Adding certain accessories to your vehicle (for example bug
deflectors, rollbars/light bars, running boards, ski/luggage racks) may
reduce fuel economy.

Using fuel blended with alcohol may lower fuel economy.

Fuel economy may decrease with lower temperatures during the first
8–10 miles (12–16 km) of driving.

Driving on flat terrain offers improved fuel economy as compared to
driving on hilly terrain.

Transmissions give their best fuel economy when operated in the top
cruise gear and with steady pressure on the gas pedal.

Close windows for high speed driving.

EPA fuel economy estimates

Every new vehicle should have a window sticker containing EPA fuel
economy estimates. Contact your authorized dealer if the window sticker
is not supplied with your vehicle. The EPA fuel economy estimates
should be your guide for the fuel economy comparisons with other
vehicles. Your fuel economy may vary depending upon the method of
operation and conditions.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with various emission control components and a
catalytic converter which will enable your vehicle to comply with
applicable exhaust emission standards. To make sure that the catalytic
converter and other emission control components continue to work
properly:

Use only the specified fuel listed.

Avoid running out of fuel.

Do not turn off the ignition while your vehicle is moving, especially at
high speeds.

Have the items listed in the

scheduled maintenance

section

performed according to the specified schedule.

The scheduled maintenance items listed in the scheduled maintenance
section are essential to the life and performance of your vehicle and to
its emissions system.

If other than Mazda authorized parts are used for maintenance
replacements or for service of components affecting emission control,
such non-Mazda parts should be equivalent to genuine Mazda parts in
performance and durability.
