Fuel-Filler Lid
To open, pull up the remote fuel-filler lid
release.





Fuel-Filler Cap
To remove the filler cap, turn it
counterclockwise.
To replace the filler cap, turn it clockwise
until it clicks.
Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
Fuel Spray:Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can
burn skin and eyes and cause illness
when ingested. Fuel spray is released
when there is pressure in the fuel
tank and the fuel cap is removed too
quickly. When removing the fuel cap,
loosen the cap slightly and wait for
any hissing to stop. Then remove it.
Fuel Vapor:
Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be
ignited by sparks or flames causing
serious burns and injuries. Before
refueling, stop the engine, and always
keep sparks and flames away from the
filler neck.
Always use only a genuine Mazda fuel
cap or an approved equivalent,
available at Authorized Mazda
Dealers. 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.

The sunroof can be opened or closed
electrically only when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.
Make sure the fuel-filler cap is
tightened securely. The check engine
light comes on when the cap isn
’t
tightened securely. If the light remains
on (even after you have tightened the
cap securely, driven, and restarted the
engine several times), it may indicate a
different problem. Contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
CAUTIONSunroof
Extending the Head or Arms Through the Sunroof:Extending the head, arms, or other
parts of the body through the sunroof
is dangerous. The head or arms could
hit something while the vehicle is
moving. This could cause death or
serious injury. Don ’t let passengers
stand up or extend anything through
the open sunroof while the vehicle is
moving.
Closing the Sunroof:
A closing sunroof is dangerous. The
hands, head, or even neck of a person
— especially a child — could be
caught in it as it closes, causing
serious injury or even death. Make
sure the opening is clear before
closing the sunroof.

Security System
Form No. 8Q50-EA-01G
The optional theft-deterrent system is
designed to prevent your vehicle or its
contents from being stolen when all the
doors, hood, and trunk lid are locked.
If forcible entry is attempted, the system
sounds the horn and flashes the hazard
warning lights and headlights.
The system won’t function unless it ’s
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, lock all the doors, close all the
windows, take your key, your transmitter,
and make sure the security indicator light
is flashing.





Operation
What turns it on:
• Forcing open a door, the hood or the
trunk lid.
• Opening the hood or the trunk lid by
operating the hood release lever or
remote trunk lid release button.
• Opening a door after unlocking the
doors with the key or an inside door-
lock button. What it does:
•
The horn sounds intermittently and the
hazard warning lights and headlights
flash.
• The alarm continues for about 3
minutes, then stops.
When it is triggered, the warning lights
and horn will activate. They will shut off
when:
• The doors are unlocked with the
keyless entry system transmitter.
• The trunk lid is opened with the key or
the keyless entry system transmitter.
• The ignition is turned to the ON
position.





How to Arm the System
1. Remove the ignition key.
2. Close the hood and the trunk lid. Then

button on the keyless entry system
transmitter.
The following method will also arm the
theft-deterrent system:
Close the hood and the trunk lid. Press the
area on the door-lock switch marked
"DOOR LOCK" once. Close all the doors.
The hazard warning lights will flash for
about 2 seconds to indicate the system is
armed.
Theft-Deterrent System
NOTE
The theft-deterrent system has been
designed to operate mainly with the
keyless entry system transmitter.
NOTE
The alarm will activate about 15
seconds after a door has been opened.
The indicator light flashes rapidly for
about 15 seconds.
NOTE
Locking the doors with a key will not
arm the system.

fully armed. It continues to flash until
the theft-deterrent system is turned off.





To Turn off an Armed System
An armed system can be turned off by
pressing the button on the keyless
entry system transmitter. If the transmitter
doesn ’t work, unlock the driver ’s door
with a key. Open the door and within 15
seconds, put the key into the ignition and

longer than 15 seconds the alarm will
sound.

opening the trunk lid with the key or
pressing the button or the button
on the keyless entry system transmitter. If
the transmitter doesn ’t work, put the key

are in the glove box.
Mazda recommends that you affix them to
the lower rear corner of the front door
windows.
NOTE
The trunk lid can be opened with the
key or the transmitter even when the
system is armed. The alarm will not
come on and the system will remain
armed.
NOTE
If you have any problem with the theft-
deterrent system, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Driving Tips
Form No. 8Q50-EA-01G
•Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask a Mazda dealer to perform the
following precautions:
• Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
• Inspect the battery and its cables. Cold
reduces battery capacity.
• Use only cold-weather engine
oil (page 8-10).
• Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.
• Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze —but don ’t use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer
fluid (page 8-20).
• Don ’t use the parking brake if it might
freeze. Instead, shift to P with an
automatic transaxle and to 1 or R with
a manual transaxle. Block the rear
wheels.





Snow Tires
Your vehicle is originally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used all
year around. In some extreme climates
you may find it necessary to replace them
with snow tires during the winter months
to further improve traction on snow and
ice covered roads.
Use snow tires on all four wheels
Don ’t go faster than 120 km/h (75 mph).
Inflate snow tires 28 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm 2, 4
psi) more than recommended on the tire
pressure label (driver’ s door), but never
more than the maximum cold-tire
pressure shown on the tires.
Winter Driving
Mixing Tire Types:Using tires different in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle ’s handling
could be greatly affected and result in
an accident. Use only the same size
and type tires (snow, radial, or non-
radial) on all four wheels.
Check local regulations before using
studded tires.
