Remarks:

*

1 Use of FL-22 is recommended when replacing engine coolant. Using engine coolant other than FL-22 may

cause serious damage to the engine and cooling system.

*

2 According to state/provincial and federal regulations, failure to perform maintenance on these items will not

void your emissions warranties. However, Mazda recommends that all maintenance services be performed at
the recommended time or mileage/kilometer period to ensure long-term reliability.

*

3 To equalize tread wear for maintaining good performance in handling and braking, rotate the tires every

12,000 km (7,500 miles). However Mazda recommends to rotate every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) to help increase
tire life and distribute wear more evenly.

*

4 The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) initialization must be performed so that the system operates

normally (if equipped).

*

5 If this component has been submerged in water, the oil should be replaced.

*

6 Check the tire repair fluid expiration date every year when performing the periodic maintenance. Replace the

tire repair fluid bottle with new one before the expiration date.
