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 ignition

switch is turned to off.

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

Radiator coolant will damage paint.

Rinse it off quickly if spilled.

Do not overfill.

If new coolant is required frequently,

consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

qChanging Coolant

Change coolant according to Scheduled

Maintenance (page 8-3).

CAUTION

l

Use only soft (demineralized) water

in the coolant mixture. Water that

contains minerals will cut down on

the coolant's effectiveness.

l

Don't add only water. Always add a

proper coolant mixture.

l

The engine has aluminum parts and

must be protected by an ethylene-

glycol-based coolant to prevent

corrosion and freezing.

l

DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol

antifreeze. DO NOT MIX alcohol or

methanol with the coolant. This

could damage the cooling system.

l

Don't use a solution that contains

more than 60 % antifreeze.

This would reduce effectiveness.
