23 Essentia Safety Equipment Seat Bet Systems Seat Bet Precautions Seat bets hep to decrease the possibiity of severe injury during accidents and sudden stops. Mazda recommends that the driver and a passengers aways wear seat bets. A of the seat bet retractors are designed to keep the ap/shouder bets out of the way when not in use. The driver's seat bet has no provisions for chid-restraint systems and has ony an emergency ocking mode. The driver may wear it comfortaby, and it wi ock during a coision. However, the front passenger's seat ap/shouder bet retractors operate in two modes: emergency ocking mode, and for chid-restraint systems, automatic ocking mode. Whie we recommend you put a chidren in the rear seats, if you must use the front passenger seat for a chid, side the front passenger seat as far back as possibe and make sure any chid-restraint system is secured propery. WARNING Not Wearing Seat Bets: Not wearing a seat bet is extremey dangerous. During a coision, occupants not wearing seat bets coud hit someone or things inside the vehice or even be thrown out of the vehice. They coud be seriousy injured or even kied. In the same coision, occupants wearing seat bets woud be much safer. Aways wear your seat bet and make sure a occupants are propery restrained. Seat Bet Damaged During an Accident: Using a damaged seat bet is dangerous. An accident coud damage the bet webbing of the seat bet in use. A damaged seat bet cannot provide adequate protection in a coision. Front air bags and pretensioners work together, but whether a front seat was occupied or not, if any air bag depoyed and whether a seat bet pretensioner depoyed or not, a front seat bets and air bags must be inspected and repaced if necessary. Have an Authorized Mazda Deaer inspect a seat bet systems in use during an accident before they are used again. Twisted Seat Bets: Twisted seat bets are dangerous. In a coision, the fu width of the bet isn't avaiabe to absorb the impact. This puts more force on the bones beneath the bet, which coud cause serious injury or death. Don't wear twisted seat bets. 2-9

24 Essentia Safety Equipment Seat Bet Systems WARNING One Bet, One Passenger: Using one seat bet for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat bet used in this way can't spread the impact forces propery and the two passengers coud be crushed together and seriousy injured or even kied. Never use one bet for more than one person at a time and aways operate the vehice with each occupant propery restrained. CAUTION Bet retraction may become difficut if the bets and rings are soied, so try to keep them cean. qpregnant Women and Persons with Serious Medica Conditions Pregnant women shoud wear seat bets. Ask your doctor for specific recommendations. The ap bet shoud be worn SNUGLY AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE OVER THE HIPS.

25 Essentia Safety Equipment Seat Bet Systems qemergency Locking Mode In the emergency ocking mode, the bet remains comfortabe on the occupant and the retractor wi ock in position during a coision. When the seat bet is retracted, it wi aways be in the emergency ocking mode unti it is switched to automatic ocking mode by puing it a the way out to its fu ength. If the bet fees tight and hinders comfortabe movement whie the vehice is stopped or in motion, it may be in the automatic ocking mode because the bet has been pued too far out. To return to the bet more comfortabe emergency ocking mode, wait unti the vehice has stopped in a safe, eve area, retract the bet fuy to convert it back to emergency ocking mode and then extend it around you again. qautomatic Locking Mode Aways use the automatic ocking mode to keep the chid-restraint system from shifting to an unsafe position in the event of an accident.

35 Essentia Safety Equipment Chid Restraint Chid Restraint Precautions Mazda strongy urges the use of chid-restraint systems for chidren sma enough to use them. You are required by aw to use a chid-restraint system for chidren in the U.S. and Canada. Check your oca and state or provincia aws for specific requirements regarding the safety of chidren riding in your vehice. Whatever chid-restraint system you consider, pease pick the appropriate one for the age and size of the chid, obey the aw and foow the instructions that come with the individua chid-restraint system. A chid who has outgrown chid-restraint systems shoud sit in the rear and use seat bets, both ap and shouder. If the shouder bet crosses the neck or face, move the chid coser to the center of the vehice in the outboard seats, and towards the bucke on the right if the chid is seated on the center seat. Statistics confirm that the rear seat is the best pace for a chidren up to 12 years of age, and more so with a suppementa restraint system (air bags). A rear-facing chid-restraint system shoud NEVER be used on the front seat with the air bag system activated. The front passenger's seat is aso the east preferred seat for other chid-restraint systems. To reduce the chance of injuries caused by depoyment of the front passenger air bag, the front passenger seat weight sensors work as a part of the suppementa restraint system. This system deactivates the front passenger front and side air bags and aso the front passenger seat bet pretensioner system when the tota seated weight on the front passenger seat is ess than approximatey 30 kg (66 b). When an infant or sma chid sits on the front passenger seat, the system shuts off the front passenger front and side air bags and seat bet pretensioner system, so make sure the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator ight iuminates. Even if the front passenger air bag is shut off, Mazda strongy recommends that chidren be propery restrained and chid-restraint systems of a kinds are propery secured on the rear seats which are the best pace for chidren. For more detais, refer to Front passenger seat weight sensors (page 2-45). 2-21

36 Essentia Safety Equipment Chid Restraint WARNING Proper Size of Chid-Restraint System: For effective protection in vehice accidents and sudden stops, a chid must be propery restrained using a seat bet or chid-restraint system depending on age and size. If not, the chid coud be seriousy injured or even kied in an accident. Foow the Manufacturer's Instructions and Aways Keep the Chid-Restraint System Bucked Down: An unsecured chid-restraint system is dangerous. In a sudden stop or a coision it coud move causing serious injury or death to the chid or other occupants. Make sure any chid-restraint system is propery secured in pace according to the chid-restraint system manufacturer's instructions. When not in use, remove it from the vehice or fasten it with a seat bet, or atch it down to BOTH LATCH ower anchors for LATCH chid-restraint systems and the corresponding tether anchor. Hoding a Chid Whie the Vehice is Moving: Hoding a chid in your arms whie the vehice is moving is extremey dangerous. No matter how strong the person may be, he or she cannot hod onto a chid in a sudden stop or coision and it coud resut in serious injury or death to the chid or other occupants. Even in a moderate accident, the chid may be exposed to air bag forces that coud resut in serious injury or death to the chid, or the chid may be sammed into the adut, injuring the adut. Aways secure a chid in a proper chid-restraint system. Rear-Facing Chid-Restraint System: Rear-facing chid-restraint systems on the front seat are particuary dangerous. The chid-restraint system can be hit by a depoying air bag and moved vioenty backward resuting in serious injury or death to the chid. Even though you may fee assured that a front passenger air bag wi not depoy based on the fact that the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator ight iuminates, NEVER use a rear-facing chid-restraint system in the front seat with an air bag that coud depoy even in a moderate coision. 2-22

37 Essentia Safety Equipment Chid Restraint WARNING Seating Chidren in a Chid-Restraint System on the Front Passenger Seat: If your vehice is equipped with front passenger seat weight sensors, the vehice is aso equipped with an air bag deactivation indicator ight (page 2-30). Even with the front passenger seat weight sensors, if you must use the front passenger seat for chidren, seating a chid in a chid-restraint system on the front passenger seat under the foowing conditions increases the danger of the front passenger air bag depoying and coud resut in serious injury or death to the chid. The tota seated weight of the chid with the chid-restraint system on the front passenger seat is approximatey 30 kg (66 b) or more with a chid in the chidrestraint system. Luggage or other items are paced on the seat with the chid in the chid-restraint system. A rear passenger or uggage push or pu down on the front passenger seatback. A rear passenger puts their feet on the front seat rais. Luggage or other items are paced on the seatback or hung on the head restraint. The seat is washed. Liquids are spied on the seat. The front passenger seat is moved backward, pushing into uggage or other items paced behind it. The front passenger seatback contacts the rear seat. Luggage or other items are paced between the front passenger seat and driver seat. Any accessories which might increase the tota seated weight on the front passenger seat are attached to the front passenger seat. The designated positions with seat bets on the rear seats are the safest paces for chidren. Aways use seat bets and chid restraints. Chidren and Seating Position with Side and Curtain Air Bags: Aowing anyone to ean over or against the side window, the area of the front passenger seat, front and rear window piars and the roof edge aong both sides from which the side and curtain air bags depoy, even if a chid-restraint system is used, is dangerous. If the vehice is equipped with side and curtain air bags, the impact of infation coud cause serious injury or death to the chid. Furthermore, eaning over or against the front door coud bock the side and curtain air bags and eiminate the advantages of suppementa protection. With the front air bag and the additiona side air bag that comes out of the front seat, the rear seat is aways a better ocation for chidren. Do not aow a chid to ean over or against the side window, even if the chid is seated in a chid-restraint system. 2-23

38 Essentia Safety Equipment Chid Restraint WARNING One Bet, One Passenger: Using one seat bet for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat bet used in this way can't spread the impact forces propery and the two passengers coud be crushed together and seriousy injured or even kied. Never use one bet for more than one person at a time and aways operate the vehice with each occupant propery restrained. CAUTION A seat bet or chid-restraint system can become very hot in a cosed vehice during warm weather. To avoid burning yoursef or a chid, check them before you or your chid touches them. Your Mazda is equipped with LATCH ower anchors for attachment of speciay designed LATCH chid-restraint systems in the rear seat. When using these anchors to secure a chid-restraint system, refer to LATCH Chid-Restraint Systems (page 2-33). 2-24

39 Essentia Safety Equipment Chid Restraint Instaing Chid-Restraint Systems Accident statistics revea that a chid is safer in the rear seat. The front passenger's seat is ceary the worst choice for any chid under 12, and with rear-facing chidrestraint systems it is ceary unsafe due to air bags. Some chid-restraint systems now come with tethers and therefore must be instaed on the seats that take tethers to be effective. In your Mazda, tethered chid-restraint systems can ony be accommodated in the three positions on the rear seat. Some chid-restraint systems aso empoy speciay designed LATCH attachments; refer to LATCH Chid-Restraint Systems (page 2-33). WARNING Tethered Chid-Restraint Systems Work Ony on Tether-Equipped Rear Seats: Instaation of a tether equipped chidrestraint system in the front passenger's seat defeats the safety design of the system and wi resut in an increased chance of serious injury if the chid-restraint system goes forward without benefit of being tethered. Pace tether equipped chid-restraint systems where there are tether anchors. qrear Seat Chid-Restraint System Instaation Foow these instructions when using a chid-restraint system, uness you are attaching a LATCH-equipped chidrestraint system to the rear LATCH ower anchors.

The side and curtain air bags and the fronta air bag system wi not normay depoy during the same type of accident uness a combination of fronta and side impacts occur. The air bag suppementa restraint systems are designed to provide suppementa protection ony in the front seats in certain situations and the rear outside passenger positions ony in same-side coisions, so seat bets are aways important in the foowing ways: Without seat bet usage, the air bags cannot provide adequate protection during an accident. Seat bet usage is necessary to: Keep the occupant from being thrown into an infating air bag. Reduce the possibiity of injuries during an accident that is not designed for air bag infation, such as ro-over or rear impact. Reduce the possibiity of injuries in fronta or side coisions that are not severe enough to activate the air bags. Reduce the possibiity of being thrown from your vehice. Reduce the possibiity of injuries to ower body and egs during an accident because the air bags provide no protection to these parts of the body. Hod the driver in a position which aows better contro of the vehice. Sma chidren must be protected by a chid-restraint system as stipuated by aw in every state and province.

Serious injury coud occur if someone is sitting too cose to the door or eaning against a window, or if rear seat occupants grab the sides of the front seatbacks. Furthermore, seeping up against the door or hanging out the windows in the vehice coud bock the side and curtain air bags and eiminate the advantages of suppementa protection. Give the side and curtain air bags room to work by sitting in the center of the seat whie the vehice is moving with seat bets worn propery. Front Air Bag Modues Located in the Steering Whee Hub and the Dashboard: Attaching an object to the front air bag modues or pacing something in front of them is dangerous. In an accident, the object coud interfere with front air bag infation and injure the occupants. Aways keep the front air bag modues free of objects. Side Air Bag Modues: Attaching things to the front seat in such a way as to cover the outboard side of the seat in any way is dangerous. In an accident the object coud interfere with the side air bag, which infates from the outboard side of the front seats, impeding the added protection of the side air bag system or redirecting the air bag in a way that is dangerous. Furthermore, the bag coud be cut open spewing exhaust. Do not hang net bags, map pouches or backpacks with side straps on the front seats. Never use seat covers on the front seats. Aways keep the side air bag modues in your front seats free to depoy in the event of a side coision. Curtain Air Bag Modues: Attaching objects to the areas where the curtain air bag activates such as on the windshied gass, side door gass, front and rear window piars and aong the roof edge and assist grips is dangerous. In an accident the object coud interfere with the curtain air bag, which infates from the front and rear window piars and aong the roof edge, impeding the added protection of the curtain air bag system or redirecting the air bag in a way that is dangerous. Furthermore, the bag coud be cut open spewing exhaust. Do not pace hangers or any other objects on the assist grips. When hanging cothes, hang them on the coat hook directy.

Don't touch the interna components of the air bag modues after the bags have infated. Instaation of Front-End Equipment: Instaation of front-end equipment, such as fronta protection bar (kangaroo bar, bu bar, push bar, etc.), snowpow, or winches, is dangerous. The air bag crash sensor system coud be affected. This coud cause air bags to infate unexpectedy, or it coud prevent the air bags from infating during an accident. Front occupants coud be seriousy injured. Never insta any front-end equipment to your vehice. Suspension Adjustment: Adjusting the vehice suspension is dangerous. If the vehice's height or the suspension is changed, the vehice wi be unabe to accuratey detect a coision resuting in incorrect or unexpected air bag depoyment and the possibiity of serious injuries. Modification of the Suppementa Restraint System: Modifying the components or wiring of the suppementa restraint system is dangerous. You coud accidentay activate it or make it inoperabe. Don't make any modifications to the suppementa restraint system. This incudes instaing trim, badges, or anything ese over the air bag modues. It aso incudes instaing extra eectrica equipment on or near system components or wiring. An Authorized Mazda Deaer can provide the specia care needed in the remova and instaation of front seats. It is important to protect the air bag wiring and connections to assure that the bags do not accidentay depoy, the driver seat side position sensor and front passenger seat weight sensors are not damaged and that the seats retain an undamaged air bag connection. When an air bag depoys, a oud infation noise can be heard and some smoke wi be reeased. Neither is ikey to cause injury, however, the texture of the air bags may cause ight skin injuries on body parts not covered with cothing through friction. Shoud you se your Mazda, we urge you to te the new owner of its air bag systems and that famiiarization with a instructions about them, from the Owner's Manua, is important. 2-41

59 Essentia Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags qhow the Front Air Bags Work How the Air Bags Work When air bag crash sensors detect a fronta impact of greater than moderate force, an eectrica current is sent to the infators. Gases are produced to infate the front air bags and after the infation, the front air bags quicky defate. The front air bags wi function ony once. After that, the front air bags wi not work again and must be repaced. Ony an Authorized Mazda Deaer can repace the system components. The front, dua stage air bags contro air bag infation in two energy stages. During an impact of moderate severity the front air bags depoy with esser energy, whereas during more severe impacts, they depoy with more energy. Depoyment of the front air bags may differ between the driver and the front passenger depending on the driver seat position, front passenger weight and front seat bet usage, which aow for further controing of the system. The front air bags wi depoy ony in a fronta or fronta offset impact. Driver seat side position sensor Your vehice is equipped with a driver seat side sensor as a part of the suppementa restraint system. The sensor is ocated under the driver seat. The sensor determines whether the driver seat is fore or aft of a reference position and sends the seat position to the crash sensors and diagnostic modue (SAS unit). The sensor is aso designed to contro the depoyment of the driver air bag depending on how cose the driver seat is to the steering whee. The air bag/front seat bet pretensioner system warning ight fashes if the sensor has a possibe mafunction (page 2-53). 2-45

60 Essentia Safety Equipment SRS Air Bags Front passenger seat weight sensors If your vehice is equipped with front passenger seat weight sensors, a front passenger air bag deactivation indicator ight is aso equipped (page 2-30). These sensors are ocated under both of the front passenger seat rais. These sensors determine the tota seated weight on the front passenger seat. The sensors are aso designed to prevent the front passenger front and side air bags and seat bet pretensioner system from infating if the tota seated weight is ess than approximatey 30 kg (66 b). To reduce the chance of injuries caused by depoyment of the front passenger air bag, the system deactivates the front passenger front and side air bags and aso the seat bet pretensioner system when: There is no passenger in the front passenger seat. (The front passenger air bag deactivation indicator ight does not iuminate.) The tota seated weight on the front passenger seat is ess than approximatey 30 kg (66 b). (The front passenger air bag deactivation indicator ight iuminates.) This system shuts off the front passenger front and side air bags and seat bet pretensioner system, so make sure the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator ight iuminates according to the chart beow. The air bag/front seat bet pretensioner system warning ight fashes and the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator ight iuminates if the sensors have a possibe mafunction. If this happens, the front passenger front and side air bags and seat bet pretensioner system wi not depoy.

Thereafter, the warning ight iuminates when tire pressure is too ow in one or more tires, and fashes when there is a system mafunction. WARNING Vehice Handing When Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light Iuminates/Fashes: When the tire pressure monitoring system warning ight iuminates or fashes, or the tire pressure warning beep sound is heard, it is dangerous to drive the vehice at high speeds, or perform sudden maneuvering or braking. Vehice drivabiity coud worsen and resut in an accident. When the tire pressure monitoring system warning ight iuminates or fashes, or the tire pressure warning beep sound is heard, decrease vehice speed immediatey and avoid sudden maneuvering and braking. Have the system and tires checked or perform the appropriate repair as soon as possibe by an Authorized Mazda Deaer. WARNING Ignoring the Warning Light: Ignoring the warning ight is dangerous, even if you know why it is iuminated. Have the probem taken care of as soon as possibe before it deveops into a more serious situation that coud ead to tire faiure and a dangerous accident. Warning ight iuminates/warning beep sounds When the warning ight iuminates, and the warning beep sound is heard (about 3 seconds), tire pressure is too ow in one or more tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the correct tire pressure at an Authorized Mazda Deaer or the nearest service station. Refer to the specification charts (page 10-7). CAUTION When repacing/repairing the tires or whees or both, have the work done by an Authorized Mazda Deaer, or the tire pressure sensors may be damaged. 5-23

138 Driving Your Mazda Starting and Driving Perform tire pressure adjustment when the tires are cod. Tire pressure wi vary according to the tire temperature, therefore et the vehice stand for 1 hour or ony drive it 1.6 km (1 mie) or ess before adjusting the tire pressures. When pressure is adjusted on hot tires to the cod infation pressure, the TPMS warning ight/beep may turn on after the tires coo and pressure drops beow specification. Aso, an iuminated TPMS warning ight, resuting from the tire air pressure dropping due to cod ambient temperature, may go out if the ambient temperature rises. In this case, it wi aso be necessary to adjust the tire air pressures. If the TPMS warning ight iuminates due to a drop in tire air pressure, make sure to check and adjust the tire air pressures. After adjusting the tire air pressures, it may require some time for the TPMS warning ight to go out. If the TPMS warning ight remains iuminated, drive the vehice at a speed of at east 25 km/h (16 mph) for 10 minutes, and then verify that it goes out. If the warning ight iuminates again even after the tire pressures are adjusted, there may be a tire puncture. Repace the punctured tire with the temporary spare tire (page 7-6). A tire pressure sensor is not instaed to the temporary spare tire. The warning ight wi fash continuousy whie the temporary spare tire is being used. Warning ight fashes When the warning ight fashes, there may be a system mafunction.

Changing tires and whees The foowing procedure aows the TPMS to recognize a tire pressure sensor's unique ID signa code whenever tires or whees are changed, such as changing to and from winter tires. Each tire pressure sensor has a unique ID signa code. The signa code must be registered with the TPMS before it can work. The easiest way to do it is to have an Authorized Mazda Deaer change your tire and compete ID signa code registration. When changing tires yoursef If you or someone ese changes tires, you or someone ese can aso undertake the steps for the TPMS to compete the ID signa code registration. 1. After tires have been changed, turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then turn it back to the ACC or LOCK position. 2. Wait for about 15 minutes. 3. After about 15 minutes, drive the vehice at a speed of at east 25 km/h (16 mph) for 10 minutes and the tire pressure sensor ID signa code wi be registered automaticay. If the vehice is driven within about 15 minutes of changing tires, the tire pressure monitoring system warning ight wi fash because the sensor ID signa code woud not have been registered. If this happens, park the vehice for about 15 minutes, after which the sensor ID signa code wi register upon driving the vehice for 10 minutes. When having tires changed at an Authorized Mazda Deaer Tire pressure sensor ID signa code registration is competed when an Authorized Mazda Deaer changes your vehice's tires. 5-25

140 Driving Your Mazda Starting and Driving Repacing tires and whees CAUTION When repacing/repairing the tires or whees or both, have the work done by an Authorized Mazda Deaer, or the tire pressure sensors may be damaged. The whees equipped on your Mazda are speciay designed for instaation of the tire pressure sensors. Do not use non-genuine whees, otherwise it may not be possibe to insta the tire pressure sensors. The tire pressure sensor ID signa code must be registered when a new tire pressure sensor is purchased. For purchase of a tire pressure sensor and registration of the tire pressure sensor ID signa code, consut an Authorized Mazda Deaer. When reinstaing a previousy removed tire pressure sensor to a whee, repace the grommet for the tire pressure sensor. Be sure to have the tire pressure sensors instaed whenever tires or whees are repaced. When having a tire or whee or both repaced, the foowing types of tire pressure sensor instaation are possibe. The tire pressure sensor is removed from the od whee and instaed to the new one. The same tire pressure sensor is used with the same whee. Ony the tire is repaced.

181 Interior Comfort Audio System qradio Reception AM characteristics AM signas bend around such things as buidings or mountains and bounce off the ionosphere. Therefore, they can reach onger distances than FM signas. Because of this, two stations may sometimes be picked up on the same frequency at the same time. Station 1 Ionosphere Station 2 FM characteristics An FM broadcast range is usuay about km (25 30 mies) from the source. Because of extra coding needed to break the sound into two channes, stereo FM has even ess range than monaura (non-stereo) FM. FM Station km (25 30 mies) Signas from an FM transmitter are simiar to beams of ight because they do not bend around corners, but they do refect. Unike AM signas, FM signas cannot trave beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM stations cannot be received at the great distances possibe with AM reception. FM wave FM wave Ionosphere AM wave km ( mies) Atmospheric conditions can aso affect FM reception. High humidity wi cause poor reception. However, coudy days may provide better reception than cear days. Mutipath noise Since FM signas can be refected by obstructions, it is possibe to receive both the direct signa and the refected signa at the same time. This causes a sight deay in reception and may be heard as a broken sound or a distortion. This probem may aso be encountered when in cose proximity to the transmitter. Direct Refected wave 6-11

182 Interior Comfort Audio System Futter/Skip noise Signas from an FM transmitter move in straight ines and become weak in vaeys between ta buidings, mountains, and other obstaces. When a vehice passes through such an area, the reception conditions may change suddeny, resuting in annoying noise. Strong signa noise This occurs very cose to a transmitter tower. The broadcast signas are extremey strong, so the resut is noise and sound breakup at the radio receiver. Weak signa noise In suburban areas, broadcast signas become weak because of distance from the transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas is characterized by sound breakup. Station drift noise When a vehice reaches the area of two strong stations broadcasting at simiar frequencies, the origina station may be temporariy ost and the second station picked up. At this time there wi be some noise from this disturbance. Station MHz Station MHz 6-12

296 Maintenance and Care Appearance Care How to Minimize Environmenta Paint Damage The paintwork on your Mazda represents the atest technica deveopments in composition and methods of appication. Environmenta hazards, however, can harm the paint's protective properties, if proper care is not taken. Here are some exampes of possibe damage, with tips on how to prevent them. qetching Caused by Acid Rain or Industria Faout Occurrence Industria poutants and vehice emissions drift into the air and mix with rain or dew to form acids. These acids can sette on a vehice's finish. As the water evaporates, the acid becomes concentrated and can damage the finish. And the onger the acid remains on the surface, the greater the chance is for damage. Prevention It is necessary to wash and wax your vehice to preserve its finish according to the instructions in this section. These steps shoud be taken immediatey after you suspect that acid rain has setted on your vehice's finish. qdamage Caused by Bird Dropping, Insects, or Tree Sap Occurrence Bird droppings contain acids. If these aren't removed they can eat away the cear and coor base coat of the vehice's paintwork. When insects stick to the paint surface and decompose, corrosive compounds form. These can erode the cear and coor base coat of the vehice's paintwork if they are not removed. Tree sap wi harden and adhere permanenty to the paint finish. If you scratch the sap off whie it is hard, some vehice paint coud come off with it. Prevention It is necessary to have your Mazda washed and waxed to preserve its finish according to the instructions in this section. This shoud be done as soon as possibe. Bird droppings can be removed with a soft sponge and water. If you are traveing and these are not avaiabe, a moistened tissue may aso take care of the probem. The ceaned area shoud be waxed according to the instructions in this section. Insects and tree sap are best removed with a soft sponge and water or a commerciay avaiabe chemica ceaner. Another method is to cover the affected area with dampened newspaper for one to two hours. After removing the newspaper, rinse off the oosened debris with water. 8-54

297 Maintenance and Care Appearance Care qwater Marks Occurrence Rain, fog, dew, and even tap water can contain harmfu mineras such as sat and ime. If moisture containing these mineras settes on the vehice and evaporates, the mineras wi concentrate and harden to form white rings. The rings can damage your vehice's finish. Prevention It is necessary to wash and wax your vehice to preserve its finish according to the instructions in this section. These steps shoud be taken immediatey after you find water marks on your vehice's finish. qpaint Chipping Occurrence Paint chipping occurs when grave thrown in the air by another vehice's tires hits your vehice. How to avoid paint chipping Keeping a safe distance between you and the vehice ahead reduces the chances of having your paint chipped by fying grave. The paint chipping zone varies with the speed of the vehice. For exampe, when traveing at 90 km/h (56 mph), the paint chipping zone is 50 m (164 ft). In ow temperatures a vehice's finish hardens. This increases the chance of paint chipping. Chipped paint can ead to rust forming on your Mazda. Before this happens, repair the damage by using Mazda touch-up paint according to the instructions in this section. Faiure to repair the affected area coud ead to serious rusting and expensive repairs. 8-55

298 Maintenance and Care Appearance Care Exterior Care Foow a abe and container directions when using a chemica ceaner or poish. Read a warnings and cautions. qmaintaining the Finish Washing CAUTION When the wiper ever is in the AUTO position and the ignition switch is in the ON position, the wipers may move automaticay in the foowing cases: If the windshied above the rain sensor is touched. If the windshied above the rain sensor is wiped with a coth. If the windshied is struck with a hand or other object. If the rain sensor is struck with a hand or other object from inside the vehice. Be carefu not to pinch hands or fingers as it may cause injury, or damage the wipers. When washing or servicing your Mazda, make sure the wiper ever is in the OFF position. To hep protect the finish from rust and deterioration, wash your Mazda thoroughy and frequenty, at east once a month, with ukewarm or cod water. If the vehice is washed impropery, the paint surface coud be scratched. Here are some exampes of how scratching coud occur. Scratches occur on the paint surface when: The vehice is washed without first rinsing off dirt and other foreign matter. The vehice is washed with a rough, dry, or dirty coth. The vehice is washed at a car wash that uses brushes that are dirty or too stiff. Ceansers or wax containing abrasives are used. Mazda is not responsibe for scratches caused by automatic car washes or improper washing. Scratches are more noticeabe on vehices with darker paint finishes. To minimize scratches on the vehice's paint finish: Rinse off any dirt or other foreign matter using ukewarm or cod water before washing. Use penty of ukewarm or cod water and a soft coth when washing the vehice. Do not use a nyon coth. Rub genty when washing or drying the vehice. Take your vehice ony to a car wash that keeps its brushes we maintained. Don't use abrasive ceansers or wax that contain abrasives. 8-56

299 Maintenance and Care Appearance Care CAUTION Don't use stee woo, abrasive ceaners, or strong detergents containing highy akaine or caustic agents on chrome-pated or anodized auminum parts. This may damage the protective coating; aso, ceaners and detergents may discoor or deteriorate the paint. To prevent damaging the antenna, remove it before entering a car wash faciity or passing beneath a ow overhead cearance. Pay specia attention to removing sat, dirt, mud, and other foreign materia from the underside of the fenders, and make sure the drain hoes in the ower edges of the doors and rocker panes are cean. Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings, industria faout, and simiar deposits can damage the finish if not removed immediatey. When prompt washing with pain water is ineffective, use a mid soap made for use on vehices. Thoroughy rinse off a soap with ukewarm or cod water. Don't aow soap to dry on the finish. After washing the vehice, dry it with a cean chamois to prevent water spots from forming. WARNING Driving with Wet Brakes: Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Increased stopping distance or the vehice puing to one side when braking coud resut in a serious accident. Light braking wi indicate whether the brakes have been affected. Dry the brakes by driving very sowy and appying the brakes ighty unti brake performance is norma. Waxing Your vehice needs to be waxed when water no onger beads on the finish. Aways wash and dry the vehice before waxing it. In addition to the vehice body, wax the meta trim to maintain its uster. 1. Use wax which contains no abrasives.

This wi prevent them from rusting. qbright-meta Maintenance Use tar remover to remove road tar and insects. Never do this with a knife or simiar too. To prevent corrosion on bright-meta surfaces, appy wax or chrome preservative and rub it to a high uster. During cod weather or in coasta areas, cover bright-meta parts with a coating of wax or preservative heavier than usua. It woud aso hep to coat them with noncorrosive petroeum jey or some other protective compound. CAUTION Don't use stee woo, abrasive ceaners, or strong detergents containing highy akaine or caustic agents on chromepated or anodized auminum parts. This may resut in damage to the protective coating and cause discooration or paint deterioration. qunderbody Maintenance Road chemicas and sat used for ice and snow remova and sovents used for dust contro may coect on the underbody. If not removed, they wi speed up rusting and deterioration of such underbody parts as fue ines, frame, foor pan, and exhaust system, even though these parts may be coated with anti-corrosive materia. Thoroughy fush the underbody and whee housings with ukewarm or cod water at the end of each winter. Try aso to do this every month. Pay specia attention to these areas because they easiy hide mud and dirt. It wi do more harm than good to wet down the road grime without removing it. The ower edges of doors, rocker panes, and frame members have drain hoes that shoud not be cogged. Water trapped there wi cause rusting. WARNING Driving with Wet Brakes: Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Increased stopping distance or the vehice puing to one side when braking coud resut in a serious accident. Light braking wi indicate whether the brakes have been affected. Dry the brakes by driving very sowy and appying the brakes ighty unti brake performance is norma. 8-58

318 Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects Uniform Tire Quaity Grading System (UTQGS) Uniform Tire Quaity Grading System (UTQGS) This information reates to the tire grading system deveoped by the U.S. Nationa Highway Traffic Safety Administration for grading tires by tread wear, traction, and temperature performance. qtread Wear The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controed conditions on a specified government test course. For exampe, a tire graded 150 woud wear one-and-a-haf times as we on the government course as a tire graded 100. The reative performance of tires depends upon the actua conditions of their use, however, and may depart significanty from the norm because of variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and cimate. qtraction-aa, A, B, C The traction grades, from highest to owest, are AA, A, B, and C. These grades represent the tire's abiity to stop on wet pavement as measured under controed conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphat and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. WARNING The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and does not incude acceeration cornering (turning), hydropaning, or peak traction characteristics. qtemperature-a, B, C The temperature grades A (the highest), B, and C, represent the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its abiity to dissipate heat when tested under controed conditions on a specified indoor aboratory test whee. Sustained high temperature can cause the materia of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire ife, and excessive temperatures can ead to sudden tire faiure. Grade C corresponds to a eve of performance which a passenger vehice tires must meet under the Federa Motor Vehice Safety Standard No Grades B and A represent higher eves of performance on the aboratory test whee than the minimum required by aw. 9-16

319 Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects Uniform Tire Quaity Grading System (UTQGS) WARNING The temperature grade for this tire is estabished for a tire that is propery infated and not overoaded. Excessive speed, underinfation, or excessive oading, either separatey or in combination, can cause heat buidup and possibe tire faiure. These grades wi be added to the sidewas of passenger vehice tires over the next severa years according to a schedue estabished by the NHTSA and the tire manufacturers. The grade of tires avaiabe as standard or optiona equipment on Mazda vehices may vary with respect to grade. ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST CONFORM TO THESE GRADES AND TO ALL OTHER FEDERAL TIRE-SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. quniform Tire Quaity Grading Quaity grades can be found where appicabe on the tire sidewa between tread shouder and maximum section width.
