Introduction

Be careful not to hurt yourself when

inspecting your vehicle, replacing a

tire, or doing some kind of

maintenance such as changing the oil

and 

fi

lter. In particular, wear thick work

gloves such as cotton gloves when

touching areas that are di

ffi

cult to see

while inspecting or working on your

vehicle. Doing inspections or

procedures with your bare hands could

cause injury.

If you are unsure about any procedure

this manual describes, we strongly urge

you to have a reliable and quali

fi

ed

service shop perform the work,

preferably an Authorized Mazda

Dealer.

Factory-trained Mazda technicians and

genuine Mazda parts are best for your

vehicle. Without this expertise and the

parts that have been designed and

made especially for your Mazda,

inadequate, incomplete, and

insu

ffi

cient servicing may result in

problems. This could lead to vehicle

damage or an accident and injuries.

For expert advice and quality service,

consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

To continue warranty eligibility and to

protect your investment, it is your

responsibility to properly maintain your

vehicle according to factory

recommended schedules outlined in

this manual. As part of this you must

keep your maintenance records,

receipts, repair orders and any other

documents as evidence this

maintenance was performed. You must

present these documents, should any

warranty coverage disagreement occur.

Failure to do so can result in your

warranty being voided either in whole

or in part.

This evidence may consist of the

following:



The Mazda Scheduled Maintenance

Record, refer to the Warranty

Booklet, must be completely 

fi

lled

out showing mileage, repair order

number, date for each service, and

signed by a quali

fi

ed automotive

service technician who service

vehicles.



Original copies of repair orders or

other receipts that include the

mileage and date the vehicle was

serviced. Each receipt should be

signed by a quali

fi

ed automotive

service technician.



For self maintenance, a statement

that you completed the maintenance

yourself, displaying mileage and the

date the work was performed. Also,

receipts for the replacement parts

(

fl

uid, 

fi

lters, etc.) indicating the date

and mileage must accompany this

statement.
