WARNING
Do not allow an occupant in the front passenger's seat to sit with a posture which
makes it diffi cult for the front passenger occupant classifi cation sensor to detect the
occupant correctly: Sitting in the front passenger's seat with a posture which makes it diffi cult for the front
passenger occupant classifi cation sensor to detect the occupant correctly is dangerous.
If the front passenger occupant classifi cation sensor cannot detect the occupant sitting
on the front passenger's seat correctly, the front passenger front and side air bags
and pretensioner system may not operate (non-deploy) or they may operate (deploy)
accidentally. The front passenger will not have the supplementary protection of the air
bags or the accidental operation (deployment) of the air bags could result in serious
injury or death.
Under the following conditions, the front passenger occupant classifi cation sensor
cannot detect a passenger sitting on the front passenger's seat correctly and the
deployment/non-deployment of the air bags cannot be controlled as indicated in the
front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light on/off condition chart. For example:
 A front passenger is seated as shown in the following fi gure:

 A rear passenger pushes up on the front passenger seat with their feet. Luggage or other items placed under the front passenger seat or between the front passenger seat and driver seat that push up the front passenger seat bottom.

Before Driving
Doors and Locks
NOTE
After about 3 seconds have elapsed since
the switch was pressed, a beep sound
is activated 2 times to indicate that the
liftgate fully-open position has changed.
Continuously press the switch for about
7 seconds to complete the reset.

Jam-safe equipment
While the power liftgate is opening/
closing electrically and the system detects
a person or an object in the liftgate's
path, the liftgate will move in the reverse
direction automatically and stops.
WARNING
Always check the area around the
power liftgate before opening/closing it: Not checking for occupants and
objects around the power liftgate
before opening/closing it is dangerous.
The jam-safe equipment is designed
to prevent jamming in the event an
obstruction is in the liftgate's path. The
system may not detect certain objects
obstructing the liftgate depending
on the way they are positioned and
their shape. However, if the jam-safe
function detects an obstruction and
moves the liftgate in the reverse
direction, an occupant in the liftgate's
path could be seriously injured.

CAUTION
Sensors are installed on both ends of
the power liftgate. Be careful not to
allow the sensors to be scratched or
damaged by sharp objects, otherwise
the liftgate may no longer open/close
automatically. In addition, if the sensor
is damaged while the liftgate is closing
automatically, the system will stop.

Sensor

NOTE
The jam-safe equipment does not activate
during easy closure operation when the
power liftgate is between the near-shut
position and fully closed position.

When the power liftgate is moving in the
open/close direction and an obstruction is
detected, the beep sound will be heard and
the liftgate moves in the reverse direction
and stops.

Fuel and Emission
Fuel and Engine Exhaust Precautions
Fuel Requirements
Vehicles with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors must use ONLY UNLEADED FUEL,
which will reduce exhaust emissions and keep spark plug fouling to a min\
imum.

This vehicle will perform best with fuel listed in the table.

Fuel Octane Rating * (Anti-knock index)
Regular unleaded fuel 87 [(R
M)/2 method] or above (91 RON or above)
* U.S. federal law requires that octane ratings be posted on gasoline stat\
ion pumps.


Fuel with a rating lower than 87 octane (91 RON) will negatively affect the emission control
system performance and could also cause engine knocking and serious engi\
ne damage.
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.
 This vehicle can only use oxygenated fuels containing no more than 10 % ethanol by volume. Damage to the vehicle may occur when ethanol exceeds this recommendation, or
if the gasoline contains any methanol. Stop using gasohol of any kind if your vehicle engine
is performing poorly.
 Never add fuel system additives, otherwise the emission control system could be damaged. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for details.

Gasoline blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or ether compounds are \
generally
referred to as oxygenated fuels. The common gasoline blend that can be used with your
vehicle is ethanol blended at no more than 10 %. Gasoline containing alc\
ohol, such as
ethanol or methanol, may be marketed under the name "Gasohol".

Vehicle damage and drivability problems resulting from the use of the fol\
lowing may not be
covered by the warranty.
   Gasohol containing more than 10 % ethanol.  Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.  Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
NOTE
  After refueling, 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- fi ller lid is on the
left side of the vehicle.

Dashboard Illumination
(Without auto-light control)
When the position lights are turned
on with the ignition switched ON, the
brightness of the dashboard illumination is
dimmed.
(With auto-light control)
When the position lights are turned
on with the ignition switched ON, the
brightness of the dashboard 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 dashboard
illumination does not dim.
NOTE
   (With auto-light control)  When the ignition is switched ON in the
early evening or at dusk, the dashboard
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 indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on.
 Refer to Headlights on page 4-51 .
The brightness of the instrument cluster
and dashboard illuminations can be
adjusted by rotating the knob.
  The brightness decreases by rotating the
knob to the left. A beep sound will be
heard when the knob has been rotated to
the maximum dim position.
   The brightness increases by rotating the
knob to the right.
