▼ Glass and Mirror Maintenance
Use Mazda genuine glass cleaner to
remove oil
film from the glass or
mirror.
When cleaning the interior side of the
window glass, gently wipe it with a soft
cloth soaked in clean water and
thoroughly wrung out.
If there is oil film on the windshield,
headlight beams from on-coming
vehicles may re flect irregularly
especially on a rainy night, and your
front vision might be obstructed.
If an antenna or filament is printed on
the window glass, gently wipe along
the antenna or filament to clean that
area.
CAUTION
If some areas require further cleaning,
a glass cleaning agent can be used.
However, be careful of the following
points.
 Follow the instructions on the glass
cleaner container.
 Do not use a glass cleaning agent on
a window antenna and filaments,
and on a rearview mirror equipped
with the automatic glare prevention
function.
Using a glass cleaning agent may
damage the window antenna or
fi laments, and the automatic glare
prevention function may not operate
normally.

The lead-acid battery might be depleted
if the following conditions occur.
The EV system does not start.The selector lever cannot be shifted to a position other than P.The horn sound is weak or it does not sound.The brightness of the lights is extremely low.
Jump-starting is dangerous if done incorrectly. So follow the procedure carefully. If
you feel unsure about jump-starting, we strongly recommend that you have a
competent service technician do the work.
Using commercially available booster cables, connect the lead-acid battery of the
booster vehicle’s battery to the lead-acid battery of your vehicle and start the EV
system.
WARNING
Follow These Precautions Carefully:
To ensure safe and correct handling of the lead-acid battery, read the following
precautions carefully before using the lead-acid battery or inspecting it.
Keep flames and sparks away from open lead-acid battery cells and do not
allow metal tools to contact the positive (+) or negative (–) terminal of the
lead-acid battery when working near a lead-acid battery. Do not allow the
positive (+) terminal to contact the vehicle body:
Flames and sparks near open lead-acid battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas,
produced during normal lead-acid battery operation, could ignite and cause the
lead-acid battery to explode. An exploding lead-acid battery can cause serious burns
and injuries. Keep all flames including cigarettes and sparks away from open
lead-acid battery cells.
