Charging the M Hybrid battery
The M Hybrid battery is charged
automatically by the engine power and
deceleration regeneration. Therefore, it
is not necessary to charge the battery
from outside of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Drive the vehicle for about 30 minutes
once every few months because
self-discharge occurs gradually if the
vehicle is not driven for a long period
of time. If the M Hybrid battery
becomes completely discharged and
M Hybrid cannot be activated, contact
an expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
▼M Hybrid Precautions
For vehicle maintenance or repairs, or
when scrapping the vehicle, consult an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
Handling the M Hybrid battery
Technical knowledge and skill are
necessary in handling the M Hybrid
battery.

the M Hybrid battery, always heed the
following precautions:
¾Do not remove the M Hybrid battery.
¾Do not resell, transfer, or modify the
M Hybrid battery.
¾Do not use the battery on vehicles
other than those equipped with the
M Hybrid battery.
If the M Hybrid battery is not handled
properly, the following may occur and
cause serious injury:
¾Touching an unattended or illegally
abandoned M Hybrid battery may
cause electrocution.
¾If the M Hybrid battery is used on a
vehicle other than one equipped
with M Hybrid (including modified
vehicles), accidents such as
electrocution, heat generation,
smoking, combustion, and
explosions, or an electrolyte leakage
may occur.
Scrapping Your Vehicle and Disposing
of the M Hybrid battery
The M Hybrid battery is salvaged to
prevent accidents involving it. When
scrapping your vehicle, replacing the M
Hybrid battery, or disposing of the M
Hybrid battery, consult an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer). Please
cooperate in ensuring that the vehicle's
M Hybrid battery is salvaged.
WARNING
Dispose of the M Hybrid battery
appropriately:
If the M Hybrid battery is not salvaged
and disposed of appropriately, such as
by leaving it unattended or illegally
abandoning it, some other person may
touch it which could cause
electrocution leading to serious injury.
If an Accident Occurs
If the vehicle receives an impact of a
certain level or greater in a collision, M
Hybrid may stops. In this case, the
charging system warning light turns on
and M Hybrid cannot activate. Park the
vehicle in a safe place immediately and
contact an expert repairer (we
When Driving
M Hybrid
4-88

recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer).
WARNING
Never touch the areas where high
current is flowing:
Never touch a M Hybrid related part.
Otherwise, it could lead to an
electrical shock or burns causing
serious injury.
Never touch electrical wiring that may
be protruding into or outside of the
cabin:
Otherwise, it could lead to an
electrical shock or burns causing
serious injury.
Never touch any area where
electrolyte is visible or electrolyte is
leaking from the area:
If any electrolyte from the M Hybrid
battery gets in the eyes or on the skin,
it could cause loss of vision or skin
reactions. In the unlikely event that
electrolyte comes into contact with the
eyes or skin, flush with large quantities
of water immediately and seek
immediate medical attention.
Do not come near the vehicle if
electrolyte is leaking from the M
Hybrid battery:
Even if the M Hybrid battery is
damaged, large quantities of
electrolyte will not flow out due to the
internal structure of the battery,
however, in the unlikely event that it
does, it will produce steam. The steam
contains properties that can irritate the
eyes and skin, and could cause acute
poisoning if absorbed.
Never approach objects that are on
fire or extremely hot:
Electrolyte in the M Hybrid battery may
cause a fire.
If the vehicle catches fire, extinguish
the fire using an ABC fire
extinguisher:
Only extinguish a fire with water when
large amounts of water is available
such as from a fire hydrant.

Front Side Radar Sensor*
▼Front Side Radar Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with front
side radar sensor. The following
systems also use the front side radar
sensor.
xFront Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA)
The front side radar sensor function by
detecting the radio waves reflected off
a vehicle approaching from the front or
an obstruction sent from the radar
sensor.
1. Front side radar sensor

The front side radar sensors are
installed inside the front bumper, one
on each side.
Always keep the surface of the front
bumper near the front side radar
sensors clean so that they operate
normally. Also, do not apply items such
as stickers.
Refer to Exterior Care on page 6-54.
CAUTION
If the front bumper receives a severe

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
4-222*Some models.

Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre
maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tyre
pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tyre
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tyre pressure
telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tyre pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of
replacement or alternate tyres or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tyres or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or
alternate tyres and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function
properly.
¾To avoid false readings, the system
samples for a little while before
indicating a problem. As a result it
will not instantaneously register a
rapid tyre deflation or blow out.▼If there is a problem with the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
If the TPMS warning light flashes, there
may be a problem with the system.
Consult an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) to have the system inspected.
Refer to Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Warning Indication/
Warning Light (Flashing) on page
7-57.
In the following cases, the system
cannot recognise the tyre pressures
correctly and the TPMS warning light
may flash.
xThere is equipment or a device
nearby emitting radio signals the
same as a tyre pressure sensor.
xA metallic object such as a
non-genuine electronic device is
installed near the centre of the
instrument panel (obstructs the radio
signals from the tyre pressure sensors
to the receiver).
xA device such as one of the following
is used in the cabin.
xElectronic devices such as a
computer.
xConverter devices such as a
DC-AC converter.
xThere is a large accumulation of
snow or ice around the vehicle tyres.
xThe battery in a tyre pressure sensor
is dead.
xA wheel not equipped with a tyre
pressure sensor is used.
xTyres employing steel in the sidewall
of the tyre are installed.
xTyre chains are used.
