your safety, obtaining a replacement
key requires security validation, this
will add some delays in supplying a
replacement key. They are only
available through an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Always keep a spare key in case one
is lost. If a key is lost, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
If you lose a key, an Authorized

where it is di fficult for the system to
detect the signal, such as on the
dashboard or in the glove
compartment. Move the key to a
location within the signal range,
switch the power switch o ff, and
then restart the EV system.
Signals from a TV or radio station, or
from a transceiver or mobile
telephone could interfere with your

Break-In Period
▼Break-In Period
No special break-in is necessary, but if
unnecessary hard stops are avoided in
the
first 1,000 km (600 miles), it may
add to the performance, economy,
and life of the vehicle.
Hazardous Driving
▼ Hazardous Driving
WARNING
Be careful when applying sudden
regenerative braking on slippery
surfaces:
The sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. This could lead
to loss of vehicle control and an
accident.
When driving on ice or in water, snow,
mud, sand, or similar hazards:
Be cautious and allow extra distance
for braking.
Avoid sudden braking and sudden
maneuvering.
Do not pump the brakes. Continue
to press down on the brake pedal.
Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS)
on page 4-63.
For more traction in starting on
slippery surfaces such as ice or
packed snow, use sand, rock salt,
chains, carpeting,
or other nonslip
material under the front wheels.
NOTE
Use snow chains only on the front
wheels.
