Warning and Cautions forUsing the Power Switch
WARNING
Before leaving the driver's seat,
always switch the vehicle power off,
set the parking brake, and make sure
the selector lever is in the P position.
Leaving the driver's seat without
switching the vehicle power off, setting
the parking brake, and shifting the
selector lever to the P position is
dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur which could
result in an accident. In addition, if
your intention is to leave the vehicle for
even a short period, it is important to
switch the vehicle power position to
OFF, as leaving it in another position
will disable some of the vehicle's
security systems and run the lead-acid
battery down.
Radio waves from the key may affect
medical devices such as pacemakers.
Before using the key near people who
use medical devices, ask the medical
device manufacturer or your physician
if radio waves from the key will affect
the device.
Other than for an emergency
situation, do not attempt to stop the
hybrid system while driving the
vehicle.
If the hybrid system is stopped while
driving the vehicle, loss of brake power
and power steering functions could
occur, making it difficult to control the
vehicle which could result in an
accident.

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.

On roads with high driving resistance
such as deep-snowy or sandy roads,
or on steep slopes, a high load is
applied to the transmission, causing
excessive heat generation. Under
these driving conditions, pay
attention to the following points.
 Stop and hold the vehicle on a
steep slope with the brake pedal,
not the accelerator pedal. Do not
use the accelerator pedal to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
 Avoid using the accelerator pedal
and the brake pedal at the same
time.
 Start driving the vehicle in the D or
R position according to the
direction of travel (avoid starting in
manual mode).
If you do not follow the above
precautions, the transmission may
overheat. If a message, such as
transmission cooling, is displayed, it
is necessary to temporarily stop the
vehicle to cool the transmission.How to Use the Selector Lever
