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 close 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. Additionally, use of the
incorrect fuel filler cap or not using a
fuel filler cap may result in fuel leak,
which could result in serious burns or
death in an accident.
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.
WARNING
CAUTION
NOTE
The fuel-filler lid cannot be opened
when the left-side sliding door is open.
Close the sliding door to open the fuel-
filler lid.

Opening the Hood
1. With the vehicle parked, pull the
release handle to unlock the hood. Make sure the fuel-filler cap is
tightened securely. The check engine
light may illuminate 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.
CAUTIONHood
Closed and Securely Locked Hood:
A hood that is not closed and securely
locked is dangerous as it could fly
open while the vehicle is moving and
block the driver’s vision which could
result in a serious accident. Always
check that the hood is closed and
securely locked.

the engine to start only with a key the
system recognizes.
If someone attempts to start the engine
with an unrecognized key, the engine will
not start, thereby helping to prevent the
theft of your vehicle.

expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
•To avoid damage to the key, do not:

Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic field.
Expose the key to high
temperatures on places such as
the dashboard or hood, under
direct sunlight.

allow the following, as the engine
may not start due to the electronic
signal from the ignition key not
being transmitted correctly.
A key ring rests on the key grip.
