Jump-Starting
Jump-starting is dangerous if done incorrectly. So follow the procedure carefully. If you
feel unsure about jump-starting, we strongly recommend that you have a competent service
technician do the work.
WARNING
Follow These Precautions Carefully:
To ensure safe and correct handling of the battery, read the following precautions
carefully before using the battery or inspecting it.
Do not allow the positive ( ) terminal to contact any other metal object that
could cause sparks:
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced
during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An
exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries. When working near a battery,
do not allow metal tools to contact the positive (
) or negative () terminal of the
battery.
Keep all fl ames, including cigarettes, and sparks away from open battery cells:
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced
during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An
exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries.
Do not jump-start a frozen battery or one with a low fl uid level:
Jump-starting a frozen battery or one with a low fl uid level is dangerous. It may rupture
or explode, causing serious injury.
Connect the negative lead to a good ground point away from the battery:
Connecting the end of the second jumper lead to the negative (
) terminal of the
discharged battery is dangerous.
A spark could cause the gas around the battery to explode and injure someone.
Route the jumper leads away from parts that will be moving:
Connecting a jumper lead near or to moving parts (cooling fans, belts) is dangerous.
The lead could get caught when the engine starts and cause serious injury.

CAUTION
Use only a 12 V booster system. You can damage a 12 V starter, ignition system, and other
electrical parts beyond repair with a 24 V power supply (two 12 V batteries in series or a
24 V motor generator set).
Connect leads in numerical order and disconnect in reverse order.

If Trouble Arises
Battery Runs Out
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Make sure the booster battery is 12
V and that its negative terminal is
grounded.
3. If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, do not allow both vehicles
to touch. Turn off the engine of the
vehicle with the booster battery and
all unnecessary electrical loads in both
vehicles.
4. Connect the jumper leads in the exact
sequence as in the illustration.
 

 
 Connect one end of a lead to the
positive terminal on the discharged
battery (1).
 

 
 Attach the other end to the positive
terminal on the booster battery (2).
 

 
 Connect one end of the other lead to
the negative terminal of the booster
battery (3).
 

 
 Connect the other end to the ground
point indicated in the illustration away
from the discharged battery (4).
5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle
and run it a few minutes. Then start the
engine of the other vehicle. 6. (With i-ELOOP system)
The i-ELOOP indicator light may fl ash
after the engine is started. The indicator
light turns off when the engine is
running and the charging is completed.
Make sure the i-ELOOP indicator light
is turns off before driving.
NOTE
  If the vehicle is driven with the
i-ELOOP indicator light fl ashing, a
beep sound is heard.
  If the steering wheel is operated with
the i-ELOOP indicator light fl ashing,
it may feel heavier than normal,
however, this does not indicate a
malfunction. The steering operation
will return to normal when the
i-ELOOP indicator light turns off.
  Do not remove the jumper leads
while the i-ELOOP indicator light is
fl ashing.
7. When fi nished, carefully disconnect the
leads in the reverse order described in
the illustration.
8. If the battery cover has been removed,
install it in the reverse order of
removal.
NOTE
Verify that the covers are securely
installed.

If Trouble Arises
Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
Signal Warning
ABS Warning Light If the ABS warning light stays on while you're driving, the ABS control unit has detected a
system malfunction. If this occurs, your brakes will function normally as if the vehicle had
no ABS.
Should this happen, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer as soon as possible.
NOTE
When the engine is jump-started to charge the battery, uneven rpm occurs and the ABS
warning light may illuminate. If this occurs, it is the result of the weak battery and
does not indicate an ABS malfunction.
Recharge the battery.
(With DSC vehicles)
The brake assist system does not operate while the ABS warning light is illuminated.
Check Engine Light If this light illuminates while driving, the vehicle may have a problem. It is important to
note the driving conditions when the light illuminated and consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
The check engine light may illuminate in the following cases:
The fuel tank level being very low or approaching empty. The engine's electrical system has a problem. The emission control system has a problem.
If the check engine light remains on, or it fl ashes continuously , do not drive at high speeds
and consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as
possible.

exited the vehicle (driver's seat belt is unfastened and driver's door is opened), consult an
expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
When fl ashing
The light fl ashes if there is any malfunction in the i-stop system. Consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

turns off when the system is turned off. The light stays on if the system has a malfunction.
Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

This warning light may illuminate as a result of a temporary decrease in the sensitivity
of the radar sensor due to bad weather or dirt on the bumper surface. However, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
