Starting the Engine
For details, refer to Section 4, “Start/Stop Engine”.
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
• The starter does not rotate until the glow indicator light turns off.
• When starting the engine, do not release the clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or
the brake pedal (automatic transaxle) until the glow indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns off and the engine starts, after pressing the push button
start.
1. Make sure the parking brake is on.
2. Continue to press the brake pedal firmly until
the engine has completely started.
3. (Manual transaxle)
Continue to press the clutch pedal firmly until
the engine has completely started.
(Automatic transaxle)
Put the vehicle in park (P). If you must restart the
engine while the vehicle is moving, shift into
neutral (N).
4. Press the push button start after both the KEY indicator
light (green) (if equipped) in the instrument cluster and
the push button start indicator light (green) illuminate.
• If the clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic transaxle) is
released before the engine starts, depress the clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or
the brake pedal (automatic transaxle) again and press the push button start to
start the engine.
• If the ignition is left switched ON for a long period of time without the engine

When Driving
For details, refer to Section 4, “Start/Stop Engine”.
Operation of i-stop Function
The i-stop function automatically stops the engine when the vehicle is stopped at a
traffic light or stuck in traffic, and then restarts the engine automatically to resume
driving. The system provides improved fuel economy, reduced exhaust gas
emissions, and eliminates idling noise while the engine is stopped.
Engine idle stopping and restarting
NOTE
• The i-stop indicator light (green) turns on under the following conditions:
• When engine idling is stopped.
• The i-stop indicator light (green) turns off when the engine is restarted.
Manual transaxle
2. While depressing the clutch pedal, shift the shift lever to the neutral position.
Engine idling stops after the clutch pedal is released.
3. The engine restarts automatically when the clutch pedal is depressed. 1. Stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal and then the clutch pedal.
Automatic transaxle
2. The engine restarts automatically when the brake pedal is released with the
selector lever in the D or M position (not in second gear fixed mode).
3. If the selector lever is in the N or P position, the engine does not restart when
the brake pedal is released. The engine restarts when the brake pedal is
depressed again or the selector lever is shifted to the D, M (not in second gear
fixed mode) or the R position. (For the purposes of safety, always keep the
brake pedal depressed when shifting the selector lever while engine idling is
stopped.) 1. Engine idling stops when the brake pedal is depressed while the vehicle is
driven (except for driving in the R or M position second gear fixed mode) and
the vehicle is stopped.Engine idling stop conditions are met while the vehicle is being driven. • (Except European model)

When Driving
i-ELOOP System
On conventional vehicles, the kinetic energy that is generated when the vehicle is
decelerated by applying the brakes or during engine braking ends up being discarded
as heat. By utilizing this discarded kinetic energy to generate electricity and use it to
power the vehicle's electrical devices and accessories such as the A/C and audio, fuel
consumption can be reduced. Mazda's system for generating electricity from this
kinetic energy is called the Deceleration Energy Generation System (i-ELOOP).
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ELOOP”.

When Driving
X Mark Full Low
Diesel Particulate Filter
The diesel particulate filter collects and removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
Inspect the engine oil level periodically (before getting in the vehicle). When
inspecting the engine oil, if the engine oil level is close to or exceeds the “X” mark
on the dipstick, replace the engine oil.
Whenever the engine oil is replaced, the vehicles engine control unit needs to be
reset as soon as possible. Otherwise the wrench indicator light or engine oil
warning light may turn on.
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ELOOP”, “Tyre Pressure Monitoring System”,
“Diesel Particulate Filter” or Section 6, “Owner Maintenance”.
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all
four wheels. If the air pressure of one or more tyres is too low, the system warns
the driver by indicating the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light in the
instrument cluster and operating a beep sound.
In the following cases, system initialization must be performed so that the system
operates normally.
• A tyre pressure is adjusted.
• Tyre rotation is performed.
• A tyre or wheel is replaced.
• The battery is replaced or completely drained.
• The tyre pressure monitoring system warning
light is illuminated.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
To reset the engine control unit, refer to the vehicle engine control unit reset
procedure or consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
i-ELOOP Charging Display
If the vehicle is driven while “i-ELOOP charging”
is displayed, a beep sound is heard. Make sure the
message is no longer displayed before driving.

If Trouble Arises
• Flat Tyre
If you have a flat tyre, drive slowly to a level spot that is well off the road and
out of the way of traffic to change the tyre.
In the event of a flat tyre, use the emergency flat tyre repair kit to repair the tyre
temporarily or use the temporary spare tyre.
• Overheating
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.
2. Check whether coolant or steam is escaping from the engine compartment.
If steam is coming from the engine compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle. Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then open the bonnet and start the engine.
If neither coolant nor steam is escaping:
Open the bonnet and idle the engine until it cools.
• Towing Description
We recommend that towing be done only by an expert repairer, we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer or a commercial tow-truck service.
• Warning Lights and Warning Sounds
If a warning light illuminates or flashes or a warning sound is heard, check for
details concerning the warning light or sound in this guide. If the problem
cannot be resolved, contact an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
For details, refer to Section 7, “Flat Tyre”, “Overheating”, “Emergency Towing” or
“Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds”.
