finish from rust and
deterioration, wash your Mazda
thoroughly and frequently, at least
once a month, with lukewarm or cold
water.
If the vehicle is washed improperly, the
paint surface could be scratched. Here
are some examples of how scratching
could occur.
Scratches occur on the paint surface
when:
The vehicle is washed without first
rinsing o ff dirt and other foreign
matter.
The vehicle is washed with a rough,
dry, or dirty cloth.
The vehicle is washed at a car wash
that uses brushes that are dirty or too sti ff.
Cleansers or wax containing
abrasives are used.
NOTE
Mazda is not responsible for
scratches caused by automatic car
washes or improper washing.
Scratches are more noticeable on
vehicles with darker paint
finishes.
To minimize scratches on the vehicle's
paint finish:
Rinse o ff any dirt or other foreign
matter using lukewarm or cold water
before washing.
Use plenty of lukewarm or cold
water and a soft cloth when washing
the vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth.
Rub gently when washing or drying
the vehicle.
Take your vehicle only to a car wash
that keeps its brushes well
maintained.
Do not use abrasive cleansers or wax
that contain abrasives.
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
damage the protective coating; also,
cleaners and detergents may discolor
or deteriorate the paint.
Pay special attention to removing salt,
dirt, mud, and other foreign material
from the underside of the fenders, and
make sure the drain holes in the lower
edges of the doors and rocker panels
are clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial fallout, and similar deposits
can damage the finish if not removed
immediately. When prompt washing
