Persons with serious medical
conditions also should wear seat belts.
Check with your doctor for any special
instructions regarding specific medical
conditions.
▼ Emergency Locking Mode
When the seat belt is fastened, it will
always be in the emergency locking
mode.
In the emergency locking mode, the
belt remains comfortable on the
occupant and the retractor will lock in
position during a collision.
If the belt is locked and cannot be
pulled out, retract the belt once, and
then try pulling it out slowly. If this
fails, pull the belt strongly 1 time and
loosen, then pull it out again slowly.
(Seat Belt with Automatic Locking
Mode)
When the seat belt is fastened, it will
always be in the emergency locking
mode until it is switched to automatic
locking mode by pulling it all the way
out to its full length. If the belt feels
tight and hinders comfortable
movement while the vehicle is stopped
or in motion, it may be in the
automatic locking mode because the
belt has been pulled too far out. To
return the belt to the more
comfortable emergency locking mode,
wait until the vehicle has stopped in a
safe, level area, retract the belt fully to
convert it back to emergency locking
mode and then extend it around you
again.
▼
Automatic Locking Mode
Always use the automatic locking
mode to keep the child-restraint
system from shifting to an unsafe

it could lead to an accident.
▼ Advice for Using Electric Vehicles
Unique sound and vibration occurring
with electric vehicles
Electric vehicles have a unique sound
and vibration which di
ffer from
non-electric vehicles. The following
sounds or vibration may occur,
however, this is unique to electric
vehicles and it does not indicate a
problem.
Motor operation sound.Operation sound of coolant pump
and cooling fan while charging.
Operation sound of regenerative
braking.
Relay operation sound when EV
system is started or stopped.
Brake system operation sound and
vibration.
Operation sound of brake system
Sound can be heard from the front of
the vehicle under the following
conditions:
The driver's door is opened.The power switch is switched ON.The brake pedal is operated.The brake system operates

Vibration of the brake pedal might
be felt under the following
conditions:
The power switch is switched ON.The brake pedal is operated.

High voltage battery level and
temperature
If the high voltage battery level is low
or the high voltage battery temperature
is low, the vehicle speed may not
increase even if the accelerator pedal is
depressed because the motor output is
restricted. Drive the vehicle following
the instructions displayed on the
multi-information display.

To Extend Cruising Distance
The electrical power consumption
while driving can be reduced and the
cruising distance can be extended by
doing the following operations.
With the charging connector
connected, turn on the climate
control system to provide a
comfortable temperature in the
cabin before driving.
When driving during cold
temperatures, use the seat warmer
or steering warmer instead of the
climate control system.
Adjust the climate control system
to a moderate airflow and
temperature setting.
Refrain from using the defogger
under conditions other than when
a window is fogged or frozen.
Unload unnecessary cargo to
reduce the vehicle weight.
Avoid unnecessary sudden
acceleration, rapid acceleration,
and rapid deceleration. Instead,
perform smooth starts,
acceleration, and deceleration.
Try to drive maintaining a constant
speed and avoid speeding.
Inspect the tire pressures regularly
and always adjust the tire pressures
to the speci fied inflation pressure.
By maintaining a su fficient distance
between vehicles and using the
regenerative braking well, more
electrical power can be charged to
the high voltage battery.

Pointers for Maintaining Long Battery
Life
The high voltage battery life changes
depending on the vehicle conditions or
charging method.
For maintaining a long high voltage
battery life, be careful of the following:
Charging the high voltage battery
Avoid unnecessary, frequent
charging.
Charge the battery normally and
avoid quick charging as much as
possible.
Only charge the battery with as much
power as needed, and do not always
fully charge the battery. The
maximum charge limit can be set.
Refer to Charging Settings on page
3-21.
Pa r k i n g t h e v e h i c l e
Do not park the vehicle in a place
where the ambient temperature is
extremely high or low.
Do not leave the vehicle while the
remaining high voltage battery power
is extremely low.
If the Excessive Battery Temperature noti fication is displayed on the

Quick charge port
The quick charge port is the part to
which the connector of the quick
charger is connected. This is used for
quick charging.
Battery heater
The battery heater is designed to
maintain the appropriate high voltage
battery temperature.
Because the driving performance and
the charging performance decrease if
the high voltage battery temperature
decreases, decreases in their
performance are reduced by
maintaining the appropriate high
voltage battery temperature using the
battery heater.
When the high voltage battery
temperature decreases signi ficantly
while parking or charging , the battery
heater operates. When the
temperature increases to the speci fied
value, the heater turns o ff.
However, when the high voltage
battery level is low, the battery heater
does not operate.
NOTE
Because the electrical power of the
high voltage battery is used by the
battery heater, we recommend that
the charge connector is left
connected to the vehicle when
parked in a location where charging
is available.
If the vehicle is not used for a long
period of time, we recommend that
the battery heater is turned o ff using
[Settings] in Mazda Connect.
When the battery heater operates,
the charging time could take longer.
Battery cooling
If the high voltage battery temperature
reaches 40 ℃ (104 ℉) or higher after
driving the vehicle, it is possible to cool
the high voltage battery while the
vehicle is parked for maintaining a long
high voltage battery life.
If the Excessive Battery Temperature
noti fication is displayed on the center
display after completing a trip, select
Start to operate the battery cooling.
NOTE
Because the electrical power of the
high voltage battery is used by the
battery cooling , we recommend that
the charge connector is connected to
the vehicle while the battery cooling is
operating , when parked in a location
where charging is available.
▼ Charging
Charging type
There are two methods of charging the
high voltage battery, normal charging
and quick charging.
We recommend that you use normal
charging as the preferred charging
method as this will help to keep the
high voltage battery in optimal
condition and maintain a long battery
life.

The exact charging time depends on
various conditions at the time of
charging , such as the type of charger,
battery condition, ch
arging patterns, as
well as the battery temperature and
ambient temperature. In cold weather
Before Driving
Electric Vehicles

MX -30_8JD4-EA -21G_Edition2_new 2021-5-18 14:38:07

conditions, both the battery and
ambient temperature will affect the
required charging time and, in certain
situations, this may lead to a signi ficant
increase in the charging time.
Normal charging
Normal Charging can be performed at
home using either a household power
source such as a wall outlet or wall
box, or similar method (alternating
current). Additionally, charging can be
performed at a public charging facility
using a charger other than a quick
charger (direct current).
When charging is started after the
remaining high voltage battery power
warning indication/warning light turns
on, the time it takes to fully charge the
high voltage battery at a public AC
charging facility is about 5 hours. Using
a household power source for charging
will increase the charging time to fully
charge the high voltage battery.
For normal charging , the charging
timer function can be used to charge
automatically from start to finish.
For details on how to use the charging
timer function, refer to Charging
Settings on page 3-21.
Quick charging
When charging is started at a quick
charging station (DC with 50 kW or
higher) the high voltage battery can be
charged from a 20% to 80% battery
charge level in about 36 minutes. The
exact charging time depends on
various conditions at the time of
charging , such as the type of charger,
battery condition, ch arging patterns, as
well as the battery temperature and
ambient temperature. In cold weather
conditions, both the battery and
ambient temperature will aff ect the
required charging time and, in certainsituations, this may lead to a significant
increase in the charging time.
WARNING
Always heed the following when
using a quick charger:
Otherwise, it could lead to an
accident.
 Do not use a charge cable which
exceeds 30 m (98 ft).
 This vehicle is compatible with quick
chargers with charge cables of 30 m
(98 ft) or shorter and which do not
charge other devices or vehicles at
the same time.

How to perform normal charging
1. Shift the selector lever to the P position.
2. Switch the power switch OFF.
3. Press the location shown in the figure to open the charge lid.
4. Open the normal charge port cap.
