CAUTION
 The e-SKYACTIV PHEV can be driven on electricity, but depending on the driving
conditions and mode, the vehicle will be driven using the engine and will need to
be refueled. Check the remaining amount of fuel and replenish the fuel if
necessary.
Refer to How to Use the Mazda intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) on page 5-96.
 Depending on the vehicle usage conditions, fuel may remain in the tank for a long
period of time and the quality of the fuel may change. Refuel at least 25 L of fuel
every 12 months (total amount of refueling for 12 months is at least 25 L), as this
may affect parts of the fuel system and the engine.
 If the fuel has not been replenished for a certain period of time and the quality of
the fuel in the fuel tank is expected to change, a message is displayed in the
instrument cluster when the hybrid system is started. When a certain amount of
fuel is consumed, the message displayed in the instrument cluster is no longer
displayed.
