2022 MAZDA MODEL MX-30 EV ev system

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.

MX -30_8JD4-EA -21G_Edition2_new 2021-5-18 14:38:07

Vibration of the brake pedal might
be felt under the following
conditions:
The power switch is switched ON.The brake pedal is operated.

High voltage battery level and
temperature
If the high voltage battery level is low
or the high voltage battery temperature
is low, the vehicle speed may not
increase even if the accelerator pedal is
depressed because the motor output is
restricted. Drive the vehicle following
the instructions displayed on the
multi-information display.

To Extend Cruising Distance
The electrical power consumption
while driving can be reduced and the
cruising distance can be extended by
doing the following operations.
With the charging connector
connected, turn on the climate
control system to provide a
comfortable temperature in the
cabin before driving.
When driving during cold
temperatures, use the seat warmer
or steering warmer instead of the
climate control system.
Adjust the climate control system
to a moderate airflow and
temperature setting.
Refrain from using the defogger
under conditions other than when
a window is fogged or frozen.
Unload unnecessary cargo to
reduce the vehicle weight.
Avoid unnecessary sudden
acceleration, rapid acceleration,
and rapid deceleration. Instead,
perform smooth starts,
acceleration, and deceleration.
Try to drive maintaining a constant
speed and avoid speeding.
Inspect the tire pressures regularly
and always adjust the tire pressures
to the speci fied inflation pressure.
By maintaining a su fficient distance
between vehicles and using the
regenerative braking well, more
electrical power can be charged to
the high voltage battery.

Pointers for Maintaining Long Battery
Life
The high voltage battery life changes
depending on the vehicle conditions or
charging method.
For maintaining a long high voltage
battery life, be careful of the following:
Charging the high voltage battery
Avoid unnecessary, frequent
charging.
Charge the battery normally and
avoid quick charging as much as
possible.
Only charge the battery with as much
power as needed, and do not always
fully charge the battery. The
maximum charge limit can be set.
Refer to Charging Settings on page
3-21.
Pa r k i n g t h e v e h i c l e
Do not park the vehicle in a place
where the ambient temperature is
extremely high or low.
Do not leave the vehicle while the
remaining high voltage battery power
is extremely low.
If the Excessive Battery Temperature noti fication is displayed on the
center display after driving the
vehicle, select Start.

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.

Do not step on the charge cable or
drag it on the ground.
 When inserting/pulling out the
charge connector and the charge
plug, do not twist them excessively.
 Do not apply excessive force to the
connected charge connector such as
by applying your weight.
 Keep objects which generate intense
heat (such as a heater or cigarette)
away from the charge cable.
 Do not apply organic solvents, acid
or alkaline agents to the charge
cable.
CAUTION
Do not connect the booster cable to
the lead-acid battery or remove the
lead-acid battery while charging the
high voltage battery. Otherwise, the
vehicle or charging device could be
damaged.
 If the charge connector is removed
after the charging is
finished, close
the charge port cap immediately. If
the charging lid is closed with the
charge port cap open, water or
foreign matter may enter the charge
port causing a malfunction.
 Always make sure that the charge
cable is not connected to the vehicle
before driving. Because the vehicle
can be driven even while the charge
connector is not connected
completely, it could result in an
accident.
 If the charge port is frozen shut,
defrost the inlet using a hair dryer. If
the charge cable is inserted/pulled
out with the charge port frozen, it
could cause damage.
NOTE
Normal charging and quick charging
cannot be performed at the same
time.
The navigation system and the
climate control system can be used
even while charging. However, the
charging time increases because
electrical power is consumed. In
some cases, power consumption
may exceed the charged amount and
charging may not finish.
If a power outage occurs while
charging, remove the plug and the
charge connector and start charging
from the beginning again.
Make sure that no water has
accumulated in the charge connector
and the charge port before charging.
If any foreign matter enters the
charge connector or the charge port,
do not start charging and consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
▼Preparation Before Charging
This vehicle is driven by consuming the
electrical power stored in the high
voltage battery. Therefore, it is
necessary to charge the high voltage
battery.
