Break-In Period

No special break-in is necessary, but a few
precautions in the first 1,000 km (600
miles) may add to the performance,
economy, and life of your Mazda.

l

Do not race the engine.

l

Do not maintain one constant speed,
either slow or fast, for a long period of
time.

l

Do not drive constantly at full-throttle
or high engine rpm for extended
periods of time.

l

Avoid unnecessary hard stops.

l

Avoid full-throttle starts.

Money-Saving Suggestions

How you operate your Mazda determines
how far it will travel on a tank of fuel. Use
these suggestions to help save money on
fuel and repairs.

l

Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine
runs smoothly, begin driving.

l

Avoid fast starts.

l

Keep the engine tuned. Follow the
maintenance schedule (page 8-4) and
have an Authorized Mazda Dealer
perform inspections and servicing.

Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.

l

Slow down on rough roads.

l

Keep the tires properly inflated.

Slow down when driving in crosswinds
and headwinds.

WARNING

Never stop the engine when going
down a hill:

Stopping the engine when going
down a hill is dangerous. This causes
the loss of power steering and power
brake control, and may cause
damage to the drivetrain. Any loss of
steering or braking control could
cause an accident.
