2022 MAZDA MODEL MX-30 EV warning light

cooperate in ensuring that the vehicle's
high voltage battery is collected.
WARNING
Appropriate disposal of the high
voltage battery:
If the high voltage battery is not
collected and disposed of
appropriately, such as by leaving it
unattended or illegally abandoning it,
some other person may touch it which
could cause an electrical shock
accident leading to serious injury.
▼Accident Occurs
If the vehicle receives an impact of a
certain level or greater in a collision,
the EV system stops. In this case, the
EV system malfunction warning
indication/warning light displays/turns
on and the EV system may not start.
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer
immediately.
WARNING
Never touch electrical wiring that may
be protruding into or outside of the
cabin:
Otherwise, it could result in electrical
shock and serious injury.
Never touch any area where
electrolyte is visible or electrolyte is
leaking from the area:
If any electrolyte from the high voltage
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.
Never approach objects that are on
fi re or extremely hot:
Electrolyte in the high voltage battery
may cause a fire.
If the vehicle catches fire, extinguish
the fire using a fire extinguisher (type
ABC, BC, or C).
Only extinguish a fire with water when
a large amount of water is available
such as from a fire hydrant. Otherwise,
it could lead to an accident.
▼ Advice for Using Electric Vehicles
Unique sound and vibration occurring
with electric vehicles
Electric vehicles have a unique sound
and vibration which di
ffer from
non-electric vehicles. The following
sounds or vibration may occur,
however, this is unique to electric
vehicles and it does not indicate a
problem.
Motor operation sound.Operation sound of coolant pump
and cooling fan while charging.
Operation sound of regenerative
braking.
Relay operation sound when EV
system is started or stopped.
Brake system operation sound and
vibration.
Operation sound of brake system
Sound can be heard from the front of
the vehicle under the following
conditions:
The driver's door is opened.The power switch is switched ON.The brake pedal is operated.The brake system operates
automatically.
Several minutes have passed since
the EV system was stopped.

Particular driving situation
1. Driving on a downward slope or during traffic jams
2. Driving on an upward slope or expressways
NOTE
If the high voltage battery level is high or the high voltage battery temperature is
low, the indication on the multi-informat ion display changes because regenerative
braking is restricted, however, there may be a small change in the regenerative
braking force or no change at all.
The brake lights may turn on when the regenerative braking force is strong.
▼ Approaching vehicle audible
system
The approaching vehicle audible
system noti
fies pedestrians of the
vehicle approaching using a warning
sound while driving at low speeds.
The approaching vehicle audible
system operates under the following
conditions.
The vehicle accelerates from a stop
and the vehicle speed is 30 km/h
(19 mph) or slower.
The vehicle decelerates and the
vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16 mph)
or slower.
You release your foot from the brake
pedal with the selector lever in a
position other than P.
▼ Electronic sound
Electronic sound is a system that uses a
speaker to emit sound into the cabin
to notify the driver of the vehicle's
behavior.
The electronic sound operates when all
of the following conditions are met.
The selector lever is in a position
other than N and P.
All the doors and the liftgate are
closed.
Emergency braking is not being
performed.

Charging
▼Cautions Concerning Charging
WARNING
For occupants who use any medical
device such as an implanted-type
heart pacer or
defibrillator, ask a
doctor or manufacturer of the device
about how the medical device may be
a ff ected by the charging operation:
Otherwise, the operation of the
medical device could be a ffected
resulting in an accident.
For occupants who use any medical
device such as an implanted-type
heart pacer or de fibrillator, do not
enter the cabin including the luggage
compartment while charging:
Otherwise, the operation of the
medical device could be a ffected
resulting in an accident.
Do not disassemble or modify the
charge port and the charge cable:
Otherwise, it could lead to an
electrical shock resulting in an
accident.
Always heed the following when
charging:
Otherwise, it could lead to an
electrical shock resulting in an
accident.
 Never allow children to charge the
high voltage battery.
 Do not charge the high voltage
battery while the vehicle is covered
with a car cover.
Always heed the following when
charging in the rain or snow:
Otherwise, it could lead to an
electrical shock resulting in an
accident.
 Do not charge the high voltage
battery outside if there is the
possibility of heavy rain, strong
winds, or lightning.
 Remove water with a clean cloth if
the charge connector or charge plug
is wet.
 Do not touch the charge port or
charge cable with wet hands.
 If the outlet is covered with snow
while charging, turn o ff the power
such as turning o ff the breaker,
remove the snow, and then remove
the charge plug.
Do not use the charge cable if it has
any of the following malfunctions:
Otherwise, it could lead to an
electrical shock resulting in an
accident.
 The charge connector is rusted or
corroded.
 The charge connector is damaged or
foreign matter penetrates the charge
connector.
Refer to the instruction manual
accompanying the charge cable and
use the charge cable correctly:
If you handle the charge cable
incorrectly, it could result in an
unexpected accident.
Always heed the following when
using the charge cable:
Otherwise, the charge cable could be
damaged resulting in an accident.
 Do not pull out or bend the charge
cable excessively.

conditions, both the battery and
ambient temperature will affect the
required charging time and, in certain
situations, this may lead to a signi ficant
increase in the charging time.
Normal charging
Normal Charging can be performed at
home using either a household power
source such as a wall outlet or wall
box, or similar method (alternating
current). Additionally, charging can be
performed at a public charging facility
using a charger other than a quick
charger (direct current).
When charging is started after the
remaining high voltage battery power
warning indication/warning light turns
on, the time it takes to fully charge the
high voltage battery at a public AC
charging facility is about 5 hours. Using
a household power source for charging
will increase the charging time to fully
charge the high voltage battery.
For normal charging , the charging
timer function can be used to charge
automatically from start to finish.
For details on how to use the charging
timer function, refer to Charging
Settings on page 3-21.
Quick charging
When charging is started at a quick
charging station (DC with 50 kW or
higher) the high voltage battery can be
charged from a 20% to 80% battery
charge level in about 36 minutes. The
exact charging time depends on
various conditions at the time of
charging , such as the type of charger,
battery condition, ch arging patterns, as
well as the battery temperature and
ambient temperature. In cold weather
conditions, both the battery and
ambient temperature will aff ect the
required charging time and, in certainsituations, this may lead to a significant
increase in the charging time.
WARNING
Always heed the following when
using a quick charger:
Otherwise, it could lead to an
accident.
 Do not use a charge cable which
exceeds 30 m (98 ft).
 This vehicle is compatible with quick
chargers with charge cables of 30 m
(98 ft) or shorter and which do not
charge other devices or vehicles at
the same time.

How to perform normal charging
1. Shift the selector lever to the P position.
2. Switch the power switch OFF.
3. Press the location shown in the figure to open the charge lid.
4. Open the normal charge port cap.
