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.
If the brake fluid level is low, have the brakes inspected:
A low brake 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.
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 linings. If it is excessively low, have the brake system inspected by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
