Camera and Lens Maintenance
-
The camera cover is made of hard plastic, therefore do not apply oil film remover, organic solvents, wax, or coating agents. If any such agent is applied, wipe it using a soft cloth immediately.
-
Do not rub the camera cover or lens forcefully, or clean them with an abrasive or hard brush.
If there are water droplets, snow, or mud on the camera lens, wipe it off using a soft cloth. If the camera lens is especially dirty, wash it off with mild detergent.
Seat Belt Maintenance
-
Clean the soiled area by lightly dabbing it with a soft cloth soaked in a mild detergent (approx. 5%) diluted with water.
-
Wipe off the remaining detergent using a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung out well.
-
Before retracting seat belts which have been pulled out for cleaning, dry them off thoroughly and make sure there is no remaining moisture on them.
If a seat belt appears frayed or has abrasions, have it replaced by an Authorized Mazda Dealer:
If a seat belt is used under such a condition, it cannot function at its full capacity which could result in serious injury or death.
Use a mild detergent to remove soiling from a seat belt:
If organic solvents are used for cleaning the seat belts or they become stained or bleached, there is the possibility of them becoming weakened and as a result, they may not function at their full capacity which could cause serious injury or death.
Clean seat belts diligently if they get dirty. Leaving them uncleaned will make it difficult to clean them later, and it may affect the smooth retracting of the seat belt.
Vinyl Upholstery Maintenance
Remove dust and dirt from the vinyl upholstery using a brush or vacuum.
Remove soiling from vinyl upholstery using a leather and vinyl upholstery cleaner.
Instrument Panel Top (Soft pad) Maintenance
Extremely soft material is used for the soft pad surface. If the soft pad surface is rubbed harshly with a dry cloth, it could result in the surface being damaged and leaving white scratch marks.
-
Wipe the soiled area with a soft cloth soaked in a mild detergent (approx. 5%) diluted with water.
-
Wipe off the remaining detergent using a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung out well.
Active Driving Display Maintenance
The dust-proof sheet has a coating. When cleaning, do not use a hard or rough-surface cloth, or cleaning detergent. In addition, if a chemical solvent gets on the active driving display, wipe it off immediately. The dust-proof sheet could be damaged and the surface coating could be scratched. Use a fine, soft cloth such as those used for cleaning eyeglasses.
Panel and Cork Area Maintenance
If a panel or cork area becomes soiled, gently wipe it off with a soft cloth soaked in clean water and thoroughly wrung out.
If some areas require further cleaning, use the following procedure:
-
Wipe the soiled area with a soft cloth soaked in a mild detergent (approx. 5 %) diluted with water.
-
Wipe off the remaining detergent using a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung out well.
-
Be particularly careful when cleaning shiny surface panels and metallic parts such as plating as they can be scratched easily.
-
(Cork area)
Do not apply items with adhesive properties to the cork area. Otherwise, the cork could be damaged.
Cleaning the Floor Mats
Rubber floor mats should be cleaned with mild soap and water only.
Do not use rubber cleaners, such as tire cleaner or tire shine, when cleaning rubber floor mats:
Cleaning the rubber floor mats with rubber cleaning products makes the floor mats slippery.
This may cause an accident when depressing the accelerator or brake pedal or when getting in or out of the vehicle.
After removing the floor mats for cleaning, always reinstall them securely (Search).
