▼Fuel Requirements (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
The vehicle will operate efficiently on diesel fuel with specification Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel
(ULSD, 15 ppm sulfur or less) fuel that meets the ASTM D975 standard or the equivalent.
Fuel grade labels are visible on fuel-filler lid, therefore, verify the fuel grade before
refueling. If the fuel grade cannot be verified, ask the gas station attendant.
CAUTION
Never use fuel other than specification Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD, 15 ppm sulfur or less)
fuel that meets the ASTM D975 standard or the equivalent for your vehicle. Use of gasoline
or kerosene in diesel engines will resu lt in fuel system and engine damage.
Never use diesel fuel with concentrations of methyl ester bio-diesel higher than 5 % (B5),
such as B20 or B100.
Never add fuel system additives. Otherwise, the emission control system could be damaged.
If any type of incorrect fuel is accidently pu mped into the fuel tank, do not turn on the
engine and drive the vehicle, and co nsult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Turning on the engine or driving the vehicle with the incorrect fuel could cause damage to
the fuel pump and fuel injectors.
Do not mistake the refueling port for the DEF filler port. If fuel was added to the DEF filler
port by mistake, do not turn on the engine and drive the vehicle, and consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Turning on the engine or driving the vehicle with fuel in the DEF filler port could cause
damage to the emission control system.
Diesel fuel only
DEF only
NOTE
Fuel for winter driving is available. Ask the gas station attendant for details.

Low outside temperatures
When the outside temperature is low, diesel fuel (light oil) may freeze and clog the fuel
pipe, leading to problems such as the engine not starting. When driving to a cold region, add
winter grade diesel fuel as soon as possible.
WA R N I N G
Never use engine starting assist additives:
Using engine starting assist additives is dangerous because they may cause a vehicle
explosion or a vehicle runaway condition, leading to serious injury or death.
▼ Emission Control System (SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5, SKYACTIV-G
2.5T)
This vehicle is equipped with an emission control system (the catalytic converter is part of
this system) that enables the vehicle to comply with existing exhaust emissions
requirements.
WA R N I N G
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.
CAUTION
Ignoring the following precautions could cause lead to accumulate on the catalyst inside the
converter or cause the converter to get very hot. Either condition will damage the converter
and cause poor performance.
USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
Do not drive your Mazda with any sign of engine malfunction.
Do not coast with the ignition switched off.
Do not descend steep grades in gear with the ignition switched off.
Do not operate the engine at high idle for more than 2 minutes.
Do not tamper with the emission control system. All inspections and adjustments must be
made by a qualified technician.
Do not push-start or pull-start this vehicle.
