Fuel and Emission
Fuel-Filler Lid 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 refueling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and fl ames away
from the fi ller neck:
Fuel vapor 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 refueling 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
(U.S.A. and Canada)
Always use only a genuine Mazda fuel-
fi ller cap or an approved equivalent,
available at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer. The wrong cap can result in
a serious malfunction of the fuel and
emission control systems. It may also
cause the check engine light in the
instrument cluster to illuminate.
Fuel-Filler Lid
To open, pull the remote fuel-fi ller lid
release.
To close, press the fuel-fi ller lid until it
locks securely.

CAUTION
(U.S.A. and Canada)
If the check fuel cap warning light
illuminates, the fuel-fi ller cap may not
be properly installed. If the warning
light illuminates, park your vehicle
safely off the right-of-way, remove the
fuel-fi ller cap and reinstall it correctly.
After the cap has been correctly
installed, the fuel cap warning light
may continue to illuminate until a
number of driving cycles have been
completed. A drive cycle consists of
starting the engine (after four or more
hours with the engine off ) and driving
the vehicle on city and highway roads.
Continuing to drive with the check
fuel cap warning light illuminated
could cause the check engine light to
illuminate as well.

Windows
Power Windows
The ignition must be switched ON for the
power windows to operate.
WARNING
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing a window:
Closing a power window is dangerous.
A person's hands, head, or even neck
could be caught by the window and
result in serious injury or even death.
This warning applies especially to
children.
Never allow children to play with power
window switches:
Power window switches that are not
locked with the power window lock
switch would allow children to operate
power windows unintentionally, which
could result in serious injury if a child's
hands, head or neck becomes caught
by the window.
CAUTION
To prevent burning out the fuse and
damaging the power window system,
do not open or close more than three
windows at once.
NOTE
A power window may no longer open/
close if you continue to press the switch
after fully opening/closing the power
window. If the power window does not
open/close, wait a moment and then
operate the switch again.
When driving with only one of the
rear windows open, your ears might
experience a resonating sound.
However, this does not indicate a
problem. The sound can be reduced by
slightly opening a front window or by
changing the size of the rear window
opening.
