To ensure proper functioning, simply check for the AWD indicator on the instrument cluster - if the warning light illuminates abnormally, professional inspection may be needed. Mazda's i-Activ AWD is renowned for its fuel efficiency, consuming less than traditional full-time AWD systems while being particularly suitable for Malaysia's frequent wet roads and mild off-road conditions. However, it's important to note this isn't a hardcore off-road system, and extreme terrain still requires cautious driving.

If you notice fluid levels dropping below minimum marks or any leakage signs, you should visit an authorized service center promptly. Mazda's genuine coolant and engine oil are specially formulated for local conditions, ensuring optimal engine cooling and lubrication performance.
