WARNING
Always take all children and pets with
you or leave a responsible person
with them:
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in
a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle
can become high enough to cause
brain damage or even death.
Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a
place where your children will not
fi
nd or play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed.
Keep all doors locked when driving:
Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle
are dangerous. Passengers can fall out
if a door is accidentally opened and
can more easily be thrown out in an
accident.
Always close all the windows and
moonroof, lock the doors, fuel-filler
lid, and liftgate and take the key with
you when leaving your vehicle
unattended:
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is
dangerous as children could lock
themselves in a hot vehicle, which
could result in death. Also, a vehicle
left unlocked becomes an easy target
for thieves and intruders.
After closing the doors and the
liftgate/trunk lid, always verify that
they are securely closed:
Doors and the liftgate/trunk lid not
securely closed are dangerous, if the
vehicle is driven with a door and the
liftgate/trunk lid not securely closed,
the door and the liftgate/trunk lid
could open unexpectedly resulting in
an accident.
Always con firm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door and the
liftgate/trunk lid:
Suddenly opening a door and the
liftgate/trunk lid is dangerous. A
passing vehicle or a pedestrian could
be hit and cause an accident.
CAUTION
 Always
confirm the conditions
around the vehicle before opening/
closing the doors and the liftgate/
trunk lid and use caution during
strong winds or when parked on an
incline. Not being aware of the
conditions around the vehicle is
dangerous because fingers could get
caught in the door and the liftgate/
trunk lid or a passing pedestrian
could be hit, resulting in an
unexpected accident or injury.

▼Emission Control System
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.
WARNING
Never park over or near anything
fl
ammable:
Parking over or near anything
fl ammable, such as dry grass, is
dangerous. Even with the engine
turned o ff, 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 o ff.
 Do not descend steep grades in gear
with the ignition switched o ff.
 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
quali fied technician.
 Do not push-start or pull-start this
vehicle.
NOTE
Under U.S. federal law, any
modi fication to the
original-equipment emission control
system before the first sale and
registration of a vehicle is subject to
penalties. In some states, such modi fication made on a used vehicle
is also subject to penalties.
While the engine is o ff, the sound of
a valve opening and closing can be
heard at the rear of the vehicle,
however this does not indicate an
abnormality. The vehicle has a
self-checking device and it operates
while the engine is o ff.
▼ Engine Exhaust (Carbon
monoxide)
WARNING
Do not drive your vehicle if you smell
exhaust gas inside the vehicle:
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This
gas contains carbon monoxide (CO),
which is colorless, odorless, and
poisonous. When inhaled, it can cause
loss of consciousness and death. If you
smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle,
keep all windows fully open and
contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer
immediately.
Before Driving

-20H_Edition1_new 2020-7-10 17:21:34

Do not run the engine when inside an
enclosed area:
Running the engine inside an enclosed
area, such as a garage, is dangerous.
Exhaust gas, which contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, could easily enter
the cabin. Loss of consciousness or
even death could occur.
Open the windows or adjust the
heating or cooling system to draw
fresh air when idling the engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the
vehicle is stopped with the windows
closed and the engine running for a
long time even in an open area,
exhaust gas, which contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, could enter the
cabin. Loss of consciousness or even
death could occur.
Clear snow from underneath and
around your vehicle, particularly the
tail pipe, before starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehicle is
stopped in deep snow is dangerous.
The exhaust pipe could be blocked by
the snow, allowing exhaust gas to
enter the cabin. Because exhaust gas
contains poisonous carbon monoxide,
it could cause loss of consciousness or
even death to occupants in the cabin.Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
▼Fuel-Filler Lid 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 refueling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and flames away
from the filler neck:
Fuel vapor 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 refueling after the
fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically:
Continuing to add fuel after the fuel
pump nozzle has shut o ff automatically
is dangerous because overfilling the
fuel tank may cause fuel over flow or
leakage. Fuel over flow and leakage
could damage the vehicle and if the
fuel ignites it could cause a fire and
explosion resulting in serious injury or
death.

▼Powe r Wi n d ow s
The windows can be opened/closed
by operating the power window
switches.
WARNING
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing a window:
Closing a power window is dangerous.
A person's hands, head, or even neck
could be caught by the window and
result in serious injury or even death.
This warning applies especially to
children.
Never allow children to play with
power window switches:
Power window switches that are not
locked with the power window lock
switch would allow children to operate
power windows unintentionally, which
could result in serious injury if a child's
hands, head or neck becomes caught
by the window.
Make sure nothing blocks the window
just before it reaches the fully closed
position or while fully holding up the
power window switch:
Blocking the power window just before
it reaches the fully closed position or
while fully holding up the power
window switch is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function may
not prevent the window from closing
all the way. If
fingers are caught,
serious injuries could occur.
Do not let a child put a hand or head
out of the window while driving the
vehicle:
If the person's hand or head hits
something outside the vehicle, or
sudden braking is applied, it could
result in serious injury or death.
NOTE
When driving with only 1 of the rear
windows open, your ears might
experience a resonating sound.
However, this does not indicate a
problem. The sound can be reduced
by slightly opening a front window or
by changing the size of the rear
window opening.
▼ Opening/Closing Windows
The window opens while the switch is
pressed and it closes while the switch
is pulled up with the ignition switched
ON. Do not open or close 3 or more
windows at the same time.
The front passenger's window and rear
windows can be opened/closed when
the power window lock switch on the
driver's door is in the unlocked
position. Keep this switch in the locked
position while children are in the
vehicle.
