w Inspecting Brake Fluid Level
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir
regularly. It should be kept at MAX.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake linings. If it
is excessively low, have the brake system
inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

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.
