lower than the threshold of battery output (*), the drive
mode is switched from EV mode to HEV mode, and the
maximum driving distance display shows 1 mile (1 km) as
the minimum driving distance.
*: The threshold of battery output is 55 kW.

This is caused by low ambient temperature and low battery
temperature. This is normal operation.
Always make sure to use an attachment of 85 mm height
when using the lift.

PHEV interfere with flat lift
The high voltage battery is laid out under the floor, so the
undercover is greatly extended downward. Therefore, when
trying to use a flat lift, there is a risk of deformation or
breakage at the undercover due to interference with the plate
of the lift.

PHEV 355V HVAC Compressor Oil
PHEV 355V electric A/C compressor requires Polyolester
(POE) oil (part number KRY9-61-K39 -9U) due to the
electrical insulation performance. Polyalkyleneglycol (PAG) oil
(such as E1Y0-61-K39) cannot be used in an electric A/C
compressor.
Always make sure to use only Mazda Genuine POE oil
(KRY9-61-K39 -9U) for the electric A/C compressor. Using
any POE Oil other than Mazda Genuine POE oil may cause
electric leakage, deteriorated A/C performance, or damages
to A/C components.
NOTE:

• ETA for orderability of POE oil (KRY9-61-K39 -9U) late
April 2023.
• A properly adjusted amount of fluorescent agents is
used during vehicle production. Never add fluorescent
agent into the refrigerant system, otherwise the
insulation performance may deteriorate. Never use A/C
refrigerant gas containing A/C compressor oil and

Newly developed FR-8EAT (No torque Converter) Unit to be
installed in this model, which is including a Motor in cases of
PHEV & M Hybrid Boost models.
Always make sure to only use ATF-A7, which is marked on
the Filler Plug. If the new FR-8EAT or the motor drive unit
needs to be replaced, the transmission including the motor
drive will need to be replaced as an assembly. The Oil Pan is
made from Resin which needs to be cared for to avoid
breakage. Never set the transmission on the oil pan or ATF
cooler, Damage could occur. Use support blocks as shown in
WSM.

5. Rear Sensing System Operation State
• Smart Brake Support (SBS) [rear side sensing function]

Smart Brake Support (SBS)
SBS is a system designed to avoid collisions and reduce
damage in the event of a collision by controlling the brakes.
Sensors and camera equipped on the vehicle detect objects,
and operate brake control if there is a possibility of your
vehicle colliding with the object.
One part of the SBS functions when you are driving forward
and the other part functions when you are driving in reverse.
Forward drive detection
Forward drive detection has the following 4 functions.
1. Forward detection function*
The forward detection function is designed to assist the driver
in avoiding collisions with objects (vehicles
ahead, pedestrians, bicycles, and motorcycles) at the front
and to reduce damage in the event of a collision.
If there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a target
object at the front, you are notified of possible danger by a
screen display and a
warning sound. Furthermore, if the possibility of a collision
increases,
brake control is performed to avoid collision and reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the
brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist.

Owner's Manual -> Driving -> Smart Brake Support (SBS)

2. Turn-Across Traffic*
The Turn-Across Traffic is designed to assist the driver in
avoiding a collision with a vehicle approaching in the opposite

direction when making a left turn at an intersection and to
reduce damage in the event of a collision.
If there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle
approaching in the opposite direction when you make a left
turn at an intersection, you are notified of possible danger by
a screen display and a warning sound.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a collision increases, brake
control is performed to avoid collision and reduce damage in
the event of a collision.

3. Front Crossing*
Front Crossing is designed to assist the driver in avoiding a
collision at an intersection and reduce damage.
If there is a possibility of a collision with a vehicle at an
intersection, brake control is performed to avoid a collision or
to reduce damage in the event of a collision.

4. Intersection accident avoidance assist function*
Intersection accident avoidance assist function is designed to
avoid collisions with objects (pedestrians and bicycles) when
making a left or right turn at an intersection and to reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
If there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a target

object when you make a left or right turn at an intersection,
you are notified of possible danger by a screen display and a
warning sound. Furthermore, if the possibility of a collision
increases, brake control is performed to avoid collision and
reduce damage in the event of a collision.

Reverse drive detection
Reverse drive detection has the following 2 functions.
1. Rearward detection function*
The rearward detection function is designed to assist the
driver in avoiding collisions with objects at the
rear (obstructions and pedestrians*) and to reduce damage in
the event of a collision.
If there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a target
object at the rear, you are notified of possible danger by a
screen display and a warning sound. Furthermore, if
the possibility of a collision increases, brake control is
performed to avoid collision and reduce damage in the event
of a collision.

2. Rear Crossing*
The Rear Crossing is designed to avoid collision and reduce
damage in the event of a collision with a vehicle approaching
from the rear sides.
If there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle
approaching from the rear sides, you are notified of possible
danger by a screen display and a warning sound.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a collision increases, brake
control is performed to avoid collision and reduce damage in
the event of a collision.

Secondary Collision Reduction*
The Secondary Collision Reduction reduces secondary
damage by
decelerating the vehicle when it is damaged in a collision to
the extent that the airbags are deployed while driving.
Owner's Manual -> Driving -> Secondary Collision
If a collision occurs to the extent that the airbags are deployed Reduction
while driving, the hazard warning lights flash to
alert surrounding vehicles and the brakes are controlled to
reduce damage in the event of a collision with an
obstruction or other object.

Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go Function
System (MRCC)
MRCC is a system that reduces load on the driver through
constant speed and headway control. The function performs
headway control to maintain the distance with a vehicle ahead
at a constant preset speed without you having to depress the
accelerator or brake pedal.
Speed Limit Assist
It is possible to set the vehicle speed of the speed sign
recognized by the FSC and map information to the MRCC
with one touch (RES button).
