3–24
Before Driving
Fuel and Emission
CAUTION
  USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.  Leaded fuel is harmful to the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors and will lead to
deterioration of the emission control system and or failures.
  The use of E10 fuel with 10 % ethanol in Europe is safe for your vehicle. Damage to
your vehicle may occur when ethanol exceeds this recommendation.
  Never add fuel system additives, otherwise the emission control system could be
damaged. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer
for details.
Fuel Requirements (SKYACTIV-D 1.5)
The vehicle will operate effi ciently on diesel fuel with specifi cation EN590 or the
equivalent.
CAUTION
  Never use fuel other than specifi cation EN590 or the equivalent for your vehicle. Use
of petrol or paraffi n in diesel engines will result in engine damage.

 Never add fuel system additives. Otherwise, the emission control system could be
damaged. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer
for details.
NOTE
When refuelling, always add at least 10 L (2.6 US gal, 2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.

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.

When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
NOTE
 (Vehicles with type C/type D audio) If the fuel economy data is reset
using the fuel economy monitor,
or trip A is reset using the trip
meter when the function which
synchronizes the fuel economy
monitor and the trip meter is on, the
fuel economy data and trip A are
reset simultaneously.
 Refer to Fuel Economy Monitor on
page 4-88 .
  Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometres (miles).
  The trip record will be erased when:




 The power supply is interrupted
(blown fuse or the battery is
disconnected).
 


 The vehicle is driven over 9999.9
km (mile).
Trip Computer
The following information can be selected
by pressing the selector with the ignition
switched ON.

 Current fuel economy
If you have any problems with your trip
computer, consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer. Distance-to-empty mode
This mode displays the approximate
distance you can travel on the remaining
fuel based on the fuel economy.
The distance-to-empty will be calculated
and displayed every second.
NOTE
  Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a suffi cient
amount of remaining driving distance
before refuelling is required, refuel
as soon as possible if the fuel level
is very low or the low fuel warning
light illuminates.
  The display may not change unless
you add more than approximately 9 L
(2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.
  The distance-to-empty is the
approximate remaining distance the
vehicle can be driven until all the
graduation marks in the fuel gauge
indicating the remaining fuel supply
disappear.
  If there is no past fuel economy
information such as after fi rst
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the
battery leads are disconnected, the
actual distance-to empty/range may
differ from the amount indicated.

time for the indicator to stabilize. In
addition, the indicator may deviate
while driving on a slope or curve
since the fuel moves in the tank.
  The display indicating a quarter
or less remaining fuel has more
segments to show the remaining fuel
level in greater detail.
  The direction of the arrow ()
indicates that the fuel-fi ller fl ap is on
the left side of the vehicle.
(SKYACTIV-D 1.5)

or stalling occurs due to low fuel level
conditions, refuel the vehicle as soon as
possible and add at least 10 L (2.7 US gal,
