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.

If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

been installed to it.
NOTE
•If the warning light comes on and
stays on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, the

•Signals from a TV or radio station,
or from a transceiver or a mobile
telephone, could interfere with your

it checked. If you shut off the
