

Do not add any fluid other than DEF to
the urea tank. If any fluid other than DEF
is added, it could cause a problem with
the SCR system or damage it. Do not
switch the ignition ON, and contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.



When adding DEF, use a bottle with an
anti-spill nozzle. If a bottle without an
anti-spill nozzle or a commercial
dispenser at a gas station is used, it could
cause leakage or the DEF to spray out.



Do not overfill the DEF. If DEF is added
unnecessarily, it could cause a problem
with the urea tank or damage it. Always
use a bottle with an auto-stop function
and stop adding fluid when the
auto-stop function operates.

NOTE



When adding DEF during low
temperatures (–11 

˚

C (12 

˚

F) or less),

move the vehicle to a warm location. If
the DEF starts to freeze, it may not flow
correctly and the correct amount may
not have been added. In addition, if the
fluid freezes in the urea tank, you may
not be able to tell if the correct amount
of fluid was added.



Replenishment of DEF by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer is recommended. If you
want to replenish the DEF yourself,
follow the replenishment procedure
below.
