NOTE: Do not be concerned if your engine sometimes knocks lightly.

However, if it knocks heavily under most driving conditions while you are

using fuel with the recommended octane rating, see your authorized

Mazda dealer to prevent any engine damage.

Fuel quality

NOTE: If you are experiencing starting, rough idle or hesitation

driveability problems during a cold start, try a different brand of

“Regular” unleaded gasoline. “Premium” unleaded gasoline is not

recommended (particularly in the United States) because it may cause

these problems to become more pronounced. If the problems persist, see

your authorized Mazda dealer.

It should not be necessary to add any aftermarket products to your fuel

tank if you continue to use high quality fuel of the recommended octane

rating.

Aftermarket products could cause damage to the fuel system.

Repairs to correct the effects of using an aftermarket product in

your fuel may not be covered by your warranty.

Many of the world’s automakers approved the World-wide Fuel Charter

that recommends gasoline specifications to provide improved

performance and emission control system protection for your vehicle.

Gasolines that meet the World-wide Fuel Charter should be used when

available. Ask your fuel supplier about gasolines that meet the

World-wide Fuel Charter.

Cleaner air

Mazda endorses the use of reformulated “cleaner-burning” gasolines to

improve air quality.

Running out of fuel

Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse

affect on powertrain components.

If you have run out of fuel:

• You may need to cycle the ignition from OFF to ON several times after

refueling, to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to

the engine.

• The

indicator may come on. For more information on the “Check

Engine” indicator, refer to the Instrument Cluster chapter.

Fuel Filler Cap

Your fuel tank filler cap has an indexed design with a 1/8 turn on/off

feature.
