2024 MAZDA CX90 OIL

Wear seat belts only as recommended
in this owner's manual.
Incorrect positioning of the seat belts is
dangerous. Without proper
positioning, the pretensioner and load
limiting systems cannot provide
adequate protection in an accident
and this could result in serious injury.
For more details about wearing seat
belts, refer to "How to Use the Seat
Belts" (page 3-25).
Do not modify the components or
wiring, or use electronic testing
devices on the pretensioner system.
Modifying the components or wiring of
the pretensioner system, including the
use of electronic testing devices is
dangerous. You could accidentally
activate it or make it inoperable which
would prevent it from activating in an
accident. The occupants or person
making the modification could be
seriously injured.
Properly dispose of the pretensioner
system.
Improper disposal of the pretensioner
system or a vehicle with
non-deactivated pretensioners is
dangerous. Unless all safety
procedures are followed, injury could
result. Have an Authorized Mazda
Dealer safely dispose of the
pretensioner system or scrap a
pretensioner system equipped vehicle.CAUTION
Belt retraction may become difficult if
the belts and rings are soiled, so try to
keep them clean. For more details
about cleaning the seat belts, refer to
"Seat Belt Maintenance" (page
9-40).

Do not apply accessories, stickers, or
film to the windshield near the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). If the
area in front of the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) lens is obstructed, it
will cause the system to not operate
correctly even if it is transparent.
 Always keep the windshield glass
around the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) clean by removing dirt or
fogging. If the windshield is fogged,
press the windshield defroster
switch.
 The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
includes a function for detecting a
soiled windshield and informing the
driver, however, depending on the
conditions, it may not detect plastic
shopping bags, water or snow on the
windshield. In such cases, the system
cannot accurately determine a
vehicle or obstruction in front and
may not be able to operate normally.
Always drive carefully and pay
attention to the road ahead.
 When cleaning the windshield, do
not allow glass cleaners or similar
cleaning fluids to get on the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens. In
addition, do not touch the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens.
 Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
regarding cleaning the interior side of
the windshield around the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
 If there are cracks or damage caused
by flying gravel or debris on the
windshield, always have the
windshield replaced. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer before
replacing the windshield.
 Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
before doing repairs around the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).When doing repairs around the
rearview mirror, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 Always use tires of the specified size
and the same manufacturer, brand,
and tread pattern on all 4 wheels. In
addition, do not use tires with
significantly different wear patterns
or tire pressures on the same vehicle
(including temporary spare tire).
NOTE
If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
does not function normally due to
fog or the vehicle being driven
towards the sun, the functions
related to the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) are temporarily
stopped. In this case, the following
warning indications turn on.
However, this does not indicate a
problem.

Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
check the following:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Inspecting the Coolant on
page 9-14.
Inspect the battery and its cables.
Cold reduces battery capacity.
Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that
the vehicle will be driven in (page
9-18).
Inspect the ignition system for
damage and loose connections.
Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze―but do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid
(page 9-17).
When driving on ice or in water, snow,
mud, sand, or similar hazards:
Be cautious and allow extra distance
for braking.
Avoid sudden braking and sudden
maneuvering.
Do not pump the brakes. Continue
to press down on the brake pedal.
Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS)
on page 5-84.
If you get stuck, select a lower gear
and accelerate slowly. Do not spin
the rear wheels.
For more traction in starting on
slippery surfaces such as ice or
packed snow, use sand, rock salt,
chains, carpeting, or other nonslip
material under the rear wheels.
NOTE
Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windshield is dangerous
as it could obstruct vision.
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice
or frozen snow on the mirror glass
and windshield.
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.
Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake
components. If this situation occurs,
drive the vehicle slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to
normal.
