AIR BAG SUPPLEMENT AL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) Important supplemental restraint system (SRS) precautions The supplemental restraint system is designed to work with the safety belt to help protect the driver and right front passenger from certain upper body injuries.
W ARNING: National Highway T raffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of at least 25 cm (10 inches) between an occupant’ s chest and the driver air bag module. W ARNING: Never place your arm over the air bag module as a deploying air bag can result in serious arm fractures or other injuries.
Children and air bags For additional important safety information, read all information on safety restraints in this guide. W ARNING: Children must always be properly restrained. Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position.
The air bags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After air bag deployment, it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder (to lubricate the bag) or sodium compounds (e.
• diagnostic module • and the electrical wiring which connects the components. The diagnostic module monitors its own internal circuits and the supplemental air bag electrical system warning (including the impact sensors), the system wiring, the air bag system readiness light, the air bag back up power and the air bag ignitors.
Side air bag system (if equipped) W ARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the air bag cover on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats or in front seat areas that may come into contact with a deploying air bag. This is dangerous.
W ARNING: Seating Position with Side Air Bags Sitting too close to the side air bag storage compartments or placing hands on them is extremely dangerous. A side air bag inflates with great force and speed directly out of the outboard shoulder of the front seat and expands along the front door on the side the car is hit.
W ARNING: All occupants of the vehicle including the driver should always wear their safety belts even when an air bag SRS is provided. How does the side air bag system work? The side air bag system c.
near -frontal or opposite side collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateral deceleration. W ARNING: Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not touch them after inflation. W ARNING: If the side air bag has deployed, the air bag will not function again.
Disposal of air bags and air bag equipped vehicles For disposal of air bags or air bag equipped vehicles, see your authorized Mazda dealership. Air bags MUST BE disposed of by qualified personnel. W ARNING: Disposing of an air bag can be dangerous. Unless all safety procedures are followed, injury can result.
Follow all the important safety restraint and air bag precautions that apply to adult passengers in your vehicle. If the shoulder belt portion of a combination lap and shoulder belt can be positioned so it does not cross or rest in front of the child’ s face or neck, the child should wear the lap and shoulder belt.
SAFETY SEATS FOR CHILDREN Child and infant or child safety seats Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size and weight of the child. Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’ s instructions with the safety seat you put in your vehicle.
• Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode. Refer to Automatic locking mode (passenger side front seat). Mazda recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position which is capable of providing a tether anchorage.
2. Pull down on the shoulder belt and then grasp the shoulder belt and lap belt together . 3. While holding the shoulder and lap belt portions together , route the tongue through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions.
5. T o put the retractor in the automatic locking mode, grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull downward until all of the belt is extracted and a click is heard. 6. Allow the belt to retract. The belt will click as it retracts to indicate it is in the automatic locking mode.
Check to make sure the child seat is properly secured before each use. Attaching child safety seats with tether straps Most new forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which goes over the back of the seat and hooks to an anchoring point.
3. Locate the correct anchor for the selected seating position. NOTE: There are three tether anchors located on the headliner at the rear of the vehicle. W ARNING: If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly , the child safety seat may not be retained properly in the event of a collision.
Attaching safety seats with LA TCH (Lower Anchors and T ethers for Children) attachments for child seat anchors Some child safety seats have two rigid or webbing mounted attachments that connect to two anchors at certain seating positions in your vehicle.
The lower anchors for child seat installation are located at the rear section of the rear seat between the cushion and seat back. Follow the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions to properly install a child seat with LA TCH attachments. W ARNING: Attach LA TCH lower attachments of the child seat only to the anchors shown.
STARTING Positions of the ignition 1. LOCK, locks the gearshift lever and allows key removal. 2. ACCESSORY , allows the electrical accessories such as the radio to operate while the engine is not running. 3. ON, all electrical circuits operational. W arning lights illuminated.

W ARNING: If you ever smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside your vehicle, have your authorized Mazda dealer inspect and fix your vehicle immediately .
BRAKES Y our service brakes are self-adjusting. Refer to the service maintenance section for scheduled maintenance. Occasional brake noise is normal and often does not indicate a performance concern with the vehicle’ s brake system.
W ARNING: The Anti-Lock system does not decrease the time necessary to apply the brakes or always reduce stopping distance. Always leave enough room between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you to stop.
Parking brake Apply the parking brake whenever the vehicle is parked. T o set the parking brake, apply the brake pedal and pull the parking brake handle up as far as possible. The BRAKE warning lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates and remains illuminated (when the ignition is turned ON) until the parking brake is released.
STEERING Y our vehicle is equipped with power steering. Power steering uses energy from the engine to help steer the vehicle. T o prevent damage to the power steering pump: • Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme right or the extreme left for more than a few seconds when the engine is running.
W ARNING: V ehicles with a higher center of gravity such as utility and four -wheel drive vehicles handle differently than vehicles with a lower center of gravity . Utility and four -wheel drive vehicles are not designed for cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars.
2. Locate the access cover plate to the brake-shift interlock override. It is located on the top of the steering column. 3. Insert a tool (or a screwdriver) into the right-hand side of the brake-shift interlock access cover and remove the cover .
4. Insert a tool (or screw driver) into the access hole to override the brake-shift interlock. Apply the brake and shift into Neutral while holding down the override tab. If it is necessary to use the above procedure to move the gearshift lever , it is possible that a fuse has blown or the vehicle’ s brakelamps are not operating properly .
Driving with an automatic overdrive transaxle Y our automatic transaxle electronically controls the shift feel by using an adaptive learning strategy .
R (Reverse) W ith the gearshift lever in R (Reverse), the vehicle will move backward. Y ou should always come to a complete stop before shifting into and out of R (Reverse). W ARNING: Make sure the rearward path of the vehicle is unobstructed before moving the vehicle in reverse.
If the O/D OFF indicator light is flashing on and off repeatedly when the vehicle is started or does not come on when the O/D OFF control is pressed, there may be a transaxle electronic system malfunction. Y ou should contact your authorized Mazda dealer as soon as possible or damage to the transaxle could occur .
1 (First) Use 1 (First) for when added engine braking is desired when descending steep hills. The automatic transaxle will shift to the proper gear to ascend any grade without any need to shift to 1 (First). T o avoid damage to the engine and/or transaxle do not go faster than 56 km/h (35 mph) when in this gear .
2. Hold down the brake pedal. 3. Depress the clutch pedal. 4. W ithout depressing the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition to position 4 (ST ART), release the ignition as soon as the engine starts.
Reverse Make sure that your vehicle is at a complete stop before you shift into R (Reverse). Failure to do so may damage the transaxle. Put the gearshift lever into the neutral position and wait at least three seconds before shifting into R (Reverse).
2. Set the parking brake. 3. Shift into 1 (First). 4. T urn the ignition to position 1 (LOCK) to shut the engine off and remove the ignition key . W ARNING: Do not park your vehicle in Neutral, it may move unexpectedly and injure someone. Use 1 (First) gear and set the parking brake fully .

increase tire wear and may damage driveline components. The 4x4 ON mode is intended for use only on consistently slippery or loose surfaces. • If your vehicle is equipped with this 4x4 system, a spare tire of a different diameter than the road tires should never be used.
The differences that make your vehicle so versatile also make it handle differently than an ordinary passenger car . Maintain steering wheel control at all times, especially in rough terrain. Since sudden changes in terrain can result in abrupt steering wheel motion, make sure you grip the steering wheel from the outside.
Do not rock the vehicle for more than a few minutes or damage to the transmission and tires may occur or the engine may overheat. Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating temperature or damage to the transaxle may occur . W ARNING: Do not spin the wheels at over 56 km/h (35 mph).
Mud and water NOTE: • If you must drive through high water , drive slowly . T raction or brake capability may be limited. • When driving through water , determine the depth; avoid water higher than the bottom of the hubs (if possible) and proceed slowly .
“T read Lightly” is an educational program designed to increase public awareness of land-use regulations and responsibilities in our nations wilderness areas. Mazda joins the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management in encouraging you to help preserve our national forest and other public and private lands by “treading lightly .
Descend a hill in the same gear you would use to climb up the hill to avoid excessive brake application and brake overheating. Do not descend in neutral, disengage overdrive or manually shift to a lower gear . When descending a steep hill, avoid sudden hard braking as you could lose control.
“pump” the brakes. Refer to the Brakes section of this chapter for additional information on the operation of the anti-lock brake system. • Never drive with chains on the front tires of 4x4 vehicles without also putting them on the rear tires. This could cause the rear to slide and swing around during braking.
Each day before you drive, check your tires. If one looks lower than the others, use a tire gauge to check pressure of all tires, and adjust if required. Check tire pressure with a tire gauge every few weeks (including spare). Safe operation requires tires that are neither underinflated nor overloaded.
and if the ignition system gets wet, your engine may stall. W ater may also enter your engine’ s air intake and severely damage your engine. If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very slowly . Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the hubs (for trucks) or the bottom of the wheel rims (for cars).
• Maximum T railer W eight Rating: Maximum weight of a trailer the vehicle is permitted to tow . The maximum trailer weight rating is determined by subtracting the vehicle curb weight for each engine/transmission combination, any required option weight for trailer towing and the weight of the driver from the GCWR for the towing vehicle.
W ARNING: Under no circumstance should these limitations be exceeded. Exceeding any vehicle weight rating limitation could result in serious damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury .
Follow these guidelines to ensure safe towing procedure: • Stay within your vehicle’ s load limits. • Thoroughly prepare your vehicle for towing. Refer to Preparing to tow in this chapter . • Use extra caution when driving while trailer towing.

T o avoid possible oil loss, DO NOT operate the vehicle with the engine oil level indicator and/or the engine oil filler cap removed.
BATTERY Y our vehicle is equipped with a Mazda maintenance-free battery which normally does not require additional water during its life of service. However , for severe usage or in high temperature climates, check the battery electrolyte level. Refer to the service maintenance section for the service interval schedules.
W ARNING: When lifting a plastic-cased battery , excessive pressure on the end walls could cause acid to flow through the vent caps, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or battery . Lift the battery with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.
When the battery is disconnected or a new battery installed, the transmission must relearn its adaptive strategy . As a result of this, the transmission may shift firmly . This operation is considered normal and will not affect function or durability of the transmission.
• an accurate temperature readout from the engine coolant gauge. When the engine is cold, check the level of the engine coolant in the reservoir . • The engine coolant should be at the “cold fill level” or within the “cold fill range” as listed on the engine coolant reservoir (depending upon application).
W ARNING: Do not put engine coolant in the windshield washer fluid container . If sprayed on the windshield, engine coolant could make it difficult to see through the windshield. The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with either green-colored or yellow-colored Mazda Premium Engine Coolant meeting Mazda Specifications.
reservoir when the engine is cool. Add the proper mixture of coolant and water to the “cold full” level. For all other vehicles, which have a coolant degas system with a pressurized cap, or if it is necessary to remove the coolant pressure relief cap on the radiator of a vehicle with an overflow system, follow these steps to add engine coolant.
If you have to add more than 1.0 liter (1.0 quart) of engine coolant per month, have your dealer check the engine cooling system. Y our cooling system may have a leak. Operating an engine with a low level of coolant can result in engine overheating and possible engine damage).
• Decreased engine coolant concentrations below 40% will decrease the corrosion protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may cause engine damage. • Decreased engine coolant concentrations below 40% will decrease the freeze protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may cause engine damage.
Observe the following guidelines when handling automotive fuel: W ARNING: Automotive fuels can be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Fuel such as gasoline is highly toxic and if swallowed can cause death or permanent injury . If fuel is swallowed, call a physician immediately , even if no symptoms are immediately apparent.
W ARNING: When refueling always shut the engine off and never allow sparks or open flames near the filler neck. Never smoke while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous under certain conditions. Care should be taken to avoid inhaling excess fumes.
Octane recommendations Y our vehicle is designed to use “Regular” unleaded gasoline with pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. W e do not recommend the use of gasolines labeled as “Regular” that are sold with octane ratings of 86 or lower in high altitude areas.
Cleaner air Mazda endorses the use of reformulated “cleaner -burning” gasolines to improve air quality . Running out of fuel A void running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse affect on powertrain components.
W ARNING: The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel filler cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before completely removing the fuel filler cap.
The amount of usable fuel in the empty reserve varies and should not be relied upon to increase driving range. When refueling your vehicle after the fuel gauge indicates empty , you might not be able to refuel the full amount of the advertised capacity of the fuel tank due to the empty reserve still present in the tank.
during summer and winter will show how temperature impacts fuel economy . In general, lower temperatures give lower fuel economy . Driving style — good driving and fuel economy habits Give consideration to the lists that follow and you may be able to change a number of variables and improve your fuel economy .
• Perform all regularly scheduled maintenance items. Follow the recommended maintenance schedule and owner maintenance checks found in your vehicle service maintenance section. Conditions • Heavily loading a vehicle or towing a trailer may reduce fuel economy at any speed.
• A void running out of fuel. • Do not turn off the ignition while your vehicle is moving, especially at high speeds. • Have the items listed in your service maintenance section performed according to the specified schedule.

If the vehicle’ s powertrain system or its battery has just been serviced, the on-board diagnostics system is reset to a “not ready for I/M test” condition.
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.
W ARNING: Brake fluid is toxic. If brake fluid contacts the eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
5. Remove the dipstick, wiping it clean with a clean, dry lint free rag. If necessary , refer to Identifying components in the engine compartment in this chapter for the location of the dipstick. 6. Install the dipstick making sure it is fully seated in the filler tube.
If necessary , add fluid in 250 mL (1/2 pint) increments through the filler tube until the level is correct. If an overfill occurs, excess fluid should be removed by a qualified technician. An overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause shift and/or engagement concerns and/or possible damage.
W ARNING: Brake fluid is toxic. If brake fluid contacts the eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Seek medical if irritation persists. If taken internally , drink water and induce vomiting.
