Maintenance and Care

Essential Information

Introduction

Be careful not to hurt yourself when inspecting your vehicle, replacing a tyre, 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 dif

¿ cult 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 it describes, we strongly urge you to have a reliable
and quali

¿ ed technician perform the work, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Authorised Mazda technicians and genuine Mazda parts are dedicated to your vehicle.
Without this expertise and the parts that have been designed and made especially for your
Mazda, inadequate, incomplete, and insuf

¿ cient servicing may result in problems. This

could lead to vehicle damage or an accident and injuries.

For expert advice and quality service, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.

The owner should retain evidence that proper maintenance has been performed as
prescribed.

A claim against a warranty will not qualify if it results from lack of maintenance and not
from defective material or authorised workmanship.

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.

Emission control and related systems

All inspections and adjustments must be made by an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.

If the vehicle is operated primarily under any of the following conditions, inspect the drive belts at every
20,000 km (12,500 miles) or 12 months.

a) Driving in dusty conditions
b) Extended periods of idling or low speed operation
c) Driving for long period in cold temperatures or driving regularly at short distance only
d) Driving in extremely hot conditions
e) Driving in mountainous conditions continually

*4 SKYACTIV-G 1.5 and SKYACTIV-G 2.0 vehicles can select

where none of the following conditions apply.

a) Purpose of vehicle use is police car, taxi or driving school car.
b) Driving in dusty conditions
c) Extended periods of idling or low speed operation

Once the

À exible maintenance is selected, the vehicle calculates the remaining oil life based on engine

operating conditions and lets you know when an oil change is due by illuminating the wrench indicator light in
the instrument cluster.

Replace the engine oil and

¿ lter when message/wrench indicator light is ON. And they must be changed at least

once a year or within 20,000 km (12,500 miles) since last engine oil and
