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.

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.

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

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.

Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows approximately
how much fuel is remaining in the tank
when the vehicle power is switched
ON.
When the fuel tank is full, F (Full) is
indicated, and as the level lowers the
needle approaches E (Empty).
NOTE
After refueling , it may require some
time for the indicator to stabilize. In
addition, the indicator may deviate
while driving on a slope or curve
since the fuel moves in the tank.
The direction of the arrow
indicates that the fuel-filler lid is on
the left side of the vehicle.
Dashboard Illumination
When the lights are turned on with the
vehicle power switched ON, the
brightness of the dashboard
illumination is dimmed. However,
when the light sensor detects that the
surrounding area is bright such as
when the lights are turned on in the
daytime, the dashboard illumination
does not dim.
NOTE
When the vehicle power is switched
ON in the early evening or at dusk, the
dashboard illumination is dimmed for
several seconds until the light sensor
detects the brightness of the
surrounding area, however, the
dimming may cancel after the
brightness is detected.
