SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS

To help you service your vehicle, we provide

scheduled maintenance

information

which makes tracking routine service easy.

If your vehicle requires professional service, your authorized dealer can
provide necessary parts and service. Check your Warranty Information to
find out which parts and services are covered.

Use only recommended fuels, lubricants, fluids and service parts
conforming to specifications. Genuine Mazda parts are designed and built
to provide the best performance in your vehicle.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN SERVICING YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING:

A hot engine is dangerous. If the engine has been

running, parts of the engine compartment can become very hot.

You could be burned. Don’t inspect the coolant system or add coolant
when the engine is hot.

Do not work on a hot engine.

Make sure that nothing gets caught in moving parts.

Do not work on a vehicle with the engine running in an enclosed
space, unless you are sure you have enough ventilation.

Keep all open flames and other lit material away from the battery and
all fuel related parts.

Working with the engine off

1. For vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, set the

parking brake and shift to P (Park). For vehicles equipped with a
manual transmission, set the parking brake, press and hold the
clutch pedal, place the gearshift in 1 (First), and release the clutch
pedal.

2. Turn off the engine and remove the key.
