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.

 

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. If this happens, immediately flush your eyes with water for 15 minutes or wash your skin with soap thoroughly and get medical attention.

Never approach objects that are on fire 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.

Steering Wheel Paddle

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.

 

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.
