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.

Ty re s
▼Ty re s
For reasons of proper performance,
safety, and better fuel economy, always
maintain recommended tyre
inflation
pressures and stay within the
recommended load limits and weight
distribution.
WARNING
Using
Different Ty re Ty p e s :
Driving your vehicle with different
types of tyres is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor braking;
leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the
temporary spare tyre, use only the
same type tyres (radial, bias-belted,
bias-type) on all four wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tyres:
Using any other tyre size than what is
specified for the vehicle (page 9-10)
is dangerous. It could seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clearance, tyre
clearance, and speedometer
calibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Use only tyres that
are the correct size specified for the
vehicle.
▼Tyre Inflation Pressure
WARNING
Always inflate the tyres to the correct
pressure:
Overinflation or underinflation of tyres
is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tyre failure could result in
a serious accident.
Refer to Tyres on page 9-10.
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.
Inspect all tyre pressures monthly when
the tyres are cold. Maintain
recommended pressures for the best
ride, handling, and minimum tyre
wear.
Refer to the specification charts (page
9-10).
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.
