coolant MAZDA MODEL MX-30 EV 2022 Owners Manual

cooperate in ensuring that the vehicle's
high voltage battery is collected.
WARNING
Appropriate disposal of the high
voltage battery:
If the high voltage battery is not
collected and disposed of
appropriately, such as by leaving it
unattended or illegally abandoning it,
some other person may touch it which
could cause an electrical shock
accident leading to serious injury.
▼Accident Occurs
If the vehicle receives an impact of a
certain level or greater in a collision,
the EV system stops. In this case, the
EV system malfunction warning
indication/warning light displays/turns
on and the EV system may not start.
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer
immediately.
WARNING
Never touch electrical wiring that may
be protruding into or outside of the
cabin:
Otherwise, it could result in electrical
shock and serious injury.
Never touch any area where
electrolyte is visible or electrolyte is
leaking from the area:
If any electrolyte from the high voltage
battery gets in the eyes or on the skin,
it could cause loss
of vision or skin
reactions. In the unlikely event that
electrolyte comes into contact with the
eyes or skin, flush with large quantities
of water immediately and seek
immediate medical attention.
Never approach objects that are on
fi re or extremely hot:
Electrolyte in the high voltage battery
may cause a fire.
If the vehicle catches fire, extinguish
the fire using a fire extinguisher (type
ABC, BC, or C).
Only extinguish a fire with water when
a large amount of water is available
such as from a fire hydrant. Otherwise,
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
automatically.
Several minutes have passed since
the EV system was stopped.

Winter Driving
▼Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper,
flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
check the following:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Coolant on page 6-11.
Inspect the lead-acid battery and its
cables. Cold reduces battery
capacity.
Inspect the EV system for damage
and loose connections.
Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze ―but do not use coolant
antifreeze for washer fluid (page
6-13).
NOTE
Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windshield is dangerous
as it could obstruct vision.
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice
or frozen snow on the mirror glass
and windshield.
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.
Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely a ffected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake
components. If this situation occurs,
drive the vehicle slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to
normal.
▼ Snow Tires
Use snow tires on all 4 wheels
Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75
mph) while driving with snow tires.
In
flate snow tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2,
4.3 psi) more than recommended on
the tire pressure label (rear door on the
driver's side), but never more than the
maximum cold-tire pressure shown on
the tires.

The vehicle is originally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used
all year around. In some extreme
climates you may find it necessary to
replace them with snow tires during
the winter months to further improve
traction on snow and ice covered
roads.
WARNING
Use only the same size and type tires
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all 4
wheels:
Using tires di fferent in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly aff ected and result in
an accident.
CAUTION
Check local regulations before using
studded tires.
NOTE
The tire pressure monitoring system
may not function correctly when using
tires with steel wire reinforcement in
the sidewalls (page 4-181).
▼ Tire Chains
Check local regulations before using
tire chains.

Owner MaintenancePrecautions
▼Owner Maintenance Precautions
The owner or a qualifi
ed service
technician should make these vehicle
inspections at the indicated intervals to
ensure safe and dependable
operation.

Bring any problem to the attention of
an Authorized Mazda Dealer or
quali fied service technician as soon as
possible.
When Charging the Vehicle
Brake fluid level (page 6-12)Coolant level (page 6-11)Washer fluid level (page 6-13)Lead-acid Battery Maintenance
(page 6-20)
At Least Monthly
Tire in flation pressures (page 6-23)
At Least Twice a Year (For Example,
Every Spring and Fall)
You can do the following scheduled
maintenance items if you have some
mechanical ability and a few basic
tools and if you closely follow the
directions in this manual.
Coolant (page 6-11)

Improper or incomplete service may
result in problems. This section gives
instructions only for items that are easy
to perform.

As explained in the Introduction (page
6-2), several procedures can be done
only by a quali fied service technician
with special tools.

Improper owner maintenance during
the warranty period may a ffect
warranty coverage. Refer to
Introduction (page 6-2) for owner's
responsibility in protecting your
investment. For details, read the
separate Mazda Warranty statement
provided with the vehicle. If you are
unsure about any servicing or
maintenance procedure, have it done
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

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.
