BRAKE FLUID

The fluid level will drop slowly as
the brakes wear, and will rise when
the brake components are replaced.
Fluid levels between the “MIN” and
“MAX” lines are within the normal
operating range; there is no need to
add fluid. If the fluid levels are
outside of the normal operating
range the performance of the
system could be compromised; seek
service from your authorized dealer
immediately.

CLUTCH FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)

Check the fluid level. Refer to scheduled maintenance for the service
interval schedules.

During normal operation, the fluid level in the clutch reservoir should
remain constant. If the fluid level drops, refill the fluid level to the step
in the reservoir.

Use only a DOT 3 brake fluid designed to meet Mazda specification.
Refer to Maintenance product specifications and capacities in this
chapter.

WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product
label. For MEDICAL EMERGENCY INFORMATION contact a
physician or Poison Control Center immediately. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

1. Clean the reservoir cap before

removal to prevent dirt and
water from entering the

2. Remove cap and rubber

diaphragm from reservoir.

3. Add fluid until the level reaches

the step in the reservoir.

4. Reinstall rubber diaphragm and

cap onto reservoir.
