Your first month of driving before your complimentary inspection is important. We know you’ll be eager to head out on the open road, so there are a few things you can do during this period to make sure your CX-3 maintains its long-term performance:
GET OFF TO A FLYING START
AVOID SITTING AT ONE SPEED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME BY SAFELY VARYING YOUR SPEED.
DON'T DRIVE AT FULL THROTTLE OR HIGH ENGINE REVS FOR EXTENDED PERIODS.
AVOID UNNECESSARY HEAVY BRAKING.
DON'T TOW A HEAVY TRAILER
YOUR COMPLIMENTARY INSPECTION
A quick monthly checklist
You can help maintain the performance of your Mazda between services. Taking an extra bit of time to ensure everything is in order can save you time and stress in the long-run. Use these simple steps to keep your vehicle at its best.
CHECK COOLANT
Regularly check the plastic reservoir’s level to ensure your CX-3’s engine is running at optimal temperature. It should be between the high and low marks.
CHECK TYRES
The tyres on your CX-3 are one of your car’s most important safety features, so it’s important you check your tyre pressures at least once a month. You’ll find the correct tyre pressures in the driver’s door jamb area.
CHECK WASHER FLUID
Fill the washer bottle with clean water and the appropriate amount of windscreen washer fluid.
Note: We recommend genuine washer fluid, as household detergents can damage paintwork and wiper blades.
CHECK OIL
Park on level ground with the engine warm. If you’ve just been driving, wait a few minutes. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth. Reinsert and check oil level. If it’s at the low end of the marks, top up using oils that meet Mazda specifications from your Mazda Dealer.
YOUR FIRST FULL SERVICE AND OIL CHANGE
The original oil in your new CX-3 is specially blended to optimise engine run-in and ensure long-term performance. Mazda recommends this first fill is replaced with oil that meets Mazda specifications after 12 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first, to ensure maximum longevity.
