A Word to Mazda Owners

Mazda3_8HS5-EE19I_Edition1_new 2019-7-1 10:56:36

We want to help you get the most

driving pleasure from your vehicle.

Your owner's manual, when read from

cover to cover, can do that in many

ways.

Illustrations complement the words of

the manual to best explain how to

enjoy your Mazda. By reading your

manual, you can ﬁnd out about the

features, important safety information,

and driving under various road

conditions.

You'll ﬁnd several WARNINGs,

CAUTIONs, and NOTEs in the manual.

WARNING

A WARNING indicates a situation in

which serious injury or death could

result if the warning is ignored.

CAUTION

A CAUTION indicates a situation in

which bodily injury or damage to your

vehicle, or both, could result if the

caution is ignored.

NOTE

A NOTE provides information and

sometimes suggests how to make

better use of your vehicle.

The symbol below in this manual

means “Do not do this” or “Do not let

this happen”.

The following symbol, located on

some parts of the vehicle, indicates

that this manual contains information

related to the part.

Please refer to the manual for a

detailed explanation.

References to left hand and right hand

are made as if facing in the same

direction the vehicle faces. Although

this manual explains a left-hand-drive

model, it also applies to

right-hand-drive models.

Index: A good place to start is the

Index, an alphabetical listing of all

information in your manual.
