Fuel and Emission

Fuel and Engine Exhaust Precautions

Fuel Requirements (SKYACTIV-G 1.3, SKYACTIV-G 1.5)

Vehicles with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors must use ONLY UNLEADED FUEL,

which will reduce exhaust emissions and keep spark plug fouling to a minimum.

The vehicle will perform best with fuel listed in the table.

Fuel and Emission

Fuel with a lower rating will negatively affect the emission control system performance and

could also cause engine knocking and serious engine damage.

CAUTION

ꢀ ꢀ

USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.

Leaded fuel is harmful to the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors and will lead to

ꢀ

deterioration of the emission control system and or failures.

The use of E10 fuel with 10 % ethanol in Europe is safe for your vehicle. Damage to

ꢀ ꢀ

your vehicle may occur when ethanol exceeds this recommendation.

Never add fuel system additives, otherwise the emission control system could be

ꢀ ꢀ

damaged. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer

for details.

Fuel Requirements (SKYACTIV-D 1.5)

The vehicle will operate ef¿ciently on diesel fuel with speci¿cation EN590 or the

equivalent.

CAUTION

ꢀ ꢀ

Never use fuel other than speci¿cation EN590 or the equivalent for your vehicle. Use

of petrol or paraf¿n in diesel engines will result in engine damage.

Never add fuel system additives. Otherwise, the emission control system could be

ꢀ ꢀ

damaged. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer

for details.

NOTE

When refuelling, always add at least 10 L (2.6 US gal, 2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.

Fuel and Emission

Emission Control System (SKYACTIV-G 1.3, SKYACTIV-G 1.5)

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 Àammable:

Parking over or near anything Àammable, 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 Àammable. A resulting ¿re 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 gear with the ignition switched off.

Do not operate the engine at high idle for more than 2 minutes.

Do not tamper with the emission control system. All inspections and adjustments must

ꢀ ꢀ

be made by a quali¿ed technician.

Do not push-start or pull-start your vehicle.

Fuel and Emission

Engine Exhaust (Carbon monoxide)

WARNING

Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle:

Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This gas contains carbon monoxide (CO), which is

colourless, odourless, and poisonous. When inhaled, it can cause loss of consciousness

and death. If you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle, keep all windows fully open and

contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer immediately.

Do not run the engine when inside an enclosed area:

Running the engine inside an enclosed area, such as a garage, is dangerous. Exhaust

gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could easily enter the cabin. Loss of

consciousness or even death could occur.

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 and Emission

Fuel-Filler Flap and Cap

CAUTION

Always use only a designated Mazda

fuel-¿ller cap or an approved equivalent,

available at an expert repairer, we

recommend an Authorised Mazda

Repairer. The wrong cap can result in

a serious malfunction of the fuel and

emission control systems.

WARNING

When removing the fuel-¿ller 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-¿ller cap is removed too

quickly.

Fuel-Filler Flap

To open, pull the remote fuel-¿ller Àap

release.

To close, press the fuel-¿ller Àap until it

locks securely.

Before refuelling, stop the engine, and

always keep sparks and Àames away

from the ¿ller neck:

Fuel vapour is dangerous. It could be

ignited by sparks or Àames causing

serious burns and injuries.

Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-

¿ller cap or not using a fuel-¿ller cap

may result in a fuel leak, which could

result in serious burns or death in an

accident.

Do not continue refuelling after

the fuel pump nozzle shuts off

automatically:

Remote fuel-filler flap release

Continuing to add fuel after the fuel

pump nozzle has shut off automatically

is dangerous because over¿lling the

fuel tank may cause fuel overÀow or

leakage. Fuel overÀow and leakage

could damage the vehicle and if the

fuel ignites it could cause a ¿re and

explosion resulting in serious injury or

death.

Fuel-Filler Cap

To remove the fuel-¿ller cap, turn it

anticlockwise.

Attach the removed cap to the inner side

of the fuel Àap.

To close the fuel-¿ller cap, turn it

clockwise until a click is heard.
