Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap

WARNING

When removing the fuel-filler 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-filler cap is
removed too quickly.

Before refueling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and flames away from
the filler neck:

Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be ignited
by sparks or flames causing serious burns
and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-filler
cap or not using a fuel-filler 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 overfilling the fuel tank
may cause fuel overflow or leakage. Fuel
overflow and leakage could damage the
vehicle and if the fuel ignites it could cause
a fire and explosion resulting in serious
injury or death.

CAUTION

Always use only a genuine Mazda fuel-filler
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.

(U.S.A. and Canada)

It may also cause the check engine light in
the instrument cluster to illuminate.
