impacts, it deploys with more energy.

▼ How the SRS Air Bags Work

Your Mazda is equipped with the

following types of SRS air bags. SRS air

bags are designed to work together

with the seat belts to help to reduce

injuries during an accident.

The SRS air bags are designed to

provide further protection for

passengers in addition to the seat belt

functions. Be sure to wear seat belts

properly.

Before Driving

Electric Vehicles

▼ Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles are driven by motor power using the electrical power stored in the

high voltage battery. This vehicle is an eco-friendly vehicle which emits no exhaust

gas because fuel is not used.

1. Motor, Regenerative braking

2. High voltage battery

3. Approaching vehicle audible system

Motor

The motor transmits the motor power to the wheels using the electrical power of the

high voltage battery.

Regenerative braking

Regenerative braking uses the motor to decelerate the vehicle. Power is generated

by the wheels rotating the motor while decelerating and the generated power

charges the high voltage battery.

Refer to Steering Wheel Paddle on page 3-7.

High voltage battery

The high voltage battery is a large-capacity battery and stores the charged power and

the electrical power generated by regenerative braking.

Before Driving

Electric Vehicles

Approaching vehicle audible system

The approaching vehicle audible system notifies pedestrians of the vehicle

approaching using a warning sound while driving at low speeds.

Refer to Approaching Vehicle Audible System on page 3-9.

▼ Cautions on Use

An electric vehicle has high voltage areas and high temperature areas.

Labels indicating the cautions on use are applied to these areas. Always follow the

instructions on the label and use the vehicle correctly.

WARNING

Be very careful of high voltage areas. In addition, do not disassemble, modify, or

remove any high voltage parts:

The following areas contain high voltage parts and may cause electrical shock if

touched.

1. DC-DC Converter

2. Junction Box

Be very careful of high temperature areas:

Always follow the instructions on the labels inside the motor compartment. After

driving, the motor temperature may be high.

Do not open the hood while the EV system or Climate Control Timer is operating

or during timer charging, normal charging, or quick charging:

The cooling fan in the motor compartment may rotate suddenly and your hand,

clothes, or accessories may touch the fan or become caught, resulting in serious

injury or death.

The steering wheel paddle is a function that makes it easy to adjust the vehicle

speed according to the accelerator pedal operation.

Acceleration/deceleration is possible according to the various driving conditions

such as on an up or down slope, during traffic jams, or high-speed driving.

WARNING

Avoid using the steering wheel paddles when driving on wet roads, snow-covered

roads, or icy roads:

Otherwise, the tires will slip which could lead to an accident.
