If your vehicle runs out of fuel, add at least 10 L (2.6 US gal, 2.2 Imp gal) of fuel, and try to restart the engine. Because air can get into fuel lines when a vehicle runs out of fuel, your engine may take longer to start. If the engine does not start the first time, try starting it several more times. If it still does not start, contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
