CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY 

(A) If the Mazda Dealer determines that an emission-related part listed in this warranty booklet 

specially noted with coverage for 7 years or 70,000 miles is defective, then Mazda shall be 
liable for the expenses of detecting and correcting the part failure or malfunction, unless the 
Mazda Dealer demonstrates one or more conditions as provided under Section 9, the “What 
Is Not Covered” section of this warranty. This section applies to situations after a period of 
use of 3 years or 50,000 miles, but before a period of use of 7 years or 70,000 miles. 

In the alternative, the Owner of a Mazda Vehicle whose emission-related part listed in this 
warranty booklet specially noted with coverage for 7 years or 70,000 miles is defective may 
choose to have the Mazda Vehicle repaired at another repair facility other than a Mazda 
Dealer. If a warrantable defect is found, the Owner may deliver the Mazda Vehicle to a 
Mazda Dealer and have the defect corrected free of charge. Mazda shall not be liable for any 
expense incurred at a service establishment not authorized to perform warranty repairs, 
except when an “emergency” situation exists as specified in Section 6 (b), in this warranty. 

Mazda will not reimburse the Owner for any emission-related diagnosis or repair by an 
automotive service establishment or individual other than a Mazda Dealer except when an 
“emergency” situation exists. 

If Mazda or the Mazda Dealer fails to notify the Owner within 30 days that the repair, 
replacement, or diagnosis is not covered by this performance warranty, unless so requested 
by the Owner, or due to events beyond the control of Mazda or the Mazda Dealer, Mazda 
shall be responsible for repairing the Mazda Vehicle free of charge to the Owner. 

Maintenance records and receipts should be retained in the event questions arise concerning 
maintenance, and should be transferred to each subsequent owner. 

(B) If the Mazda Dealer demonstrates one or more conditions as provided under Section 9, the 

“What Is Not Covered” section of this Warranty, the Owner shall be liable for all diagnostic 
and repair expenses. 

(C) If the Mazda Dealer determines an emission-related part listed in this warranty booklet 

specially noted with coverage for 7 years or 70,000 miles is defective and in combination 
with one or more conditions as provided under Section 9, the “What Is Not Covered” section 
of this warranty, then Mazda shall be liable for the diagnostic and repair costs related to 
detecting and repairing the warrantable defects.
