equipment. Actual vehicle wiring may vary slightly depending on optional equipment or local specifications,
or both.
For proper repair and maintenance, a thorough familiarization with this manual is important, and it should
always be kept in a handy place for quick and easy reference.
All the contents of this manual, including drawings and specifications, are the latest available at the time of
printing.
As modifications affecting repair or maintenance occur, relevant information supplementary to this volume
will be made available at Mazda dealers. This manual should be kept up-to-date.
Ford Motor Company reserves the right to alter the specifications and contents of this manual without
obligation or advance notice.
All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced or used in any form or by any means, electronic
or mechanical-including photocopying and recording and the use of any kind of information storage and
retrieval system-without permission in writing.
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 accepted at least to 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 Mazda Motor Corporation 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.

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 are important points or additional information concerning a
