Refueling

Before refueling, close all the doors, windows, and liftgate/trunk lid, and switch the ignition OFF.

  1. Unlock the driver’s door.

     


    • When unlocking the driver's door, the fuel lid is also unlocked at the same time.

    • When locking the driver's door, the fuel lid is locked after 90 seconds.

    • The time until the fuel lid is locked after locking the driver's door can be changed.

      Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.

    • However, when the driver's door is locked using the following functions, the fuel lid is also locked at the same time.

  2. Press the location shown in the illustration and open the fuel lid.

  3. To remove the fuel-filler cap, turn it counterclockwise.

  8. Make sure to lock all the doors when leaving the vehicle.

     


    Lock the doors after closing the fuel-filler lid.

    If the fuel-filler lid is closed after locking the doors, the fuel-filler lid cannot be locked.

 


If the check fuel cap warning light illuminates, the fuel-filler cap may not be properly installed. If the warning light illuminates, park your vehicle safely off the right-of-way, remove the fuel-filler cap and reinstall it correctly. After the cap has been correctly installed, the fuel cap warning light may continue to illuminate until a number of driving cycles have been completed. A drive cycle consists of starting the engine (after four or more hours with the engine off) and driving the vehicle on city and highway roads.

Continuing to drive with the check fuel cap warning light illuminated could cause the check engine light to illuminate as well.
