AdBlue® Replenishment

 


  • Use a Mazda genuine product or a product conforming to ISO22241-1 for AdBlue®. If incompatible AdBlue® is used, the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system may not operate normally. For the recommended AdBlue®, consult the nearest expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

  • Do not dilute AdBlue® with water. If diluted AdBlue® is used, it could cause a problem with the SCR system or damage it.

  • Do not add any fluid other than AdBlue® to the urea tank. If any fluid other than AdBlue® is added, it could cause a problem with the SCR system or damage it. Do not switch the ignition ON, and contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

  • When adding AdBlue®, use a bottle with an anti-spill nozzle. If a bottle without an anti-spill nozzle or a commercial dispenser at a petrol station is used, it could cause leakage or the AdBlue® fluid to spray out.

  • Do not overfill the AdBlue® fluid. If AdBlue® is added unnecessarily, it could cause a problem with the urea tank or damage it. Always use a bottle with an auto-stop function and stop adding fluid when the auto-stop function operates.

 


  • When adding AdBlue® during low temperatures (–11 ˚C (12 ˚F) or less), move the vehicle to a warm location. If the AdBlue® starts to freeze, it may not flow correctly and the correct amount may not have been added. In addition, if the fluid freezes in the urea tank, you may not be able to tell if the correct amount of fluid was added.

  • Replenishment of AdBlue® by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer is recommended. If you want to replenish the AdBlue® yourself, follow the replenishment procedure below.

 

Replenishment Procedure

  1. Check the remaining amount of AdBlue® on the multi-information display.

    (Instrument cluster (Type A))

    Refer to Remaining AdBlue® and Maximum Driving Distance Display (SKYACTIV-D 2.2) (Search).

    (Instrument cluster (Type B))

    Refer to Remaining AdBlue® and Maximum Driving Distance Display (SKYACTIV-D 2.2) (Search).

    5.0 L (1.3 US gal, 1.1 Imp gal) of AdBlue® or more needs to be added.

     


    The replenishment amount (reference) according to the AdBlue® level (%) indication is as follows:

    Percentage (%) indication for remaining amount

    Reference replenishment amount*1

    100 — 75

    Replenishment unnecessary

    70 — 65

    About 5.0 L (1.3 US gal, 1.1 Imp gal)

    60 — 55

    About 6.0 L (1.6 US gal, 1.3 Imp gal)

    50 — 40

    About 7.0 L (1.8 US gal, 1.5 Imp gal)

    35 — 30

    About 8.0 L (2.1 US gal, 1.8 Imp gal)

    25 — 20

    About 9.0 L (2.4 US gal, 2.0 Imp gal)

    15

    About 10.0 L (2.64 US gal, 2.20 Imp gal)

    10 — 0

    About 11.0 L (2.91 US gal, 2.42 Imp gal)

    1. Even if AdBlue® is added at the indicated replenishment amount, 100 % may not be indicated on the display.

     

  2. Stop the vehicle on level ground.

  3. Switch the ignition OFF.

  4. (Wagon)

    Open the liftgate and lift the luggage board.

    (Saloon)

    Open the boot lid and remove the boot mat.

  5. (Wagon)

    Rotate the shopping bag hook out of its retainer and set the luggage board against it.

    (Saloon)

    Lift the cargo sub-compartment cover.

  6. Open the cover.

  7. Open the cap of the AdBlue® filler port.

     

  8. Remove the cap of a bottle containing AdBlue®, insert the bottle into the AdBlue® filler port, and screw it in lightly until it stops.

     

     


    If too much AdBlue® is added, the SCR system might display a warning. Contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer if a warning is displayed. If the warning remains displayed, the urea tank may have a problem or it may be damaged.

     


    • If excessive force is applied when pressing in the bottom of the bottle, the bottle or the AdBlue® filler port may be damaged.

    • When the urea tank is full, stop adding AdBlue® because the flow from the bottle slows down by the bottle's auto-stop function. If you continue adding AdBlue®, the urea tank will overfill.

  9. Press in the bottom of the bottle straight and add AdBlue®.

     

  10. Remove the bottle in the reverse order of the insertion. At this time, be careful of AdBlue® dripping from the bottle.

  11. Tighten the cap of the AdBlue® filler port until you hear 2 or more click sounds.

  12. Close the cover securely.

     


    • If the cover is not closed securely, water or exhaust gas from the service hole may penetrate.

  13. Switch the ignition ON once.

  14. Check the following while the vehicle is stopped.

    • No AdBlue® level warning indication is displayed on the multi-information display.

    • The AdBlue® level (%) indication on the multi-information display shows an increase.

      (Instrument cluster (Type A))

      Refer to Remaining AdBlue® and Maximum Driving Distance Display (SKYACTIV-D 2.2) (Search).

      (Instrument cluster (Type B))

      Refer to Remaining AdBlue® and Maximum Driving Distance Display (SKYACTIV-D 2.2) (Search).

  15. Switch the ignition OFF.

If the above indications remain unchanged even after 1 minute has passed with the vehicle stopped:

  • If you have already added 5.0 L (1.3 US gal, 1.1 Imp gal) of AdBlue® according to the AdBlue® level (%) indication on the multi-information display, prepare an additional 5.0 L (1.3 US gal, 1.1 Imp gal) of AdBlue® or more and add it following the replenishment procedure.

  • If you added the correct amount of AdBlue®, the AdBlue® level (%) indication on the multi-information display will show an increase while the vehicle is being driven. If the AdBlue® level (%) shows no increase or the speed restriction does not cancel even while driving the vehicle, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
