This manual explains onty the secticlns marked with shadows (-1
This workshop manual assumes that you have certarn special tools that are necessary for the safe and
efficient performance of service operations on Mazda vehicles and that you know how to use them properly.
It also assumes that you are familiar with automobile systems and basic service and repair procedures.
YOU should not attempt to use this manual unless these assumpttons are correct and you understand the
consequences described below.
SAFETY RtSK
This manual contains certain notes, warnings, and other precautionary information that you should care-
fully read and follow to reduce the risk of personal injury to yourself or others and the risk of improper
service that may damage the vehicle or render it unsafe. If there IS no such information in regard to any
specific service method, this does not mean there is no possibility that personal safety or vehicle safety
wili be jeopardized by the use of incorrect methods or tools.
POSStBLE LOSS OF WARRANTY
The manufacturer’s warranty on Mazda vehicles and engines can be voided if improper service or repairs
are performed by persons other than those at an Authorked Mazda Dealer.
WARNtNG ON LUBRtCANTS AND GREASES
Avoid all prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oils, especially used oils. Used oils contaminated
during service (e+g., engine sump oils) are more irritating and more likely to cause serious effects, including skin cancer, in the event of gross and prolonged skin contact.
Wash skin thoroughly after work involving 011.
Protective hand cleaners may be of value provided they can be removed from the skin with water Do
not use gasoline, paraffin, or other solvents to remove oil from the skrn.
Lubricants and greases may be slightly irritating to the eyes.

Repeated or protonged skin contact shoutd be avoided by wearing protective clothing if necessary. Par-
ticular care should be taken with used oils and greases containing lead. Do not allow work clothing .to

INSTALLATION OF MOBILE TWO-WAY RADIO SYSTEM
If a rkobile two-way radio system is installed improperly or if a high-powered type is used, the EGI system
and other systems may be affected.
When the vehicle is to be equipped with a mobile two-way radio, observe the following precautions:
1. Install the antenna at the farthest point from control units.
2. lnstatt the antenna feeder as far as possible from the control unit harnesses (at least 30 cm [ If .8 in 1).
3. Ensure that the antenna and feeder are properly adjusted.
4. Do not instali a high-powered mobile two-way radio svstem.

PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE WHEN SERVICING AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
l
Note the following items when servicing the electrical system.
l
Do not alter the wiring or electrical equipment in any way; this may damage the vehicle or cause a
from short-circuiting a circuit or overloading it.
l
The negatrve (-) battery cable must be removed first and
rnstalled last.
Cautron
l
8e sure that the ignitton and other switches are off
before disconnectrng or connecting the battery cables.
Failure to do so may damage the semrconductor
components.
l
Secure harnesses with provrded clamps to take up slack.
l
Do not reptace with fuses exceedrng specified capacity
Caution
l
Repfacing a fuse with one of a larger capacrty than
desrgnated may damage components or cause a frre.
l
Tape areas of the harness
that may rub or bump
against sharp edges to
protect rt from damage.
l
When mounting
components, be sure the
harness IS not caught or
damaged.

Caution
l
Clamp all harnesses near vibratrng components (for

After 80,000 km or 48 months, continue to follow the described maintenance at the recommended intervals.
As for * marked items in this maintenance chart, note the following points.
+ 1 Major service interval at 12 months/20,000 km (12,000 miles).
Lubrication service based on distance only 10,000 km (6,000 miles) not time.
l 2 Adjust or inspect alternator and water pump drive belt, and power steering and air conditioner drive belt
if equipped.
‘3 Replacement of the timing belt is required at every 100,000 km (60,000 mile). Failure to replace the tim-
ing bett may result in damage to the engine.
‘4 tf the vehicle is operated under any of the following conditions, it is suggested that the engine oil and
oil filter be changed more often than the recommended intervals.
a) Driving in dusty conditions.
b) Extended periods of idling or low speed operation.
c) Driving for a prolonged periods in cold temperatures or regularly driving onty short distances.
*5 If the vehicle is operated in very dusty or sandy areas, inspect and, if necessary, replace more often
than at usual recommended intervals.
l 6 This IS a full function check of all electrical systems, i.e, atl
electric windows, sunroof, horn etc.
‘7 Replace every two years.
If there has been continuous hard driving, mountain

Emission Control and Related Systems
The ignition and fuel systems are vitally important to the proper operation of the-emission control and relat-
ed system, as well as for efficient engine operation. It is strongly recommended that all servicing related
to these systems be done by your Authorised Mazda Dealer.
