Warning and Cautions forUsing the Power Switch
WARNING
Before leaving the driver's seat,
always switch the vehicle power off,
set the parking brake, and make sure
the selector lever is in the P position.
Leaving the driver's seat without
switching the vehicle power off, setting
the parking brake, and shifting the
selector lever to the P position is
dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur which could
result in an accident. In addition, if
your intention is to leave the vehicle for
even a short period, it is important to
switch the vehicle power position to
OFF, as leaving it in another position
will disable some of the vehicle's
security systems and run the lead-acid
battery down.
Radio waves from the key may affect
medical devices such as pacemakers.
Before using the key near people who
use medical devices, ask the medical
device manufacturer or your physician
if radio waves from the key will affect
the device.
Other than for an emergency
situation, do not attempt to stop the
hybrid system while driving the
vehicle.
If the hybrid system is stopped while
driving the vehicle, loss of brake power
and power steering functions could
occur, making it difficult to control the
vehicle which could result in an
accident.

e-SKYACTIV PHEV
The e-SKYACTIV PHEV is a hybrid
system with the ability to recharge the
battery from an external power supply,
and achieves both excellent fuel
economy and power performance by
efficiently combining EV driving, which
runs solely on electricity, and driving
using both the engine and motor.
The e-SKYACTIV PHEV can supply
power stored in the high voltage
battery to electrical appliances.
Refer to AC Power Outlet (120 V/
1,500 W) on page 7-50.

2. Motor and regenerative braking
3. High voltage battery
4. Charge port
5. AC Power Outlet (120 V/1,500 W)
6. Approaching vehicle audible system
Engine
Depending on the driving condition and driving mode, the engine operates as a
power source or generator for the wheels, and stops when power or power
generation is not required.
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.
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.

Charge port
The charge port connects the charge connector of the charge cable and charges the
high voltage battery with power from an external power supply.
AC Power Outlet (120 V/1,500 W)
The AC power outlet (120 V/1,500 W) provides power for household electrical
appliances while the vehicle power is switched ON (hybrid system off).
Approaching Vehicle Audible System
The approaching vehicle audible system notifies pedestrians of the vehicle
approaching using a warning sound while driving at low speeds.

Be very careful of high temperature areas.
The hybrid system and the engine become hot when they operate. Follow the
instructions on the label attached to the vehicle and always pay attention to high
voltage areas and high temperature areas.
Do not touch the service plug.
A service plug is installed in the high voltage battery. This service plug is used at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer when repairing vehicles in order to cut off the high voltage
of the high voltage battery. Do not touch the service plug. If you handle the service
plug mistakenly, it could lead to an electrical shock causing 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 make secondary use of the high voltage batter.
If the drive 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 electric shock.
 If the high voltage battery is used on a vehicle other than the one it came
equipped on (including modified vehicles), accidents such as electric shock, 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 power
gauge is at Empty (level 0).

If an Accident Occurs
Heed the following cautions to prevent serious injury such as electric shock, or in the
worst case death.
WARNING
Do not continue to drive the vehicle.
To prevent further accidents, stop the vehicle in a safe place, shift the selector lever
to the P position, and then apply the parking brake to stop the hybrid system.
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 electrolyte from the high voltage battery gets in the eyes or on the skin, it could
cause loss of vision or skin reactions. If electrolyte comes into contact with the eyes,
do not rub them, and after flushing with water for 15 minutes or longer, seek
medical attention immediately. In addition, if electrolyte comes into contact with
the skin, wash the areas with soap and wate r thoroughly. If you feel any abnormality
in your body, seek medical attention immediately.
Never approach objects that are on fire 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.
Using a small amount of water may cause the fire to spread.
Do not tow the vehicle with the front wheels or the rear wheels grounded.
Otherwise, the motor generates electricity which may cause a fire depending on the
condition of the damage. When towing the vehicle, tow it with all 4 wheels off the
ground.
Do not start the hybrid system if there is liquid leaking from the vehicle (other than
air conditioner water).
If liquid leakage (other than air conditioner water) is found on the road surface
under the vehicle, the fuel system may be damaged. Starting the hybrid system in
this condition, may cause a fire. Do not start the hybrid system and contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Scrapping Your Vehicle and Disposing of High Voltage Battery
The high voltage battery is collected to prevent accidents involving it. When
scrapping your vehicle, replacing the high voltage battery, or disposing of the high
voltage battery, consult an 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 abando ning it, some other person may touch it
which could cause electrocution leading to serious injury.
Fuel
CAUTION
 The e-SKYACTIV PHEV can be driven on electricity, but depending on the driving
conditions and mode, the vehicle will be driven using the engine and will need to
be refueled. Check the remaining amount of fuel and replenish the fuel if
necessary.
Refer to How to Use the Mazda intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) on page 5-96.
 Depending on the vehicle usage conditions, fuel may remain in the tank for a long
period of time and the quality of the fuel may change. Refuel at least 25 L of fuel
every 12 months (total amount of refueling for 12 months is at least 25 L), as this
may affect parts of the fuel system and the engine.
 If the fuel has not been replenished for a certain period of time and the quality of
the fuel in the fuel tank is expected to change, a message is displayed in the
instrument cluster when the hybrid system is started. When a certain amount of
fuel is consumed, the message displayed in the instrument cluster is no longer
displayed.
