Mazda North American Operations has agreed to participate in a dispute settlement program 
administered by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) system, at no cost to you the consumer.

  BBB AUTO LINE works with consumers and the manufacturer in an attempt to reach a 
mutually acceptable resolution of any warranty related concerns. If the BBB is not able to 
facilitate a settlement they will provide an informal hearing before an arbitrator.

AUTO LINE before exercising any rights or seeking remedies under the “Lemon Law”. If 
you choose to seek remedies that are not created by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or
