battery MAZDA CX90 2024 Service Manual

Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
check the following:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Inspecting the Coolant on
page 9-14.
Inspect the battery and its cables.
Cold reduces battery capacity.
Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that
the vehicle will be driven in (page
9-18).
Inspect the ignition system for
damage and loose connections.
Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze―but do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid
(page 9-17).
When driving on ice or in water, snow,
mud, sand, or similar hazards:
Be cautious and allow extra distance
for braking.
Avoid sudden braking and sudden
maneuvering.
Do not pump the brakes. Continue
to press down on the brake pedal.
Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS)
on page 5-84.
If you get stuck, select a lower gear
and accelerate slowly. Do not spin
the rear wheels.
For more traction in starting on
slippery surfaces such as ice or
packed snow, use sand, rock salt,
chains, carpeting, or other nonslip
material under the rear wheels.
NOTE
Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windshield is dangerous
as it could obstruct vision.
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice
or frozen snow on the mirror glass
and windshield.
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.
Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake
components. If this situation occurs,
drive the vehicle slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to
normal.

Convenient Ways to Usethe Fully AutomaticClimate Control
Cabin Preconditioning
Cabin preconditioning is a collective
term regarding use of the climate
control timer and the remote climate
control.
While the climate control timer or the
remote climate control is operating ,
you can check the setting status on
your Smartphone.
Climate Control Timer
By setting the departure time using
Mazda Connect, the climate control
system operates and adjusts the cabin
temperature by the departure time.
The departure time, day, set
temperature, and defroster operation/
non-operation can be personalized,
and 7 types of patterns can be
programmed in advance.
Remote Climate Control
Using your Smartphone, you can turn
on the climate control system remotely
before departing.
WARNING
Do not operate the cabin
preconditioning with people or pets
in the vehicle.
The cabin preconditioning may stop
automatically due to the vehicle
conditions and the surrounding
environment. If the climate control
system stops and the temperature
inside the vehicle increases or
decreases, it could cause a serious
medical condition such as heat
exhaustion and dehydration.
CAUTION
 If any of the following conditions is
met, the cabin preconditioning will
not operate. In addition, if the cabin
preconditioning is operating, it will
stop. However, if the liftgate is
opened while the cabin
preconditioning is operating, the
cabin preconditioning will not stop.
When the cabin preconditioning
does not operate or stops, the cabin
preconditioning cancel display is
indicated on the display.
 The high voltage battery or the
lead-acid battery charge is low
 The doors/liftgate are open
 The vehicle power is switched to a
position other than OFF
 There is a problem with the vehicle
 If any of the following conditions is
met, the climate control system will
not operate effectively and the cabin
temperature may not reach the set
temperature.
 Your power consumption is high
 Extremely high or low
temperatures
 The climate control system operates
so that it reaches the set temperature
at the departure time, and stops at
the departure time. The cabin
temperature may not reach the set
temperature if you get in the vehicle
earlier or later than the set departure
time.
 If you operate the cabin
preconditioning while charging the
vehicle, it could take more time to
charge the battery. In addition, when
it is extremely hot or cold, the power
consumption of the climate control
system is high, therefore the charge
amount may be less than the preset
charge amount.

How to Use the
HomeLink Wireless Control System
Programming the HomeLink System
The HomeLink system provides 3
buttons which can be individually
selected and programmed using the
transmitters for current, on-market
devices as follows:
1. Verify that there is a remote control transmitter available for the device
you would like to program.
NOTE
It is recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being
programmed to HomeLink for
quicker training and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency
signal.
2. Press and release the HomeLink button you would like to program.
The indicator light flashes slowly in
amber when the button is pressed.
1. Indicator light
2. HomeLink button
3. Hold the hand-held transmitter 3 to 7 cm (1.2 to 2.7 in) away from the
HomeLink button you would like to
program while keeping the
indicator light in view.
NOTE
Depending on the hand-held
transmitter, it may be easier to do
the programming by holding it
about 20 cm (7.9 in) away from the
HomeLink button.
4. Press the hand-held transmitter button continuously until the
indicator light changes from amber
(flashing) to green (on/flashing).
NOTE
Some gate operators and garage
door openers may require you to
replace this Programming Step 4
with procedures noted in the “Gate
Operator/Canadian Programming”
section.
5. Press the HomeLink button again to check if the programming has been
completed.
If the indicator light remains on in
green, the programming is
complete and the device becomes
operational.
If the indicator light flashes rapidly
in green, firmly press and hold the
Homelink button and release it
after two seconds have passed.
Repeat this process up to three
times to complete the
programming. The device becomes
operational and programming is
complete. If the device does not
operate, go to the next step.
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the “learn” or “smart” button.
This can usually be found where the
hanging antenna wire is attached to
the motor-head unit.
7. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and
color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.)
