Compliance with Written Maintenance Instructions

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 non-confor-

mity with the applicable emission standards has resulted from the Owner’s non-
compliance with those Written Maintenance Instructions which the manufactur-
er 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 accor-
dance 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.

Use of Mazda Parts

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 mainte-
nance, 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 Non-Mazda Parts

Owners may elect to use parts other than Mazda Parts in the performance of any main-
tenance 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 warran-
ty 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.

■

Repair or Replacement by Mazda Dealer

Mazda’s obligation to remedy nonconformities under this warranty shall be performed
by a Mazda Dealer, which shall make all adjustments, repairs or replacements neces-
sary 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).
