Brake Pad Wear Indicator

When the disc brake pads become worn,

the built-in wear indicators contact the

disc plates. This causes a screeching noise

to warn that the pads should be replaced.

When you hear this noise, consult an

Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as

possible.

Manual Transmission Shift

Pattern

The shift pattern of the transmission is

conventional, as shown.

Press the clutch pedal all the way down

while shifting; then release it slowly.

Your vehicle is equipped with a device to

prevent shifting to R (reverse) by mistake.

Push the shift lever downward and shift to

R.

NOTE

When the engine is jump-started to

charge the battery, uneven rpm occurs

and the ABS warning light comes on.

This is due to a weak battery, not a

malfunction.

Recharge the battery.

Driving with Worn Disc Pads:

Driving with worn disc pads is

dangerous. The brakes could fail and

cause a serious accident. As soon as

you hear a screeching noise consult

an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
