Warning
WARNING:Servicing a vehicle can be dangerous. If you have not received service-related training, the risks of injury, property damage, and failure of servicing increase. The recommended servicing procedures for the vehicle in this workshop information were developed with Mazda-trained technicians in mind. This information may be useful to non-Mazda trained technicians, but a technician with service-related training and experience will be at less risk when performing service operations. However, all users of this information are expected to at least know general safety procedures.
This information contains "Warnings" and "Cautions" applicable to risks not normally encountered in a general technician's experience. They should be followed to reduce the risk of injury and the risk that improper service or repair may damage the vehicle or render it unsafe. It is also important to understand that the "Warnings" and "Cautions" are not exhaustive. It is impossible to warn of all the hazardous consequences that might result from failure to follow the procedures.
The procedures recommended and described in this information are effective methods of performing service and repair. Some require tools specifically designed for a specific purpose. Persons using procedures and tools which are not recommended must satisfy themselves thoroughly that neither personal safety nor safety of the vehicle will be jeopardized.
