Door Locks
WA R N I N G
Always take all children and pets with you
or leave a responsible person with them:
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in a
parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle can
become high enough to cause brain
damage or even death.
Do not leave the key in your vehicle with
children and keep them in a place where
your children will not find or play with
them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the key is
dangerous. This could result in someone
being badly injured or even killed.
Always close all the windows and sunroof,
lock the doors and the liftgate and take the
key with you when leaving your vehicle
unattended:
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is dangerous
as children could lock themselves in a hot
vehicle, which could result in death. Also, a
vehicle left unlocked becomes an easy
target for thieves and intruders.
After closing the doors and the liftgate,
always verify that they are securely closed:
Doors and the liftgate not securely closed
are dangerous, if the vehicle is driven with
a door and the liftgate not securely closed,
the door and the liftgate could open
unexpectedly resulting in an accident.
Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door and the
liftgate:
Suddenly opening a door and the liftgate is
dangerous. A passing vehicle or a
pedestrian could be hit and cause an
accident.
CAUTION
 Always
confirm the conditions around
the vehicle before opening/closing the
doors and the liftgate and use caution
during strong winds or when parked on
an incline. Not being aware of the
conditions around the vehicle is
dangerous because fingers could get
caught in the door and the liftgate or a
passing pedestrian could be hit, resulting
in an unexpected accident or injury.
NOTE
•Always stop the engine and lock the
doors. In addition, to prevent theft of
valuables, do not leave them inside the
cabin.
•If the key is left in the following areas
and you leave the vehicle, the doors may
be locked depending on the radio wave
conditions even if th e key is left in the
vehicle.
•Around the instrument panel
•In the storage compartments such as
the glove compartment or the centre
console
•Next to a communication device such
as a mobile phone
•The vehicle lock-out prevention feature
prevents you from locking yourself out
of the vehicle.

Be careful when opening/closing the
liftgate during strong winds. If a strong
gust blows against the liftgate, it could
close suddenly resulting in injury.
 Fully open the liftgate and make sure
that it stays open. If the liftgate is only
opened partially, it could slam shut by
vibration or wind gusts resulting in
injury.
 When loading or unloading luggage in
the luggage compartment, turn off the
engine. Otherwise, you could get burned
by the heat of the exhaust gas.
 Be careful not to apply excessive force to
the damper stay on the liftgate such as
by putting your hand on the stay.
Otherwise, the damper stay may bend
and
affect the liftgate operation.
Damper stay

Do not modify or replace the liftgate
damper stay. Consult an expert repairer,

Fuel and Emission

Fuel with a lower rating will negatively affect the emission co ntrol system performance and
could also cause engine knocking and serious engine damage.

CAUTION
 USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
Leaded fuel is harmful to the catalytic co nverter 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 Euro pe 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.
NOTE
(Premium unleaded fuel (within E85))
To maintain good engine startability and performance, the following points must be
observed.
•Refuelling using the same-type fuel is recommended.
•Add 16 L (4.2 US gal, 3.5 Imp gal) or more of fuel when refuelling.
•Drive the vehicle 10 km (6.2 mile) or more just after refuelling to allow the vehicle's
engine control system to learn the ethanol concentration accurately.
▼ Fuel Requirements
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
The vehicle will operate efficiently on diesel fuel with specif ication EN590 or the
equivalent.
CAUTION
 Never use fuel other than specification EN590 or the equivalent for your vehicle. Use of
petrol or paraffin 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.

▼Emission Control System (SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5)
This vehicle is equipp
ed with an emission co ntrol system (the catalytic converter is part of
this system) that enables the ve hicle to comply with existing exhaust emissions
requirements.
WA R N I N G
Never park over or near anything flammable:
Parking over or near anything flammable, such as dry grass, is dangerous. Even with the
engine turned off, the exhaust system remains very hot after normal use and could ignite
anything flammable. A resulting fire could cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
Ignoring the following precautions could cause lead to accumulate on the catalyst inside the
converter or cause the converter to get very hot. Either condition will damage the converter
and cause poor performance.
 USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
 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 high idle for more than 2 minutes.
 Do not tamper with the emission control system. All inspections and adjustments must be
made by a qualified technician.
 Do not push-start or pull-start this vehicle.
