For details, refer to Section 4, “Start/Stop Engine”.
Operation of i-stop Function
The i-stop (idling stop) function automatically stops the engine when the vehicle is stopped at a
traffic light or stuck in traffic after the engine has been warmed up (SKYACTIV-G 1.5,
SKYACTIV-G 2.0) or other times when the engine is not cold (SKYACTIV-D 2.2), 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.
(Manual transaxle)
2. Depress the brake pedal and then the clutch pedal, and bring the vehicle to a
complete stop.
3. After bringing the vehicle to a stop, shift the lever to the neutral position while depressing
the clutch pedal. The engine automatically stops after the clutch pedal is released. The
i-stop indicator light (green) also illuminates while the i-stop function is operating.
(Automatic transaxle)
2. The i-stop function operates when the brake pedal is depressed while driving the
vehicle (except for driving in reverse) and the vehicle is stopped. The i-stop
indicator light (green) also illuminates while the i-stop function is operating.
With the selector lever in the N or P position, the engine will not restart even if the
brake pedal is released. If the brake pedal is depressed again, the engine will restart.
1. (Except European model)
1. (Except European model) The i-stop indicator light (green) illuminates when the i-stop conditions are met
while the vehicle is being driven.
4. To restart the engine, depress the clutch pedal (i-stop indicator light (green) turns
off). The i-stop indicator light (green) illuminates if the i-stop function conditions
are met again while driving (except European model).
The i-stop indicator light (green) illuminates when the i-stop conditions are met
while the vehicle is being driven.
3. When the brake pedal is released while the shift lever is in the D/M position (not
second gear fixed mode), the engine restarts automatically and the i-stop indicator
light (green) turns off. The i-stop indicator light (green) illuminates if the i-stop
function conditions are met again while driving (except European model)

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”.

When Driving
Diesel Particulate Filter
The diesel particulate filter collects and eliminates most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of the diesel engine for improved exhaust gas processing
ability.
While the particulate matter (PM) collected in the diesel particulate filter is
eliminated automatically, fuel may be mixed with the engine oil increasing the
engine oil level. If the engine oil level exceeds the “X” mark on the dipstick,
replace the engine oil.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Tyre Pressure Monitoring System” or
“Diesel Particulate Filter”.
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all
four tyres. 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.
