Luggage Compartment
Luggage compartment cover
(Hatchback)*
WARNING
Do not place anything on top of the
cover:
Placing luggage or other cargo on top
of the luggage compartment cover is
dangerous. During sudden braking
or a collision, the cargo could become
a projectile that could hit and injure
someone. The vehicle has a light
weight luggage compartment cover to
keep the contents of your luggage area
out of sight; it will not retain heavy
objects that are not tied down in an
accident such as a rollover. Tie down
all heavy objects, whether luggage or
cargo, using the tie down hooks.
Make sure luggage and cargo are
secured before driving:
Not securing cargo while driving
is dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a
collision and cause injury.
CAUTION
Make sure the luggage compartment
cover is fi rmly secured. If it is not
fi rmly secured, it could unexpectedly
disengage resulting in injury.

Before Driving
Fuel and Emission
Fuel-Filler Flap and Cap
WARNING
When removing the fuel-fi ller 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-fi ller cap is removed too
quickly.
Before refuelling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and fl ames away
from the fi ller neck:
Fuel vapour is dangerous. It could be
ignited by sparks or fl ames causing
serious burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-
fi ller cap or not using a fuel-fi ller cap
may result in a fuel leak, which could
result in serious burns or death in an
accident.
Do not continue refuelling after
the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically:
Continuing to add fuel after the fuel
pump nozzle has shut off automatically
is dangerous because overfi lling the
fuel tank may cause fuel overfl ow or
leakage. Fuel overfl ow and leakage
could damage the vehicle and if the
fuel ignites it could cause a fi re and
explosion resulting in serious injury or
death.
CAUTION
Always use only a designated Mazda
fuel-fi ller cap or an approved equivalent,
available at an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer. The wrong cap can result in
a serious malfunction of the fuel and
emission control systems.
Fuel-Filler Flap
To open, pull the remote fuel-fi ller fl ap
release.
To close, press the fuel-fi ller fl ap until it
locks securely.
