Rocking the Vehicle
WARNING
Do not spin the wheels at high speed, 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 tyre could overheat and explode.
This could cause serious injuries.
CAUTION
Too much rocking may cause engine
overheating, transaxle failure, and tyre
damage.
If you must rock the vehicle to free it from
snow, sand or mud, depress the accelerator
slightly and slowly move the selector lever
from D to R position.
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tyre
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper leads, and a small bag of
sand or salt.
Ask an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer to check the
following:

Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the
radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on page 6-17.

Inspect the battery and its leads. Cold
reduces battery capacity.

Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in (page 6-14).

Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.

Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze
― but do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid (page
6-20).
NOTE

Remove snow before driving. Snow left
on the windscreen is dangerous as it
could obstruct vision.

Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice or
frozen snow on the mirror glass and
windscreen.

Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows and
mirrors as it could result in the glass
cracking.
