Fuel Requirements
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)
Premium unleaded fuel 91 [(R+M)/2 method] or above (96 RON or above)
Regular unleaded fuel with an octane rati ng from 87 to 90 (91 to 95 RON) can be
used, but this will reduce performance slightly, such as reduced engine output, and
engine knocking.
Fuel with a rating lower than 87 octane (91 RON) will negatively affect the emission
control system performance and could al so cause engine knocking and serious
engine damage.
*1 U.S. federal law requires that octane ratings be posted on gas station pumps.
CAUTION
USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
Leaded fuel is harmful to the catalytic converter 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 cont ains any methanol. Stop using 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 comm on 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.

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.
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.
