To activate:
• the ignition must be in the on position and

• the headlamp control is in the off or parking lamp.

WARNING:

Always remember to turn on your headlamps at

dusk or during inclement weather. The Daytime Running Lamp

(DRL) (if equipped) system does not activate the parking lights or side
marker lights and generally may not provide adequate lighting during
these conditions. Failure to activate your headlamps under these
conditions may result in a collision.

PANEL DIMMER CONTROL

Use to adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel and all applicable
switches in the vehicle during
headlamp and parking lamp
operation.

Move the control up or down to
adjust the intensity of the panel
lighting.

Move the control to the full upright
position, past detent, to turn on the
interior lamps.
Note:

If the battery is disconnected, discharged, or a new battery is

installed, the dimmer switch requires re-calibration. Rotate the dimmer

switch from the full dim position to the full dome/on position to reset.
This will ensure that your displays are visible under all lighting
conditions.

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS

The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed before leaving the
assembly plant. If your vehicle is involved in an accident or if you have
problems fixing the alignment of your headlamps, have them checked by
a qualified service technician.

Headlamp aim adjustment

The headlamps are designed to be mechanically aimed, but can also be
aimed visually by doing the following:

1. Park your vehicle on a level surface about 25 feet (7.6 meters) away

from a vertical plain surface (3). Check your headlamp alignment at
night or in a dark area so that you can see the headlamp beam
pattern.

• (1) 8 feet (2.4 meters)
• (2) Center height of lamp to

ground

• (3) 25 feet (7.6 meters)
• (4) Horizontal reference line
• (5) Center of headlamps
• (6) Center line of the vehicle

2. The center of the headlamp is

marked either on the lens (a
circle or cross marker) or on the bulb shield, internal to the lamp
(mark or feature). Measure the height from the center of your
headlamp to the ground (2) and mark an 8 foot (2.4 meter) long
horizontal line on the wall or screen (1) at this height (masking tape
works well).

Lights

3. Turn on the low beam

headlamps and open the hood.

4. Locate the high intensity area of

the beam pattern and place the
top edge of the intensity zone
even with the horizontal
reference line (4). If the top
edge of the high intensity area
is not even with the horizontal
line, follow the next step to
adjust it.

5. Locate the vertical adjuster for

each headlamp. Adjust the aim
by using a 4 mm wrench to turn
the adjuster control either
clockwise (to adjust down) or
counterclockwise (to adjust up).

6. In addition to the horizontal line

marked in step 2, a pair of
vertical lines (5) must be
marked at the center line of the
headlamps on the wall or
screen.

7. On the wall or screen, locate the high intensity area of the beam

pattern. The left edge of the high intensity area should be even with
the vertical line corresponding to the headlamp under adjustment. If
the left edge of the high intensity area is not even with the vertical
line, follow the next step to adjust it.

8. Locate the horizontal adjuster

for each headlamp. Use a 4 mm
wrench, turning it clockwise or
counterclockwise, to place the
left edge of the high intensity
area even with the vertical line
corresponding to the headlamp
under adjustment.

TURN SIGNAL CONTROL
• Push down to activate the left

turn signal.

• Push up to activate the right turn

signal.

INTERIOR LAMPS

Courtesy/reading lamps (if equipped)

The courtesy lamp lights when:
• any door is opened.
• the instrument panel dimmer

switch is held up until the
courtesy lamps come on.

• the remote entry controls are

pressed and the ignition is off.

BULB REPLACEMENT

Headlamp condensation

Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air
enters the lamp assembly through the vents, condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a thin
film of mist can form on the interior of the lens. The thin mist eventually
clears and exits through the vents during normal operation. Clearing
time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:
• Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets)
• Fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens
Examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp water
leak) are:
• Water puddle inside the lamp

2009 B-Series (mbs)
Owners Guide, 1st Printing
USA (fus)

Lights

• Large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of

the lens

Take your vehicle to dealer for service if any of the above conditions of
unacceptable moisture are present.

Using the right bulbs

Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America and an
“E” for Europe to ensure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern
and safe visibility.

NOTE:

The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly or void the

lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn time.

Replacing headlamp bulbs

NOTE:

The procedure can be difficult. Your Mazda dealer has the proper

tools, training and parts to perform this task. If you have difficulty with
this, visit your local Mazda dealer.

WARNING:

Handling Halogen Bulbs: When a halogen bulb

breaks, it is dangerous. These bulbs contain pressurized gas. If

one is broken, it will explode and serious injuries could be caused by
the flying glass. If the glass portion of the bulb is touched with bare
hands, body oil could cause the bulb to overheat and explode when lit.
Never touch the glass portion of the bulb with your bare hands and
always wear eye protection when handling or working around halogen
bulbs.

WARNING:

Children and Halogen Bulbs: Playing with a halogen

bulb is dangerous. Serious injuries could be caused by dropping

a halogen bulb or breaking in some other way. Always keep halogen
bulbs out of the reach of children.

To remove the headlamp bulb:

1. Make sure headlamp switch is in the off position, then open the hood.

2. Reach behind the lamp assembly for access and disconnect the

electrical connector.

3. Locate the bulb retaining ring

behind the headlamp assembly.

2009 B-Series (mbs)

Lights

4. Remove the bulb retaining ring

by turning it counterclockwise
and remove the old bulb by
gently pulling it straight back
out of the lamp assembly. Keep
the retaining ring to retain the
new bulb.

To install the new bulb:

Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully and keep out of
children’s reach. Grasp the bulb only by its plastic base and do
not touch the glass. The oil from your hands could cause the bulb
to break the next time the headlamps are operated. Always wear
safety glasses while handling bulbs.

NOTE

: If the bulb is accidentally touched, it should be cleaned with

rubbing alcohol before being used.

1. With the flat side of the bulb’s plastic base facing upward, insert the

glass end of the bulb into the lamp assembly. You may need to turn
the bulb left or right to align the grooves in the plastic base with the
tabs in the lamp assembly. When the grooves are aligned, push the
bulb into the lamp assembly until the plastic base contacts the rear
of the lamp assembly.

2. Install the bulb retaining ring over the plastic base until it contacts

the rear of the socket by rotating clockwise until you feel a “stop.”

3. Install the electrical connector into the plastic base until it snaps,

locking it into position.

4. Turn the headlamps on and make sure they work properly. If the

headlamp was correctly aligned before you changed the bulb, you
should not need to align it again.
