Introduction

Be extremely careful to prevent injury to
yourself and others and damage to your
vehicle when using this manual for
inspection and maintenance.

If you’re unsure about any procedure it
describes, we strongly urge you to have a
reliable and qualified service shop per-
form the work, preferably an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

Factory-trained Mazda technicians and
genuine Mazda parts are best for your
vehicle. Without this expertise and the

parts that have been designed and made
especially for your Mazda, inadequate,
incomplete, and insufficient servicing
may result in problems. This could lead to
vehicle damage or an accident and injuries.

For expert advice and quality service,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

The owner should retain evidence that
proper maintenance has been performed
as prescribed.

A claim against a warranty will not qual-
ify if it results from lack of maintenance
and not from defective material or autho-
rized Mazda workmanship.

Any auto repair shop using parts equiva-
lent to your Mazda’s original equipment
may perform maintenance. 

But we rec-

ommend that it always be done by
an Authorized Mazda Dealer using
genuine Mazda parts.
