Do not add any
fluid other than DEF to
the urea tank. If any fluid other than DEF
is added, it could cause a problem with
the SCR system or damage it. Do not
switch the ignition ON, and contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 When adding DEF, use a bottle with an
anti-spill nozzle. If a bottle without an
anti-spill nozzle or a commercial
dispenser at a gasoline station is used, it
could cause leakage or the DEF to spray
out.
 Do not overfill the DEF. If the DEF is
overfilled, it may freeze during cold
temperatures (–11°C (12 °F) or less).
When urea freezes, it expands and could
cause tank breakage. Always use a bottle
with an auto-stop function and stop
adding fluid when the auto-stop
function operates.
NOTE
When adding DEF during low
temperatures (–11 °C (12 °F) or less),
move the vehicle to a warm location. If
the DEF starts to freeze, it may not flow
correctly and the correct amount may
not have been added. In addition, if the
fluid freezes in the urea tank, you may
not be able to tell if the correct amount
of fluid was added.
Replenishment of DEF by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer is recommended. If you
want to replenish the DEF yourself,
follow the replenishment procedure
below.

Replenishment Procedure
1. Check the remaining amount of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) on the
multi-information display.
(Instrument cluster (Type A))
Refer to Remaining Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) and Maximum Driving
Distance Display (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
on page 4-21.
(Instrument cluster (Type B))
Refer to Remaining Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) and Maximum Driving
Distance Display (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
on page 4-37.
3.8 L (1.0 US gal, 0.84 Imp gal) of
DEF or more needs to be added.
NOTE
The replenishment amount (reference)
according to the DEF level (%)
indication is as follows:
Percentage (%) indica-tion for remaining amount Reference replenish-
ment amount

4. Open the fuel-filler lid.Refer to Refueling on page 3-33.
5. Open the cap of the DEF filler port.

Open Close
6. Remove the cap of a bottle containing
DEF, insert the bot tle into the DEF
filler port, and screw it in lightly until
it stops.

CAUTION
If too much DEF is added, the SCR
system might display a warning.
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer if
a warning is displayed. If the warning
remains displayed, the urea tank may
have a problem or it may be damaged.
NOTE
If excessive force is applied when
pressing in the bottom of the bottle,
the bottle or the DEF filler port may
be damaged.
When the urea tank is full, stop
adding DEF because the flow from
the bottle slows down by the bottle's
auto-stop function. If you continue
adding DEF, the urea tank will
overfill.
7. Press in the bottom of the bottle straight and add DEF.

Push to add
Release to stop
8. Remove the bottle in the reverse order
of the insertion. At this time, be careful
of DEF dripping from the bottle.

until you hear two or more click
sounds.

The DEF level (%) indication on the
multi-information display shows an
increase.
(Instrument cluster (Type A))
Refer to Remaining Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) and Maximum Driving
Distance Display (SKYACTIV-D
2.2) on page 4-21.

12. Switch the ignition OFF.
If the above indications remain
unchanged even after one minute has
passed with the vehicle stopped:
If you have already added 3.8 L (1.0 US
gal, 0.84 Imp gal) of DEF according to
the DEF level (%) indication on the
multi-information display, prepare an
additional 3.8 L (1.0 US gal, 0.84 Imp
gal) of DEF or more and add it
following the replenishment procedure.
If you added the correct amount of DEF,
the DEF level (%) indication on the
multi-information display will show an
increase while the vehicle is being
driven. If the DEF level (%) shows no
increase or the speed restriction does not
cancel even while driving the vehicle,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood hinges and locks, should be
lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.

Make sure the hood's secondary latch
keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.
