Maintenance and Care

Essential Information

Claims against the warranty resulting from lack of maintenance, as opposed to defective 

materials or authorized Mazda workmanship, will not be honored.

Any auto repair shop using parts equivalent to your Mazda's original equipment may 

perform maintenance. 

But we recommend that it always be done by an Authorized 

Mazda Dealer using genuine Mazda parts.

Selecting “Maintenance Monitor” enables the system to notify you of your vehicle's 

approaching inspection/servicing period (page 6-18).

The malfunction diagnosis connector is designed exclusively for connecting the specially 

designed device to perform on-board diagnosis.

Do not connect any devices other than the specially designed malfunction diagnosis devices 

for servicing. If any device other than the malfunction diagnosis device is connected, it may 

affect the vehicle's electrical devices or lead to damage such as battery depletion.
