WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
- Remove and install all parts when the engine is cold, otherwise they can cause severe burns or serious injury.
- Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when removing the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around it and slowly turn it counterclockwise 2.5 turns. Step back while the pressure escapes.
- When you are sure all the pressure is gone, turn the cap using the cloth, and remove it.
- Verify that the engine coolant level in the coolant reserve tank is between the MIN and MAX marks.
- If the engine coolant level is below MIN mark, add engine coolant.
