Maintenance and Care

Essential Information

Introduction

Be careful not to hurt yourself when inspecting your vehicle, replacing a tire, or doing some

kind of maintenance such as car washing. In particular, wear thick work gloves such as

cotton gloves when touching areas that are difficult to see while inspecting or working on

your vehicle. Doing inspections or procedures with your bare hands could cause injury.

If you are unsure about any procedure this manual describes, we strongly urge you to have a

reliable and qualified service shop perform the work, preferably an Authorized Mazda

Dealer.

Factory-trained Mazda technicians and genuine Mazda parts are best for your vehicle.

Without this expertise and the parts that have been designed and made especially for your

Mazda, inadequate, incomplete, and insufficient servicing may result in problems. This

could lead to vehicle damage or an accident and injuries.

For expert advice and quality service, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

To continue warranty eligibility and to protect your investment, it is your responsibility to

properly maintain your vehicle according to factory recommended schedules outlined in this

manual. As part of this you must keep your maintenance records, receipts, repair orders and

any other documents as evidence this maintenance was performed. You must present these

documents, should any warranty coverage disagreement occur. Failure to do so can result in

your warranty being voided either in whole or in part.

This evidence may consist of the following:

^ The Mazda Scheduled Maintenance Record, refer to the Warranty Booklet, must be

completely filled out showing mileage, repair order number, date for each service, and

signed by a qualified automotive service technician who service vehicles.

^ Original copies of repair orders or other receipts that include the mileage and date the

vehicle was serviced. Each receipt should be signed by a qualified automotive service

technician.

^ For self maintenance, a statement that you completed the maintenance yourself,

displaying mileage and the date the work was performed. Also, receipts for the

replacement parts (fluid, filters, etc.) indicating the date and mileage must accompany this

statement.

Maintenance and Care

Essential Information

NOTE

If you elect to perform maintenance yourself or have your vehicle serviced at a location

other than an Authorized Mazda Dealer, Mazda requires that all fluids, parts and materials

must meet Mazda standards for durability and performance as described in this manual.

Claims against the warranty resulting from lack of maintenance, as opposed to defective

materials or authorized Mazda workmanship, will not be honored.

Any auto repair shop using parts equivalent to your Mazda's original equipment may

perform maintenance. But we recommend that it always be done by an Authorized

Mazda Dealer using genuine Mazda parts.

Selecting “Maintenance Monitor” enables the system to notify you of your vehicle's

approaching inspection/servicing period, refer to the Information section in the Mazda

Connect Owner's Manual for the details.

The malfunction diagnosis connector is designed exclusively for connecting the specially

designed device to perform on-board diagnosis.

Do not connect any devices other than the specially designed malfunction diagnosis devices

for servicing. If any device other than the malfunction diagnosis device is connected, it may

affect the vehicle's electrical devices or lead to damage such as battery depletion.

Maintenance and Care

Scheduled Maintenance

Scheduled Maintenance (U.S.A., Canada, and Puerto

Rico)

Follow Schedule 1 if the vehicle is operated mainly where none of the following conditions

(severe driving conditions) apply.

^ Repeated short-distance driving

^ Driving in dusty conditions

^ Driving with extended use of brakes

^ Driving in areas where salt or other corrosive materials are used

^ Driving on rough or muddy roads

^ Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation

^ Driving for long periods in cold temperatures or extremely humid climates

^ Driving in extremely hot conditions

^ Driving in mountainous conditions continually

If any do apply, follow Schedule 2. (Canada residents follow Schedule 2.)

Vehicles using Engine Oil Flexible Maintenance

Engine Oil Flexible Maintenance is selected by default for U.S.A. and Puerto Rico

residents.

If any following conditions do apply, follow Schedule 2 with engine oil fixed maintenance.

^ Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation such as police car, taxi or driving

school car

^ Driving in dusty conditions

The vehicle calculates the remaining oil life based on engine operating conditions. The

vehicle lets you know when an oil change is due by illuminating the wrench indicator light

in the instrument cluster. Change the oil as soon as possible within the next 1,000 km (600

mile) or 15 days. Refer to the Information section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual

for the details.

NOTE

^ Please ensure that the Flexible Oil Maintenance Setting is reset after each Oil and Filter

replacement.

^ For maintenance guidelines beyond the miles/months listed, follow the maintenance

intervals provided in the Scheduled Maintenance Tables.

Owner Maintenance Precautions

The owner or a qualified service technician should make these vehicle inspections at the

indicated intervals to ensure safe and dependable operation.

Bring any problem to the attention of an Authorized Mazda Dealer or qualified service

technician as soon as possible.

When Refueling

^ Brake fluid level (page 6-23)

^ Engine coolant level (page 6-22)

^ Tire inflation pressures (page 6-34)

At Least Twice a Year (For Example, Every Spring and Fall)

You can do the following scheduled maintenance items if you have some mechanical ability

and a few basic tools and if you closely follow the directions in this manual.

^ Engine coolant (page 6-22)

^ Engine oil (page 6-20)

Improper or incomplete service may result in problems. This section gives instructions only

for items that are easy to perform.

As explained in the Introduction (page 6-2), several procedures can be done only by a

qualified service technician with special tools.

Improper owner maintenance during the warranty period may affect warranty coverage.

Refer to Introduction (page 6-2) for owner's responsibility in protecting your investment.

For details, read the separate Mazda Warranty statement provided with the vehicle. If you

are unsure about any servicing or maintenance procedure, have it done by an Authorized

Mazda Dealer.

There are strict environmental laws regarding the disposal of waste oil and fluids. Please

dispose of your waste properly and with due regard to the environment.

We recommend that you entrust the oil and fluid changes of your vehicle to an Authorized

Mazda Dealer.

Maintenance and Care

Owner Maintenance

WARNING

Do not perform maintenance work if you lack sufficient knowledge and experience or the

proper tools and equipment to do the work. Have maintenance work done by a qualified

technician:

Performing maintenance work on a vehicle is dangerous if not done properly. You can be

seriously injured while performing some maintenance procedures.

If you must run the engine while working under the hood, make certain that you remove all

jewelry (especially rings, bracelets, watches, and necklaces) and all neckties, scarves, and

similar loose clothing before getting near the engine or cooling fan which may turn on

unexpectedly:

Working under the hood with the engine running is dangerous. It becomes even more

dangerous when you wear jewelry, loose clothing or have long hair or a long beard.

Either can become entangled in moving parts and result in injury.

Pull over to a safe location, then switch the ignition off and make sure the fan is not

running before attempting to work near the cooling fan:

Working near the cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. The fan could continue running

indefinitely even if the engine has stopped and the engine compartment temperature is high.

You could be hit by the fan and seriously injured.

Do not leave items in the engine compartment:

After you have finished checking or doing servicing in the engine compartment, do not forget

and leave items such as tools or rags in the engine compartment.

Tools or other items left in the engine compartment could cause engine damage or a fire

leading to an unexpected accident.
