ignition MAZDA MODEL 6 2020 Owner's Manual (in English)

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
The SCR system is designed to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the exhaust gas and purify
the exhaust gas by injecting it w ith Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF).
WA R N I N G
Be careful not to allow the DEF to run out. If the DEF completely runs out, the SCR system will
not operate normally.
When the remaining DEF is low, a message is displayed on the multi-information display, and
the SCR warning light turns on/flashes.
Refer to Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System Indications on page 4-231.
In this case, consult an Authorized Mazda De aler. If DEF needs to be replenished, add DEF
following the specified procedure.
Refer to Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Replenishment on page 6-33.
NOTE
DEF needs to be replenished periodically according to the scheduled maintenance
information.
Normally, the vehicle can be driven about 12,000 km (7,500 miles) before the DEF needs
to be replenished. However, it may need to be replenished earlier depending on the
driving and environmental conditions (such as putting a high load on the engine while
driving or driving the vehicle at high altitudes).
The sound of the SCR system operating may be heard from the area under the vehicle,
however, this does not indicate a problem.
▼ Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR) System Indications
As the remaining amount of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) lowers, t he SCR system notifies
the driver using the fo llowing indications.
The vehicle speed may be restric ted for a while even if the warning light turns off after
replenishing the DEF. To cancel the vehicle speed restriction i mmediately, switch the
ignition OFF after the warning li ght turns off and then switch the ignition ON again.

Operating Tips
Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
switch on for a long period of time with
the ignition switched ON when the
engine is not running.
Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system efficiency.
Use the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while
in a traffic jam, or when you would like
to shut off outside air for quick cooling
of the interior.
Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.
If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the climate control system.
Run the air cond itioner about 10
minutes at least once a month to keep
internal parts lubricated.
Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot . Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
efficient.
The refrigerant specifications are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. If the
wrong type of refrigerant is used, it
could result in a ser ious malfunction of
the air conditioner. Consult a
professional, government certified
repairer for the inspection or repair
because a special device is required for
the air conditi oner maintenance.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
