Electric Vehicles
▼Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles are driven by motor power using the electrical power stored in the
high voltage battery. This vehicle is an
eco-friendly vehicle which emits no exhaust
gas because fuel is not used.
1. Motor, Regenerative braking
2. High voltage battery
3. Approaching vehicle audible system
Motor
The motor transmits the motor power to the wheels using the electrical power of the
high voltage battery.
Regenerative braking
Regenerative braking uses the motor to decelerate the vehicle. Power is generated
by the wheels rotating the motor while decelerating and the generated power
charges the high voltage battery.
Refer to Steering Wheel Paddle on page 3-7.
High voltage battery
The high voltage battery is a large-capacity battery and stores the charged power and
the electrical power generated by regenerative braking.

Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS)
▼Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
The TPMS monitors the air pressure of
each tire and if it decreases below the
speci
fied value, the system
notifies the
driver by turning on the TPMS warning
light in the instrument cluster and
indicating a message on the
multi-information display.
For the TPMS, the air pressure data
sent from the tire pressure sensors
installed on each wheel via radio signal
is received by the receiver unit in the
vehicle to monitor the tire pressures.
1. Tire pressure sensors
In addition, the current tire pressures
can be checked using the center
display.
Refer to the Vehicle Status Monitor
section in the Mazda Connect
Owner's Manual.
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is
low, the tire temperatures also
decrease. If the tire temperatures
decrease, the air pressure in the tires
will also decrease which could turn
on the TPMS warning light.
Before driving, visually inspect the
tires for abnormalities. Additionally,
inspect the tire pressures monthly. A
digital type air pressure gauge is
recommended for inspecting the tire
pressures.
The TPMS is not a substitute for your
own periodic inspection of the tires.
Always inspect the tires yourself
periodically.
CAUTION
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and
inflated to
the in flation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or
tire in flation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire in flation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly
under-in flated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible,
and in flate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a signi ficantly
under-in flated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-in flation also reduces fuel
e ffi ciency and tire tread life, and may
a ff ect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.

fications from the vehicle. The number of noti fica-
tions is displayed, and if they exceed 100, 99+ is displayed. If a serious
problem occurs, the background color changes to amber or red.
(4) Communication By connecting your mobile device, such as a Smartphone, to Mazda

(5) Navigation The navigation system (vehicles with navigation system) can be used
when the SD card for the navigation system is inserted.
If the SD card for the navigation system is not inserted, the compass in-
dicating the direction in which the ve
hicle is moving is displayed. The
compass may not indicate the correct bearing when the vehicle is stop-
ped or traveling at a slow speed.
For the navigation system operation, refer to the navigation system
manual.
