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.

 

To achieve maximum engine performance, use the specified fuel.

  1. Europe

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.

  • 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 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.

Deposit Cleaner

To get the best performance out of our newest-technology SKYACTIV petrol engine on vehicles driven in the following countries and regions, periodic cleaning of deposits adhering to the fuel related system, such as the fuel injectors, is required using a Mazda genuine deposit cleaner.

Target countries: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam

 

  • Periodically use Mazda genuine deposit cleaner.

    If the deposit cleaner is not periodically used, the malfunction indicator light may turn on to indicate an engine malfunction, and if the vehicle continues to be driven under this condition, it could result in problems occurring such as idling failure and poor acceleration.

  • The Mazda genuine deposit cleaner is not a guarantee of engine performance no matter the quality of the fuel used.

    If a problem occurs even though the specified fuel is used and the Mazda genuine deposit cleaner is used according to the instructions, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

  • If a deposit cleaner other than the Mazda genuine product is used, it could result in damage to the fuel system or the engine internally; therefore use only the Mazda genuine product.

    Mazda genuine deposit cleaner: K002 W0 001

  • If periodic cleaning is not done using the Mazda genuine deposit cleaner, repair cost for engine malfunctions occurring from deposits are borne by the customer.

How to use the cleaner

With the fuel tank full, infuse 1 bottle of Mazda genuine deposit cleaner directly into the fuel tank.

 

  • Infusing the deposit cleaner when the fuel tank is full provides the appropriate concentration of cleaner, and by the fuel including the cleaner contacting the deposits for a long period of time, the best cleaning results can be obtained.

  • If the deposit cleaner is infused when the fuel tank is not full, get a full tank of fuel as soon as possible. Refer to the scheduled maintenance (Search) for when to add the deposit cleaner.

Fuel Requirements (SKYACTIV-D 1.5)

The vehicle will operate efficiently on diesel fuel with specification EN590 or the equivalent.

 

  • Never use fuel other than specification EN590 or the equivalent for your vehicle. Use of petrol or paraffin in diesel engines will result in engine damage.

  • 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.

Emission Control System (SKYACTIV-D 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.

 

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.

Close Warning
View Warning

 

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.

  • 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.
