The panel fits underneath the vehicle on the left-hand side, between the underbody area and front subframe assembly. It helps shield the subframe and adjoining mechanical components from road spray, stones, mud and general debris.
The splash guard also forms part of the original Mazda underbody panel arrangement, helping manage airflow beneath the vehicle and reducing direct exposure of the surrounding components to road contamination.
