Coolant
▼Inspecting Coolant Level
WARNING
Do not use a match or live
flame in
the motor compartment. DO NOT
ADD COOLANT WHEN THE EV
SYSTEM IS HOT :
A hot EV system is dangerous. If the EV
system has been running , parts of the
motor compartment can become very
hot. You could be burned. Carefully
inspect the EV system coolant in the
coolant reservoir, but do not open it.
Pull over to a safe location, then
switch the power switch o ff and make
sure the fan is not running before
attempting to work near the cooling
fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is
running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running inde finitely even if
the EV system has stopped and the
motor compartment temperature is
high. You could be hit by the fan and
seriously injured.
Do not remove either
cooling system cap when the EV
system and radiator are hot:
When the EV system and radiator are
hot, scalding coolant and steam may
shoot out under pressure and cause
serious injury.
NOTE
Changing the coolant should be done
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Inspect the antifreeze protection and
coolant level in the coolant reservoir at
least once a year ―at the beginning of
the winter season ―and before
traveling where temperatures may drop
below freezing.

Inspect the condition and connections
of the cooling system.
Replace any that are swollen or
deteriorated.

The coolant should be between the
FULL and LOW marks on the coolant
reservoir when the EV system is cool.

If it is at or near LOW, add enough
coolant to the coolant reservoir to
provide freezing and corrosion
protection and to bring the level to
FULL.
Securely tighten the coolant reservoir
tank cap after adding coolant.
CAUTION
 Radiator coolant will damage paint.
Rinse it
off quickly if spilled.

If the “FL22” mark is shown on or
near the cooling system cap, use of
FL -22 is recommended when
replacing coolant. Using coolant
other than FL -22 may cause serious
damage to the cooling system.

If the coolant reservoir is empty or new
coolant is required frequently, consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Brake Fluid
▼ Inspecting Brake Fluid Level
WARNING
If the brake
fluid level is low, have the
brakes inspected:
A low brake fluid level is dangerous.
A low level could indicate brake lining
wear or a brake system leak which
could cause the brakes to fail and lead
to an accident.
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir
regularly. It should be kept between
the MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake linings. If
it is excessively low, have the brake
system inspected by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

Washer Fluid
▼Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WARNING
Use only windshield washer
fluid or
plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fl uid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield,
a ff ect your visibility, and could result in
an accident.
Using Washer Fluid Without
Anti-freeze Protection in Cold
Weather:
Operating your vehicle in temperatures
below 4 °C (40 °F) using washer fluid
without anti-freeze protection is
dangerous as it could cause impaired
windshield vision and result in an
accident. In cold weather, always use
washer fluid with anti-freeze
protection.
NOTE
State or local regulations may restrict
the use of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), which are commonly used as
anti-freeze agents in washer fluid. A
washer fluid with limited VOC content
should be used only if it provides
adequate freeze resistance for all
regions and climates in which the
vehicle will be operated.
Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir; add fluid if necessary.
The top of the float should be between
F and E.

Use plain water if washer fluid is
unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold
weather to prevent it from freezing.
NOTE
Front and rear washer fluid is supplied
from the same reservoir.
