Maintenance and Specifications *1 According to state and federal regulations, failure to perform maintenance on these items will not void your emissions warranties. However, Mazda recommends that all maintenance services be performed at the recommended time or mileage (kilometrage) period to ensure long-term reliability. *2 If this component has been submerged in water, the oil should be changed. SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS To help you service your vehicle: • We highlight do-it-yourself items in the engine compartment for easy location. • We provide a Scheduled Maintenance section which makes tracking routine service easy. If your vehicle requires professional service, your dealership can provide necessary parts and service. Check your "Warranty Information" to find out which parts and services are covered. Use only recommended fuels, lubricants, fluids and service parts conforming to specifications. Genuine Mazda parts are designed and built to provide the best performance in your vehicle. PRECAUTIONS WHEN SERVICING YOUR VEHICLE Be especially careful when inspecting or servicing your vehicle. To avoid damage and/or personal injury: • Do not work on a hot engine. • When the engine is running, make sure that loose clothing, jewelry or long hair does not get caught up in moving parts. • Do not work on a vehicle with the engine running in an enclosed space, unless you are sure you have enough ventilation. • Keep all lit cigarettes, open flames and other lit material away from the battery and all fuel related parts. If you disconnect the battery, the engine must "relearn" its idle conditions before your vehicle will drive properly, as explained in Battery in this chapter. 208
