Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
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.
Before refueling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and  ames away
from the  ller neck:
Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be
ignited by sparks or  ames 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 refueling after the fuel
pump nozzle shuts o automatically:
Continuing to add fuel after the
fuel pump nozzle has shut o
automatically is dangerous because
over lling the fuel tank may cause
fuel over ow or leakage. Fuel over ow
and leakage could damage the vehicle
and if the fuel ignites it could cause a
 re and explosion resulting in serious
injury or death.
CAUTION
Always use only a genuine Mazda fuel-
 ller cap or an approved equivalent,
available at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer. The wrong cap can result in
a serious malfunction of the fuel and
emission control systems. It may also
cause the check engine light in the
instrument cluster to illuminate.
