Sit in the center of the seat and wear
seat belts properly:
Sitting too close to the side air bag
modules or placing hands on them, or
sleeping up against the door or
hanging out the windows is extremely
dangerous. The side and curtain air
bags inflate with great force and speed
directly expanding along the door on
the side the car is hit. Serious injury
could occur if someone is sitting too
close to the door or leaning against a
window, or if rear seat occupants grab
the sides of the front seatbacks. Give
the side and curtain air bags room to
work by sitting in the center of the seat
while the vehicle is moving with seat
belts worn properly.
Do not attach objects on or around
the area where air bags deploy:
Attaching objects to the air bags or
placing something in the area where
the air bags deploy is dangerous. In an
accident, an object could interfere with
air bag in flation and injure the
occupants. Furthermore, the bag could
be damaged causing gases to release.
Always keep the deployment area of
the air bag modules free of any
obstructions.
For example, you should not do any of
the following as it may interfere with
air bag deployment.
 Do not put a covering on or lean
anything against areas such as the
dashboard and lower portion of the
instrument panel that blocks the
passenger front air bag and knee air
bags.
 Do not use seat covers on the front
seats and rear seats equipped with
in-seat side air bags.
 Do not hang any backpacks, bags or
pouches that cover the sides of the
seats that block the side air bags.Do not place any objects on the
assist grips. Only hang clothes
directly on the coat hooks.
Do not touch the components of the
supplemental restraint system after
the air bags have in flated:
Touching the components of the
supplemental restraint system after the
air bags have in flated is dangerous.
Immediately after inflation, they are
very hot. You could get burned.
Never install any front-end equipment
to your vehicle:
Installation of front-end equipment,
such as frontal protection bar
(kangaroo bar, bull bar, push bar, or
other similar devices), snowplow, or
winches, is dangerous. The air bag
crash sensor system could be a ffected.
This could cause air bags to inflate
unexpectedly, or it could prevent the
air bags from inflating during an
accident. Front occupants could be
seriously injured.
Do not modify the suspension:
Modifying the vehicle suspension is
dangerous. If the vehicle's height or
the suspension is modi fied, the vehicle
will be unable to accurately detect a
collision or roll-over accident resulting
in incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries.
To prevent false detection by the air
bag sensor system, heed the
following:
 Do not use tires or wheels other than
those
specified for your Mazda:

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
