Rocking the Vehicle
WARNING
Do not spin the wheels at more than 56
km/h (35 mph), and do not allow
anyone to stand behind a wheel when
pushing the vehicle:
When the vehicle is stuck, spinning
the wheels at high speed is
dangerous. The spinning tire could
overheat and explode. This could
cause serious injuries.
CAUTION
Too much rocking may cause engine
overheating, transaxle failure, and
tire da mage.
If you must rock the vehicle to free it from
snow, sand or mud, depress the
accelerator slightly and slowly move the
shift lever from 1 (D) to R.
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag of
sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
perform the following precautions:
l
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on page 6-29.
l
Inspect the battery and its cables. Cold
reduces battery capacity.
l
Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in (page 6-27).
l
Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.
l
Use was her fluid made with
antifreezebut do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid

dangerous as it could obstruct vision.
Remove snow before driving.
l
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice or
frozen snow on the mirror glass and
windshield.
l
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.
l
Braking performance can be adversely
affected if snow or ice adheres to the
brake components. If this situation
occurs, drive the vehicle slowly,
releasing the accelerator pedal and
lightly applying the brakes several
times until the brake performance
returns to normal.
