“Regular” unleaded gasoline. “Premium” unleaded gasoline is not

recommended (particularly in the United States) because it may cause

these problems to become more pronounced. If the problems persist, see

your authorized Mazda dealer.
It should not be necessary to add any aftermarket products to your fuel

tank if you continue to use high quality fuel of the recommended octane

rating.

Aftermarket products could cause damage to the fuel system.

Repairs to correct the effects of using an aftermarket product in

your fuel may not be covered by your warranty.

Many of the world’s automakers issued the World-wide Fuel Charter that

recommends gasoline specifications to provide improved performance

and emission control system protection for your vehicle. Gasolines that

meet the World-wide Fuel Charter should be used when available. Ask

your fuel supplier about gasolines that meet the World-wide Fuel

Charter.

Cleaner air

Mazda endorses the use of reformulated “cleaner-burning” gasolines to

improve air quality.

Running out of fuel

Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse

affect on powertrain components.
If you have run out of fuel:

You may need to cycle the ignition from OFF to ON several times after

refueling, to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to

the engine.

The

indicator may come on. For more information on the “Check

Engine” indicator, refer to the

Instrument Cluster

chapter.

Fuel Filler Cap

Your fuel tank filler cap has an indexed design with a 1/8 turn on/off

feature.
When fueling your vehicle:

1. Turn the engine off.
2. Pull the fuel filler door release handle to open the fuel filler door.
3. Carefully turn the filler cap counterclockwise 1/8 of a turn until it

stops.
