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.

Winter Driving
▼Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper,
flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
check the following:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Coolant on page 6-11.
Inspect the lead-acid battery and its
cables. Cold reduces battery
capacity.
Inspect the EV system for damage
and loose connections.
Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze ―but do not use coolant
antifreeze for washer fluid (page
6-13).
NOTE
Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windshield is dangerous
as it could obstruct vision.
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice
or frozen snow on the mirror glass
and windshield.
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.
Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely a ffected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake
components. If this situation occurs,
drive the vehicle slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to
normal.
▼ Snow Tires
Use snow tires on all 4 wheels
Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75
mph) while driving with snow tires.
In
flate snow tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2,
4.3 psi) more than recommended on
the tire pressure label (rear door on the
driver's side), but never more than the
maximum cold-tire pressure shown on
the tires.
The vehicle is originally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used
all year around. In some extreme
climates you may find it necessary to
replace them with snow tires during
the winter months to further improve
traction on snow and ice covered
roads.
WARNING
Use only the same size and type tires
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all 4
wheels:
Using tires di fferent in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly aff ected and result in
an accident.
CAUTION
Check local regulations before using
studded tires.
NOTE
The tire pressure monitoring system
may not function correctly when using
tires with steel wire reinforcement in
the sidewalls (page 4-181).
▼ Tire Chains
Check local regulations before using
tire chains.

Stopping the EV System
▼When Stopping the EV System
1. Shift the selector lever to the P
position.
2. Press the power switch. The READY
indication is not displayed in the
instrument cluster and the EV
system stops, and then the power
switch is switched OFF.
WARNING
Other than for an emergency
situation, do not attempt to stop the
EV system while driving the vehicle:
If the EV system is stopped while
driving the vehicle, loss of brake power
and power steering functions could
occur, making it di fficult to control the
vehicle which could result in an
accident.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure
that the power switch is switched OFF
(READY indication is not displayed).
NOTE
Key battery
If the system detects that the key's
remaining battery power is low when
the power switch is switched from
ON to ACC or OFF, the KEY indicator
light (green) flashes in the instrument
cluster or the KEY warning indication
is displayed on the multi-information
display.
Refer to Starting the EV System When
the Key Battery is Dead on page 4-6.
Selector lever position
Because the AUTO P (parking lock)
function operates, the power
switch can be switched OFF even
with the selector lever in a position
other than P, however, for reasons
of safety, shift the selector lever to
the P position and then switch the
power switch OFF.
If you switch the power switch OFF
with the selector lever in a position
other than P, a warning sound and
a display indication notify you that
the selector lever position and the
shift position do not match.
Power switch position
If you leave or try to leave the vehicle
without switching the power switch
OFF, the KEY warning light (red) fl ashing , a display indication, and a
warning sound notify you that the
power switch is not switched OFF.
▼ Emergency EV System Stop
Pressing the power switch continuously
or pressing it quickly any number of
times even if the vehicle is not
stopped, will stop the EV system. The
power switch switches to ACC.
