WARNING
Servicing a vehicle can be dangerous. If you have not received service-related training, the risks of injury, property damage, and failure of servicing increase. The recommended servicing procedures for the vehicle in this workshop manual were developed with Mazda-trained technicians in mind. This manual may be useful to non-Mazda trained technicians, but a technician with our service-related training and experience will be at less risk when performing service operations. However, all users of this manual are expected to at least know general safety procedures.
This manual contains "Warnings" and "Cautions" applicable to risks not normally encountered in a general technician's experience. They should be followed to reduce the risk of injury and the risk that improper service or repair may damage the vehicle or render it unsafe. It is also important to understand that the "Warnings" and "Cautions" are not exhaustive. It is impossible to warn of all the hazardous consequences that might result from failure to follow the procedures.
The procedures recommended and described in this manual are effective methods of performing service and repair. Some require tools specifically designed for a specific purpose. Persons using procedures and tools which are not recommended by Mazda Motor Corporation must satisfy themselves thoroughly that neither personal safety nor safety of the vehicle will be jeopardized.
The contents of this manual, including drawings and specifications, are the latest available at the time of printing, and reserves the right to change the vehicle designs and alter the contents of this manual without notice and without incurring obligation.
Parts should be replaced with genuine Mazda replacement parts or with parts which match the quality of genuine Mazda replacement parts. Persons using replacement parts of lesser quality than that of genuine Mazda replacement parts must satisfy themselves thoroughly that neither personal safety nor safety of the vehicle will be jeopardized.
Mazda Motor Corporation is not responsible for any problems which may arise from the use of this manual. The cause of such problems includes but is not limited to insufficient service-related training, use of improper tools, use of replacement parts of lesser quality than that of genuine Mazda replacement parts, or not being aware of any revision of this manual.

A6E201000001E01
This manual contains procedures for performing all required service operations. The procedures are divided into the following five basic operations: — Removal/Installation — Disassembly/Assembly — Replacement — Inspection — Adjustment
Simple operations which can be performed easily just by looking at the vehicle (i.e., removal/installation of parts, jacking, vehicle lifting, cleaning of parts and visual inspection) have been omitted.
End Of Sie
SERVICE PROCEDURE Inspection, adjustment
Inspection and adjustment procedures are divided into steps. Imp ortant points regarding the location and contents of the procedures are explained in detail and shown in the illustrations.
A6E201000001E02

Repair procedure
1. Most repair operations begin with an overview illustration. It identifies the components, shows how the parts fit together and describes visual part inspection. However, only removal/installation procedures that need to be performed methodically have written instructions.
2. Expendable parts, tightening torques and symbols for oil, grease, and sealant are shown in the overview illustration. In addition, symbols indicating parts requiring the use of special service tools or equivalent are also shown.
3. Procedure steps are numbered and the part that is the main point of that procedure is shown in the illustration with the corresponding number. Occasionally, there a re important points or additio nal information concerning a procedure. Refer to this information when servicing the related part.

Conversion to SI Units (Système International d'Unités)
All numerical values in this manual are based on SI units. Numbers shown in conventional units are converted from these values.
Rounding Off
Converted values are rounded off to the same number of places as th e SI unit value. Fo r example, if the SI u nit value is 17.2 and the value after conversion is 37.84, the converted value will be rounded off to 37.8.
Upper and Lower Limits
When the data indicates upper and lower limits, the converted values are rounded down if the SI unit value is an upper limit and rounded up if the SI unit value is a lower limit. Therefore, converted values for the same SI unit value may differ after conversion. For ex am p l e, co ns ide r 2. 7 k gf /cm
210—260 kPa {2.1—2.7 kgf/cm 270—310 kPa {2.7—3.2 kgf/cm

are 264 kPa and 38.4 psi. In the first specification, 2.7 is used as

in the following specifications:
an upper limit, so the converted values are rounded down to 260 and 38. In the second specification, 2.7 is used as a lower limit, so the converted values are rounded up to 270 and 39.
