Your vehicle is equipped with front
passenger seat weight sensors. Even
with the front passenger seat weight
sensors, if you must use the front
passenger seat to seat a child, using a
child-restraint system on the front
passenger seat un der the following
conditions increases the danger of the
front passenger air bag deploying and
could result in serious injury or death

Mazda intelligent DriveSelect (Mi-Drive)
Mi-Drive is a system that switches the
drive modes depending on the driving
conditions, road conditions and
vehicle conditions. The Mi-Drive has
the following driving modes.
TOWING Mode
*
The vehicle is driven with both engine
and motor power to optimize its
power performance. This mode
reduces the loss of driving
performance due to increased weight
when towing a trailer and improves the
vehicle stability.
SPORT Mode
The vehicle is driven with both engine
and motor power to optimize its
maneuverability performance. This
mode increases vehicle response when
the accelerator pedal is depressed and
accelerates powerfully.
NORMAL Mode
The vehicle is driven so that the engine
and motor are efficiently controlled to
optimize fuel efficiency. If necessary,
the motor can be used as a generator
to charge the high voltage battery. In
addition, when the accelerator pedal is
depressed, the vehicle accelerates
using both engine and motor power.
When the vehicle is driven in NORMAL
mode only by motor power, the EV
drive indicator light
in the
instrument cluster turns on.
EV Mode
The vehicle is driven by motor power
using the electrical power stored in the
high voltage battery.
OFF-ROAD Mode
The vehicle is driven with both engine
and motor power to optimize its
power performance. This mode
prevents the drive wheels from
spinning during off-road driving and
improves the running performance.

When inserting/pulling out the
charge connector and the charge
plug, do not twist them excessively.
 Do not apply excessive force to the
connected charge connector such as
by applying your weight.
 Keep objects which generates
intense heat (such as a heater or
cigarette) away from the charge
cable.
 Do not apply orga nic solvents, acid
or alkaline agents to the charge
cable.
CAUTION
 Do not connect the booster cable to
the lead-acid battery or remove the
lead-acid battery while charging the
high voltage battery. Otherwise, the
vehicle or charging device could be
damaged.
 If the charge connector is removed
after the charging is
finished, close
the charging port cap immediately. If
the charging port lid is closed with
the charging port cap open, water or
foreign matter may enter the
charging inlet causing a malfunction.
 Always make sure that the charge
cable is not connected to the vehicle
before driving. If the charge
connector is connected correctly, the
vehicle cannot be driven. However, if
it is not connected completely, the
vehicle can be driven, which could
result in an accident.
 If the charging port is frozen shut,
defrost the port using a hair dryer. If
the charge cable is inserted/pulled
out with the charging inlet frozen, it
could cause damage.

Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Towing
WARNING
Always keep tow loads within
specified limits as indicated in the
Trailer Towing-Load Table:
Attempting to tow loads greater than
those specified is dangerous as it may
cause serious handling and
performance problems that could
result in personal injury or vehicle
damage, or both.
Load your trailer with the weight
about 60 % toward the front and
40 % toward the rear:
Loading the trailer with more weight in
the rear than in the front is dangerous.
Doing so could cause you to lose
control. The trailer tongue load must
be 10 % ―15 % of the total trailer load
(sum of the weights of the trailer and
cargo).
Always have the total trailer weight
and tongue load determined prior to
departure:
Attempting to tow loads without
determining the total trailer weight and
tongue load is dangerous. Trailer sway
from crosswinds, rough roads or other
causes could result in loss of control
and a serious accident.
Always make sure the trailer hitch is
securely attached before departure:
An unsecured trailer hitch is dangerous
as it causes greater trailer sway from
crosswinds, rough roads or other
causes, resulting in loss of control and
a serious accident.
Examine all trailer-hitch mounting
bolts regularly and tighten any that are
loose. If the hitch is removed, seal any
open mounting holes to prevent
exhaust, dust, water, dirt and other
foreign elements from filtering in,
possibly endangering personal safety
and damaging your vehicle.
Do not install a hitch that stiffens the
bumper as it will reduce the bumper's
performance.
Make sure there are no exhaust gas
leaks into the passenger compartment
if any mounting bolts are connected
to the body:
Modifying your vehicle exhaust system
is dangerous. Exhaust gas entering the
vehicle could cause loss of
consciousness or even death.
When mounting the trailer hitch, make
no modifications to the vehicle exhaust
system.
Never use the temporary spare tire
when towing:
Using the temporary spare tire on your
vehicle when towing a trailer is
dangerous as it could result in tire
failure, loss of control, and injury to
vehicle occupants.
Make sure the safety chain is securely
attached to both the trailer and the
vehicle prior to departure:
Towing a trailer without using a safety
chain securely attached to both the
trailer and the vehicle is dangerous. If
damage occurs to the coupling unit or
hitch ball, the trailer could wander into
another lane and cause a collision.
