oil additives MAZDA MODEL CX-5 2021 Owners Manual

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.
WARNING
Never use engine starting assist additives:
Using engine starting assist additives is dangerous because they may cause a vehicle
explosion or a vehicle runaway condition, leading to serious injury or death.
▼ Emission Control System (SKYACTIV-G 2.5, SKYACTIV-G 2.5T)
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.
WARNING
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 ge ar with the ignition switched
off.
 Do not operate the engine at high idle for more than 2 minutes.
