FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY

Each Owner is required to comply with the Written Maintenance Instructions and 
a claim under this warranty may be denied on the basis of noncompliance by the 
Owner with such instructions. 

If and when it is considered that the vehicle’s 

nonconformity with the applicable emission standards has resulted from the 
Owner’s noncompliance with those Written Maintenance Instructions which the 
manufacturer considers necessary for the vehicle to meet the standards, the 
Owner may be required to submit evidence of such compliance. Receipts and 
other documents covering the performance of Scheduled Maintenance and 
proper  use  in  accordance with the Written Maintenance Instructions, including 
but not limited to the validated  Scheduled  Maintenance  Record  in  this  booklet, 
should, therefore, be retained by the Owner and should be transferred to each 
subsequent  Owner  of the Mazda Vehicle.

Compliance with Written Maintenance Instructions

The Mazda Vehicle is designed, built and tested using Mazda Parts so that the Mazda 
Vehicle is able to perform in conformity with EPA regulations as provided by this 
warranty. Accordingly, it is recommended that any replacement parts used for 
maintenance, repair or replacement of the Mazda Vehicle be Mazda Parts, or parts 
equivalent to those with which the Mazda Vehicle or its engine was originally 
equipped.

Use of Mazda Parts

Owners may elect to use parts other than Mazda Parts in the performance of any 
maintenance or repairs and such use in itself will not invalidate this warranty. 
However, use of parts other than Mazda, may cause Mazda to deny an emission 
performance warranty claim on the basis of uncertified replacement parts used in the 
maintenance or repair of a Mazda Vehicle if the uncertified replacement parts are 
either defective in material or workmanship or not equivalent, from an emission 
standpoint, to Mazda Parts.

Use of Non-Mazda Parts

Mazda’s obligation to remedy nonconformities under this warranty shall be 
performed by a Mazda Dealer, which shall make all adjustments, repairs or 
replacements necessary to assure that the Mazda Vehicle complies with applicable 
emission standards of the EPA and that the Mazda Vehicle will continue to comply 
during the remainder of the term of this warranty (if proper maintenance and 
operation are continued).

Repair or Replacement by Mazda Dealer
