2022 MAZDA MODEL MX-30 EV power steering

NOTE
When returning a rear seat to its
original position, place the seat belt
in its normal position. Verify that the
seat belt pulls out and retracts.
(Power Seat)
The seat-bottom power adjustment
is operated by motors. Avoid
extended operation because
excessive use can damage the
motors.
To prevent the battery from
running down, avoid using the
power adjustment when the EV
system is stopped. The adjuster
uses a large amount of electrical
power.
Do not use the switch to make
more than one adjustment at a
time.

▼Adjusting the Driver's Seat
Using the driving position set up
procedure recommended by Mazda
allows you to maintain a relaxed
posture, drive the vehicle for longer
periods without feeling tired, and
make quick operations naturally.
Also, you can be assured of a clear
view in the forward direction to help
you drive more safely and comfortably.
The adjustments for the driving
position recommended by Mazda are
done using the following procedures.
1. Moving the steering wheel and seat
to their default positions.
2. Adjusting the seatback angle.
3. Adjusting the seat position forward and back.
4. Adjusting the seat height.
5. Adjusting the height on the front edge of the seat bottom.

Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) Precautions
▼ Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) Precautions
The front and side supplemental
restraint systems (SRS) include
different
types of air bags. Please verify the
di fferent types of air bags which are
equipped on your vehicle by locating
the “SRS AIRBAG” location indicators.
These indicators are visible in the area
where the air bags are installed.
The air bags are installed in the
following locations:

The steering wheel hub (driver air
bag)
The front passenger dashboard (front
passenger air bag)
Under the instrument panel (driver
and front passenger knee air bags)
The outboard sides of the front
seatbacks (side air bags)
The front and rear window pillars,
and the roof edge along both sides
(curtain air bags)


The air bag supplemental restraint
systems are designed to provide
supplemental protection in certain
situations so seat belts are always
important in the following ways:

Without seat belt usage, the air bags
cannot provide adequate protection
during an accident. Seat belt usage is
necessary to:
Keep the occupant from being
thrown into an inflating air bag.
Reduce the possibility of injuries
during an accident that is not
designed for air bag in
flation, such as
rear impact.
Reduce the possibility of injuries in
frontal, near frontal or side collisions
or roll-over accidents that are not
severe enough to activate the air
bags.
Reduce the possibility of being
thrown from your vehicle.
Reduce the possibility of injuries to
lower body and legs during an
accident.
Hold the driver in a position which
allows better control of the vehicle.

Refer to the Front Passenger Occupant
Classi fication System (page 2-64) for
details.
The front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates
for a speci fied time after the power
switch is switched ON.


Small children must be protected by a
child-restraint system as stipulated by
law in every state and province. In
certain states and provinces, larger
children must use a child-restraint
system (page 2-35).

Carefully consider which child-restraint
system is necessary for your child and
follow the installation directions in this
Owner's Manual as well as the

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.

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.
