2002 Mazda B4000 Owner's Manual - Page 224

Maintenance and Specifications INTRODUCTION Be extremely careful to prevent injury to yourself and others and 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. A claim against a warranty will not qualify if it results from lack of maintenance and not from defective material or authorized Mazda workmanship. 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.
