Fuel and Engine Exhaust Precautions
▼Fuel Requirements
(SKYACTIV-G 2.0,
SKYACTIV-G 2.5,
SKYACTIV-X 2.0)
Vehicles with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors must use ONLY UNLEADED
FUEL, which will reduce exhaust emissions and keep spark plug fouling to a
minimum.
To achieve maximum engine performance, use the
specified fuel.

Fuel with a lower rating will negatively affect the emission control system
performance and could also cause engine knocking and serious engine damage.
CAUTION
¾USE 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.
¾The use of E10 fuel with 10 % ethanol in Europe is safe for your vehicle. Damage
to your vehicle may occur when ethanol exceeds this recommendation.
¾Never add fuel system additives other than a Mazda genuine product, 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.
xRefuelling using the same-type fuel is recommended. xAdd 16 L (4.2 US gal, 3.5 Imp gal) or more of fuel when refuelling. xDrive 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.
▼Deposit Cleaner
To get the best performance out of our
newest-technology SKYACTIV petrol
engines, cleaning of deposits adhering
to the fuel related system, such as fuel
injectors, may be required by using a
Mazda genuine deposit cleaner in the
specified countries. Refer to

Fuel-Filler Flap and Cap
▼Fuel-Filler Flap and Cap
WARNING
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
¾Always 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.
¾When using an automatic car wash
or a high water pressure car washer,
lock the driver's door. Otherwise,
the
fuel-filler
flap may open
unexpectedly and could be
damaged.
▼Refuelling
Before refuelling, close all the doors,
windows, and liftgate, and switch the
ignition OFF.
1. Using the following , unlock the
driver’s door.
xTransmitter (page 3-16) xTouch sensor (page 3-13) xDoor-lock switch (page 3-16) xAuto lock/unlock function (page
3-19)
NOTE
xWhen the driver's door is locked/
unlocked, the fuel flap is also
locked/unlocked at the same
time.
xThe time until the fuel flap is
locked after locking the driver's
door can be changed.
Refer to the Settings section in
the Mazda Connect Owner's
Manual.
xHowever, if you change the time
until the fuel flap is locked,
locking of the fuel flap using the
following functions is not
applicable.

Cargo stacked higher than the
seatbacks is dangerous. It can block
your view in the rearview mirror, which
might cause you to hit another car
when changing lanes.
Rearview mirror adjustment
Before driving, adjust the rearview
mirror to centre on the scene through
the rear window.
NOTE
For the manual antidazzle mirror,
perform the adjustment with the
antidazzle lever in the day position.
