Lighting Control
▼Headlights
Turn the headlight switch to turn the headlights and other exterior lights on or off.
When the tail lights, position lights, and the number plate lights are turned on, the
lights-on indicator light in the instrument cluster turns on.
NOTE
xTo prevent discharging the battery, do not leave the lights on while the engine is
off unless safety requires them.
xHeadlights do not blind drivers approaching in the opposite direction no matter
what side of the road you must drive your vehicle (left-hand or right-hand traffic).
Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the optical axis of the headlights when
switching temporarily to driving on the opposite side of the road (left-hand or
right-hand traffic).

WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with the
parking brake applied:
If the vehicle is driven with the parking
brake applied, the brake parts may
generate heat and the brake system
may not operate, leading to an
accident.
Before driving the vehicle, release the
parking brake and make sure that the
EPB indicator light in the instrument
cluster turns off.
Apply the parking brake when leaving
the vehicle:
Not applying the parking brake when
parking the vehicle is dangerous as the
vehicle may move unexpectedly and
result in an accident. Before leaving the
vehicle, apply the parking brake and
make sure that the EPB indicator light
in the instrument cluster turns on.
NOTE
xThe parking brake cannot be applied
or released while the vehicle battery
is dead.
Refer to If a Jump-Starting on page

applied after switching the ignition
OFF. Before switching the ignition
OFF, apply the parking brake
manually.
xThe sound of the parking brake being
applied or released can be heard,
however, this does not indicate a
problem.
xIf the EPB is not used for long
periods, an automatic inspection of
the system is performed while the
vehicle is parked. An operation
sound can be heard, however, this
does not indicate a problem.
xWhen applying the parking brake
and switching OFF the ignition, an

system (foot brake) while driving the
vehicle, continually pulling up the
EPB switch will apply the brakes and
decelerate or stop the vehicle. The
parking brake on-reminder sound is
activated while the brake is applied.
In addition, when releasing the

Charging the M Hybrid battery
The M Hybrid battery is charged
automatically by the engine power and
deceleration regeneration. Therefore, it
is not necessary to charge the battery
from outside of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Drive the vehicle for about 30 minutes
once every few months because
self-discharge occurs gradually if the
vehicle is not driven for a long period
of time. If the M Hybrid battery
becomes completely discharged and
M Hybrid cannot be activated, contact
an expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
▼M Hybrid Precautions

when scrapping the vehicle, consult an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).

¾If the M Hybrid battery is used on a
vehicle other than one equipped
with M Hybrid (including modified
vehicles), accidents such as
electrocution, heat generation,
smoking, combustion, and
explosions, or an electrolyte leakage
may occur.
Scrapping Your Vehicle and Disposing
of the M Hybrid battery
The M Hybrid battery is salvaged to
prevent accidents involving it. When
scrapping your vehicle, replacing the M
