WARNING: LDWS is only a supplementary
system to warn the driver that the vehicle may
be deviating from its lane, however the LDWS
has limitations. Do not rely solely on the LDWS.
Relying solely on the LDWS may cause an
unexpected accident resulting in death or serious
injury. Always pay attention to the direction in
which the vehicle is traveling and drive safely.

sound quality than analog broadcasts as digital
broadcasts provide free,

quality and volume when a change from digital to analog signals occurs. If the sound
quality and volume becomes noticeably diminished or cuts

i-ELOOP
i-ELOOP (if equipped)
The Mazda-unique regenerative braking system (i-ELOOP) generates
and stores electrical energy in a capacitor during deceleration. Through
efficient energy regeneration, storage, and usage, fuel economy is
improved. To view i-ELOOP information, select Applications from
the Home screen, then scroll down to Fuel Economy Monitor.
i-ELOOP Pre-Charge Mode
If the capacitor is discharged because of vehicle storage (the vehicle \
is
parked for long periods of time), the i-ELOOP indicator in the instrume\
nt
cluster will flash and a
warning screen appears
on the screen of the
infotainment system.
When this warning screen appears, do not drive the
vehicle. Allow the engine to idle until the warning
screen disappears. This time is needed for normal
generator operation.
