Frequently Asked Questions - 3 Hatchback (2008) MAZDA

What type of oil does the Mazda 3 (2008) use?

The recommended oil is 5W-20 synthetic or conventional. Capacity with filter is about 4.5 quarts (4.3 L). Always check the dipstick.

How do I reset the oil change light?

Turn ignition to ON (not start). Push the trip reset button until the wrench icon appears. Hold for 5 seconds until it flashes, then release and hold again for 5 seconds. The light should reset.

What is the recommended tire pressure?

For 205/55R16 tires, the recommended pressure is 32 psi front and rear (cold). Check the sticker on the driver's door jamb.

How do I pair a Bluetooth device?

The 2008 Mazda 3 does not have factory Bluetooth. If equipped with an aftermarket system, refer to that manual. For hands-free, use a wired auxiliary input.

How do I change a headlight bulb?

For low beam: open hood, remove rubber cover, twist and pull out the bulb. Replace with H7 (12V 55W). Avoid touching glass.

What does the check engine light mean?

It indicates an emission or engine fault. Common causes include loose gas cap, oxygen sensor, or catalytic converter. Use an OBD2 scanner to retrieve codes.

How often should I replace the timing chain?

The 2.0L and 2.3L engines have a timing chain, not a belt. It is designed to last the engine's lifetime, but inspect at 100,000 miles for tension.

How do I access the cabin air filter?

Remove the glove box by squeezing the sides and pulling. Behind it, remove the filter cover. Replace with a cabin air filter (size: 8x9x1 in).

What is the towing capacity?

The 2008 Mazda 3 is not rated for towing. If a hitch is installed, do not exceed 1,500 lbs (680 kg) with trailer brakes, but check local regulations.

How do I jump-start the battery?

Connect positive cable to dead battery's positive (+), then to donor's positive. Connect negative cable to donor's negative (-), then to an unpainted metal part of the dead car. Start donor, then dead car.

USER MANUAL 3 Hatchback (2008) MAZDA

All children instinctively know it.

A few adults still remember it.

One unique car company refuses to outgrow it.

In grown-up language, it means the exhilaration and

liberation that come from experiencing sheer motion.

But as usual, children put it much better and simply call it "Go Zoom-Zoom."

We practice it every day.

It's why we build the kind of cars we do.

Zoom-Zoom.

Can we re-awaken it in you today?

FrontSeatBeltPretensioner andLoadLimitingSystems

Foroptimumprotection, the driver and frontpassenger seat belts are equipped with pretensioner and load limiting systems. For both these systemstowork properly you must wear these seat belt properly.

Pretensioners:

Inmoderateorseverefrontalornear-frontalaccidents, thefrontairbag and pretensionersystemsdeploy simultaneously. Thefrontseatbelt retractorsremoveslackquicklyastheair bagsareexpanding. Inaddition, thepretensionersystem for thefrontpassenger, likethefront passengerairbag, isdesignedtoonly deployinaccordancewiththetotalseated weightonthefrontpassengerseat. Any timetheairbagsandseatbelt pretensionershavefiredtheymustbe replaced. Fordetails, refertothefront passengerseatweightsensors(page2-47).

Loadlimiter:

Theloadlimitingsystemreleasesbelt webbinginacontrolledmannertoreduce beltforceontheoccupant'schest. While themostsevereloadonaseatbeltoccurs infrontalcollisions, theloadlimiterhas anautomaticmechanicalfunctionandcan activateinanyaccidentmodewith sufficientoccupantmovement. Evenifthepretensionershavenotfired, theloadlimitingfunctionmustbe checkedbyanAuthorizedMazdaDealer.

WARNING

Wearseatbeltsonlyasrecommended inthisowner'smanual:

Incorrectpositioningofthedriverand frontpassengerseatbeltsis dangerous.Withoutproper positioning,thepretensionerand loadlimitingsystemscannotprovide adequateprotectioninanaccident andthiscouldresultinseriousinjury. Formoredetailsaboutwearingseat belts,referto "Fasteningtheseat belts"(page2-14).

Haveyourseatbeltschanged immediatelyifthepretensionerorload limiterhasbeenexpended:

Oneorbothfrontairbagsmay deploy, and the corresponding pretensioner(s) may alsodeployat thesametime. While it is safertouse acrash-usedseatbelt that was used in an accident thannoseat belt at all, using a seat belt with an expended pretensioner or load limiter loaded reduce sthesafety available to you. Like the air bags, these at belt pretensioners will only function once. After they are expended, they will not function again and must be replaced immediately. If these at belt pretensioners are not replaced, the risk of injury in a collision will increase. Always have an Authorized Mazda Dealer inspect these at belt pretensioners and air bags after any collision. Expended seat belt pretensioners and air bags must be replaced after any collision which caused them to deploy. Additionally, the load limiter will only limit loads on the chest once in a collision and this is another reason to have the front seat belts inspected.

Donotmodifythecomponentsor wiring,oruseelectronictestingdevices onthepretensionersystem:

Modifying the components or wiring of the pretension system, including the use of electronic testing devices is dangerous. You could accidentally activate it to make it in operable which would prevent it from activating in an accident. The occupants or repairers could be seriously injured.

Properlydisposeofthepretensioner system:

Touching the component of the supplemental restraint system after the air bags have inflated dangerous. Immediately after inflation, they are very hot. You could get burned.

Neverinstallanyfront-endequipmenttoyourvehicle:

Installationoffront-endequipment,suchasfrontalprotectionbar(kangaroobar, bullbar, pushbar, or othersimilardevices), snowplow, or winches, is dangerous. The airbagcrash sensorsystemcouldbeaffected. This could cause airbagstoinflate unexpectedly, or it could prevent the airbags from inflating during an accident. Frontoccupants could be seriously injured.

Donotmodifythesuspension:

Modifyingthevehiclesuspensionisdangerous. If the vehicle's height or the suspension is modified, the vehicle will be unable to accurately detect a collision resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the possibility of serious injuries.

Donotmodifythesupplementalrestraintsystem:

Modifying the components or wiring of the supplemental restraints system is dangerous. You could accidentally activate it to make it in operable. Donot make an modification to the supplemental restraints system. This includes installing trim, badges, or anything else over the air bag modules. It also includes installing extra electricale equipment on near system components or wiring. An Authorized Mazda Dealer can provide these care needed in theremoval and installation off front seats. It is important to protect the air bag wiring and connection to assure that the bags donot accidentally deploy, the reverse seats slide positions sensor and front passenger seat weights sensors are not damaged and that these seats retain an undamaged air bag connection.

Premiumunleadedfuel91[(R+M)/2method]orabove(96RONorabove)

*U.S. federal law requires that octaneratings be posted on gasolinestation pumps.

This vehicle is designed for and requires use of premium unleaded fuel. If 91 octane fuel (R + M) / 2 method (96RON) is not available, gasoline as low as 87 octane ((R + M) / 2 method (91RON) can be used temporarily foremergency purposes.

NOTE

• If the gear cannot be shifted down when driving at higherspeeds, the gear position indicator will flash twicetosignalthat the gear cannot be shifted down.
• If the automatic transaxle fluid (ATF) temperature becomes too high, there is the possibility that the transaxle will switch to automatic shift mode, canceling manual shift mode and turning off the gear position indicator illumination. This is an normal function to protect the AT. After the ATF temperature has decreased, the gear position indicator illumination turns back on and driving in manual shift mode is restored.

▼RadioReception

AMcharacteristics

AMsignalsbendaroundsuchthingsas buildingsormountainsandbounceoffthe ionosphere. Therefore, they can reach longerdistancethanFMsignals. Because of this, twostationsmaysometimesbe pickeduponthesamefrequencyatthe sametime.

FMcharacteristics

AnFMbroadcastrangeisusuallyabout 40—50km(25—30miles)fromthe source.Becauseofextracodingneededto breakthesoundintotwochannels, stereo FMhasevenlessrangethanmonaural (non-stereo)FM.

SignalsfromanFMtransmitteraresimilar tobeamsoflightbecausetheydonot bendaroundcorners,buttheydoreflect. UnlikeAMsignals,FMsignalscannot travelbeyondthehorizon.Therefore,FM stationscannotbereceivedatthegreat distancespossiblewithAMreception.

Atmosphericconditionscanalsoaffect FMreception.Highhumiditywillcause poorreception.However,cloudydays mayprovidebetterreceptionthanclear days.

TireInflationPressure

WARNING

Alwaysinflatethetirestothecorrect pressure:

Overinflationorunderinflationof tiresisdangerous.Adversehandling orunexpectedtirefailurecouldresult inaseriousaccident.

Refertospecificationchartsonpage 10-8.

The TirePressureMonitoringSystem does not alleviate the need to check the tire condition everyday, including whether the tires all look inflated properly. Inspectall tire pressure monthly (including these spare) when the tires are cold. Maintain recommended pressures for the best ride, handling, and minimum tire wear.

Whencheckingthetirepressures,useofa digitaltirepressuregaugeis recommended.

Toequalizetreadwear, rotatethetiresif irregular wear develops. According to the scheduled maintenance charts. Referto Scheduled Maintenance on page 8-3. During rotation, inspect them for correct balance.

Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY) spare tire in rotation.

Also, inspect them for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by one or a combination of the following:

- Incorrect tire pressure

• Improperwheelalignment
• Out-of-balancewheel
• Severebraking

Afterrotation, inflatealltirepressure to specification(page10-8)andinspectthe lugnutsfortightness.

UniformTireQualityGradingSystem(UTQGS)

This information relates to the tire gradingsystem developed by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for grading tires by treadwear, traction, and temperature performance.

▼TreadWear

Thetreadweargradeisacomparativeratingbasedonthewearrateofthetirewhentested undercontrolledconditionsonaspecifiedgovernmenttestcourse.

Forexample, atiregraded 150 would wear one-and-a-halftimes as well on the government course as atire graded 100.

Thereative performance of tires depends upon the actual condition so of their use, however, and may depart significantly from thenorm because of variations indriving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

▼Traction-AA,A,B,C

Thetractiongrades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. These grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions specified government tests surfaces of asphalt and concrete. At remarked C may have poor traction performance.

WARNING

Thetractiongradeassignedtothistireisbasedonbraking(straightahead)traction testsanddoesnotincludeaccelerationcornering(turning),hydroplaning,orpeak tractioncharacteristics.
