Easy Fuel™ No Cap Fuel System; Electronic Stability Control (Esc) System - Mazda Tribute Smart Start Manual

Feature Highlights
EASY FUEL™ NO CAP FUEL SYSTEM
Easy Fuel™ is a unique
self-sealing system that has no
fuel cap to unscrew. Turn the
engine off, open the fuel-filler
door, insert the fuel-filler nozzle
into the fuel system inlet and
pump the fuel. When fueling
is complete, allow a few seconds
before removing the nozzle and
then close the fuel-filler door.
Fuel Requirement: Regular Unleaded Fuel - 87 Octane
If filling the vehicle's fuel tank from a portable fuel container, use the fuel
funnel located inside the rear passenger side cargo compartment access
door. See Passenger Side Cargo Compartment in the Owner's Manual for
further information.
Fuel Funnel
Flex Fuel Vehicle (FFV) fuel fill inlet
If your vehicle is flex fuel capable, it will have a yellow bezel placed over the
fuel fill inlet.
Fuel Requirement: Use only UNLEADED FUEL and FUEL ETHANOL.
NOTE:
Use of any fuel other than those recommended may cause powertrain
damage, a loss of vehicle performance, and repairs may not be covered
under warranty.

ELECTRONIC STAbILITY CONTROL (ESC) SYSTEM

Electronic Stability Control automatically
enables Traction Control (TCS), Dynamic Stability
Control (DSC), and Roll Stability Control (RSC
each time the engine is started.
Traction Control System (TCS) detects drive
wheel slippage and lowers engine torque to
prevent loss of traction.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) uses the sensors of
the vehicle's ESC system to detect and attempt
to mitigate trailer sway by applying brake force at
individual wheels and, if necessary, by reducing
engine power.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) regulates braking and engine torque
in conjunction with the ABS and TCS to help control skids or lateral slides
during sudden or evasive maneuvering.
Roll Stability Control (RSC ) detects when corrective action is needed and
®
controls engine torque and braking on each wheel to prevent a vehicle rollover.
NOTE:
Electronic Stability Control system will only intervene if the driving situation
requires it.
