Checking and adding brake fluid

Brake fluid should be checked and

refilled as needed. Refer to the

scheduled maintenance section for

the service interval schedules.

1. Clean the reservoir cap before

removal to prevent dirt or water

from entering the reservoir.

2. Visually inspect the fluid level.
3. If necessary, add brake fluid

from a clean un-opened

container until the level reaches

MAX. Do not fill above this line.

4. Use only brake fluids certified

to meet Mazda specifications.

Refer to

Lubricant

specifications

in this chapter.

DOT 3 fluid is recommended. However, if DOT 3 is not available,

DOT 4 fluid can be used.

WARNING: Brake fluid is toxic. If brake fluid contacts the

eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Seek

medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink

water and induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.

WARNING: If you use DOT 5 or any other brake fluid that is

not DOT 3 or DOT 4, you will cause permanent damage to your

brakes.

WARNING: Do not let the fluid level in the reservoir for the

master cylinder fall below the MIN mark. If master cylinder

runs dry, this may cause the brakes to fail.
