Brake/Clutch Fluid; Owner Maintenance; Inspecting Brake/Clutch Fluid Level- Page 320

CAUTION



Radiator coolant will damage paint.
Rinse it off quickly if spilled.



If the “FL22” mark is shown on or near
the cooling system cap, 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.

If the coolant reservoir is empty or new
coolant is required frequently, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Inspecting Brake/Clutch Fluid Level

WARNING

If the brake/clutch fluid level is low, have
the brakes inspected:

A low brake/clutch fluid level is dangerous.
A low level could indicate brake lining wear
or a brake system leak which could cause
the brakes to fail and lead to an accident.

The brakes and clutch draw fluid from the
same reservoir.
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir
regularly. It should be kept between the
MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake and clutch
linings. If it is excessively low, have the
brake/clutch system inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
