FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY 

Each Owner is required to comply with the Written Maintenance Instructions and a claim 
under this warranty may be denied on the basis of noncompliance by the Owner with such 
instructions.

If and when it is considered that the vehicle’s nonconformity with the 

applicable emission standards has resulted from the Owner’s noncompliance with those 
Written Maintenance Instructions which the manufacturer considers necessary for the 
vehicle to meet the standards, the Owner may be required to submit evidence of such 
compliance. Receipts and other documents covering the performance of Scheduled 
Maintenance and proper use in accordance with the Written Maintenance Instructions, 
including but not limited to the validated  Scheduled  Maintenance  Record  in  this 
booklet, should, therefore, be retained by the Owner and should be transferred to 
each subsequent Owner of the Mazda Vehicle. 

Compliance with Written Maintenance Instructions 

The Mazda Vehicle is designed, built and tested using Mazda Parts so that the Mazda Vehicle 
is able to perform in conformity with EPA regulations as provided by this warranty. 
Accordingly, it is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance, repair or 
replacement of the Mazda Vehicle be Mazda Parts, or parts equivalent to those with which the 
Mazda Vehicle or its engine was originally equipped. 

Use of Mazda Parts 

Owners may elect to use parts other than Mazda Parts in the performance of any maintenance or 
repairs and such use in itself will not invalidate this warranty. However, use of parts other than 
Mazda, may cause Mazda to deny an emission performance warranty claim on the basis of 
uncertified replacement parts used in the maintenance or repair of a Mazda Vehicle if the 
uncertified replacement parts are either defective in material or workmanship or not equivalent, 
from an emission standpoint, to Mazda Parts.

Use of Non-Mazda Parts 

Mazda’s obligation to remedy nonconformities under this warranty shall be performed by a 
Mazda Dealer, which shall make all adjustments, repairs or replacements necessary to assure 
that the Mazda Vehicle complies with applicable emission standards of the EPA and that the 
Mazda Vehicle will continue to comply during the remainder of the term of this warranty (if 
proper maintenance and operation are continued).

Repair or Replacement by Mazda Dealer
