Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
WARNING
Fuel Spray:
Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can
burn skin and eyes and cause illness if
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.
CAUTION
Always use only a genuine Mazda fuel
cap or an approved equivalent,
available at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer. 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.
qFuel-Filler Lid
To open, pull up the remote fuel-filler lid
release.

CAUTION
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.
Hood
WARNING
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.
qOpening the Hood
1. With the vehicle parked, pull the
release handle to unlock the hood.
2. Pull the hood latch up and lift the hood.

WARNING
Extending the Head or Arms Through
the Moonroof:
Extending the head, arms, or other
parts of the body through the

vehicle is moving. This could cause
death or serious injury. Don't let
passengers stand up or extend
anything through the open moonroof
while the vehicle is moving.
Closing the Moonroof:
A closing moonroof is dangerous. The
hands, head, or even neck of a person
―especially a child―could be caught

Immobilizer Systemí
The optional immobilizer system allows
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.

lChanges or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
lTo avoid damage to the key, do not:
lDrop the key.lGet the key wet.lExpose the key to any kind of
magnetic field.
lExpose the key to high
temperatures on places such as the
dashboard or hood, under direct
sunlight.
CAUTION
When starting the engine do not allow
the following, as the engine may not
start due to the electronic signal from
the ignition key not being transmitted
correctly.
lA key ring rests on the key grip.
lMetal parts of other keys or metal
objects touch the key grip.
lSpare keys or keys for other vehicles
equipped with an immobilizer
system touch or come near the key
grip.
