The accessory socket is located deep in the
back of the footwell on the passenger side.
Only use genuine Mazda accessories or
the equivalent requiring no greater than
120 W (DC 12 V, 10 A).
The ignition must be switched to ACC or
ON. CAUTION
  To prevent accessory socket damage
or electrical failure, pay attention to
the following:
 


 Do not use accessories that require
more than 120 W (DC 12 V, 10 A).
 


 Do not use accessories that are not
genuine Mazda accessories or the
equivalent.
 


 Close the cover when the
accessory socket is not in use to
prevent foreign objects and liquids
from getting into the accessory
socket.
 


 Correctly insert the plug into the
accessory socket.
 


 Do not insert the cigarette lighter
into the accessory socket.
 
 Noise may occur on the audio
playback depending on the device
connected to the accessory socket.
  Depending on the device connected
to the accessory socket, the vehicle's
electrical system may be affected,
which could cause the warning
light to illuminate. Disconnect the
connected device and make sure
that the problem is resolved. If the
problem is resolved, disconnect the
device from the socket and switch
the ignition off. If the problem is not
resolved, consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.

not use the socket for long periods with
