2021 MAZDA MODEL 6 light

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
The SCR system is designed to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the exhaust gas and purify
the exhaust gas by injecting it w ith Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF).
WARNING
Be careful not to allow the DEF to run out. If the DEF completely runs out, the SCR system will
not operate normally.
When the remaining DEF is low, a message is displayed on the multi-information display, and
the SCR warning light turns on/flashes.
Refer to Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System Indications on page 4-237.
In this case, consult an Authorized Mazda De aler. If DEF needs to be replenished, add DEF
following the specified procedure.
Refer to Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Replenishment on page 6-30.
NOTE
DEF needs to be replenished periodically according to the scheduled maintenance
information.
Normally, the vehicle can be driven about 12,000 km (7,500 miles) before the DEF needs
to be replenished. However, it may need to be replenished earlier depending on the
driving and environmental conditions (such as putting a high load on the engine while
driving or driving the vehicle at high altitudes).
The sound of the SCR system operating may be heard from the area under the vehicle,
however, this does not indicate a problem.
▼ Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR) System Indications
As the remaining amount of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) lowers, t he SCR system notifies
the driver using the fo llowing indications.
The vehicle speed may be restric ted for a while even if the warning light turns off after
replenishing the DEF. To cancel the vehicle speed restriction i mmediately, switch the
ignition OFF after the warning li ght turns off and then switch the ignition ON again.

NOTE
The displayable range varies depending on the vehicle and road conditions.
The displayable range is limited. Objects under the bumper or around the bumper ends
cannot be displayed.
The distance appearing in the displayed imag
e is different from the actual distance
because the rear view parking camera is equipped with a specific lens.
Some optionally installed vehicle accessories may be picked up by the camera. Do not
install any optional part s that can interfere with the camera view, such as illuminating
parts or parts made of reflective material.
It may be difficult to see the display under the following conditions, however, it does not
indicate a malfunction.
In darkened areas.
When the temperature around the lens is high/low.
When the camera is wet such as on a rainy day or during periods of high humidity.
When foreign material such as mud is stuck around the camera.
When the camera lens reflects sunlight or headlight beams.

Anything which generates ultrasound is near the vehicle, such as another vehicle's
horn, the engine sound of a motorcycle, the air brake sound of a large-sized vehicle, or
another vehicle's sensors.
The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or in road conditions causing water-splash.
A commercially-available fender pole or an antenna for a radio transmitter is installed
to the vehicle.
The vehicle is moving towards a tall or square curbstone.
An obstruction is too close to the sensor.
Obstructions under the bumper may not be detected. Obstructions that are lower than the
bumper or thin which may have been initially detected may no longer be detected as the
vehicle approaches more closely to the obstruction.
The following types of obstructions may not be detected:
Thin objects such as wire or rope
Things which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snow
Angular shaped objects
Very tall objects, and those which are wide at the top
Small, short objects
Always have the system inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer if any shock is applied
to the bumpers, even in a minor accident. If the sensors are deviated, they cannot detect
obstructions.
The system may have a malfunction if the beep does not operate or the indicator light
does not illuminate when the parking sensor switch is turned on. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
The system may have a malfunction if the beep sound which indicates a system
malfunction is heard and the i ndicator light flashes. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
The beeper which indicates a system malf unction may not be heard if the ambient
temperature is extremely cold, or mud, ice, or snow adheres to the sensor area. Remove
any foreign material from the sensor area.
