For occupants who use any medical device such as an implanted-type heart pacer or defibrillator, ask a doctor or manufacturer of the device about how the medical device may be affected by the charging operation:
Otherwise, the operation of the medical device could be affected resulting in an accident.
For occupants who use any medical device such as an implanted-type heart pacer or defibrillator, do not enter the cabin including the luggage compartment while charging:
Otherwise, the operation of the medical device could be affected resulting in an accident.
Do not disassemble or modify the charge port and the charge cable:
Otherwise, it could lead to an electrical shock resulting in an accident.
Always heed the following when charging:
Otherwise, it could lead to an electrical shock resulting in an accident.
Never allow children to charge the high voltage battery.
Do not charge the high voltage battery while the vehicle is covered with a car cover.
Always heed the following when charging in the rain or snow:
Otherwise, it could lead to an electrical shock resulting in an accident.
Do not charge the high voltage battery outside if there is the possibility of heavy rain, strong winds, or lightning.
Remove water with a clean cloth if the charge connector or charge plug is wet.
Do not touch the charge port or charge cable with wet hands.
If the outlet is covered with snow while charging, turn off the power such as turning off the breaker, remove the snow, and then remove the charge plug.
Do not use the charge cable if it has any of the following malfunctions:
Otherwise, it could lead to an electrical shock resulting in an accident.
The charge connector is rusted or corroded.
The charge connector is damaged or foreign matter penetrates the charge connector.
Refer to the instruction manual accompanying the charge cable and use the charge cable correctly:
If you handle the charge cable incorrectly, it could result in an unexpected accident.
Always heed the following when using the charge cable:
Otherwise, the charge cable could be damaged resulting in an accident.
Do not pull out or bend the charge cable excessively.
Do not step on the charge cable or drag it on the ground.
When inserting/pulling out the charge connector and the charge plug, do not twist them excessively.
Do not apply excessive force to the connected charge connector such as by applying your weight.
Keep objects which generate intense heat (such as a heater or cigarette) away from the charge cable.
Do not apply organic solvents, acid or alkaline agents to the charge cable.
Do not connect the booster cable to the lead-acid battery or remove the lead-acid battery while charging the high voltage battery. Otherwise, the vehicle or charging device could be damaged.
If the charge connector is removed after the charging is finished, close the charge port cap immediately. If the charging lid is closed with the charge port cap open, water or foreign matter may enter the charge port causing a malfunction.
Always make sure that the charge cable is not connected to the vehicle before driving. Because the vehicle can be driven even while the charge connector is not connected completely, it could result in an accident.
If the charge port is frozen shut, defrost the inlet using a hair dryer. If the charge cable is inserted/pulled out with the charge port frozen, it could cause damage.
Normal charging and quick charging cannot be performed at the same time.
The navigation system and the climate control system can be used even while charging. However, the charging time increases because electrical power is consumed. In some cases, power consumption may exceed the charged amount and charging may not finish.
If a power outage occurs while charging, remove the plug and the charge connector and start charging from the beginning again.
Make sure that no water has accumulated in the charge connector and the charge port before charging. If any foreign matter enters the charge connector or the charge port, do not start charging and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
