▼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.

is within operational range.
Each time the push button start is
pressed, the ignition switches in the
order of
off, ACC, and ON. Pressing
the push button start again from ON
switches the ignition off.
1. Indicator light

Do not leave the ignition switched
ON while the engine is not running.
Doing so could result in the battery
going dead. If the ignition is left in
ACC (For automatic transmission,
the selector lever is in the P position,
and the ignition is in ACC), the
ignition switches off automatically
after about 25 minutes.
Off
The power supply to electrical devices
turns off and the indicator light
(amber) also turns off.
WARNING

the vehicle for even a short period, it is
important to switch the ignition off, as
leaving it in another position will
disable some of the vehicle's security
systems and run the battery down.

Auto-light control*
When the headlight switch is in a position other than and the ignition is
switched ON, the light sensor senses th e surrounding lightness or darkness and
automatically turns the headlights and other exterior lights on or off.
CAUTION
Do not shade the light sensor by adhering a sticker or a label on the windshield.
Otherwise the light sensor will not operate correctly.
The light sensor also works as a rain sensor for the auto-wiper control. Keep hands
and scrapers clear of the windshield when the wiper lever is in the AUTO position
and the ignition is switched ON as fingers could be pinched or the wipers and
wiper blades could be damaged when the wipers activate automatically. If you are
going to clean the windshield, be sure the wipers are turned off completely when
it is particularly tempting to leave the en gine running. This is particularly important
when clearing ice and snow.
NOTE
The headlights and other exterior lights may not turn off immediately even if the
surrounding area becomes well-lit because the light sensor determines that it is
night time if the surrounding area is cont inuously dark for several minutes such as
inside long tunnels, traffic jams inside tunnels, or in indoor parking lots.
If the headlight switch and the windshie ld wiper switch are in AUTO, and the
wipers are operated at low or high speed by the auto wiper control for several
seconds, bad weather conditions are determined and the headlights may be
turned on.
The sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.
