ignition MAZDA MODEL CX-9 2021 Owner's Manual

▼Emission Control System
This vehicle is equipped with an emission con
trol system (the catalytic converter is part of
this system) that enables the vehicle to comply with existing exhaust emissions
requirements.
WA R N I N G
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 le ad to accumulate on the catalyst inside the
converter or cause the converter to get very ho t. 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 gear with the ignition switched
off.
 Do not operate the engine at hi gh idle for more than 2 minutes.
 Do not tamper with the emission control syst em. All inspections and adjustments must be
made by a qualified technician.
 Do not push-start or pull-start this vehicle.
NOTE
Under U.S. federal law, any modification to the original-equipment emission control
system before the first sale and registration of a vehicle is subject to penalties. In some
states, such modification made on a used vehicle is also subject to penalties.
While the engine is off, the sound of a valve opening and closing can be heard at the rear
of the vehicle, however this does not indicate an abnormality. The vehicle has a
self-checking device and it oper ates while the engine is off.

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 genuine 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.
(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.

Power Windows
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 seri ous 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 wi th 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 reach es the fully closed position or while fully
holding up the power window switch is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function cannot prevent the window from closing all the way. If
fingers are caught, serious injuries could occur.
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 changi ng the size of the rear window opening.
▼Opening/Closing Windows
The window opens while the switch is pressed and it closes while the switch is pulled up
with the ignition switched ON. Do not open or close 3 or more windows at the same time.
