Appearance Care

*Some models.

WARNING

If a seat belt appears frayed or has 

abrasions, have it replaced by an 

Authorized Mazda Dealer:

If a seat belts is used under such a 

condition, it cannot function at its full 

capacity which could result in serious 

injury or death.

Use a mild detergent to remove soiling 

from a seat belt:

If organic solvents are used for 

cleaning the seat belts or they 

become stained or bleached, there 

is the possibility of them becoming 

weakened and as a result, they may 

not function at their full capacity 

which could cause serious injury or 

death.

NOTE

Clean seat belts diligently if they get 

dirty. Leaving them uncleaned will make 

it difficult to clean them later, and it may 

affect the smooth retracting of the seat 

belt.

upholstery using a brush or vacuum.

Remove soiling from vinyl upholstery

NOTE

Rubbing the interior side of the soft top
