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 (Search), several procedures can be done only by a qualified service technician with special tools.
Improper do-it yourself maintenance during the warranty period may affect warranty coverage. 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 expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
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 Authorised Mazda Repairer.
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 bonnet, make certain that you remove all jewellery (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 bonnet with the engine running is dangerous. It becomes even more dangerous when you wear jewellery or loose clothing.
Either can become entangled in moving parts and result in injury.
Switch the ignition to 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.
Always check that the bonnet is closed and securely locked:
A bonnet that is not closed and securely locked is dangerous as it could fly open while the vehicle is moving and block the driver's vision which could result in a serious accident.
With the vehicle parked, pull the release handle to unlock the bonnet.
Insert your hand into the bonnet opening, slide the latch lever to the right, and lift up the bonnet.
The lever is located a little to the left of centre when facing the vehicle.
Grasp the support rod in the padded area and secure it in the support rod hole indicated by the arrow to hold the bonnet open.
Check under the bonnet area to make certain all filler caps are in place and all loose items (e.g. tools, oil containers, etc.) have been removed.
Lift the bonnet, grasp the padded area on the support rod, and secure the support rod in the clip. Verify that the support rod is secured in the clip before closing the bonnet.
Lower the bonnet slowly to a height of about 20 cm (7.9 in) above its closed position and then let it drop.
When closing the bonnet, do not push it excessively such as by applying your weight. Otherwise, the bonnet could be deformed.
Changing the engine oil should be done by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
This procedure is intended for vehicles with SKYACTIV-D 1.5 and vehicles with SKYACTIV-G 2.0 which the engine oil flexible maintenance setting is selected.
After replacing the engine oil, have a repair shop such as an Authorised Mazda Repairer perform the initialization (engine oil data resetting) of the recorded value. If the value recorded by the computer is not initialized, the wrench indicator light may not turn off or it may turn on earlier than normal.
The initialization (engine oil data resetting) of the recorded value can be performed using the following procedure:
Switch the ignition OFF.
Switch the ignition ON with the selector pressed, and press and hold the selector
for about 5 seconds until the master warning light flashes.
After the master warning light flashes for several seconds, the initialization is completed.
Be sure the vehicle is on a level surface.
Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
Turn it off and wait at least 5 minutes for the oil to return to the sump.
Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert it fully.

When inspecting the engine oil level, pull out the dipstick straight without twisting. In addition, when inserting the dipstick, always insert it without twisting so that the “X” mark faces the front of the vehicle.
Pull it out again and examine the level.
The level is normal if it is between Low and Full.
If it is near or below Low, add enough oil to bring the level to Full.
Do not overfill the engine oil. This may cause engine damage.
Make sure the O-ring on the dipstick is positioned properly before reinserting the dipstick.
Reinsert the dipstick fully.
If the brake/clutch fluid level is low, have the brakes inspected:
A low brake/clutch fluid level is dangerous.
A low level could indicate brake lining wear or a brake system leak which could cause the brakes to fail and lead to an accident.
The brakes and clutch draw fluid from the same reservoir.
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir regularly. It should be kept between the MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with accumulated distance, a condition associated with wear of brake and clutch linings. If it is excessively low, have the brake/clutch system inspected by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Use only windscreen washer fluid or plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the windscreen, it will dirty the windscreen, affect your visibility, and could result in an accident.
Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir; add fluid if necessary.
Use plain water if washer fluid is unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold weather to prevent it from freezing.
Front and rear washer fluid is supplied from the same reservoir.
All moving points of the body, such as door and bonnet hinges and locks, should be lubricated each time the engine oil is changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on locks during cold weather.
Make sure the bonnet's secondary latch keeps the bonnet from opening when the primary latch is released.
Hot waxes applied by automatic car washers have been known to affect the wiper's ability to clean windows.
To prevent damage to the wiper blades, do not use petrol, paraffin, paint thinner, or other solvents on or near them.
When the wiper lever is in the AUTO position and the ignition is switched ON, the wipers may move automatically in the following cases:
If the windscreen above the rain sensor is touched.
If the windscreen above the rain sensor is wiped with a cloth.
If the windscreen is struck with a hand or other object.
If the rain sensor is struck with a hand or other object from inside the vehicle.
Be careful not to pinch hands or fingers as it may cause injury, or damage the wipers. When washing or servicing the vehicle, make sure the wiper lever is in the OFF position.
Contamination of either the windscreen or the blades with foreign matter can reduce wiper effectiveness. Common sources are insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by some commercial car washes.
If the blades are not wiping properly, clean the window and blades with a good cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if necessary.
Your vehicle's electrical system is protected by fuses.
If any lights, accessories, or controls do not work, inspect the appropriate circuit protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside element will be melted.
If the same fuse blows again, avoid using that system and consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as possible.
Replacing the fuses on the vehicle's left side
If the electrical system does not work, first inspect the fuses on the vehicle's left side.
Make sure the ignition is switched off, and other switches are off.
Open the fuse panel cover.
Pull the fuse straight out with the fuse puller provided on the fuse block located in the engine compartment.
Inspect the fuse and replace it if it is blown.
Insert a new fuse of the same amperage rating, and make sure it fits tightly. If it does not fit tightly, have an expert install it. We recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow one of the same rating from a circuit not essential to vehicle operation, such as the AUDIO or OUTLET circuit.
Always replace a fuse with a genuine Mazda fuse or equivalent of the same rating. Otherwise you may damage the electric system.
Reinstall the cover and make sure that it is securely installed.
Replacing the fuses under the bonnet
If the headlights or other electrical components do not work and the fuses in the cabin are normal, inspect the fuse block under the bonnet. If a fuse is blown, it must be replaced. Follow these steps:
Make sure the ignition is switched off, and other switches are off.
Remove the fuse block cover.
If any fuse but the MAIN fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of the same amperage rating.
Do not replace the main fuse and multiplex slow blow fuse by yourself. Have an Authorised Mazda Repairer perform the replacement:
Replacing these fuses by yourself is dangerous because they are high current fuses. Incorrect replacement could cause an electrical shock or a short circuit resulting in a fire.
Reinstall the cover and make sure that it is securely installed.
