Make sure there is nobody in the rear seat
area before operating (pulling) the remote
handle:
Not checking the rear seat area for persons
before folding the seatbacks with the strap/
remote handle is dangerous. The rear seat
area is difficult to see from the rear of the
vehicle. Operating (pulling) the remote
handle without checking could cause injury
to a person when a seatback suddenly flips
forward.
CAUTION
 Before folding the seatbacks down with
the remote handle, make sure there is no
cup in a rear cup holder. Folding the
seatbacks with the remote handle while
a cup is in the cup holder could soil or
damage the seat bottom and seatback.
 Be careful of the following when using
the remote handle:
 On a downward slope, the seatback
could flip forward faster than on a flat
surface.
 On an upward slope, the seatback may
not fold down. When the seatbacks
cannot be folded down with the
remote handle, pull the rear seatback
forward from inside the vehicle.
 (Folding the left seatback)
Be careful when operating the remote
handle with the center seatback folded
down. If a person sitting in the right rear
seat places a hand on the center
seatback, it could be pinched by a
seatback or seat component causing
injury.

Always remove the child-restraint system
from the rear seat before operating the
remote handle for the rear seat:
Operating the remote handle while a
rear-facing child-restraint system is in the
rear seat is dangerous. It could cause injury
to a child seated in the child-restraint
system when the seatback suddenly flips
forward.

Do not operate a vehicle with a damaged seat belt:
Using a damaged seat belt is dangerous. An accident could damage the belt webbing of the
seat belt in use. A damaged seat belt cannot provide adequate protection in a collision. Have
an Authorized Mazda Dealer inspect all seat be lt systems in use during an accident before
they are used again.
Have your seat belts changed immediately if the pretensioner or load limiter has been
expended:
Always have an Authorized Ma zda Dealer immediately inspect the seat belt pretensioners
and air bags after any collision. Like the air bags , the seat belt pretensioners and load limiters
will only function once and must be replaced af ter any collision that caused them to deploy. A
seat belt with an expended pretensioner or load limiter is still better than wearing no seat belt
at all; however, if the seat belt pretensioner s and load limiters are not replaced, the risk of
injury in a collision will increase.
Positioning the Shoulder Portion of the Seat Belt:
Improper positioning of the shoulder portion of the seat belt is dangerous. Always make sure
the shoulder portion of the seat belt is positi oned across your shoulder and near your neck,
but never under your arm, on your neck, or on your upper arm.
Positioning the Lap Portion of the Seat Belt:
The lap portion of the seat belt worn too high is dangerous. In a collision, this would
concentrate the impact force directly on the abdominal area, causing serious injury. Wear the
lap portion of the belt snugly and as low as possible.

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing
a seat belt.

CAUTION
Belt retraction may become difficult if the belts and rings are soiled, so try to keep them clean.
For more details about cleaning the seat belts, refer to "Seat Belt Maintenance" (page 6-71).

Fuel grade labels are visible on fuel-filler lid, therefore, verify the fuel grade before
refueling. If the fuel grade cannot be verified, ask the gas station attendant.
CAUTION
 Never use fuel other than specification Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD, 15 ppm sulfur or less)
fuel that meets the ASTM D975 standard or th e equivalent for your vehicle. Use of gasoline
or kerosene in diesel engines will result in fuel system and engine damage.
 Never use diesel fuel with concentrations of methyl ester bio-diesel higher than 5 % (B5),
such as B20 or B100.
 Never add fuel system additives other than a Mazda genuine product, otherwise the
emission control system could be damaged. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for
details.
 If any type of incorrect fuel is accidently pumped into the fuel tank, do not turn on the
engine and drive the vehicle. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for assistance.
Turning on the engine or driving the vehicle with the incorrect fuel could cause damage to
the fuel pump and fuel injectors.
 Do not mistake the refueling port for the DEF
filler port. If fuel was added to the DEF
filler
port by mistake, do not turn on the engine and drive the vehicle. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer for assistance.
Turning on the engine or driving the vehicle with fuel in the DEF filler port could cause
damage to the emission control system.
Diesel fuel only
DEF only
NOTE
Fuel for winter driving is available. Ask the gas station attendant for details.
When refueling, always add at least 10 L (2.6 US gal, 2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
Low outside temperatures
When the outside temperature is low, diesel fuel (light oil) may freeze and clog the fuel
pipe, leading to problems such as the engine not starting. When driving to a cold region, add
winter grade diesel fuel as soon as possible.

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 6-29.
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 6-25).
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
6-31).
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.
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.

Mexico
The vehicle is originally equipped with
summer tires designed for optimum
traction on wet and dry roads. If your
vehicle is to be used on snow and ice
covered roads, Mazda recommends that
you replace the tires originally equipped
on your vehicle with snow tires during the
winter months.
Except Mexico
The vehicle is originally 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.

Turbocharger Information (SKYACTIV-G 2.5T,SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
CAUTION
After driving at freeway speeds or up a long hill, trailer towing for a long time, idle the
engine at least 30 seconds before stoppi ng it. Otherwise, the turbocharger could be
damaged.
 Racing or over-revving the engine, particularly after it's just been started, can damage the
turbocharger.
 To protect the engine from damage, the engine is designed so that it cannot be raced just
after starting it in extremely cold weather.
The turbocharger greatly enhances engine power. Its advanced design provides improved
operation and requires minimum maintenance.

To get the most from it, observe the following.
1. Change engine oil and filter accordi ng to Scheduled Maintenance (page 6-4).
2. Use only recommended engine oil (page 6-25). Extra additives are NOT recommended.
