Jump-Starting
▼Jump-Starting
Jump-starting is dangerous if done incorrectly. So follow the procedure carefully. If
you feel unsure about jump-starting, we strongly recommend that you have a
competent service technician do the work.
WARNING
Follow These Precautions Carefully:
To ensure safe and correct handling of the battery, read the following precautions
carefully before using the battery or inspecting it.
Keep flames and sparks away from open battery cells and do not allow
metal tools to contact the positive (+) or negative (–) terminal of the battery when
working near a battery. Do not allow the positive (+) terminal to contact the
vehicle body:
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced
during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An
exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries. Keep all
flames including
cigarettes and sparks away from open battery cells.
Keep all
flames and sparks away from open battery cells because hydrogen
gas is produced from open battery cells while charging the battery or adding
battery
fluid:
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced
during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An
exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries. Keep all
flames including
cigarettes and sparks away from open battery cells.
Do not jump-start a frozen battery or one with a low fluid level:
Jump-starting a frozen battery or one with a low fluid level is dangerous. It may
rupture or explode, causing serious injury.
Connect the negative lead to a good ground point away from the battery:
Connecting the end of the second jumper lead to the negative (–) terminal of the
discharged battery is dangerous.
A spark could cause the gas around the battery to explode and injure someone.

When starting the engine, the brake
system warning light may turn on and
the warning indication may be
displayed. In this case, park the
vehicle in a safe location and release
the brake pedal.
If the brake system warning light/
warning indication does not turn off
even after parking the vehicle, have
the vehicle inspected by an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
▼Electronic Brake Force Distribution
System Warning
If the electronic brake force
distribution control unit determines
that some components are operating
incorrectly, the control unit may
illuminate the brake system warning
light and the ABS warning light
simultaneously. The problem is likely to
be the electronic brake force
distribution system.
WARNING
Do not drive with both the brake
system warning light and ABS warning
light illuminated. Have the vehicle
towed to an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) to have the brakes inspected
as soon as possible:
Driving when the brake system warning
light and ABS warning light are
illuminated simultaneously is
dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the
rear wheels could lock more quickly in
an emergency stop than under normal
circumstances.
▼Charging System Warning
Indication/Warning Light
If the warning light illuminates while
driving , it indicates a malfunction of
the alternator or of the charging
system.
Drive to the side of the road and park
off the right-of-way. Consult an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
CAUTION
Do not continue driving when the
charging system warning light is
illuminated because the engine could
stop unexpectedly.
▼Engine Oil Warning Indication/
Warning Light
This warning light indicates low engine
oil pressure.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine if the oil
pressure is low. Otherwise, it could
result in extensive engine damage.
If the light illuminates or the warning
indication is displayed while driving:
