WARNING: Do not put engine coolant in the windshield washer
fluid container. If sprayed on the windshield, engine coolant
could make it difficult to see through the windshield.

The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with green-colored Mazda
Premium Engine Coolant meeting Mazda Specifications. To determine
your vehicle’s coolant type (color), check your coolant reservoir.

To maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system
and maintain the warranty on the cooling system:

Add Mazda Premium Engine Coolant or the type of coolant
originally equipped in your vehicle.

If you are unsure which type

of coolant your vehicle requires, check your coolant reservoir or
contact your local dealer.

Do not add/mix an orange-colored, extended life coolant such
as Mazda Speciality Orange Engine Coolant, meeting Mazda
specifications with the factory-filled coolant.

Mixing Mazda

Speciality Orange Engine Coolant or any orange-colored extended life
product with your factory filled coolant can result in degraded
corrosion protection.

A large amount of water without engine coolant may be added, in case
of emergency, to reach a vehicle service location. In this instance, the
cooling system must be drained and refilled with a 50/50 mixture of
engine coolant and distilled water as soon as possible. Water alone
(without engine coolant) can cause engine damage from corrosion,
overheating or freezing.

Do not use alcohol, methanol or brine or any engine coolants
mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze (coolant).

Alcohol

and other liquids can cause engine damage from overheating or
freezing.

Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to the coolant.

These

can be harmful and compromise the corrosion protection of the engine
coolant.

Do not mix with recycled coolant unless from a
Mazda-approved recycling process (see

Use of Recycled Engine

Coolant

section.
