Be very careful of high temperature areas.
The hybrid system and the engine become hot when they operate. Follow the
instructions on the label attached to the vehicle and always pay attention to high
voltage areas and high temperature areas.
Do not touch the service plug.
A service plug is installed in the high voltage battery. This service plug is used at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer when repairing vehicles in order to cut off the high voltage
of the high voltage battery. Do not touch the service plug. If you handle the service
plug mistakenly, it could lead to an electrical shock causing serious injury or death.
1. Service plug
Maintenance and Repairs
For vehicle maintenance or repairs, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Technical knowledge and skill are necessary in handling the high voltage battery.
WARNING
To ensure safe and correct handling of the high voltage battery, always heed the
following precautions.
 Do not remove the high voltage battery.
 Do not resell, transfer, or modify the high voltage battery.
 Do not make secondary use of the high voltage batter.
If the drive battery is not handled properly, the following may occur which could
lead to serious injury or death.
 Touching an unattended high voltage battery may cause an electric shock.
 If the high voltage battery is used on a vehicle other than the one it came
equipped on (including modified vehicles), accidents such as electric shock, heat
generation, smoking, combustion, and explosions, or an electrolyte leakage may
occur.
Heed the following instructions to prevent deterioration of the high voltage battery
or damage to the high voltage battery.
Do not leave the vehicle for a long time under extremely high or low temperature
conditions.
Do not leave the vehicle for 14 days or longer while the high voltage battery power
gauge is at Empty (level 0).

If an Accident Occurs
Heed the following cautions to prevent serious injury such as electric shock, or in the
worst case death.
WARNING
Do not continue to drive the vehicle.
To prevent further accidents, stop the vehicle in a safe place, shift the selector lever
to the P position, and then apply the parking brake to stop the hybrid system.
Never touch electrical wiring that may be protruding into or outside of the cabin.
Otherwise, it could result in electrical shock and serious injury.
Never touch any area where electrolyte is visible or electrolyte is leaking from the
area.
If electrolyte from the high voltage battery gets in the eyes or on the skin, it could
cause loss of vision or skin reactions. If electrolyte comes into contact with the eyes,
do not rub them, and after flushing with water for 15 minutes or longer, seek
medical attention immediately. In addition, if electrolyte comes into contact with
the skin, wash the areas with soap and wate r thoroughly. If you feel any abnormality
in your body, seek medical attention immediately.
Never approach objects that are on fire or extremely hot.
Electrolyte in the high voltage battery may cause a fire. If the vehicle catches fire,
extinguish the fire using a fire extinguisher (type ABC, BC, or C). Only extinguish a
fire with water when a large amount of water is available such as from a fire hydrant.
Using a small amount of water may cause the fire to spread.
Do not tow the vehicle with the front wheels or the rear wheels grounded.
Otherwise, the motor generates electricity which may cause a fire depending on the
condition of the damage. When towing the vehicle, tow it with all 4 wheels off the
ground.
Do not start the hybrid system if there is liquid leaking from the vehicle (other than
air conditioner water).
If liquid leakage (other than air conditioner water) is found on the road surface
under the vehicle, the fuel system may be damaged. Starting the hybrid system in
this condition, may cause a fire. Do not start the hybrid system and contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Scrapping Your Vehicle and Disposing of High Voltage Battery
The high voltage battery is collected to prevent accidents involving it. When
scrapping your vehicle, replacing the high voltage battery, or disposing of the high
voltage battery, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer. Please cooperate in ensuring
that the vehicle's high voltage battery is collected.

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
