7. Responsibilities of the policy holder

You are responsible for properly operating and maintaining your Mazda Vehicle in accordance with the instructions described in the Owner’s Manual. You should retain evidence that proper maintenance has been performed for Warranty protection.

If you do not do these things, you may void this Warranty.

These maintenance services, described in the Owner’s manual, should be performed at more frequent intervals if the Mazda Vehicle is subject to severe conditions such as operation in extremely dusty or low temperature areas, or on short runs which prevent the engine from reaching normal operating temperatures.

These maintenance services must be performed by an expert repairer. We recommend an Authorised Mazda Dealer. If you do not use an Authorised Mazda Dealer, you must retain the evidence referred to in clause 5(b).
