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 6-23.

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 6-21).

l

Inspect the ignition system for damage

and loose connections.

l

Use was her fluid made with

antifreeze―but do not use engine

coolant antifreeze for washer fluid

(page 6-26).

l

Do not use the parking brake in

freezing weather as it may freeze.

Instead, shift to P with an automatic

transaxle and to 1 or R with a manual

transaxle. Block the rear wheels.

l

Snow left on the windshield is

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.
