MAZDA MODEL 6 2018 Owner's Manual (in English)

If you must run the engine while working under the bonnet, make certain that you remove all
jewellery (especially rings, bracelets, watches, and necklaces) and all neckties, scarves, and
similar loose clothing before getting near the engine or cooling fan which may turn on
unexpectedly:
Working under the bonnet with the engine running is dangerous. It becomes even more
dangerous when you wear jewellery, loose clothing or have long hair or a long beard.
Either can become entangled in moving parts and result in injury.
Pull over to a safe location, then switch the ignition
off and make sure the fan is not
running before attempting to work near the cooling fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. The fan could continue running
indefinitely even if the engine has stopped and the engine compartment temperature is high.
You could be hit by the fan and seriously injured.
Do not leave items in the engine compartment:
After you have finished checking or doing servicing in the engine compartment, do not forget
and leave items such as tools or rags in the engine compartment.
Tools or other items left in the engine compartment could cause engine damage or a fire
leading to an unexpected accident.

Always check that the bonnet is closed and
securely locked:
A bonnet that is not closed and securely
locked is dangerous as it could
fly open
while the vehicle is moving and block the
driver's vision which could result in a
serious accident.

(With active bonnet)
Do not pull the bonnet's release handle
after the active bonnet has activated:
Pulling the release handle while the active
bonnet is operating is dangerous as it will
raise the bonnet further and obstruct
vision. In addition, the bonnet cannot be
lowered manually, therefore do not
attempt to forcefully push the bonnet back
down. Otherwise, it could deform the
bonnet or cause injury. If the active bonnet
has activated, always consult an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.

¾(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
SKYACTIV-D 2.2 uses specified oil. Please confirm the specification in owner's manual. If
engine oil other than the
specified oil is used, the Diesel Particulate Filter
effective period of
use will be shortened or the Diesel Particulate Filter may be damaged.
NOTE
(SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5, and SKYACTIV-G 2.5T)
xIt is normal for all engines to consume engine oil under normal driving conditions.
Engine oil consumption may be as high as 0.8 L/1,000 km (1 L/800 miles). This may be as
a result of evaporation, internal ventilation or burning of the lubricating oil in the
working engine. Oil consumption may be higher when the engine is new due to the
running-in process. Oil consumption is also dependant on engine speed and engine load.
Under extreme driving conditions, oil consumption may be higher.
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
xWhenever the engine oil is replaced, the vehicles engine control unit needs to be reset as
soon as possible. Otherwise the wrench indicator light or engine oil warning light may
turn on. To reset the engine control unit, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer or refer to the vehicle engine control unit reset procedure on
page 6-28.
xInspect the engine oil level periodically. When inspecting the engine oil, if the engine oil
level is exceeds the “X” mark on the dipstick, replace the engine oil. This should be done
by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer. When replacing the
engine oil, inspect the oil level using the oil dipstick and refill so that the engine oil level
is within the range between MIN and MAX as shown in the figure.
