2017 MAZDA MODEL CX-5 refuelling

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.

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.
1. To open the fuel-filler flap, pull the remote fuel-filler flap release.

▼Fuel Gauge (Without
Multi-information Display)
The fuel gauge shows approximately how
much fuel is remaining in the tank when
the ignition is
switched ON. We
recommend keeping the tank over 1/4 full.

If the low fuel warnin g light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.
Refer to Taking Action on page 7-53 .
NOTE
•After refuelling, it may require some
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-filler flap is on the left side
of the vehicle.
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
If inconsistency in e ngine performance 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,
2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
▼ Instrument Panel Illumination
(Without auto-light control)
When the position lights are turned on
with the ignition switched ON, the
brightness of the instrument panel
illumination is dimmed.
(With auto-light control)
When the position lights are turned on
with the ignition switched ON, the
brightness of the instrument panel
illumination is dimmed. However, when
the light sensor detects that the
surrounding area is bright such as when
the position lights are turned on in the
daytime, the instrument panel illumination
does not dim.
NOTE
•(With auto-light control)
When the ignition is switched ON in the
early evening or at dusk, the instrument
panel illumination is dimmed for several
seconds until the light sensor detects the
brightness of the surrounding area,
however, the dimmer may cancel after
the brightness is detected.
•When the position lights are turned on,
the position lights i
ndicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on.

NOTE
•Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a sufficient 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 first
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is dele ted when the battery
leads are disconnected, the actual
distance-to empty/range may differ from
the amount indicated.
Average fuel economy mode
This mode displays the average fuel
economy by calculating the total fuel
consumption and the total travelled
distance since purch asing the vehicle,
re-connecting the battery after
disconnection, or resetting the data. The
average fuel economy is calculated and
displayed every minute.

After pressing the INFO switch, - - -
L/100 km (- - - mpg) or - - - km/L will be
displayed for about 1 minute before the
fuel economy is recalculated and
displayed.
Current fuel economy mode

CAUTION
If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light (red) turns on, there is a
possibility of overheating. Park the vehicle
in a safe place immediately and take
appropriate measures. If the vehicle
continues to be driven, it could cause
damage to the engine.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-37.
NOTE
•The temperature unit (Centigrade/
Fahrenheit) of the engine coolant gauge
display changes in conjunction with the

temperature display.
Refer to Personalisation Features on
page 9-12.
•During normal driving, the engine
coolant temperature stabilizes at 100 °C
(210 °F) or less, and the gauge indicates
a range lower than 100 °C (210 °F).

indication flashes and a beep sound is
heard to warn the driv er of the possibility
of icy roads.
If the outside temperature is lower than
about 4 °C (39 °F), the outside
temperature display and the
mark
flashes for about ten seconds and a beep
sound is heard once.
