Power Steering Fluid

qInspecting Power Steering Fluid

Level

CAUTION

To avoid damage to the power

steering pump, don't operate the

vehicle for long periods when the

power steering fluid level is low.

NOTE

Use specified power steering fluid (page 10-4).

Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir at

each engine oil change with the engine off

and cold. Add fluid if necessary; it does

not require periodic changing.

The level must be kept between MIN and

MAX.

Visually examine the lines and hoses for

leaks and damage.

If new fluid is required frequently, consult

an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Automatic transaxle Fluid

(ATF)

qInspecting Automatic transaxle

Fluid Level

The automatic transaxle fluid level should

be inspected regularly. Measure it as

described below.

CAUTION

Ø Always check the automatic

transaxle fluid level according to

the following procedure. If the

procedure is not done correctly,

the automatic transaxle fluid level

cannot be measured accurately

which could lead to automatic

transaxle damage.

Ø A low fluid level can cause

transaxle slippage. Overfilling can

cause foaming, loss of fluid, and

transaxle malfunction.

Ø It is recommended to use Mazda

Genuine automatic transaxle fluid

(page 10-4).

1. Park on a level surface and set the

parking brake firmly.

2. Make sure there is no ATF leakage

from the ATF hose or the housing.

3. Shift the shift lever to the park position

(P), start the engine and warm it up.

CAUTION

Do not shift the shift lever while the

engine is warming up. If the ATF level

is extremely low, the automatic

transaxle could be damaged.
