Positioning the Shoulder Portion of the Seat Belt:
Improper positioning of the shoulder portion of the seat belt is dangerous. Always make sure
the shoulder portion of the seat belt is positioned across your shoulder and near your neck,
but never under your arm, on your neck, or on your upper arm.
Positioning the Lap Portion of the Seat Belt:
The lap portion of the seat belt worn too high is dangerous. In a collision, this would
concentrate the impact force directly on the abdominal area, causing serious injury. Wear the
lap portion of the belt snugly and as low as possible.
Instructions for Use of Seat Belt Assemblies:
Seatbelts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap
section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.
Seatbelts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the
protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection
afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and
chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap
and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or
damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if
damage to the assembly is not obvious.
Belts should not be worn with straps twisted.
Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a
child being carried on the occupant's lap.
No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from
being adjusted to remove slack.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
Belt retraction may become difficult if the belts and rings are soiled, so try to keep them clean.
For more details about cleaning the seat belts, refer to "Seat Belt Maintenance" (page 6-70).

NOTE
xInfusing the deposit cleaner when the fuel tank is full provides the appropriate
concentration of cleaner, and by the fuel including the cleaner contacting the deposits for
a long period of time, the best cleaning results can be obtained.
xIf the deposit cleaner is infused when the fuel tank is not full, get a full tank of fuel as soon
as possible.
xRefer to the scheduled maintenance (Page 6-3) for when to add the deposit cleaner.

¾Never 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.
¾Never 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.

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.

Be careful not to allow the AdBlue® fluid to run out. If the AdBlue® fluid completely runs out,
the SCR system will not operate normally:
If the vehicle runs out of AdBlue
®, the vehicle speed is restricted in steps to prevent
contaminants from being exhausted. When the remaining distance-to-empty reaches 0 km (0
miles) in the
final stage, the engine cannot restart. For replenishment of the AdBlue
® supply,
consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
Use a Mazda genuine product or a product conforming to ISO22241-1 for AdBlue®. If
incompatible AdBlue
® is used, the SCR system may not operate normally. In addition, the use
of incompatible AdBlue
® may be subject to fines and penalties. For the recommended AdBlue®,
consult the nearest expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
NOTE
xWhen the remaining distance-to-empty is 1400 km (869.9 miles) or shorter while the
AdBlue
® warning indication is displayed, the SCR warning light turns on and the vehicle
speed is restricted. In addition, if there is a problem with the SCR system/AdBlue
® and the
remaining distance-to-empty is 700 km (435 miles) or shorter, the SCR warning light
flashes and the vehicle speed is restricted.
xAdBlue® needs to be replenished periodically according to the scheduled maintenance
information. If a warning message is displayed in the multi-information display or the
SCR warning light flashes, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
xNormally, the vehicle can be driven about 12,000 km (7,500 miles) before AdBlue®needs
to be replenished.

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.

Be careful not to allow the AdBlue® fluid to run out. If the AdBlue® fluid completely runs out, the
SCR system will not operate normally.
When the remaining AdBlue
® is low, a message is displayed on the multi-information display,
and the SCR warning light turns on/flashes.
Refer to Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System Indications on page 4-291.
In this case, consult an Authorised Mazda Dealer. If AdBlue
® needs to be replenished, add
AdBlue
® following the specified procedure.
Refer to AdBlue
® Replenishment on page 6-34.
NOTE
xAdBlue® needs to be replenished periodically according to the scheduled maintenance
information.
xNormally, the vehicle can be driven about 12,000 km (7,500 miles) before AdBlue® needs
to be replenished. However, it may be need to be replenished earlier depending on the
driving and environmental conditions (such as putting a high load on the engine while
driving or driving the vehicle at high altitudes).
xThe sound of the SCR system operating may be heard from the area under the vehicle,
however, this does not indicate a problem.
