Before Driving

Fuel and Emission

 Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap

WARNING

  When removing the fuel-fi ller cap, 
loosen the cap slightly and wait for any 
hissing to stop, then remove it:

  Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can 
burn skin and eyes and cause illness 
if ingested. Fuel spray is released 
when there is pressure in the fuel tank 
and the fuel-fi ller cap is removed too 
quickly.
  

  Before refueling, stop the engine, and 
always keep sparks and fl ames away 
from the fi ller neck:

  Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be 
ignited by sparks or fl ames causing 
serious burns and injuries.
  Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-
fi ller cap or not using a fuel-fi ller cap 
may result in a fuel leak, which could 
result in serious burns or death in an 
accident.
  

  Do not continue refueling after the fuel 
pump nozzle shuts off  automatically:

  Continuing to add fuel after the 
fuel pump nozzle has shut off  
automatically is dangerous because 
overfi lling the fuel tank may cause 
fuel overfl ow or leakage. Fuel overfl ow 
and leakage could damage the vehicle 
and if the fuel ignites it could cause a 
fi re and explosion resulting in serious 
injury or death.

CAUTION

  Always use only a genuine Mazda fuel-
fi ller cap or an approved equivalent, 
available at an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer. The wrong cap can result in 
a serious malfunction of the fuel and 
emission control systems. It may also 
cause the check engine light in the 
instrument cluster to illuminate.

 Fuel-Filler  Lid

    To open, pull the remote fuel-fi ller lid 
release.
  To close, press the fuel-fi ller lid until it
