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 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.
