Interior Care
Dashboard Precautions
Prevent caustic solutions such as perfume and cosmetic oils from contacting the dashboard. They'll damage and discolor it.
If these solutions get on the dashboard, wipe them off immediately.
CAUTION:
Do not use glazing agents.
Glazing agents contain ingredients which may cause discoloration, wrinkling, cracks and peeling.
Cleaning the Upholstery and Interior Trim
Vinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean vinyl with a leather-and-vinyl cleaner.
Leather
Real leather isn't uniform and may have scars, scratches, and wrinkles. Clean it with a leather cleaner or mild soap.
Wipe it with a damp soft cloth; then dry and buff it with a dry soft cloth.
Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean it with a mild soap solution good for upholstery and carpets. Remove fresh spots immediately with a fabric spot cleaner.
To keep the fabric looking clean and fresh, take care of it. Otherwise its color will be affected, it can be stained easily, and its fire-resistance may be reduced.
CAUTION:
Use only recommended cleaners and
procedures. Others may affect
appearance and fire-resistance.
Cleaning the Lap/Shoulder Belt Webbing
Clean the webbing with a mild soap solution recommended for upholstery or carpets. Follow instructions. Don't bleach or dye the webbing; this may weaken it.
After cleaning the belts, thoroughly dry the belt webbing and make sure there is no remaining moisture before retracting them.
WARNING:
Have an Authorized Mazda Dealer
replace damaged seat belts
immediately:
Using damaged seat belts is
dangerous. In a collision, damaged
belts cannot provide adequate
protection.
Cleaning the Window Interiors
If the windows become covered with an oily, greasy, or waxy film, clean them with glass cleaner. Follow the directions on the container.
CAUTION:
Don't scrape or scratch the inside
of the rear window. You may
damage the rear window defroster
grid.
When washing the inside rear
window, use a soft cloth
dampened in lukewarm water,
gently wiping the antenna lines.
Use of glass cleaning products could damage the antenna.
