Untimely, incomplete or poor-quality performance of daily control inspection or maintenance may cause the vehicle to malfunction. This chapter provides instructions for performing daily inspection procedures, car care, and vehicle maintenance operations that can be easily performed by the owner.
Some maintenance operations can only be performed by a qualified technician using special tools.
Failure to perform maintenance properly on your own may void the manufacturer's warranty on your vehicle. For more information on the terms of your manufacturer's warranty, please refer to the Manufacturer's Warranty Policy booklet supplied with your vehicle. If you have any difficulty performing any maintenance on your vehicle, please contact an authorized Mazda dealer.
There are currently strict environmental laws in place that regulate the disposal of used oils and operating fluids. When disposing of used operating materials and waste, follow the applicable regulations and take care of the environment.
We recommend changing oil and operating fluids at service stations of official Mazda dealers.

Attention.
- You should not perform maintenance work on your vehicle yourself unless you have the necessary knowledge and practical experience or the necessary tools and equipment. Contact an authorized Mazda dealer to have your vehicle serviced by a qualified technician.
- Maintenance of your vehicle may be dangerous if instructions and appropriate safety precautions are not followed. Some maintenance operations may pose a risk of serious injury if performed improperly.
- If it is necessary to perform work in the engine compartment with the engine running, be sure to remove all jewelry (especially rings, bracelets, watches, chains), as well as a tie, scarf or similar loose clothing before going directly near the engine or cooling fan (which can suddenly turn on and start spinning).
- It is dangerous to work in the engine compartment while the engine is running. The risk of injury is even greater if you are wearing jewelry or loose clothing. Jewelry and bulky or long clothing items can get caught in rotating parts, which can cause injury.
- Stop the engine, turn off the ignition and make sure that the radiator cooling fan is not rotating before performing any checks or working near the fan blade rotation area.
- It is dangerous to perform any work near the fan blade rotation area when the fan is rotating. If the engine is not cool, the radiator cooling fan may continue to rotate even when the engine is not running and the ignition is off. You can be seriously injured by being hit by the fan blades.
- Do not leave any foreign objects in the engine compartment.
- After performing checks in the engine compartment or performing maintenance on the vehicle, do not forget to reinstall the removed covers and remove tools, rags and other objects from the engine compartment. Tools, rags and other foreign objects left in the engine compartment may cause damage to the engine and its equipment or lead to an unexpected ignition in the engine compartment and a fire, which is fraught with a traffic accident.
