Fuel and Engine Exhaust Precautions
▼Fuel Requirements (SKYACTIV-G 2.5, SKYACTIV-G 2.5T)
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 R ON) will negatively affect the emission control
system performance and could also cause engine knocking and serious engine damage.
CAUTION
USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
Leaded fuel is harmful to the catalytic co nverter 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 contains any methanol. Stop us ing 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 common 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.
▼Fuel Requirements (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
The vehicle will operate efficiently on diesel fuel with specification Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel
(ULSD, 15 ppm sulfur or less) fuel that me
ets the ASTM D975 standard or the equivalent.
Before Driving
Fuel and Emission

CX-5_8JM9-EA-20G_Edition6_old 2021-12-9 11:43:53

Fuel grade labels are visible on fuel-filler lid, therefore, verify the fuel grade before
refueling. If the fuel grade cannot be verified, ask the gas station attendant.
CAUTION
Never use fuel other than specification Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD, 15 ppm sulfur or less)
fuel that meets the ASTM D975 standard or the equivalent for your vehicle. Use of gasoline
or kerosene in diesel engines will resu lt in fuel system and engine damage.
 Never use diesel fuel with concentrations of methyl ester bio-diesel higher than 5 % (B5),
such as B20 or B100.
 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.
 If any type of incorrect fuel is accidently pu mped into the fuel tank, do not turn on the
engine and drive the vehicle. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for assistance.
Turning on the engine or driving the vehicle with the incorrect fuel could cause damage to
the fuel pump and fuel injectors.
 Do not mistake the refueling port for the DEF filler port. If fuel was added to the DEF filler
port by mistake, do not turn on the engine and drive the vehicle. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer for assistance.
Turning on the engine or driving the vehicle with fuel in the DEF filler port could cause
damage to the emission control system.
Diesel fuel only
DEF only
NOTE
Fuel for winter driving is available. Ask the gas station attendant for details.
When refueling, always add at least 10 L (2.6 US gal, 2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.

Low outside temperatures
When the outside temperature is low, diesel fuel (light oil) may freeze and clog the fuel
pipe, leading to problems such as the engine not starting. When driving to a cold region, add
winter grade diesel fuel as soon as possible.
WARNING
Never use engine starting assist additives:
Using engine starting assist additives is dangerous because they may cause a vehicle
explosion or a vehicle runaway condition, leading to serious injury or death.
▼ Emission Control System (SKYACTIV-G 2.5, SKYACTIV-G 2.5T)
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 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 off.
 Do not descend steep grades in ge ar 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.
▼Emission Control System (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
This vehicle is equipped with an emission control system (the catalytic converter and the
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system
*1 are part of this system) that enables the
vehicle to comply with existing exhaust emissions requirements.
*1 SCR system is designed to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the exhaust gas and purify the exhaust gas by injecting it with Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). For more details, refer
to the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System (page 4-261).

About the SCR system
WARNING
Be careful not to allow the DEF to run out. If the DEF completely runs out, the SCR system will
not operate normally:
If the vehicle runs out of DEF, the vehicle speed is restricted in steps to prevent contaminants
from being exhausted. When the remaining dist ance-to-empty reaches 0 km (0 miles) in the
final stage, the engine is forced
to idle. For replenishment of the DEF supply, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
Use a Mazda genuine product or a product conforming to ISO22241-1 for DEF. If
incompatible DEF is used, the SCR system may not operate normally. For the recommended
DEF, consult the nearest Authorized Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
When the remaining distance-to-empty is 640 km (400 miles) or shorter while the DEF
warning indication is displayed, the SCR warning light turns on and the vehicle speed is
restricted. In addition, if there is a problem with the SCR system/DEF and the remaining
distance-to-empty is 200 km (125 miles) or sh orter, the SCR warning light flashes and the
vehicle speed is restricted.
DEF needs to be replenished periodically according to the scheduled maintenance
information. If a warning message is displa yed in the multi-information display or the
SCR warning light flashes, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Normally, the vehicle can be driven about 12,000 km (7,500 miles) before the DEF needs
to be replenished.
▼ 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 contai
ns 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 al l windows fully open and contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer immediately.
