Starting the EV System
▼Before Starting the EV System
1. Make sure that the parking brake is
applied.
2. Make sure that the selector lever is
in the P position.
NOTE
The EV system cannot be started
when the selector lever is in a
position other than P.
Shift the selector lever to the P
position.
3. Assume the correct driving posture
to make sure that the accelerator
pedal and the brake pedal can be
firmly depressed with the right foot.
Check the pedal positions to make
sure that one cannot be depressed
for the other by mistake.
▼ Starting the EV System
WARNING
Radio waves from the key may a
ffect
medical devices such as pacemakers:
Before using the key near people who
use medical devices, ask the medical
device manufacturer or your physician
if radio waves from the key will aff ect
the device.
NOTE
The EV system can be started
regardless of the power switch
position (OFF, ACC, ON).
The key must be carried by the
driver.
If this function is disabled, the EV
system cannot be started even if the
key is carried. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer for details.
If the function to start the EV system
only by carrying the key is disabled,
the EV system can be started using
the procedure for starting the EV
system when the key battery is dead.
When the charge connector is
connected to the charge port or
during charging, the EV system
cannot be started.
The vehicle can be driven while the
READY indication is displayed in the
instrument cluster.
1. Make sure you are carrying the key.
2. Continue to depress the brake pedal firmly.
3. Make sure that the KEY indicator
light in the instrument cluster and
power switch indicator light (green)
turn on.
When the power switch indicator
light (green) is flashing, the key
battery might be depleted.
Refer to Starting the EV System

You can switch between the odometer
and trip meter display using the TRIP
switch.

Odometer
The odometer records the total
distance the vehicle has been driven.
Tr i p m e t e r
The driving distance for a speci
fied
interval is indicated. Two types (TRIP A,
TRIP B) of interval distance can be
measured.
For instance, trip meter A can record
the distance from the point of origin,
and trip meter B can record the
distance from where the high voltage
battery was charged.
When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. When trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.
The trip meter can be reset by pressing
the TRIP switch for 1.5 seconds or
more while the trip meter is displayed.
NOTE
Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometers (miles).
▼ High Voltage Battery Temperature
Gauge
Displays the high voltage battery
temperature. The blue range of the
gauge indicates that the high voltage
battery temperature is low and the red
range indicates that it is high and
overheating.

NOTE
When the high voltage battery
temperature is high or low, the output
may be restricted to protect the EV
system.
▼High Voltage Battery Power Gauge
The remaining power of the high
voltage battery is indicated when the
power switch is switched ON.
When the high voltage battery is fully
charged, F is indicated. As the level
lowers, the needle approaches E.
When the high voltage battery charge
decreases to 1/4 or lower, we
recommend charging the battery.
1. F (Fully charged)
2. 1/4 charged
3. E (Fully discharged)
When the remaining charge of the high
voltage battery is low, output may be
restricted. If the output is restricted,
charge the battery as soon as possible.
NOTE
After charging, it may require some
time for the needle to stabilize.
The arrow indicates that the
charging port is on the right side.
▼ Dashboard Illumination
When the lights are turned on with the
power switch switched ON, the
brightness of the dashboard
illumination is dimmed. However,
when the light sensor detects that the
surrounding area is bright such as
when the lights are turned on in the
daytime, the dashboard illumination
does not dim.
NOTE
When the power switch is switched
ON in the early evening or at dusk,
the dashboard illumination is
dimmed for several seconds until the
light sensor detects the brightness of
the surrounding area, however, the
dimming may cancel after the
brightness is detected.
When the lights are turned on, the
lights-on indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on.
Refer to Headlights on page 4-35.
The brightness of the instrument panel
and dashboard illuminations can be
adjusted by pressing the dashboard
illumination switch while the
dashboard illumination is dimmed.
The brightness increases by pressing
the + switch.
The brightness decreases by pressing
the - switch. If you press the - switch
while the instrument cluster is at
maximum dimness, a sound is
activated to notify you that the

▼Remaining High Voltage Battery
Powe r I n d i cat i o n
The remaining amount of power in the
high voltage battery is indicated by a
percentage.
▼Distance to full discharge
The remaining distance to full
discharge is calculated and displayed
based on the current, remaining charge
of the high voltage battery and the
energy
effi ciency.
NOTE
The indicated remaining
distance-to-full discharge is an
estimate. The remaining
distance-to-full discharge diff ers
depending on conditions such as the
driving conditions, surrounding
environment, and the climate control
system use. Also, if the needle in the
remaining charge level gauge for the
high voltage battery is near 0 or a
message is displayed on the
multi-information display, charge the
battery as soon as possible even if
the numerical value for the
remaining distance-to-full discharge
is of a suffi cient level.
If there is no past energy
effi ciency
information, such as after first
purchasing your vehicle or the
information was deleted when
disconnecting the lead-acid battery
terminal, the actual remaining
distance to full discharge range may
diff er from the charge level
indicated.
▼ Average Energy
Effi ciency
The average energy e fficiency is
calculated every 30 seconds from the
total traveled distance and the total
electrical power consumption since
the vehicle was purchased or the past
data was reset, and the rate is
displayed.
