Inspecting Brake/Clutch Fluid
Level

WARNING

If the brake/clutch fluid level is low,
have the brakes inspected:

A low brake/clutch fluid level is
dangerous.
A low level could indicate brake lining
wear or a brake system leak which
could cause the brakes to fail and lead
to an accident.

The brakes and clutch draw fluid from
the same reservoir.
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir
regularly. It should be kept between
the MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake and
clutch linings. If it is excessively low,
have the brake/clutch system
inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

Inspecting Washer Fluid Level

WARNING

Use only windshield washer fluid or
plain water in the reservoir:

Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield,
affect your visibility, and could result in
an accident.

Using Washer Fluid Without
Anti-freeze Protection in Cold
Weather:

Operating your vehicle in temperatures
below 4 °C (40 °F) using washer fluid
without anti-freeze protection is
dangerous as it could cause impaired
windshield vision and result in an
accident. In cold weather, always use
washer fluid with anti-freeze
protection.
