2. While the engine idles, turn the steering wheel left and right several

times.

3. Turn the engine off.

4. Check the fluid level in the

reservoir. It should be between
the MIN and MAX lines. Do not
add fluid if the level is in this
range.

5. If the fluid is low, add fluid in small amounts, continuously checking

the level until it reaches the range between the MIN and MAX lines.
Be sure to put the cap back on the reservoir.

BRAKE/CLUTCH (IF EQUIPPED) FLUID

Brake and clutch systems are supplied from the same reservoir.

The fluid level will drop slowly as
the brakes wear, and will rise when
the brake components are replaced.
Fluid levels between the “MIN” and
“MAX” lines are within the normal
operating range, there is no need to
add fluid. If the fluid levels are
outside of the normal operating
range, the performance of your
brake/clutch (if equipped) system
could be compromised, seek service
from an authorized Mazda dealer immediately.

TRANSMISSION FLUID

Checking automatic transmission fluid

Refer to your scheduled maintenance section for scheduled intervals for
fluid checks and changes. Your transaxle does not consume fluid.
However, the fluid level should be checked if the transaxle is not working
properly, i.e., if the transaxle slips or shifts slowly or if you notice some
sign of fluid leakage.
