 Do not drive your Mazda with any sign of engine malfunction.
 Do not coast with the ignition switched
off.
 Do not descend steep grades in gear with the ignition switched off.
 Do not operate the engine at hi gh idle for more than 2 minutes.

▼ Engine Exhaust (Carbon monoxide)
WA R N I N G
Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle:
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This gas contains carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colourless, odourless, and poisonous. When i
nhaled, it can cause loss of consciousness and
death. If you smell exhaust gas inside the vehi cle, keep all windows fully open and contact an
expert repairer, we recommend an Au thorised Mazda Repairer immediately.
Do not run the engine when inside an enclosed area:
Running the engine inside an enclosed area, such as a garage, is dangerous. Exhaust gas,
which contains poisonous carbon monoxide , could easily enter the cabin. Loss of
consciousness or even death could occur.
Open the windows or adjust the heating or cooling system to draw fresh air when idling the
engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the vehicle is stopped with the windows closed and the
engine running for a long time even in an op en area, exhaust gas, which contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, could enter the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occur.
Clear snow from underneath and around your vehicle, particularly the tail pipe, before
starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehi cle is stopped in deep snow is dangerous. The exhaust pipe
could be blocked by the snow, allowing exhaust gas to enter the cabin. Because exhaust gas
contains poisonous carbon monoxide, it could cause loss of consciousness or even death to
occupants in the cabin.

Fuel-Filler Flap and Cap
WA R N I N G
When removing the fuel-filler 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-filler cap is
removed too quickly.
Before refuelling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and flames away from
the filler neck:
Fuel vapour is dangerous. It could be
ignited by sparks or flames causing serious
burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-filler
cap or not using a fuel-filler 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 overfilling the fuel tank
may cause fuel overflow or leakage. Fuel
overflow and leakage could damage the
vehicle and if the fuel ignites it could cause
a fire and explosion resulting in serious
injury or death.
CAUTION
Always use only a designated Mazda
fuel-filler 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.
▼ Refuelling
Before refuelling, close all the doors,
windows, and the liftg
ate, and switch the
ignition OFF.

Mirrors
Before driving, adjust the inside and
outside mirrors.
▼Outside Mirrors
WA R N I N G
Be sure to look over your shoulder before
changing lanes:
Changing lanes without taking into
account the actual distance of the vehicle
in the convex mirror is dangerous. You
could have a serious accident. What you
see in the convex mirror is closer than it
appears.
NOTE
(Driver's Side Wide Angle Mirror*)
•The wide angle mirror has two
curvatures on its surface separated by a
region line into outer and inner regions.
The inner region is a standard convex
mirror whereas the outer region allows
for a wider range of vi
sibility within the
same sweep. This combination allows
for better assurance when making lane
changes.

Region line
•The perceived distance of objects in the
outer and inner regions of the wide
angle mirror is different. Objects
appearing in the outer region are
actually further away than they are in
the inner region.
Power mirror adjustment
The ignition must be switched to ACC or
ON position.

To adjust:
1. Rotate the mirror switch to the left
or
right
to choose the left or right side
mirror.
2. Press the mirro r switch in the
appropriate direction.

Centre position
