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 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 indefinitely 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 expert repairer (we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer).
Inspect the antifreeze protection and
coolant level in the coolant reservoir at
least once a yearʊat the beginning of
the winter seasonʊand before
travelling 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.
