Introduction
Be extremely careful and prevent injury to yourself and others or damage to
your vehicle
when using this manual for inspection and maintenance.
If you're unsure about any procedure it describes, we strongly urge you to have
a reliable
and qualified service shop perform the work, preferably an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
Factory-trained Mazda technicians and genuine Mazda parts are best for your vehicle.
Without this expertise and the parts that have been designed and made especially
for your
Mazda, inadequate, incomplete, and insufficient servicing may result in
problems. This
could lead to vehicle damage or an accident and injuries.
For expert advice and quality service, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
The owner should retain evidence that proper maintenance has been performed as prescribed.
Claims against the warranty resulting from lack of maintenance, as opposed to
defective
materials or authorized Mazda workmanship, will not be honored.
Any auto repair shop using parts equivalent to your Mazda's original equipment
may
perform maintenance.But we recommend that it always be done by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer using genuine Mazda parts.
