Rocking the Vehicle

Rocking the Vehicle
WARNING
Do not spin the wheels at high speed,
and do not allow anyone to stand
behind a wheel when pushing the
vehicle:
When the vehicle is stuck, spinning the
wheels at high speed is dangerous. The
spinning tyre could overheat and
explode. This could cause serious
injuries.
CAUTION
Too much rocking may cause EV
Transaxle failure, and tyre damage.
If you must rock the vehicle to free it
from snow, sand or mud, depress the
accelerator slightly and slowly move
the selector lever from D to R position.
Winter Driving
▼
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tyre
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper leads, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask an expert repairer (we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer) to
check the following:
x
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Coolant on page 6-13.
x
Inspect the lead-acid battery and its
leads. Cold reduces battery capacity.
x
Inspect the EV system for damage
and loose connections.
x
Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze
ʊ
but do not use coolant
antifreeze for washer fluid (page
6-15).
NOTE
x
Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windscreen is dangerous
as it could obstruct vision.
x
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice
or frozen snow on the mirror glass
and windscreen.
x
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.
x
Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake
components. If this situation occurs,
drive the vehicle slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to
normal.
