▼Replacing Light Bulbs
All the light bulbs are the LED type.
The LED bulb cannot be replaced as a
single unit because it is an integrated
unit.
The LED bulb has to be replaced with
the unit. If a replacement is necessary,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Adjusting the Headlight Aim
If the headlight cannot be adjusted
using procedure below, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
1. Make sure the vehicle has a full
tank of gasoline and the area
around the headlight is not
deformed.
2. Park the vehicle on level ground.
3. Sit in the driver's seat.
4. Bounce the vehicle several times.
5. Using a Phillips-head screw-driver,
turn bolt A in either direction.
Remember the turning direction
and the number of turns.
6. Turn bolt B the same number of turns and in the same direction as
step 5.
1. Adjustment bolt A
2. Adjustment bolt B
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,
first inspect the fuses on the vehicle's
left side.
1. Make sure the ignition is switched
off, and other switches are off.
2. Open the fuse panel cover.

block located in the engine
compartment.
4. Inspect the fuse and replace it if it is
blown.
1. Normal

5. Insert a new fuse of the same
amperage rating, 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.
CAUTION
Always replace a fuse with a
genuine Mazda fuse or equivalent
of the same rating. Otherwise, you
may damage the electric system.
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.
If a fuse is blown, it must be replaced.
Follow these steps:
1. Make sure the ignition is switched
off, and other switches are
off.
2. Remove the fuse block cover.
3. If any fuse but the MAIN fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of
the same amperage rating .
