How to Use the M Hybrid

M Hybrid automatically switches between engine assist by the Integrated Starter-Generator (ISG) and charging by regenerative braking according to the driving conditions of the vehicle. The M Hybrid 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 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 Battery discharges completely and the M Hybrid system cannot be activated, contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Replacement and Disposal of M Hybrid Battery

Technical knowledge and skill are necessary in handling the M Hybrid Battery. The M Hybrid Battery is collected and recycled to prevent accidents involving it. When scrapping your vehicle, replacing the M Hybrid Battery, or disposing of the M Hybrid Battery, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer. Please cooperate in ensuring that the vehicle's M Hybrid Battery is collected and recycled.

M Hybrid Malfunction

If the vehicle receives an impact of a certain level or greater in a collision, the M Hybrid system stops. In this case, the charging system warning light turns on and the M Hybrid system may not activate. Park the vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
