warning light MAZDA MODEL CX-30 2022 Owner's Guide

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
WARNING
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.

7. To close, press the fuel-filler liduntil a click sound is heard.

8. Make sure to lock all the doorswhen leaving the vehicle.
NOTE
Lock the doors after closing the
fuel-filler lid.
If the fuel-filler lid is closed after
locking the doors, the fuel-filler lid
cannot be locked.
CAUTION
(U.S.A. and Canada)
If the check fuel cap warning light
illuminates, the fuel-filler cap may not
be properly installed. If the warning
light illuminates, park your vehicle
safely off the right-of-way, remove the
fuel-filler cap and reinstall it correctly.
After the cap has been correctly
installed, the fuel cap warning light
may continue to illuminate until a
number of driving cycles have been
completed. A drive cycle consists of
starting the engine (after four or more
hours with the engine off) and driving
the vehicle on city and highway roads.
Continuing to drive with the check fuel
cap warning light illuminated could
cause the check engine light to
illuminate as well.

Powe r Wi n d ow s
▼Po we r Wi n d o w s
The windows can be opened/closed
by operating the power window
switches.
WARNING
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 blocks 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.

Rocking the Vehicle
▼Rocking the Vehicle
WARNING
Do not spin the wheels at more than
56 km/h (35 mph), and do not allow
anyone to stand behind a wheel when
pushing the vehicle:
When the vehicle is stuck, spinning the
wheels at high speed is dangerous. The
spinning tire could overheat and
explode. This could cause serious
injuries.
CAUTION
Too much rocking may cause
transmission failure, and tire damage.
If you must rock the vehicle to free it
from snow, sand or mud, depress the
accelerator slightly and slowly move
the selector lever from D to R position.
Winter Driving
▼Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper,
flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
check the following:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on page
6-18.
Inspect the battery and its cables.
Cold reduces battery capacity.
Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that
the vehicle will be driven in (page
6-16).
Inspect the ignition system for
damage and loose connections.
Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze ―but do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid
(page 6-20).
NOTE
Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windshield is dangerous
as it could obstruct vision.
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice
or frozen snow on the mirror glass
and windshield.
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.

CX-30_8KN2-EA-21L_Edition1_new 2021-9-15 19:39:56

Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake
components. If this situation occurs,
drive the vehicle slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to
normal.
▼ Snow Tires
Use snow tires on all 4 wheels
Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75
mph) while driving with snow tires.
Inflate
snow tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2,
4.3 psi) more than recommended on
the tire pressure label (driver's door
frame), but never more than the
maximum cold-tire pressure shown on
the tires.

The vehicle is orig inally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used
all year around. In some extreme
climates you may find it necessary to
replace them with snow tires during
the winter months to further improve
traction on snow and ice covered
roads.
WARNING
Use only the same size and type tires
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all 4
wheels:
Using tires different in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly affected and result in
an accident.
CAUTION
Check local regulations before using
studded tires.
NOTE
The tire pressure monitoring system
may not function correctly when using
tires with steel wire reinforcement in
the sidewalls (page 4-213).
▼ Tire Chains
Check local regulations before using
tire chains.
CAUTION

Chains may affect handling.
 Do not go faster than 50 km/h (30
mph) or the chain manufacturer's
recommended limit, whichever is
lower.
 Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, and sharp turns.
 Avoid locked-wheel braking.
 Do not use chains on a temporary
spare tire; it may result in damage to
the vehicle and to the tire.
 Do not use chains on roads that are
free of snow or ice. The tires and
chains could be damaged.
 Chains may scratch or chip
aluminum wheels.
NOTE
The tire pressure monitoring system
may not function correctly when
using tire chains.
Install the chains on the front tires only.
Do not use chains on the rear tires.
Please consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
