Always heed the following when
using the charge lead:
Otherwise, the charge lead could be
damaged resulting in an accident.
¾Do not pull out or bend the charge
lead excessively.
¾Do not step on the charge lead or
drag it on the ground.
¾When inserting/pulling out the
charge connector and the charge
plug, do not twist them excessively.
¾Do not apply excessive force to the
connected charge connector such as
by applying your weight.
¾Keep objects which generates
intense heat (such as a heater or
cigarette) away from the charge lead.
¾Do not apply organic solvents, acid
or alkaline agents to the charge lead.
CAUTION
¾Do not connect the booster lead 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.
¾If 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.
¾Always make sure that the charge
lead 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.
¾If the charge port is frozen shut,
defrost the inlet using a hair dryer. If
the charge lead is inserted/pulled
out with the charge port frozen, it
could cause damage.
NOTE
x
Normal charging and quick charging
cannot be performed at the same
time.
x
The navigation system and the
air-conditioning 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.
x
If a power outage occurs while
charging, remove the plug and the
charge connector and start charging
from the beginning again.
x
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
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
