Overheating

5. Check the coolant level.

If it’s low, look for leaks in the radiator 
hoses and connections, heater hoses 
and connections, radiator, and water 
pump.
If you find a leak or other damage, or if 
coolant is still leaking, stop the engine 
and call an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

If you find no problems, the engine is 
cool, and no leaks are obvious, carefully 
add coolant as required (page 8-13).

If the engine continues to overheat or

system inspected. The engine could be 
seriously damaged unless repairs are
