i-ELOOP
i-ELOOP *
On conventional vehicles, the kinetic energy that is generated when the vehicle is
decelerated by applying the brakes or during engine braking ends up bein\
g 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
Regenerative Braking System (i-ELOOP).

For vehicles with type B audio, the Control Status and Fuel Consumption \
are switched and
displayed by operating each icon in the display.
In addition, after completing a trip, the total energy effi ciency to date is displayed in the
ending display when the ending display is turned on.
1. Select the (

 y After resetting the fuel economy data, “-- -” is displayed while the aver\
age fuel economy
is calculated.
Control Status Display
The power generating status is displayed
Indication on display Control status
Displays the level of electricity generated by
regenerative braking.
Displays the amount of the electricity stored in the capacitor.
Displays the status of the electricity stored in the capacitor and being supplied to the electrical devices
(whole vehicle in display is illuminated simultaneously).
Displays the accumulated fuel economy.
Ending Screen Display
When the ignition is switched off from ON after completing a trip, the actual performance
for the total fuel economy effi ciency is displayed for 5 seconds.

When Driving
Drive Selection
Drive Selection *
Mazda Drive Selection provides an opportunity to select a different driving characteristic
when SPORT mode is activated. By selecting SPORT mode, greater vehicle response
is achieved through automatic adjustments in transaxle shift control and\
engine throttle
control. This provides additional quick acceleration which may be needed to safel\
y make
maneuvers such as lane changes, merging onto freeways, or passing other vehicles.
NOTE
If driving long distances in SPORT mode, the fuel economy will decrease due to the
frequency of driving in lower gears. Driving in SPORT mode all of the time is not
recommended. SPORT mode is best used only in situations requiring quick, responsive
driving.
