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.
CAUTION
Always use only a ge nuine 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.
(SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5, and
SKYACTIV-G 2.5T for U.S.A. and Canada)
It may also cause the check engine light in
the instrument cluster to illuminate.
▼ Refueling
Before refueling, close all the doors,
windows, and the liftg
ate, and switch the
ignition OFF.
1. To open the fuel-filler lid, pull the remote fuel-filler lid release.

4. Insert the refueling nozzle all the way
and begin refueling. Pull out the
refueling nozzle after the refueling
stops automatically.
5. To close the fuel-filler cap, turn it
clockwise until a click is heard.
6. To close, press the fuel-filler lid until it
locks securely.

CAUTION
(SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5, and
SKYACTIV-G 2.5T for 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 th e 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.

Replenishment of DEF by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer is recommended. If you
want to replenish the DEF yourself,
follow the replenishment procedure
below.

Replenishment Procedure
1. Check the remaining amount of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) on the

Tires
For reasons of proper performance, safety,
and better fuel economy, always maintain
recommended tire inflation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits
and weight distribution.
WA R N I N G
Using Different Tire Types:
Driving your vehicle with different types of
tires is dangerous. It could cause poor
handling and poor braking; leading to loss
of control.
Except for the limited use of the temporary
spare tire, use only the same type tires
(radial, bias-belted, bias-type) on all four
wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tires:
Using any other tire size than what is
specified for the vehicle (page 9-9) is
dangerous. It could seriously affect ride,
handling, ground clearance, tire clearance,
and speedometer calibration. This could
cause you to have an accident. Use only
tires that are the correct size specified for
the vehicle.
▼ Tire Inflation Pressure
WA R N I N G
Always
inflate the tires to the correct
pressure:
Overinflation or
underinflation of tires is
dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tire failure could result in a
serious accident.
Refer to Tires on page 9-9.
Use only a Mazda-genuine tire valve cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is dangerous as
the correct tire air pressure cannot be
maintained if the tire valve becomes
damaged. If the vehicle is driven under this
condition, the tire air pressure will decrease
which could result in a serious accident. Do
not use any part for the tire valve cap that
is not a Mazda-genuine part.
Inspect all tire pressures monthly
(including the spare) when the tires are
cold. Maintain recomm ended pressures for
the best ride, handli ng, and minimum tire
wear.
Refer to the specification charts (page
9-9).
NOTE
Always check tire pressure when tires
are cold.
Warm tires normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not release
air from warm tires to adjust the
pressure.
Underinflation can cause reduced fuel
economy, uneven and accelerated tire
wear, and poor sealing of the tire bead,
which will deform the wheel and cause
separation of tire from rim.
Overinflation can produce a harsh ride,
uneven and accelerated tire wear, and a
greater possibility of damage from road
hazards.
Keep your tire pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequen tly needs inflating,
have it inspected.

the AUTOHOLD function, such as on steep slopes. Depress and hold your foot on the
brake pedal.
When flashing and beep sound is activated at the same time
The warning light flashes and the beep sound is activated for about 5 seconds if there is a
problem with the system. If the warning light flashes and the warning sound is activated,
immediately depress the brake pedal and stop using the AUTOHOLD function then con-
tact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
WA R N I N G
Immediately depress the brake pedal if the warning light flashes and the beep sound is acti‐
vated while using the AUTOHOLD function:
Because the AUTOHOLD function is canceled forcibly, the vehicle may move unexpectedly
and result in an accident.
Check Engine Light If this light illuminates while driving, the ve
hicle may have a problem. It is important to
note the driving conditions wh en the light illuminated and consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
The check engine light may illu minate in the following cases:
The engine's electrical system has a problem.The emission control system has a problem.(Except SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
The fuel tank level being very low or approaching empty.The fuel-filler cap is missing or not tightened securely.
If the check engine light remains on, or it flashes continuously , do not drive at high
speeds and consult an Authorized M azda Dealer as soon as possible.
WA R N I N G
If the check engine light turns on, do not disconnect the battery cables.
If the battery cables are disconnected and th en reconnected, the engine could be damaged
and catch on fire.
