go to www.mazdausa.com in the owner's section you can register to the website and it will let you download the entire owner's manual

once the battery is in, reset the DSC. (see post above)

just put the key in turn the car to acc (so the computer can come on) and turn the wheel all the way to the left then all the way to the right. you should see one of the lights go off. then turn the car off then back on and you should be good. i have to do this all the time cause i let the car sit so long the bat goes dead lol. but now that the cold weather is coming i cant ride my bike as much so the car gets driven more so the bat shouldn't go dead any more

Next time use that bunny who stars in those battery commercials. You may need to SEARCH for it.

Did he really say that? Look at that "sentence." It's hard to figure out what he really tried to say - that search didn't work for him, or that he's too lazy to try it?

BTW - it's too late for him to do what he needed to do about the radio.

Oh forgot to ask, what model is our battery, ie which one to buy. Say I go to a parts store and ask for one. I just dont want to get whatever they give me.
I want the most powerful one there is

BTW, told you I am a LMF. Have not even gone out to buy the battery, but I am thinking about it

Blue tends to get a little impatient at times. That's what happens when you live in the basement.

when i used the Safari web browser the Search link wasn't there.

there are ways around it though. if you go to a specific section of the forum and scroll down to the bottom of the threads, there is another place to search. you have to click advanced search though or it will only search that section.
