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.

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.

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre pressure telltale when one or more of your tyres is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check your tyres as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can
lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tyre maintenance, and it is the
driver's responsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tyre pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tyre pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement
or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tyres or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tyres and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
¾To avoid false readings, the system samples for a little while before indicating a problem. As
a result it will not instantaneously register a rapid tyre deflation or blow out.

Use only a Mazda-genuine tyre valve cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is dangerous as
the correct tyre air pressure cannot be
maintained if the tyre valve becomes
damaged. If the vehicle is driven under this
condition, the tyre air pressure will
decrease which could result in a serious
accident. Do not use any part for the tyre
valve cap that is not a Mazda-genuine
part.

NOTE
xAlways check tyre pressure when tyres
are cold.
xWarm tyres normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not release
air from warm tyres to adjust the
pressure.
xUnderinflation can cause reduced fuel
economy, uneven and accelerated tyre
wear, and poor sealing of the tyre bead,
which will deform the wheel and cause
separation of tyre from rim.
xOverinflation can produce a harsh ride,
uneven and accelerated tyre wear, and a
greater possibility of damage from road
hazards.
Keep your tyre pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs inflating,
have it inspected.

Rotate tyres periodically:
Irregular tyre wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining good
performance in handling and braking,
rotate the tyres every 10,000 km (6,250
miles), or sooner if irregular wear develops.

NOTE
(Without temporary spare tyre)
Because your vehicle is not equipped with
a spare tyre, you cannot do a tyre rotation
safely with the jack that comes with your
vehicle. Have an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer perform tyre rotation.
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tyre in rotation. Forward
