Accessory Sockets

The accessory socket is located deep in the 

back of the footwell on the passenger side.

Only use genuine Mazda accessories or 

the equivalent requiring no greater than 

120 W (DC 12 V, 10 A).

The ignition must be switched to ACC or 

ON.

CAUTION



  To prevent accessory socket damage or 

electrical failure, pay attention to the 

following:



  Do not use accessories that require 

more than 120 W (DC 12 V, 10 A).



  Do not use accessories that are not 

genuine Mazda accessories or the 

equivalent.



  Close the cover when the accessory 

socket is not in use to prevent foreign 

objects and liquids from getting into 

the accessory socket.



  Correctly insert the plug into the 

accessory socket.



  Do not insert the cigarette lighter into 

the accessory socket.



  Noise may occur on the audio playback 

depending on the device connected to 

the accessory socket.



  Depending on the device connected 

to the accessory socket, the vehicle's 

electrical system may be affected, 

which could cause the warning light to 

illuminate. Disconnect the connected 

device and make sure that the problem 

is resolved. If the problem is resolved, 

disconnect the device from the socket 

and switch the ignition off. If the 

problem is not resolved, consult an 

Authorized Mazda Dealer.

NOTE

To prevent discharging of the battery, do 

not use the socket for long periods with the 

engine off or idling.
