10.Inverter
Be very careful of high temperature areas:
Always follow the instructions on the labels inside the motor compartment. After
driving , the motor temp erature may be high.
Do not open the hood while the EV system or Climate Control Timer is operating
or during timer charging, normal charging, or quick charging:
The cooling fan in the motor compartment may rotate suddenly and your hand,
clothes, or accessories may touch the fan or become caught, resulting in serious
injury or death.
▼ Maintenance and Repairs
For vehicle maintenance or repairs,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Technical knowledge and skill are
necessary in handling the high voltage
battery.
WARNING
To ensure safe and correct handling of
the high voltage battery, always heed
the following precautions:
Do not remove the high voltage
battery.
Do not resell, transfer, or modify the
high voltage battery.
Do not use the battery on vehicles
other than those equipped with the
high voltage battery.
If the high voltage battery is not
handled properly, the following may
occur which could lead to serious
injury or death:
Touching an unattended high voltage
battery may cause an electrical shock
accident.
If the high voltage battery is used on
a vehicle other than one equipped
(including
modified vehicles) with a
high voltage battery, an electrical
shock accident, heat generation,
smoking, combustion, and
explosions, or an electrolyte leakage
may occur.
Heed the following instructions to
prevent deterioration of the high
voltage battery or damage to the high
voltage battery.
Do not leave the vehicle for a long
time under extremely high or low
temperature conditions.
Do not leave the vehicle for 14 days
or longer while the high voltage
battery is at 0 (zero) charge.
NOTE
The high voltage battery has a certain
battery life. The battery life di ffers
depending on how the vehicle is used
and the driving conditions.
▼ Scrapping Your Vehicle and
Disposing of the High Voltage
Battery
The high voltage battery is collected to
prevent accidents involving it. When
scrapping your vehicle or replacing the
high voltage battery, consult
Authorized Mazda Dealer. Please

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.

NOTE
When the driver's door is locked using
any of the following functions, the
charge lid is also locked at the same
time.
Vehicle speed sensing auto door lock
function
Auto re-lock function
Quick charge port
The quick charge port is the part to
which the connector of the quick
charger is connected. This is used for
quick charging.
Battery heater
The battery heater is designed to
maintain the appropriate high voltage
battery temperature.
Because the driving performance and
the charging performance decrease if
the high voltage battery temperature
decreases, decreases in their
performance are reduced by
maintaining the appropriate high
voltage battery temperature using the
battery heater.
When the high voltage battery
temperature decreases signi ficantly
while parking or charging , the battery
heater operates. When the
temperature increases to the speci fied
value, the heater turns o ff.
However, when the high voltage
battery level is low, the battery heater
does not operate.
NOTE
Because the electrical power of the
high voltage battery is used by the
battery heater, we recommend that
the charge connector is left
connected to the vehicle when
parked in a location where charging
is available.
If the vehicle is not used for a long
period of time, we recommend that
the battery heater is turned o ff using
[Settings] in Mazda Connect.
When the battery heater operates,
the charging time could take longer.
Battery cooling
If the high voltage battery temperature
reaches 40 ℃ (104 ℉) or higher after
driving the vehicle, it is possible to cool
the high voltage battery while the
vehicle is parked for maintaining a long
high voltage battery life.
If the Excessive Battery Temperature
noti fication is displayed on the center
display after completing a trip, select
Start to operate the battery cooling.
NOTE
Because the electrical power of the
high voltage battery is used by the
battery cooling , we recommend that
the charge connector is connected to
the vehicle while the battery cooling is
operating , when parked in a location
where charging is available.
▼ Charging
Charging type
There are two methods of charging the
high voltage battery, normal charging
and quick charging.
We recommend that you use normal
charging as the preferred charging
method as this will help to keep the
high voltage battery in optimal
condition and maintain a long battery
life.
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
