WARNING
Never allow a person to ride in the
luggage compartment/boot:
Allowing a person to ride in the
luggage compartment/boot is
dangerous. The person in the luggage
compartment/boot could be seriously
injured or killed during sudden braking
or a collision.
Do not drive with the liftgate/boot lid
open:
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle
is dangerous. An open liftgate/boot lid
in a moving vehicle will cause exhaust
gas to be drawn into the cabin. This
gas contains CO (carbon monoxide),
which is colourless, odourless, and
highly poisonous, and it can cause loss
of consciousness and death. Moreover,
an open liftgate/boot lid could cause
occupants to fall out in an accident.
Do not stack or leave loaded
luggage unsecured in the luggage
compartment:
Otherwise, the luggage may move
or collapse, resulting in injury or an
accident. In addition, do not load
luggage higher than the seatbacks. It
may affect the side or rear fi eld of view.

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.

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.

Security System
Modifi cation and Add-On
Equipment
Mazda cannot guarantee the immobilizer
and the theft-deterrent systems' operation
if the system has been modifi ed or if any
add-on equipment has been installed.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the vehicle, do not
modify the system or install any add-on
equipment to the immobilizer and the
theft-deterrent systems or the vehicle.
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system allows the
engine to start only with a key the system
recognises.
If someone attempts to start the engine
with an unrecognised key, the engine
will not start, thereby helping to prevent
vehicle theft.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
CAUTION
Changes or modifi cations not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
To avoid damage to the key, do not:
Drop the key.
Get the key wet.
Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic fi eld.
Expose the key to high
temperatures on places such as the
instrument panel or bonnet, under
direct sunlight.
If the engine does not start with the
correct key, and the security indicator
light keeps illuminating or fl ashing,
the system may have a malfunction.
Consult an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.

Before Driving
Security System
NOTE
The keys carry a unique electronic
code. For this reason, and to assure
your safety, obtaining a replacement
key requires some waiting time.
They are only available through an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Always keep a spare key in case one
is lost. If a key is lost, consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon
as possible.
If you lose a key, an Authorised
Mazda Repairer will reset the
electronic codes of your remaining
keys and immobilizer system.
Bring all the remaining keys to an
Authorised Mazda Repairer to reset.
Starting the vehicle with a key that
has not been reset is not possible.
Operation
NOTE
The engine may not start and security
indicator light may illuminate or
fl ash if the key is placed in an area
where it is diffi cult for the system
to detect the signal, such as on the
instrument panel or in the glove
compartment. Move the key to a
location within the signal range,
switch the ignition off, and then
restart the engine.
Signals from a TV or radio station,
or from a transceiver or mobile
telephone could interfere with your
immobilizer system. If you are using
the proper key and the engine fails
to start, check the security indicator
light.
Arming
The system is armed when the ignition is
switched from ON to off.
The security indicator light in the
instrument cluster fl ashes every 2 seconds
until the system is disarmed.
Disarming
The system is disarmed when the
ignition is switched ON with the correct
programmed key. The security indicator
light illuminates for about 3 seconds and
then turns off. If the engine does not start
with the correct key, and the security
indicator light remains illuminated or
fl ashing, try the following:
Make sure the key is within the
operational range for signal transmission.
Switch the ignition off, and then restart
the engine. If the engine does not start
after 3 or more tries, contact an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
NOTE
If the security indicator light fl ashes
continuously while you are driving,
do not shut off the engine. Go to an
Authorised Mazda Repairer and have
it checked. If the engine is shut off
while the indicator light is fl ashing,
you will not be able to restart it.
Because the electronic codes are
reset when the immobilizer system
is repaired, the keys are needed.
Make sure to bring all the keys to an
Authorised Mazda Repairer so that
they can be programmed.

Theft-Deterrent System
(With the Intrusion
Sensor)
*
If the theft deterrent system detects an
inappropriate entry into the vehicle or the
intrusion sensor detects movement in the
vehicle which could result in the vehicle or
its contents being stolen, the alarm alerts
the surrounding area of an abnormality by
sounding the siren and fl ashing the hazard
warning lights.
The system will not function unless it's
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, follow the arming procedure
correctly.
Intrusion sensor
The intrusion sensor uses ultrasonic waves
to detect movement inside the vehicle and
to raise an alert of an intrusion into the
vehicle.
The intrusion sensor detects certain kinds
of movement inside the vehicle, however,
it may also respond to phenomenon
outside the vehicle such as vibrations, loud
noise, wind, and air currents.
CAUTION
In order for the intrusion sensor to
operate appropriately, be aware of the
following:
Do not hang clothing or objects from
a head restraint or a coat hook.
Return the extension sunvisors to
their original positions.
Do not blind the intrusion sensor by
covering it or placing objects over it.
Do not allow the intrusion sensor to
get soiled or wipe it with a liquid.
Do not shock or cause an impact to
the intrusion sensor or the intrusion
sensor bezel.
Do not install seats or seat covers
that are not Mazda genuine products.
To prevent obstruction of intrusion
sensor, do not place objects or cargo
near the intrusion sensor that are
higher than the head restraints.
