Jam-safe equipment
While the power liftgate is opening/
closing electrically and the system
detects a person or an object in the
liftgate's path, the liftgate will move in
the reverse direction automatically and
stops.
WARNING
Always check the area around the
power liftgate before opening/closing
it:
Not checking fo r occupants and
objects around the power liftgate
before opening/closing it is
dangerous. The jam-safe equipment is
designed to prevent jamming in the
event an obstruction is in the liftgate's
path. The system may not detect
certain objects obstructing the liftgate
depending on the way they are
positioned and their shape. However,
if the jam-safe function detects an
obstruction and moves the liftgate in
the reverse direction, an occupant in
the liftgate's path could be seriously
injured.
CAUTION
Sensors are installed on both ends of
the power liftgate. Be careful not to
allow the sensors to be scratched or
damaged by sharp objects, otherwise
the liftgate may no longer open/close
automatically. In addition, if the sensor
is damaged while the liftgate is closing
automatically, the system will stop.

▼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
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 dama ge 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.
NOTE
Under U.S. federal law, any
modification to the
original-equipment emission control
system before the first sale and
registration of a vehicle is subject to
penalties. In some states, such modification made on a used vehicle
is also subject to penalties.
While the engine is off, 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 off.
▼ 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.
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 off automatically
is dangerous because overfilling the
fuel tank may cause fuel overflow or
leakage. Fuel overflow and leakage
could damage the vehicle and if the
fuel ignites it could cause a fire and
explosion resulting in serious injury or
death.

fuel-filler lid.
If the fuel-filler lid is closed after
locking the doors, the fuel-filler lid
cannot be locked.
CAUTION
(U.S.A. and Canada)
If the check fuel cap warning light
illuminates, the fuel-filler cap may not
be properly installed. If the warning
light illuminates, park your vehicle
safely off the right-of-way, remove the
fuel-filler cap and reinstall it correctly.
After the cap has been correctly
installed, the fuel cap warning light
may continue to illuminate until a
number of driving cycles have been
completed. A drive cycle consists of
starting the engine (after four or more
hours with the engine off) and driving
the vehicle on city and highway roads.
Continuing to drive with the check fuel
cap warning light illuminated could
cause the check engine light to
illuminate as well.
