How to Use the M Hybrid Boost
M Hybrid Boost automatically switches between engine assist by the motor and charging by regenerative braking according to the driving conditions of the vehicle. The M Hybrid Boost power generating status is displayed on the system operation status display of the fuel economy monitor.
Select “Information” → “Fuel Efficiency Monitor” → “Energy Flow Monitor” on the Mazda Connect home screen, and then check M Hybrid Boost operation status, or consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Drive the vehicle for about 30 minutes once every 2 to 3 months because self-discharge occurs gradually if the vehicle is not driven for a long period of time. If the M Hybrid Boost Battery discharges completely and the M Hybrid Boost system cannot be activated, contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Approaching Vehicle Audible System
When the vehicle is driven at low speeds, a warning sound is automatically activated to warn that a vehicle is approaching.
-
Start the engine.
-
Shift the selector lever to a position other than P.
A warning sound is activated and stops when the vehicle speed reaches 41 km/h (26 mph) or faster.
