hitch. In addition, it may take some
time until the connection is detected
and TOWING mode is displayed.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for details.
Depending on driving conditions
when selecting TOWING mode/
SPORT mode/OFF-ROAD mode, the
vehicle may perform shift-down or
accelerate slightly.
When SPORT mode/OFF-ROAD
mode is selected, driving the vehicle
at higher engine speeds increases
and fuel economy may worsen.
Canceling SPORT mode/OFF-ROAD
mode during normal driving is
recommended.
When setting the Mazda Radar
Cruise Control (MRCC) while driving
in SPORT mode, the mode is
switched to NORMAL mode. In
addition, while the MRCC is being
used, the mode cannot be switched
to SPORT mode.
Switching to EV mode may not be
possible depending on the driving
operations, driving conditions, and
high voltage battery condition.
When the system determines that
the engine needs to be started while
the vehicle is being driven in EV
mode, the mode is switched to
NORMAL mode.
The remaining distance-to-full
discharge for EV mode may
decrease, even when the vehicle is
being driven in a mode other than
EV mode.
The maximum speed in EV mode is
140 km/h (86 mph).
The drive mode cannot be switched
in the following cases.
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) is
operating.
The Traction Control System (TCS)
is operating.
The Dynamic Stability Control
(DSC) is operating.
The steering wheel is being
operated abruptly.
The driving mode in which the
display in the instrument cluster is
grayed out cannot be selected.
When the vehicle power is switched
OFF, the mode returns to NORMAL
mode. However, TOWING mode
before switching the vehicle power
OFF is maintained only when the
trailer is connected in TOWING
mode.

Warnings and CautionsFor Charging
WARNING
For occupants who use any medical
device such as an implanted-type
heart pacer or defibrillator, ask a
doctor or manufacturer of the device
about how the medical device may be
affected by the charging operation.
Otherwise, the operation of the
medical device could be affected
resulting in an accident.
For occupants who use any medical
device such as an implanted-type
heart pacer or defibrillator, do not
enter the cabin including the luggage
compartment while charging.
Otherwise, the operation of the
medical device could be affected
resulting in an accident.
Do not disassemble or modify the
charge port and the charge cable.
Otherwise, it could lead to an
electrical shock resulting in an
accident.
Always heed the following when
charging.
Otherwise, it could lead to an
electrical shock resulting in an
accident.
Never allow children to charge the
battery.
 Do not charge the battery while the
vehicle is covered with a car cover.
Always heed the following when
charging in the rain or snow.
Otherwise, it could lead to an
electrical shock resulting in an
accident.
 Do not charge the battery outside if
there is the possibility of heavy rain,
strong winds, or lightning.
 Remove water with a clean cloth if
the charge connector or charge plug
is wet.
 Do not touch the charge port or
charge cable with wet hands.
 If the outlet is covered with snow
while charging, turn
off the power
such as turning off the breaker,
remove the snow, and then remove
the charge plug.
Refer to the instruction manual
accompanying the charge cable and
use the charge cable correctly.
If you handle the charge cable
mistakenly, it could result in an
unexpected accident.
Do not use the charge cable if it has
any of the following malfunctions.
Otherwise, it could lead to an
electrical shock resulting in an
accident.
 The charge connector is rusted or
corroded.
 The charge connector is damaged or
foreign matter penetrates the charge
connector.
Always heed the following when
using the charge cable.
Otherwise, the charge cable could be

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.
