Warnings and Cautionsfor Daily Inspection
WARNING
Do not perform maintenance work if
you lack sufficient knowledge and
experience or the proper tools and
equipment to do the work. Have
maintenance work done by a
qualified technician.
Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle is dangerous if not done
properly. You can be seriously injured
while performing some maintenance
procedures.
If you must run the hybrid system
while working under the hood, make
certain that you remove all jewelry
(especially rings, bracelets, watches,
and necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose clothing
before getting near the cooling fan
which may turn on unexpectedly.
Working under the hood with the
hybrid system operating is dangerous.
It becomes even more dangerous
when you wear jewelry, loose clothing
or have long hair or a long beard.
Either can become entangled in
moving parts and result in injury.
Pull over to a safe location, then
switch the vehicle power off 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 leave items in the motor
compartment.
After you have finished checking or
doing servicing in the engine
compartment, do not forget and leave
items such as tools or rags in the motor
compartment. Tools or other items left
in the engine compartment could
cause the hybrid system damage or a
fire leading to an unexpected accident.
CAUTION
When using a chassis roller, turn the
following systems off to prevent them
from mis-operating while the vehicle is
running on the chassis roller.

Inspect the antifreeze protection and
coolant level in the coolant reservoir at
least once a year―at the beginning of
the winter season ―and before
traveling where temperatures may drop
below freezing.
Inspect the condition and connections
of all cooling system and heater hoses.
Replace any that are swollen or
deteriorated.
There are two cooling circuits: one for
the automatic transmission, and the
other for the engine. Check both
circuits.
The coolant should be at full in the
radiator and between the F and L
marks, and between the FULL and
LOW marks on the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cool.
There are two coolant reservoir tanks.
Check each of them.
1. The tank for the EV system
2. The tank for the engine
If it is at or near the LOW position, add
enough coolant to the coolant
reservoir to provide freezing and
corrosion protection and to bring the
level to FULL.
Securely tighten the coolant reservoir
tank cap after adding coolant.
CAUTION
Radiator coolant will damage paint.
Rinse it off quickly if spilled.
If the “FL22” mark is shown on or
near the cooling system cap, use of
FL-22 is recommended when
replacing engine coolant. Using
engine coolant other than FL-22 may
cause serious damage to the engine
and cooling system.
If the coolant reservoir is empty or new
coolant is required frequently, consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Replenish the washer fluid on a flat
surface. If the vehicle is tilted, washerfluid may not fill sufficiently.
Add washer fluid under any of the
following conditions.
The top of the fluid level is low.The Low Washer Fluid Level Warning
Indication/Warning Light (if
equipped) turns on.
The top of the fluid level is lower
than L (if equipped).
Use plain water if washer fluid is
unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold
weather to prevent it from freezing.
Inspecting Lead-acid
Battery
WARNING
Read the following
precautions carefully before using the
lead-acid battery or inspecting to
ensure safe and correct handling.
Always wear eye
protection when working near the
lead-acid battery.
Working without eye protection is
dangerous. Lead-acid battery fluid
contains SULFURIC ACID which could
cause blindness if splashed into your
eyes. Also, hydrogen gas produced
during normal lead-acid battery
operation, could ignite and cause the
lead-acid battery to explode.
Wear eye protection
and protective gloves to prevent
contact with lead-acid battery fluid.
Spilled lead-acid battery fluid is
dangerous.
Lead-acid battery fluid contains
SULFURIC ACID which could cause
serious injuries if it gets in eyes, or on
the skin or clothing. If this happens,
immediately flush your eyes with water
for 15 minutes or wash your skin
thoroughly and get medical attention.

Keep your tire pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needsinflating, have it inspected.Rotating the Tires
WARNING
Rotate tires periodically.
Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining
good performance in handling and
braking , rotate the tires periodically or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
Please refer to Scheduled maintenance
for your tire rotation interval.
During rotation, inspect them for
correct balance.
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tire in rotation.
Also, inspect them for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually
caused by one or a combination of the
following:
Incorrect tire pressureImproper wheel alignmentOut-of-balance wheelSevere braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures
to specification (page 10-71) and
inspect the lug nuts for tightness.

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. You
should replace the spare tire when you
replace the other road tires due to the
aging of the spare tire. 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 10-30.
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 fulltank 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
