NOTE

Once the engine coolant exceeds a preset

temperature, an electrical cooling fan turns

on. It will continue running for about 10

minutes after the Turn the ignition switch to

the ACC position.

NOTE

Changing the coolant should be done by an

Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Inspect the antifreeze protection and

coolant level in the coolant reservoir at

least once a year―at the beginning of the

winter season―and before traveling

where temperatures may drop below

freezing.

Inspect the condition and connections of

all cooli ng system and heater hoses.

Replace any that are swollen or

deteriorated.

The coolant should be at full in the

radiator and betwe en the F and L marks

on the coolant reservoir when the engine

is cool.

If it's at or near L, add enough coolant to

the coolant reservoir to provide freezing

and corrosion protection and to bring the

level to F.

CAUTION

Ø Radiator coolant will damage

paint.

Rinse it off quickly if spilled.

Ø Use only soft (demineralized)

water in the coolant mixture.

Water that contains minerals will

cut down on the coolant's

effectiveness.

Ø Don't add only water. Always add

a proper coolant mixture.

Ø The engine has aluminum parts

and must be protected by an

ethylene-glycol-based coolant to

prevent corrosion and freezing.

Ø DO NOT USE coolants Containing

Alcohol, methanol, Borate or

Silicate.

These coolants could damag e the

cooling system.

Ø DO NOT MIX alcohol or methanol

with the coolant. This could

damage the cooling system.

Ø Don't use a solution that contains

more than 60% antifreeze.

This would reduce effectiveness.
