2019–2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata FAQ
Do I need to replace automatic transmission fluid periodically?
2024–2026
No; the manual states that periodic replacement of automatic transmission fluid is unnecessary.
Page 522 in the 2026 manual →2019–2023
Periodic automatic transmission fluid replacement is unnecessary; the specified fluid is Mazda Genuine JWS3309.
Page 490 in the 2023 manual →Why did my doors and fuel-filler lid lock again after I unlocked them?
2026
They automatically relock after about 60 seconds unless you open a door or trunk lid, or switch vehicle power from off.
Page 81 in the 2026 manual →Why may the lights stay on after daylight returns?
2026
If it stays dark for several minutes during daytime, the light sensor may identify nighttime and delay turning the lights off after it brightens.
Page 161 in the 2026 manual →What does the flashing green KEY indicator light mean?
2026
It means the key battery is low when vehicle power switches from ON to OFF; replace the key battery.
Page 399 in the 2026 manual →What can cause the check engine warning light to turn on?
2026
Possible causes include engine-control, emissions-control, or transmission-control problems, very low fuel, or a missing or loose fuel-filler cap, except in Mexico.
Page 392 in the 2026 manual →2019–2023
The light may indicate an engine electrical or emissions problem, very low fuel, or a missing or loose fuel-filler cap; note driving conditions and contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
If it remains on or flashes continuously, avoid high speeds and contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
Page 400 in the 2023 manual →How should I clean the iridium spark plugs?
2019–2026
Do not clean iridium spark plugs with a wire brush, because it can damage the fine coating on the iridium alloy and platinum tips.
Page 522 in the 2026 manual →What should I do if the brake or clutch fluid is low?
2024–2025
Arrange a brake inspection; if the level is excessively low, have an Authorized Mazda Dealer check the brake/clutch system, since low fluid may mean lining wear or a leak and could lead to brake failure and an accident.
Page 426 in the 2025 manual →When should I follow Schedule 2 for severe driving conditions?
2024–2025
Follow Schedule 2 if you drive repeatedly short distances, in dust, with extended braking, on corrosive or rough roads, while idling or driving slowly, in cold, humid, or extremely hot conditions, or continually in mountainous areas.
Page 409 in the 2025 manual →How do I turn on the key's power saving function?
2024–2025
- Press the key's lock button four times within 3 seconds; its operation indicator light turns on.
- While the indicator is on, press and hold the lock button for at least 2 seconds; the hazard lights and warning sound operate once, confirming activation.
- This disables advanced keyless entry and starting the engine while carrying the key, although the remote control still works from its buttons.
- The remote operation indicator light does not turn on or flash while power saving is active.
2019–2023
If a key left inside the vehicle has been suspended, press that key's unlock button to restore its functions.
Page 80 in the 2023 manual →Which scheduled maintenance schedule applies to my driving?
2019–2023
Use Schedule 1 if none of the listed severe conditions apply; use Schedule 2 for repeated short trips, dusty roads, heavy braking, corrosive materials, rough or muddy roads, extended idling or low-speed driving, cold or humid climates, extreme heat, or continual mountain driving.
