3–28
Before Driving
Fuel and Emission
Fuel-Filler Flap and Cap
WARNING
When removing the fuel-fi ller cap,
loosen the cap slightly and wait for any
hissing to stop, then remove it:
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-fi ller cap is removed too
quickly.
Before refuelling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and fl ames away
from the fi ller neck:
Fuel vapour is dangerous. It could be
ignited by sparks or fl ames causing
serious burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-
fi ller cap or not using a fuel-fi ller cap
may result in a fuel leak, which could
result in serious burns or death in an
accident.
Do not continue refuelling after
the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically:
Continuing to add fuel after the fuel
pump nozzle has shut off automatically
is dangerous because overfi lling the
fuel tank may cause fuel overfl ow or
leakage. Fuel overfl ow and leakage
could damage the vehicle and if the
fuel ignites it could cause a fi re and
explosion resulting in serious injury or
death.
CAUTION
Always use only a designated Mazda
fuel-fi ller cap or an approved equivalent,
available at an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer. The wrong cap can result in
a serious malfunction of the fuel and
emission control systems.
Fuel-Filler Flap
To open, pull the remote fuel-fi ller fl ap
release.
To close, press the fuel-fi ller fl ap until it
locks securely.

Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
Tyre Infl ation Pressure
WARNING
Always infl ate the tyres to the correct
pressure:
Overinfl ation or underinfl ation of tyres
is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tyre failure could result in
a serious accident.
Refer to Tyres on page 9-9 .
Use only a Mazda-genuine tyre valve
cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is dangerous
as the correct tyre air pressure cannot
be maintained if the tyre valve becomes
damaged. If the vehicle is driven under
this condition, the tyre air pressure
will decrease which could result in a
serious accident. Do not use any part
for the tyre valve cap that is not a
Mazda-genuine part.
Inspect all tyre pressures monthly
(including the spare
* ) when the tyres are
cold. Maintain recommended pressures for
the best ride, handling, and minimum tyre
wear.
Refer to the specifi cation charts (page
9-9 ).
(With tyre pressure monitoring system)
After adjusting the tyre pressure,
initialization of the tyre pressure
monitoring system is necessary to make
the system operate normally.
Refer to Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization on page 4-166 .
NOTE

 Always check tyre pressure when
tyres are cold.
  Warm tyres normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not
release air from warm tyres to adjust
the pressure.
  Underinfl ation can cause reduced
fuel economy, uneven and
accelerated tyre wear, and poor
sealing of the tyre bead, which
will deform the wheel and cause
separation of tyre from rim.
  Overinfl ation can produce a harsh
ride, uneven and accelerated tyre
wear, and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
 Keep your tyre pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs
infl ating, have it inspected.
Tyre Rotation
WARNING
Rotate tyres periodically:
Irregular tyre wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining
good performance in handling and
braking, rotate the tyres every 10,000
km (6,250 miles), or sooner if irregular
wear develops.
During rotation, inspect them for correct
balance.
