Opening the Hood
1. With the vehicle parked, pull the
release handle to unlock the hood.

hood.
Make sure the fuel-filler cap is
tightened securely. The check engine
light comes on when the cap isn’t
tightened securely. If the light remains
on (even after you have tightened the
cap securely, driven, and restarted the
engine several times), it may indicate a
different problem. Contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
