This means that if the timing belt breaks, the valves will not collide with the pistons. While a broken timing belt is still a serious issue, it's less likely to cause catastrophic damage to the engine.
It's still crucial to maintain your timing belt. Mazda recommends replacing the timing belt every 60,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes first. This will help prevent any potential problems and ensure the longevity of your engine.
