FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY

5. Emission Performance Warranty

Important Notice:

This warranty has been prepared in accordance with certain regulations promulgat-
ed by the EPA which provide that a remedy will be available under this warranty
only when a vehicle fails an EPA approved emission short test; usually this means
when an Owner could be subject to a penalty under state or federal law because of
such failure. At the date of the printing of this warranty, some states did not have
vehicle inspection programs for testing vehicles for conformity with such short
tests and had not enacted laws subjecting vehicle Owners to such penalties.
Therefore, it is possible that in some states or local areas no remedy will be avail-
able under this warranty as a matter of law.

Warranty

Pursuant to Section 207 (b) of the U.S. Clean Air Act, Mazda warrants to each Owner
that if:
(a) The Mazda Vehicle is maintained and operated in compliance with the Written

Maintenance Instructions; and

(b) The Mazda Vehicle fails to conform at any time during the term of this warranty

to the applicable emission standards as judged by an emission test approved by
the EPA; and

(c) Such nonconformity results or will result in the Owner having to bear any penalty

or other sanction (including the denial of the right to use the Mazda Vehicle)
under local, state or Federal law; and

(d) If such nonconformity results from the failure of an Emission Warranty Part.

Mazda shall remedy the nonconformity at no cost to the Owner in accordance with the
following:

•

During a period of vehicle operation that does not exceed

24 months* or 

24,000 miles,

whichever comes first, if the failed Emission Warranty Part is listed in

the 24 months/24,000 miles Emission Warranty Parts List in Section 6.

•

During a period of vehicle operation that does not exceed

96 months* or 

80,000 miles,

whichever comes first, if the failed Emission Warranty Part is listed in

the 96 months/80,000 miles Emission Warranty Parts List in Section 7.

* The months during which the vehicle has been in operation are counted from the

date of first use of the vehicle or the date of its retail delivery, whichever came
first.
