Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
▼ Bright-Metal Maintenance
Use tar remover to remove road tar
and insects. Never do this with a
knife or similar tool.
To prevent corrosion on bright-metal
surfaces, apply wax or chrome
preservative and rub it to a high
lustre.
During cold weather or in coastal
areas, cover bright-metal parts with a
coating of wax or preservative
heavier than usual. It would also help
to coat them with noncorrosive
petroleum jelly or some other
protective compound.
CAUTION
Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, or strong detergents
containing highly alkaline or caustic
agents on chrome-plated or anodised
aluminium parts. This may result in
damage to the protective coating and
cause discolouration or paint
deterioration.

▼ Undercoating
This special coating is applied to the
critical parts of the underside to
protect vehicles from damage caused
by chemicals or stones. This coating is
liable to be damaged with time. Check
this coating periodically.
Should repairs be necessary, consult an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer). They are
well informed on how repairs should
be made.
▼ Camera and Lens Maintenance
CAUTION
The camera cover is made of hard
plastic, therefore do not apply oil
film remover, organic solvents, wax,
or coating agents. If any such agent is
applied, wipe it using a soft cloth
immediately.
Do not rub the camera cover or lens
forcefully, or clean them with an
abrasive or hard brush.
NOTE
If there are water droplets, snow, or
mud on the camera lens, wipe it off
using a soft cloth. If the camera lens is
especially dirty, wash it off with mild
detergent.
▼ Aluminium Wheel Maintenance
A protective coating is provided over
the aluminium wheels. Special care is
needed to protect this coating.
