Add-On Non-Genuine Parts and Accessories

Non-genuine parts and accessories for Mazda vehicles can be found in stores.

These may fit your vehicle, but they are not approved by Mazda for use with Mazda 

vehicles. When you install non-genuine parts or accessories, they could affect your vehicle's 

performance or safety systems; the Mazda warranty doesn't cover this. Before you install 

any non-genuine parts or accessories, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

WARNING

Always consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer before you install non-genuine parts or 

accessories:

Improperly designed parts or accessories could seriously affect your vehicle's performance 

or safety systems. This could cause you to have an accident or increase your chances of 

injuries in an accident.

Be very careful in choosing and installing add-on electrical equipment, such as mobile 

telephones, two-way radios, stereo systems, and car alarm systems:

Incorrectly choosing or installing improper add-on equipment or choosing an improper 

installer is dangerous. Essential systems could be damaged, causing engine stalling, air-

bag (SRS) activation, ABS/TCS/DSC inactivation, or a fire in the vehicle.

Mazda assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the 

installation of add-on non-genuine parts or accessories.
