Emission Control System
Your vehicle is equipped with an emission control system (the catalytic
converter is part of
this system) that enables your vehicle to comply with existing exhaust emissions
requirements.
WARNING:
Never park over or near anything flammable:
Parking over or near anything flammable, such as dry grass, is dangerous. Even
with
the engine turned off, the exhaust system remains very hot after normal use and
could ignite anything flammable. A resulting fire could cause serious injury or
death.
CAUTION:
Ignoring the following precautions could cause lead to accumulate on the
catalyst
inside the converter or cause the converter to get very hot. Either condition
will
damage the converter and cause poor performance.
USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
Do not drive your Mazda with any sign of engine malfunction.
Do not coast with the ignition switch turned off.
Do not descend steep grades in gear with the ignition switch turned off.
Do not operate the engine at high idle for more than 2 minutes.
Do not tamper with the emission control system. All inspections and
adjustments
must be made by a qualified technician.
Do not push-start or pull-start your vehicle.
NOTE:
Under U.S. federal law, any modification to the original-equipment emission
control system before
the first sale and registration of a vehicle is subject to penalties. In some
states, such modification
made on a used vehicle is also subject to penalties.
NOTE:
While the engine is off, the sound of a valve opening and closing can be heard
at the rear of the right
side of the vehicle, however this does not indicate an abnormality. Your vehicle
has a self-checking
device and it operates while the engine is off.
