NOTE

Changing the coolant should be done by
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Inspect the antifreeze protection and
coolant level in the coolant reservoir at
least once a year―at the beginning of the
winter season―and before traveling where
temperatures may drop below freezing.
 
Inspect the condition and connections of
all cooling system and heater hoses.
Replace any that are swollen or
deteriorated.
 
The coolant should be at full in the
radiator and between the F and L marks on
the coolant reservoir when the engine is
cool.
 

If it is at or near L, add enough coolant to
the coolant reservoir to provide freezing
and corrosion protection and to bring the
level to F.
Securely tighten the coolant reservoir tank
cap after adding coolant.

CAUTION



Radiator coolant will damage paint.
Rinse it off quickly if spilled.



If the “FL22” mark is shown on or near
the cooling system cap, use of FL-22 is
recommended when replacing engine
coolant. Using engine coolant other than
FL-22 may cause serious damage to the
engine and cooling system.

If the coolant reservoir is empty or new
coolant is required frequently, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
