key to unlock them. This key is attached
to the lug wrench and is stored with the
spare tire. Register them with the lock
manufacturer by filling out the card
provided in the glove box and mailing it in
the accompanying envelope. If you lose
your key, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer or use the lock manufacturer’s
order form, which is with the registration
card.

Automotive readers have rated 2003 Mazda MX 5 Miata Owners Manual 1.0 out of 1.0 based on 1 product reviews. No matter what I do this will not download. I have followed all instructions and even the instructions for override because Windows states this software has undesirable problems ( but it makes the same claim for all Mazda Manuals I've found on the net) Now I am also unablre to review pages of the manual. I'm being stopped at the cover. I need access to this manual. Please help.
