[ ] Actual service invoice or record [ ] No consumable needed. OBSERVE & RECORD Observation date: __________ Vehicle / equipment confirmed: __________ Record the exact tab, actual completed work and before/after values; preserve unrelated reminders. Confirmed Type B audio screen: __________ Invoice item actually performed: __________ Scheduled/rotation/oil values before any reset: __________ Changed item and remaining unrelated reminders: __________ Before care: __________ STEPS 1.

[ ] Review Scheduled, Tire Rotation and Oil Change separately. Each represents a different maintenance reminder. https://www.mazdausa.com/siteassets/global-resources/vehicle-resources/owner-manuals/2017/mazda3/2017-mazda3-owners-manual.pdf#page=432 | PDF page 432 3. [ ] Match the service record to the exact item completed.

[ ] Select Reset for the completed item only, following the official Type B monitor instructions.

[ ] Verify the relevant reminder value changed as expected and retain the real service record. An unexplained remaining warning needs inspection rather than repeated resets. https://www.mazdausa.com/siteassets/global-resources/vehicle-resources/owner-manuals/2017/mazda3/2017-mazda3-owners-manual.pdf#page=432 | PDF page 432 6. [ ] Record the exact tab, actual completed work and before/after values; preserve unrelated reminders. https://www.mazdausa.com/siteassets/global-resources/vehicle-resources/owner-manuals/2017/mazda3/2017-mazda3-owners-manual.pdf#page=432 | PDF page 432 DECISION CHECKS Does the car have Type B audio, and can the completed work be confirmed in a service record? Yes — ready for this check → Continue with the steps, stopping if the real component differs from the manual. Not yet / not sure → Preparation saved. Return when the condition is confirmed; leave the vehicle untouched. Different audio interface, unknown completed work or unexplained warning → Interface differs, work unverified or warning remains unexplained: ask the service provider. What did the reminder review establish? Completed item’s reminder checked / reset, with the service record retained → Was only the verified completed item reset, with its expected value and unrelated reminders retained? Interface differs, work unverified or warning remains unexplained: ask the service provider. → Interface differs, work unverified or warning remains unexplained: ask the service provider. I have only prepared the plan → Plan prepared; no physical maintenance result recorded. Was only the verified completed item reset, with its expected value and unrelated reminders retained? Correct completed item verified; remaining reminders preserved → Completed item’s reminder checked / reset, with the service record retained The observation or repeat check is still incomplete → Plan prepared; no physical maintenance result recorded. Wrong item changed, work unverified or warning unexplained → Interface differs, work unverified or warning remains unexplained: ask the service provider. RECHECK On the next parked screen check, does the completed item remain consistent while other required work remains visible? After care: __________ Retest: not checked / improved / unchanged / worse If an earlier condition changes, reassess the later checks and result. RESULT CHECK What did the reminder review establish? Completed item’s reminder checked / reset, with the service record retained Record only the result you actually observed. A saved web checklist is not confirmation that a vehicle has been repaired. Was only the verified completed item reset, with its expected value and unrelated reminders retained? On the next parked screen check, does the completed item remain consistent while other required work remains visible? STOP CONDITIONS Different audio interface, unknown completed work or unexplained warning Interface differs, work unverified or warning remains unexplained: ask the service provider. A part, label, connector or fastener differs from the cited manual; access requires raising the vehicle; you cannot identify the correct component. SERVICE HANDOFF Take the recorded observations, their dates and any actual work history to the service provider. Interface differs, work unverified or warning remains unexplained: ask the service provider.
