Fuel and Emission
Fuel and Engine Exhaust Precautions
Fuel Requirements (Australia)
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.
To achieve maximum engine performance, use the specified fuel.
|
Fuel |
Research Octane Number |
|---|---|
|
Regular unleaded fuel (Conforming to Fuel Quality Standards Act 2000) |
90 or above |
Fuel with a lower rating will negatively affect the emission control system performance and could also cause engine knocking and serious engine damage.
-
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.
-
This vehicle can only use oxygenated fuels containing no more than 10 % ethanol by volume. Damage to the vehicle may occur when ethanol exceeds this recommendation, or if the petrol contains any methanol. Stop using gasohol of any kind if your vehicle engine is performing poorly.
-
Never add fuel system additives other than a Mazda genuine product, otherwise the emission control system could be damaged. Consult an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) for details.
Petrol blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or ether compounds are generally referred to as oxygenated fuels. The common petrol blend that can be used with your vehicle is ethanol blended at no more than 10 %. Petrol containing alcohol, such as ethanol or methanol, may be marketed under the name “Gasohol”.
Vehicle damage and drivability problems resulting from the use of the following may not be covered by the Mazda warranty.
-
Gasohol containing more than 10 % ethanol.
-
Petrol or gasohol containing methanol.
-
Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
Fuel Requirements (Except Australia)

Emission Control System
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.
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.
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 qualified technician.
-
Do not push-start or pull-start this vehicle.
Engine Exhaust (Carbon monoxide)
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.

Refuelling
Before refuelling, close all the doors, windows, and liftgate, and switch the ignition OFF.
-
Using the following, unlock the driver’s door.
-
Transmitter (Search)
-
Touch sensor (Search)
-
Door-lock switch (Search)
-
Auto lock/unlock function (Search)
-
When the driver's door is locked/unlocked, the fuel flap is also locked/unlocked at the same time.
-
The time until the fuel flap is locked after locking the driver's door can be changed.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
-
However, if you change the time until the fuel flap is locked, locking of the fuel flap using the following functions is not applicable.
-
-
Press the location shown in the illustration and open the fuel flap.
-
To remove the fuel-filler cap, turn it anticlockwise.
-
Attach the removed cap to the inner side of the fuel-filler flap.

-
Insert the refuelling nozzle all the way and begin refuelling. Pull out the refuelling nozzle after the refuelling stops automatically.
-
To close the fuel-filler cap, turn it clockwise until a click is heard.
-
To close, press the fuel-filler flap until a click sound is heard.
-
Make sure to lock all the doors when leaving the vehicle.
Lock the doors after closing the fuel-filler flap.
If the fuel-filler flap is closed after locking the doors, the fuel-filler flap cannot be locked.
