When Driving
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
If there is the possibility of a collision with a
vehicle ahead, the beep sounds continuously and a
warning is indicated in the active driving display.
Collision Warning
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system may not operate under the following
conditions:
•If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly and it comes close to a vehicle ahead.
Although the objects which activate the system are four-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.
•Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve (including guardrails and
snow banks).
•The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.
•The accelerator pedal is depressed.
•A vehicle appears in the opposite lane while cornering or rounding a curve.
•When crossing a narrow bridge.
•When entering an underground parking area.
•Metal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road. NOTE
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
•The brake pedal is depressed.
•The steering wheel is being operated.
•The selector lever is being operated.
• The direction indicator is being used.
• When the vehicle ahead is not equipped with tail lights or the tail lights are
turned off.
• When warnings and messages, such as a dirty windscreen, related to the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) are being displayed in the multi-
information display.
•
When passing under a low gate or through a tunnel or narrow gate.
•If you suddenly come close to a vehicle ahead.
•When driving in areas where there is high grass or forage.
•Two-wheeled vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycles.
•Pedestrians or non-metallic objects such as standing trees.

i-ELOOP System
i-ELOOP is a regenerative braking system. When you depress the brake pedal or use
engine braking, the kinetic energy that occurs is converted to electrical energy by the
power generator and the converted electrical energy is stored in the rechargeable
battery (capacitor and battery). The stored electricity is used as power to charge the
battery and the vehicle's electrical devices.
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ELOOP”.
• A variable voltage alternator is incorporated in the power generator which
converts the kinetic energy to electricity and can generate electricity efficiently
according to the vehicle conditions.
• A capacitor is used to store large amounts of electricity instantly which can be
utilized quickly.
• A DC-DC converter is incorporated which steps down the stored electricity to
voltage useable by the vehicle's electrical devices.

When Driving
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ELOOP” or Section 7,
“Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds”.
The i-ELOOP power generating status is displayed in the audio display.

Control status
Displays the level of electricity generated by
regenerative braking.
Displays the amount of the electricity stored
in the rechargeable battery.
Displays the status of the electricity stored
in the rechargeable battery and being
supplied to the electrical devices (whole
vehicle in display is illuminated
simultaneously).
i-ELOOP Warning Beep
The beep will activate if you attempt to drive the
vehicle under the following conditions.
• The i-ELOOP indicator light is flashing green.
• “i-ELOOP Charging” is indicated in the centre display (Type C/Type D audio).
The beep will stop when the vehicle is stopped. Make sure the indicator light is no
longer illuminated and the message is no longer displayed before driving the vehicle.

When Driving
Diesel Particulate Filter
The diesel particulate filter collects and removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
• If the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h (9 mph) or less continuously.
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.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
PM collected by the diesel particulate filter is cleared during normal driving,
however, PM may not be removed and the diesel particulate filter indicator light
may illuminate under the following conditions:
• If the vehicle is repeatedly driven for a short period of time (10 minute or less)
or driven while the engine is cold.
• If the vehicle is idled for a long time.

Owner Maintenance Precautions
Routine Service
We highly recommend that these items be inspected daily, or at least every week.
• Engine Oil Level
• Engine Coolant Level
• Brake and Clutch Fluid Level
• Washer Fluid Level
• Battery Maintenance
• Tyre Inflation Pressure
For details, refer to Section 6, “Owner Maintenance”.
Inspecting Engine Oil Level
If the engine oil level exceeds the “X” mark on the dipstick, replace the engine oil.
When inspecting the engine oil level, pull out the dipstick straight without twisting.
In addition, when inserting the dipstick, always insert it without twisting so that
the “X” mark faces the front of the vehicle.
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. To reset the engine control unit, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer or refer to the vehicle engine control unit reset procedure.
NOTE
The initialization (engine oil data resetting) of the recorded value can be
performed using the following procedure:
1. Switch the ignition OFF.
2. Switch the ignition ON with the selector pressed, and press and hold the
selector for about 5 seconds until the master w
arning light flashes.
3. After the master warning light flashes for several seconds, the
initialization is completed.

If Trouble Arises
If Trouble Arises
• Flat Tyre
If you have a flat tyre, drive slowly to a level spot that is well off the road and
out of the way of traffic to change the tyre.
In the event of a flat tyre, use the emergency flat tyre repair kit to repair the tyre
temporarily or use the temporary spare tyre.
• Overheating
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.
2. Check whether coolant or steam is escaping from the engine compartment.
If steam is coming from the engine compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle. Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then open the bonnet and start the engine.
If neither coolant nor steam is escaping:
Open the bonnet and idle the engine until it cools.
• Towing Description
We recommend that towing be done only by an expert repairer, we recommend
an
Authorised Mazda Repairer or a commercial tow-truck service.
• Warning Lights and Warning Sounds
If a warning light illuminates or flashes or a warning sound is heard, check for
details concerning the warning light or sound in this guide. If the problem
cannot be resolved, contact an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
For details, refer to Section 7, “Flat Tyre”, “Overheating”, “Emergency Towing” or
“Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds”.
