Seat Belt Maintenance
WARNING
If a seat belt appears frayed or has
abrasions, have it replaced by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
If a seat belt is used under such a
condition, it cannot function at its full
capacity which could result in serious
injury or death.
Use a mild detergent to remove
soiling from a seat belt.
If organic solvents are used for cleaning
the seat belts or they become stained
or bleached, there is the possibility of
them becoming weakened and as a
result, they may not function at their
full capacity which could cause serious
injury or death.
Do not disassemble, modify, or
replace a seat belt.
If a seat belt is used under such a
condition, it cannot function at its full
capacity which could result in serious
injury or death.
Always have your vehicle inspected by
an Authorized Mazda Dealer if the
vehicle has been involved in an
accident.
Seat belts with the pretensioner system
and the seat belts with the load-limiter
system cannot be reused once they
have operated (deployed).
If a seat belt is used under such a
condition, it cannot function at its full
capacity which could result in serious
injury or death.
Always consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer when scrapping the vehicle.
If the pretensioner system operates
(deploys) unexpectedly, it could result
in serious injury or death.
Do not repair the pretensioner system
parts or wiring harnesses and do not
attempt diagnose the pretensioner
system circuits using an electrical
tester or similar device.
Otherwise, they may not function
normally or they may operate
incorrectly, which could result in
serious injury or death.
Check periodically that the seat belt
systems work properly and are not
damaged.
1. Lightly tap with a mild detergent toremove dirt.
2. Wipe with a thoroughly wrung cloth.
3. Allow to dry.
4. Make sure that the seat belt locks
when it is pulled rapidly. If it is still
not retracting properly, have it
inspected at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
NOTE
Clean seat belts diligently if they get
dirty. Leaving them uncleaned will
make it difficult to clean them later,
and it may affect the smooth retracting
of the seat belt.

Add-On Non-GenuineParts and Accessories
Non-genuine parts and accessories for
Mazda vehicles can be found in stores.
These may fit your vehicle, but they are
not approved by Mazda for use with
Mazda vehicles. When you install
non-genuine parts or accessories, they
could affect your vehicle's
performance or safe ty systems; the
Mazda warranty doesn't cover this.
Before you install any non-genuine
parts or accessories, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
WARNING
Always consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer before you install non-genuine

Cell Phones Warning
WARNING
Please comply with the legal
regulations concerning the use of
communication equipment in vehicles
in your country.
Use of any electrical devices such as
cell phones, computers, portable
radios, vehicle navigation or other
devices by the driver while the vehicle
is moving is dangerous. Dialing a
number on a cell phone while driving
also ties-up the driver's hands. Use of
these devices will cause the driver to
be distracted and could lead to a
serious accident. If a passenger is
unable to use the device, pull off the
right-of-way to a safe area before use.
If use of a cell phone is necessary
despite this warning, use a hands-free
system to at least leave the hands free
to drive the vehicle. Never use a cell
phone or other electrical devices while
the vehicle is moving and, instead,
concentrate on the full-time job of
driving.

Traction-AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. These
grades represent the tire's ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction performance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on braking (straight ahead)
traction tests and does not include
acceleration cornering (turning),
hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.
Temperature-A, B, C
The temperature grades A (the
highest), B, and C, represent the tire's
resistance to the generation of heat
and its ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory test
wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause
the material of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive
temperatures can lead to sudden tire
failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger
vehicle tires must meet under the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent
higher levels of performance on the
laboratory test wheel than the
minimum required by law.
WARNING
Keep your vehicle's tires properly
inflated and not overloaded.
Driving with improperly inflated or
overloaded tires is dangerous.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure. The
temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded.
These grades will be added to the
sidewalls of passenger vehicle tires
over the next several years according to
a schedule established by the NHTSA
and the tire manufacturers.

Tire Labeling
Federal law requires tire manufacturers
to place standardized information on
the sidewall of all tires. This
information identifies and describes
the fundamental characteristics of the
tire and also provides a tire
identification number for safety
standard certification and in case of a
recall.

Tire Ply Composition and Materials
Used
The number of plies indicates the
number of layers of rubber-coated
fabric in the tire. In general, the greater
the number of plies, the more weight a
tire can support. Tire manufacturers
also must indicate the tire materials,
which include steel, nylon, polyester,
and other.
Maximum Load Rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that can
be carried by the tire.
Maximum Permissible Inflation
Pressure
This number is the greatest amount of
air pressure that should ever be put in
the tire under normal driving
conditions.
Tread Wear, Traction and Temperature
Grades
Trea d wea r : The tread wear grade is a
comparative rating based on the wear
rate of the tire when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example,
a tire graded 150 would wear one and
one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded
100.
Tra c t i o n : The traction grades, from
highest to lowest are AA, A, B, and C.
The grades represent the tire's ability
to stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction performance.
Temperature: The temperature grades
are A (the highest), B and C,
representing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to
dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified
indoor laboratory test wheel.
Snow Tires
In some heavy snow areas, local
governments may require true snow
tires, those with very deeply cut tread.
These tires should only be used in pairs
or placed on all four wheels. Make
sure you purchase snow tires that are
the same size and construction type as
the other tires on your vehicle.
SAFETY WARNING
The following safety warning appears
on the tire's sidewall.

Location of the Tire Label(Placard)
You will find the tire label containing
tire inflation pressure by tire size and
other important information on the
driver's side B-pillar or on the edge of
the driver's door frame.
SAMPLE
Recommended Tire
Inflation Pressure
On the tire label you will find the
recommended tire inflation pressure in
both kPa and psi for the tires installed
as original equipment on the vehicle. It
is very important that the inflation
pressure of the tires on your vehicle is
maintained at the recommended
pressure. You should check the tire
pressure regularly to insure that the
proper inflation pressure is maintained.
Refer to Tires on page 10-71.
NOTE
Tire pressures listed on the vehicle
placard or tire information label
indicate the recommended cold tire
inflation pressure, measured when the
tires are cold, after the vehicle has
been parked for at least 3 hours. As
you drive, the temperature in the tire
warms up, increasing the tire pressure.
WARNING
Always check the tire inflation
pressures on a regular basis according
to the recommended tire inflation
pressure on the tire label and in
conjunction with the information in
this owner's manual.
Driving your vehicle with
under-inflated tires is dangerous.
