FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY

25

1. Introduction

The Federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufacturers to provide two emissions-
related warranties:

•

The Federal Emissions Defect Warranty, which covers certain parts of each vehicle’s
emissions control systems against defects in materials and workmanship, and 

•

The Federal Emissions Performance Warranty, which covers repairs to certain parts of
each vehicle’s emission control system 

if certain conditions are met

(see Section 5.,

for those conditions).

These two emission warranties apply to all Mazda Vehicles (including those registered
in states requiring California-certified vehicles). They are given in lieu of all other
express or implied warranties (except those set forth separately in this booklet) on the
part of Mazda, Mazda Importer/Distributor or the Mazda Dealer selling this Mazda
Vehicle. No dealer, or any agent or employee thereof, is authorized to extend or
expand these warranties.
