▼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.
WA R N I N G
Never park over or near anything
flammable:
Parking over or near anything flammable,
such as dry grass, is dangerous. Even with
the engine turned off, the exhaust system
remains very hot after normal use and
could ignite anything flammable. A
resulting fire could cause serious injury or
death.
CAUTION
Ignoring the following precautions could
cause lead to accumulate on the catalyst
inside the converter or cause the converter
to get very hot. Either condition will
damage the converter and cause poor
performance.
 USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
 Do not drive your Mazda with any sign of
engine malfunction.
 Do not coast with the ignition switched
off.
 Do not descend steep grades in gear with
the ignition switched off.
 Do not operate the engine at high idle for
more than 2 minutes.
 Do not tamper with the emission control
system. All inspections and adjustments
must be made by a qualified technician.
Do not push-start or pull-start this
vehicle.
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.
▼ Engine Exhaust (Carbon monoxide)
WA R N I N G
Do not drive your vehicle if you smell
exhaust gas inside the vehicle:
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This gas
contains carbon mono
xide (CO), which is
colorless, odorless, and poisonous. When
inhaled, it can cause loss of consciousness
and death. If you smell exhaust gas inside
the vehicle, keep all windows fully open
and contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer
immediately.
Before Driving
Fuel and Emission
3-26
Mazda3_8HZ1-EA-19G_Edition1_old 2019-5-17 13:49:03

Do not run the engine when inside an
enclosed area:
Running the engine inside an enclosed
area, such as a garage, is dangerous.
Exhaust gas, which contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, could easily enter the
cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death
could occur.
Open the windows or adjust the heating or
cooling system to draw fresh air when
idling the engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the vehicle
is stopped with the windows closed and the
engine running for a long time even in an
open area, exhaust gas, which contains
poisonous carbon monoxide, could enter
the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even
death could occur.
Clear snow from underneath and around
your vehicle, particularly the tail pipe,
before starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehicle is
stopped in deep snow is dangerous. The
exhaust pipe could be blocked by the snow,
allowing exhaust gas to enter the cabin.
Because exhaust gas contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, it could cause loss of
consciousness or even death to occupants
in the cabin.Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
▼Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
WA R N I N G
When removing the fuel-filler 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-filler cap is
removed too quickly.
Before refueling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and flames away from
the filler neck:
Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be ignited
by sparks or flames causing serious burns
and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-filler
cap or not using a fuel-filler cap may result
in a fuel leak, which could result in serious
burns or death in an accident.
Do not continue refueling after the fuel
pump nozzle shuts off automatically:
Continuing to add fuel after the fuel pump
nozzle has shut off automatically is
dangerous because overfilling the fuel tank
may cause fuel overflow or leakage. Fuel
overflow and leakage could damage the
vehicle and if the fuel ignites it could cause
a fire and explosion resulting in serious
injury or death.

Fuel and Emission

Mazda3_8HZ1-EA-19G_Edition1_old 2019-5-17 13:49:03

CAUTION
Always use only a genuine Mazda
fuel-filler cap or an approved equivalent,
available at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer. The wrong cap can result in a
serious malfunction of the fuel and
emission control systems.
(U.S.A. and Canada)
It may also cause the check engine light
in the instrument cluster to illuminate.
 When using an automatic car wash or a
high water pressure car wash, lock the
driver's door. Otherwise, the fuel-filler lid
may open unexpectedly and could be
damaged.
▼ Refueling

windows, and liftgate/trunk lid, and switch
the ignition OFF.

▼Rearview Mirror
WA R N I N G
Do not stack cargo or objects higher than
the seatbacks:
Cargo stacked higher than the seatbacks is
dangerous. It can block your view in the
rearview mirror, which might cause you to
hit another car when changing lanes.

Power Windows
▼Power Windows
The windows can be opened/closed by
operating the power window switches.
WA R N I N G
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing a window:
Closing a power window is dangerous. A
person's hands, head, or even neck could
be caught by the window and result in
serious injury or even death. This warning
applies especially to children.
Never allow children to play with power
window switches:
Power window switches that are not locked
with the power window lock switch would
allow children to operate power windows
unintentionally, which could result in
serious injury if a child's hands, head or
neck becomes caught by the window.
Make sure nothing bloc ks the window just
before it reaches the fully closed position or
while fully holding up the power window
switch:
Blocking the power window just before it
reaches the fully closed position or while
fully holding up the power window switch
is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function may not
prevent the window from closing all the
way. If fingers are caught, serious injuries
could occur.
Do not let a child put a hand or head out of
the window while driving the vehicle:
If the person's hand or head hits something
outside the vehicle, or sudden braking is
applied, it could result in serious injury or
death.
NOTE
When driving with only 1 of the rear
windows open, your ears might experience
a resonating sound. However, this does not
indicate a problem. The sound can be
reduced by slightly opening a front
window or by changing the size of the rear
window opening.

Moonroof*
▼Moonroof
The moonroof can be opened or closed
when operating the overhead tilt/slide
switch at the front seats.
WA R N I N G
Do not let passengers stand up or extend
part of the body through the open
moonroof while the vehicle is moving:
Extending the head, arms, or other parts of
the body through the moonroof is
dangerous. The head or arms could hit
something while the vehicle is moving. This
could cause serious injury or death.
Never allow children to play with the tilt/
slide switch:
The tilt/slide switch would allow children to
operate the moonroof unintentionally,
which could result in serious injury if a
child's hands, head or neck becomes
caught by the moonroof.
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing the moonroof:
A closing moonroof is dangerous. The
hands, head, or even neck of a person,
especially a child, could be caught in it as it
closes, causing serious injury or even death.
Make sure nothing blocks the moonroof
just before it reaches the fully closed
position:
Blocking the moonroof just before it
reaches the closed position is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function cannot
prevent the moonroof from closing. If
fingers are caught, serious injuries could
occur.
CAUTION

Do not sit on or put heavy items on the
area where the moonroof opens and
closes. Otherwise, the moonroof could be
damaged.
 Do not open or close the moonroof
forcefully during freezing temperatures
or snowfall. Otherwise, the moonroof
could be damaged.
 The sunshade does not tilt. To avoid
damaging the sunshade, do not push it
