When Driving
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
Smart Brake Support (SBS) is a system which alerts the driver of a possible
collision using an indicator and warning sound in the instrument cluster while the
vehicle is being driven at about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster) and the
system's radar sensor determines that your vehicle may hit a vehicle ahead.
Furthermore, if the radar sensor determines that a collision is unavoidable, the
automatic brake control is performed to reduce damage in the event of a collision.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Smart Brake Support (SBS)”.
Do not rely completely on the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system and always
drive carefully:
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system is only designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision. The ability to detect obstructions is limited depending on the
obstruction, weather conditions, or traffic conditions.
Check the safety of the surroundings and pay sufficient attention to the
distance between your vehicle and the vehicles travelling in front and behind.

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.
