Mazda CX-3 - Fuel-Filler Flap and Cap

Fuel-Filler Flap 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 refuelling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and
ames
away from
the ller neck:
Fuel vapour 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 refuelling 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 designated Mazda
fuel-ller cap or an approved equivalent,
available at an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer). The wrong cap can result in a
serious malfunction of the fuel and
emission control systems.
