Floor Mat

We recommend the use of Genuine

Mazda 

fl

oor mats.

WARNING

Make sure the 

fl

oor mats are hooked

on the retention pins to prevent them

from bunching up under the foot

pedals:

Using a 

fl

oor mat that is not secured is

dangerous as it will interfere with the

accelerator and brake pedal operation,

which could result in an accident.

Do not install two 

fl

oor mats, one on

top of the other, on the driver's side:

Installing two 

fl

oor mats, one on top of

the other, on the driver's side is

dangerous as the retention pins can

only keep one 

fl

oor mat from sliding

forward.

Loose 

fl

oor mat(s) will interfere with

the foot pedals and could result in an

accident.

If using an all-weather mat for winter

use always remove the original 

fl

oor

mat.

When setting a 

fl

oor mat, position the

fl

oor mat so that its grommets are

inserted over the pointed end of the

retention posts.

Rocking the Vehicle

WARNING

Do not spin the wheels at more than

56 km/h (35 mph), and do not allow

anyone to stand behind a wheel when

pushing the vehicle:

When the vehicle is stuck, spinning the

wheels at high speed is dangerous. The

spinning tire could overheat and

explode. This could cause serious

injuries.

CAUTION

Too much rocking may cause engine

overheating, transmission failure, and

tire damage.
If you must rock the vehicle to free it

from snow, sand or mud, depress the

accelerator slightly and slowly move

the shift lever/selector lever from 1 (D)

to R position.
