CAUTION
If the KEY warning light (red) is
displayed, or the power switch
indicator light (amber) flashes, this
could indicate a problem with the
hybrid starting system. This may
prevent the hybrid system from
starting or from switching the vehicle
power position to ACC or ON. Have
your vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
Refer to KEY Warning Light (Red) on
page 8-48.
 Before leaving the vehicle, make sure
that the vehicle power is switched
OFF.
How to Use the Power
Switch
The power switch starts/stops the
hybrid system and switches the vehicle
power position depending on the
vehicle status and the driver's
operation.
Starting the Hybrid system
1. Make sure that the parking brake isapplied.
2. Make sure that the selector lever is in the P position.
3. Depress the brake pedal. The power switch indicator light
(green) and the KEY indicator light
(green)
in the instrument
cluster turn on.
4.
The hybrid system starts and the
KEY indicator light (green)
in
the instrument cluster turns off.
The READY indicator light
in the instrument cluster turns on.
NOTE
Do not use high engine speeds until
reaching the operating temperature.

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.

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.

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.
1. Service plug
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).

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.

How to Use the
e-SKYACTIV PHEV
Switching the Drive Mode
You can switch the drive mode of the
hybrid system by operating the switch.
TOWING mode/SPORT mode/
NORMAL mode/EV mode/
OFF-ROAD mode
Refer to How to Use the Mazda
intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) on
page 5-96.
CHARGE Mode
The engine is used as a generator, and
the vehicle is driven while charging the
high voltage battery.
1. Start the hybrid system.
2.
When CHARGE mode is activated, the
CHARGE mode indicator light
in
the instrument cluster turns on.
Power is generated to the preset target
charge amount, and when the target
charge amount is reached, power is
generated to maintain it.
NOTE
Switching to CHARGE mode may not
be possible depending on the
conditions of the hybrid system.
When power consumption is high
due to the vehicle driving conditions,
outside air temperature, or when the
air conditioner is used, charging may
take longer than usual or may not
occur.
When the vehicle is driven while in
CHARGE mode, the engine operates
to generate electricity, therefore fuel
consumption may increase
compared to when driving the
vehicle in a mode other than
CHARGE mode.
If the vehicle power is switched OFF
while switching the mode to
CHARGE mode, the CHARGE mode
will be canceled the next time the
vehicle power is switched ON.
When pressing the charge mode
switch while the Mazda intelligent
Drive Select (Mi-Drive) is in EV
mode, the Mi-Drive switches to
NORMAL mode and the vehicle is
driven in CHARGE mode.
The mode may not be able to switch
to CHARGE mode when the fuel is
low.
The target charge amount can be
changed.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.

POWER gauge
Displays the energy used by the motor
or engine for driving. The higher the
output, the more the power meter
needle moves to the right. The more
the power meter needle moves to the
right, the easier it is to start the engine.
CHARGE gauge
Displays the energy charged in the high
voltage battery by regenerative braking.
The higher the charge, the more the
power meter needle moves
downward.
Boost indicator light
The light turns on when the energy
used for driving is at maximum output.
EV drive indicator light
The light turns on when the vehicle is
being driven using only the motor.
CHARGE mode indicator light
The light turns on when the vehicle is
being driven in CHARGE mode.
Approaching Vehicle Audible System
When the vehicle is driven at low
speeds, a warning sound is
automatically activated to warn that a
vehicle is approaching.
1. Start the hybrid system.
2. Shift the selector lever to a position other than P.
A warning sound is activated and stops
when the vehicle speed reaches 41
km/h (26 mph) or faster.
