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.
