Seat Belt Precautions
▼Seat Belt Precautions
Seat belts help to decrease the
possibility of severe injury during
accidents and sudden stops. Mazda
recommends that the driver and all
passengers always wear seat belts.
(Mexico)
All the seats have lap/shoulder belts.
These belts have retractors with inertia
locks that keep them out of the way
when not in use. The locks allow the
belts to remain comfortable on users,
but they will lock in position during a
collision.

(Except Mexico)
All of the seat belt retractors are
designed to keep the lap/shoulder
belts out of the way when not in use.
The driver's seat belt has no provisions
for child-restraint systems and has only
an emergency locking mode. The
driver may wear it comfortably, and it
will lock during a collision.
However, the front passenger's seat
and all rear lap/shoulder belt
retractors operate in two modes:
emergency locking mode, and for
child-restraint systems, automatic
locking mode. While we recommend
you put all children in the rear seats, if
you must use the front passenger seat
for a child, slide the front passenger
seat as far back as possible and make
sure any child-restraint system is
secured properly.
WARNING
Always wear your seat belt and make
sure all occupants are properly
restrained:
Not wearing a seat belt is extremely
dangerous. During a collision,
occupants not wearing seat belts could
hit someone or things inside the
vehicle or even be thrown out of the
vehicle. They could be seriously injured
or even killed. In the same collision,
occupants wearing seat belts would be
much safer.

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person
is
significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.

Do not wear twisted seat belts:
Twisted seat belts are dangerous. In a
collision, the full width of the belt is
not available to absorb the impact.
This puts more force on the bones
beneath the belt, which could cause
serious injury or death. So, if your seat
belt is twisted, you must straighten the
seat belt to remove any twists and to
allow the full width of the belt to be
used.
Never use one seat belt on more than
one person at a time:
Using one seat belt for more than one
person at a time is dangerous. A seat
belt used in this way cannot spread the
impact forces properly and the two
passengers could be crushed together
and seriously injured or even killed.
Never use one belt for more than one
person at a time and always operate
the vehicle with each occupant
properly restrained.

Auxiliary key
There is a removable auxiliary key
inside the transmitter.

Removing the auxiliary key
1. Remove the lower cover whilesliding the knob in the direction of
the arrow.
2. Remove the auxiliary key.
Installing the auxiliary key
1. Install the auxiliary key as theillustration.
2. Insert the tabs of the lower coverinto the slots of the transmitter and
install the lower cover.

Key code number plate
A code number is stamped on the
plate attached to the key set; detach
this plate and store it in a safe place
(not in the vehicle) for use if you need
to make a replacement key (auxiliary
key).
Also write down the code number and
keep it in a separate safe and
convenient place, but not in the
vehicle.
If your key (auxiliary key) is lost, consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer and have

When driving on ice or in water, snow,
mud, sand, or similar hazards:
Be cautious and allow extra distance
for braking.
Avoid sudden braking and sudden
maneuvering.
Do not pump the brakes. Continue
to press down on the brake pedal.
Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS)
on page 4-84.
If you get stuck, select a lower gear
and accelerate slowly. Do not spin
the front wheels.
For more traction in starting on
slippery surfaces such as ice or
packed snow, use sand, rock salt,
chains, carpeting, or other nonslip
material under the front wheels.
NOTE
Use snow chains only on the front
wheels.
Floor Mat
▼Floor Mat
We recommend the use of Genuine
Mazda
floor mats.
WARNING
Make sure the
floor mats are hooked
on the retention pins to prevent them
from bunching up under the foot
pedals:
Using a floor mat that is not secured is
dangerous as it will interfere with the
accelerator and brake pedal operation,
which could result in an accident.
Do not install two floor mats, one on
top of the other, on the driver's side:
Installing two floor mats, one on top of
the other, on the driver's side is
dangerous as the retention pins can
only keep one floor mat from sliding
forward.
Loose floor mat(s) will interfere with
the foot pedals and could result in an
accident.
If using an all-weather mat for winter
use always remove the original floor
mat.
When setting a floor mat, position the
floor mat so that its grommets are
inserted over the pointed end of the
retention posts.

Installing the chains
1. If your vehicle is equipped withwheel covers remove them,
otherwise the chain bands will
scratch them.
2. Secure the chains on the front tires as tightly as possible.
Always follow the chain
manufacturer's instructions.
3. Retighten the chains after driving
1/2 ―1 km (1/4 ―1/2 mile).
Driving In Flooded Area
▼Driving In Flooded Area
WARNING
Dry off brakes that have become wet
by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to normal:
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping
distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when
braking could result in a serious
accident. Light braking will indicate
whether the brakes have been
affected.
CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle on flooded
roads as it could cause short circuiting
of electrical/electronic parts, or engine
damage or stalling from water
absorption. If the vehicle has been
immersed in water, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

WARNING
Never touch the areas where high
current is flowing:
Never touch a M Hybrid related part.
Otherwise, it could lead to an
electrical shock or burns causing
serious injury.
Never touch electrical wiring that may
be protruding into or outside of the
cabin:
Otherwise, it could lead to an
electrical shock or burns causing
serious injury.
Never touch any area where
electrolyte is visible or electrolyte is
leaking from the area:
If any electrolyte from the M Hybrid
battery gets in the eyes or on the skin,
it could cause loss of vision or skin
reactions. In the unlikely event that
electrolyte comes into contact with the
eyes or skin, flush with large quantities
of water immediately and seek
immediate medical attention.
Do not come near the vehicle if
electrolyte is leaking from the M
Hybrid battery:
Even if the M Hybrid battery is
damaged, large quantities of
electrolyte will not flow out due to the
internal structure of the battery,
however, in the unlikely event that it
does, it will produce steam. The steam
contains properties that can irritate the
eyes and skin, and could cause acute
poisoning if absorbed.
Never approach objects that are on
fire or extremely hot:
Electrolyte in the M Hybrid battery may
cause a fire.
If the vehicle catches fire, extinguish
the fire using an ABC fire
extinguisher:
Only extinguish a fire with water when
a high volume of water is available
such as from a fire hydrant.
▼ M Hybrid Control Status Display
The driver is notified of the M Hybrid
operation status by the control status
display.
The M Hybrid operation status is
displayed in the center display.
Refer to the Information section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.

Antilock Brake System(ABS)
▼Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS control unit continuously
monitors the speed of each wheel. If
one wheel is about to lock up, the ABS
responds by automatically releasing
and reapplying that wheel's brake.

The driver will feel a slight vibration in
the brake pedal and may hear a
chattering noise from the brake system.
This is normal ABS system operation.
Continue to depress the brake pedal
without pumping the brakes.

The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to ABS Warning Indication/
Warning Light on page 7-25.
WARNING
Do not rely on ABS as a substitute for
safe driving:
The ABS cannot compensate for unsafe
and reckless driving, excessive speed,
tailgating (following another vehicle
too closely), driving on ice and snow,
and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction
and road contact because of water on
the road surface). You can still have an
accident.
NOTE
Braking distances may be longer on
loose surfaces (snow or gravel, for
example) which usually have a hard
foundation. A vehicle with a normal
braking system may require less
distance to stop under these
conditions because the tires will
build up a wedge of surface layer
when the wheels skid.
The sound of the ABS operating may
be heard when starting the engine or
immediately after starting the
vehicle, however, it does not indicate
a malfunction.
