Step by step.
- 01
Open Settings from the Mazda Connect home screen.
- 02
Select EV Settings, then Charge When Connected.
- 03
Change the setting to Enable.
- 04
Switch vehicle power OFF and connect the AC charge connector.

Important limits
- Charge When Connected cancels the schedule only for immediate charging; it does not delete saved schedules.
- The configured AC or schedule charge limit can still stop the session before 100%.
- Always follow the charge-equipment instructions and keep the connector and inlet dry and free of foreign material.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the vehicle still waits, verify Charge When Connected is enabled before reconnecting the cable.
- ✓If charging ends early, inspect the active charge-limit setting.
- ✓If the indicator shows a fault, disconnect safely, wait a few minutes and reconnect as directed by the Mazda manual.
