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

For Your Ride Comfort
▼For Your Ride Comfort
If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows to let warm air
escape, then run the climate control
system.
The climate control system measures
inside and outside temperatures,
humidity and sunlight using the
sunlight/temperature sensor. It sets
temperatures inside the cabin
accordingly.
CAUTION
Do not obstruct both sensors,
otherwise the climate control system
will not operate properly.
Sunlight sensor
1. Sunlight sensor
Interior temperature sensor
1. Interior temperature sensor
Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the
air inlet in the cowl grille to improve
the system e
fficiency.
NOTE
If the air flow of the climate control
system significantly decreases, the air
fi lter may be clogged. Replace the air
fi lter.
Use the climate control system to
defog the windows and dehumidify
the air.
Run the air conditioner about 10
minutes at least once a month to
keep internal parts lubricated.
Have the air conditioner checked
before the weather gets hot. Lack of
refrigerant may make the air
conditioner less
effi cient.
The refrigerant specifications are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the motor compartment. If
the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious
malfunction of the air conditioner.
Consult a professional, government
certi fied repairer for the inspection
or repair because a special device is
required for the air conditioner
maintenance.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

If you must run the EV system while
working under the hood, make
certain that you remove all jewelry
(especially rings, bracelets, watches,
and necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose clothing
before getting near the cooling fan
which may turn on unexpectedly:
Working under the hood with the EV
system operating is dangerous. It
becomes even more dangerous when
you wear jewelry, loose clothing or
have long hair or a long beard.
Either can become entangled in
moving parts and result in injury.
Pull over to a safe location, then
switch the power switch o ff and make
sure the fan is not running before
attempting to work near the cooling
fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is
running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running inde finitely even if
the EV system has stopped and the
motor compartment temperature is
high. You could be hit by the fan and
seriously injured.
Do not leave items in the motor
compartment:
After you have finished checking or
doing servicing in the motor
compartment, do not forget and leave
items such as tools or rags in the motor
compartment.
Tools or other items left in the motor
compartment could cause EV system
damage or a fire leading to an
unexpected accident.
Hood
▼ Hood
WARNING
Always check that the hood is closed
and securely locked:
A hood that is not closed and securely
locked is dangerous as it could
fly open
while the vehicle is moving and block
the driver's vision which could result in
a serious accident.
▼ Opening the Hood
1. With the vehicle parked, pull the
release handle to unlock the hood.
2. Insert your hand into the hoodopening, slide the latch lever in the
direction of the allow as shown in

Lubrication system
▼Lubrication system
All moving points on the vehicle body,
such as door and hood hinges and
locks, should be lubricated to move
smoothly.
Use a nonfreezing lubricant on locks
during cold weather.
Make sure the hood's secondary latch
keeps the hood from opening when
the primary latch is released.
Wiper Blades
▼ Wiper Blades
CAUTION
Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to
aff ect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
An operation malfunction may occur
or the wiper
eff ectiveness may be
reduced if a water-repellent coating
is used.
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.
When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the power switch is
switched ON, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched.
If the windshield above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
If the windshield is struck with a
hand or other object.
If the rain sensor is struck with a
hand or other object from inside
the vehicle.
Be careful not to pinch hands or fi ngers as it may cause injury, or
damage the wipers. When washing
or servicing the vehicle, make sure
the wiper lever is in the OFF
position.
Before lifting the windshield wiper
blades off the windshield, always
follow the procedure for moving the
windshield wiper blades. Otherwise,
a wiper blade, wiper arm, or the
hood could be damaged.

Fuses
▼Fuses
Your vehicle's electrical system is
protected by fuses.
If any lights, accessories, or controls do
not work, inspect the appropriate
circuit protector. If a fuse has blown,
the inside element will be melted.
If the same fuse blows again, avoid
using that system and consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
▼Fuse Replacement
Replacing the fuses on the vehicle's
left side
If the electrical system does not work,
fi
rst inspect the fuses on the vehicle's
left side.
1. Make sure the power switch is
switched o ff, and other switches
are off.
2. Open the fuse panel cover.
3. Pull the fuse straight out with the
fuse puller provided on the fuse
block located in the motor
compartment.
4. Inspect the fuse and replace it if it is
blown.
1. Normal
2. Blown
5. Insert a new fuse of the same amperage rat ing , and make sure it
fits tightly. If it does not
fit tightly,
have an expert install it. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow
one of the same rating from a
circuit not essential to vehicle
operation, such as the audio or
accessory socket circuit.
6. Reinstall the cover and make sure that it is securely installed.
Replacing the fuses under the hood
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the fuses
in the cabin are normal, inspect the
fuse block under the hood.
