Smart Brake Support (SBS)
NOTE
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system may not operate under the following
conditions:
• The brake pedal, steering wheel, selector lever, or a direction indicator is
operated.
Although the objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles, the
radar sensor (front) could detect the following objects, determine them to be an
obstruction, and operate the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system.
• Two-wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles, pedestrians, trees
If there is the possibility of a collision with a
vehicle ahead, the beep sounds continuously
and a warning is indicated in the display.

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 Regenerative Braking System (i-ELOOP).
i-ELOOP Warning Beep
The beep will sound if the vehicle is driven while the
i-ELOOP indicator light is flashing. Make sure that
the i-ELOOP indicator light has stopped flashing
before driving.
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ELOOP” or Section 7,
“Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds”.
