2021 MAZDA MODEL 3 HATCHBACK fuel pump

Fuel and Engine Exhaust Precautions
▼Fuel Requirements
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
Octane Rating*1 (Anti-knock index)
Regular unleaded fuel 87 [(R+M)/2 method] or above (91 RON or above)
*1 U.S. federal law requires that octane ratings be posted on gas station pumps.
Fuel with a rating lower than 87 octane (91 RON) will negatively a ffect the emission
control system performance and could al so cause engine knocking and serious
engine damage.
CAUTION
 USE 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.
 This vehicle can only use oxygenated fuels containing no more than 10 % ethanol
by volume. Damage to the vehicle may occur when ethanol exceeds this
recommendation, or if the gasoline cont ains any methanol. Stop using gasohol of
any kind if your vehicle engine is performing poorly.
 Never add fuel system additives other than a Mazda genuine product, otherwise
the emission control system could be damaged. Consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer for details.
Gasoline blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or ether compounds are generally
referred to as oxygenated fuels. The comm on gasoline blend that can be used with
your vehicle is ethanol blended at no more than 10 %. Gasoline containing alcohol,
such as ethanol or methanol, may be marketed under the name "Gasohol".

Vehicle damage and drivability problems resulting from the use of the following may
not be covered by the warranty.
Gasohol containing more than 10 % ethanol.Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.

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.

Authorized Mazda Dealer as
soon as possible. If this occurs,
the engine can be force-started.
Press and hold the push button
start until the engine starts. Other
procedures necessary for starting
the engine, such as having the key
in the cabin, and depressing the
clutch pedal (manual
transmission) or the brake pedal
(automatic transmission) are
required.
When the engine is force-started,
the KEY warning indication (red)
remains displayed and the push
button start indicator light
(amber) remains flashing.
(Automatic transmission)
When the selector lever is in the
neutral (N) position, the push
button start indicator light (green)
does not turn on.
7. Press the push button start after the push button start indicator light
(green) turns on.
NOTE
After starting the engine, the push
button start indicator light
(amber) turns o ff and the ignition
switches to the ON position.
After pressing the push button
start and before the engine starts,
the operation sound of the fuel
pump motor from near the fuel
tank can be heard, however, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
8. After starting the engine, let it idle for about 10 seconds.
NOTE
Do not use high engine speeds
until reaching the operating
temperature.
Whether the engine is cold or
warm, it should be started
without the use of the
accelerator.
If the engine does not start the
first time, refer to Starting a
Flooded Engine under Emergency
Starting. If the engine still does
not start, have your vehicle
inspected by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer (page 7-20).
