If you must run the EV system while
working under the hood, make
certain that you remove all jewelry
(especially rings, bracelets, watches,
and necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose clothing
before getting near the cooling fan
which may turn on unexpectedly:
Working under the hood with the EV
system operating is dangerous. It
becomes even more dangerous when
you wear jewelry, loose clothing or
have long hair or a long beard.
Either can become entangled in
moving parts and result in injury.
Pull over to a safe location, then
switch the power switch o ff and make
sure the fan is not running before
attempting to work near the cooling
fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is
running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running inde finitely even if
the EV system has stopped and the
motor compartment temperature is
high. You could be hit by the fan and
seriously injured.
Do not leave items in the motor
compartment:
After you have finished checking or
doing servicing in the motor
compartment, do not forget and leave
items such as tools or rags in the motor
compartment.
Tools or other items left in the motor
compartment could cause EV system
damage or a fire leading to an
unexpected accident.
Hood
▼ Hood
WARNING
Always check that the hood is closed
and securely locked:
A hood that is not closed and securely
locked is dangerous as it could
fly open
while the vehicle is moving and block
the driver's vision which could result in
a serious accident.
▼ Opening the Hood
1. With the vehicle parked, pull the
release handle to unlock the hood.

2. Insert your hand into the hoodopening, slide the latch lever in the
direction of the allow as shown in
the illustration, and lift up the
hood.

Coolant
▼Inspecting Coolant Level
WARNING
Do not use a match or live
flame in
the motor compartment. DO NOT
ADD COOLANT WHEN THE EV
SYSTEM IS HOT :
A hot EV system is dangerous. If the EV
system has been running , parts of the
motor compartment can become very
hot. You could be burned. Carefully
inspect the EV system coolant in the
coolant reservoir, but do not open it.
Pull over to a safe location, then
switch the power switch o ff and make
sure the fan is not running before
attempting to work near the cooling
fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is
running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running inde finitely even if
the EV system has stopped and the
motor compartment temperature is
high. You could be hit by the fan and
seriously injured.
Do not remove either
cooling system cap when the EV
system and radiator are hot:
When the EV system and radiator are
hot, scalding coolant and steam may
shoot out under pressure and cause
serious injury.
NOTE
Changing the coolant should be done
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Inspect the antifreeze protection and
coolant level in the coolant reservoir at
least once a year ―at the beginning of
the winter season ―and before
traveling where temperatures may drop
below freezing.

Inspect the condition and connections
of the cooling system.
Replace any that are swollen or
deteriorated.

The coolant should be between the
FULL and LOW marks on the coolant
reservoir when the EV system is cool.

If it is at or near LOW, add enough
coolant to the coolant reservoir to
provide freezing and corrosion
protection and to bring the level to
FULL.
Securely tighten the coolant reservoir
tank cap after adding coolant.
CAUTION
 Radiator coolant will damage paint.
Rinse it
off quickly if spilled.

If the “FL22” mark is shown on or
near the cooling system cap, use of
FL -22 is recommended when
replacing coolant. Using coolant
other than FL -22 may cause serious
damage to the cooling system.

If the coolant reservoir is empty or new
coolant is required frequently, consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Brake Fluid
▼ Inspecting Brake Fluid Level
WARNING
If the brake
fluid level is low, have the
brakes inspected:
A low brake fluid level is dangerous.
A low level could indicate brake lining
wear or a brake system leak which
could cause the brakes to fail and lead
to an accident.
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir
regularly. It should be kept between
the MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake linings. If
it is excessively low, have the brake
system inspected by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

Keep all flames and sparks away from open
lead-acid battery cells because
hydrogen gas is produced from open le ad-acid battery cells while charging the
lead-acid battery or adding lead-acid battery fluid:
Flames and sparks near open lead-acid ba ttery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas,
produced during normal lead-acid battery operation, could ignite and cause the
lead-acid battery to explode. An explodin g lead-acid battery can cause serious burns
and injuries. Keep all fl ames including cigarettes and sparks away from open
lead-acid battery cells.
Do not jump-start a frozen lead-acid battery or one with a low fluid level:
Jump-starting a frozen lead-acid battery or one with a low fluid level is dangerous. It
may rupture or explode, causing serious injury.
Connect the negative cable to a good ground point away from the lead-acid
battery:
Connecting the end of the second jumper ca ble to the negative (–) terminal of the
depleted lead-acid battery is dangerous.
A spark could cause the gas around the lead-acid battery to explode and injure
someone.
Route the jumper cables away from parts that will be moving:
Connecting a jumper cable near or to moving part (cooling fans) is dangerous. The
cable could get caught when the EV system starts and cause serious injury.
CAUTION
 Connect the booster cables with extreme care.
 Do not jump-start the vehicle with the charging cable connected to your vehicle.
Otherwise, the vehicle could be damaged.
 Do not use your vehicle as a booster vehicle.
NOTE
If your lead-acid battery is depleted, make sure that the booster vehicle's battery is
a lead-acid battery.
1. Move the booster vehicle so that its lead-acid battery is as close as possible to your vehicle's lead-acid battery.
2. Make sure that the power switch is switched OFF.

Do not ignore the TPMS warning light
when it is turned on or flashing:
Continuing to drive the vehicle while
ignoring the illumination/ flashing of
the TPMS warning light is dangerous
because a tire may burst which could
lead to an accident. Take appropriate
measures as soon as possible.
NOTE
While the TPMS is learning the tire
positions, such as immediately after a
tire position has been changed, the tire
pressure at the tire position prior to it
being changed is displayed until the
system completes the learning. For this
reason, the tire pressures displayed for
the tire positions may be di fferent from
the actual tire pressures at the tire
positions.
Action to be taken
Adjust the tire pressures to the
appropriate pressures.
Refer to Tire In flation Pressure on page
6-23.
CAUTION
 Adjust the tire pressures while the
tires are cool. Because the air
pressure in the tires fluctuates
depending on the temperature,
before adjusting the tire pressures,
let the vehicle sit for an hour or drive
it only within a 1.6 km (1 mile)
distance. If the tire pressures are
adjusted while the tires are warm,
the tire pressures may decrease
below the specified air pressure after
cooling down which could turn on
the warning light. In addition,
because the air pressure in the tires
decreases when the ambient
temperature is low, if the ambient
temperature increases, an
illuminated TPMS warning light may
turn o ff. Under any circumstances,
always adjust the tire pressures while
the tires are cool.
 After adjusting the tire pressures, the
TPMS warning light turns o ff. If the
TPMS warning light does not turn off,
drive the vehicle at a speed of about
25 km (16 mph) or faster for 3
minutes or longer and make sure the
warning light turns off.
If the TPMS warning light remains on
even after adjusting the tire pressures,
one of the tires may have a puncture.
