Smart Brake Support (SBS)
NOTE
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system may not operate under the followingy
conditions:
• If there is the possibility of hitting only a part of a vehicle ahead.
Although the objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles, the radar
sensor 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).
If there is the possibility of a collision with a vehicle or
obstruction ahead, the beep sounds continuously and a
warning is indicated in the display.
Collision Warning
Other details are described in the related text.
Other details are described in the related text.
• The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.
• The brake pedal, steering wheel, selector lever, or a direction indicator is
operated.
• A vehicle appears in the opposite lane while cornering or rounding a curve.
• When crossing a narrow bridge, passing through a low gate or tunnel, a
narrow gate, or entering an underground parking area.
• Metal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road.
• Two-wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles, pedestrians, trees.

When Driving
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 Deceleration Energy Generation System (i-ELOOP).
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ELOOP”.

When Driving
X Mark Full Low
Diesel Particulate Filter
The diesel particulate filter collects and removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
Inspect the engine oil level periodically (before getting in the vehicle). When
inspecting the engine oil, if the engine oil level is close to or exceeds the “X” mark
on the dipstick, replace the engine oil.
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.
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ELOOP”, “Tyre Pressure Monitoring System”,
“Diesel Particulate Filter” or Section 6, “Owner Maintenance”.
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all
four wheels. 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
To reset the engine control unit, refer to the vehicle engine control unit reset
procedure or consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
i-ELOOP Charging Display
If the vehicle is driven while “i-ELOOP charging”
is displayed, a beep sound is heard. Make sure the
message is no longer displayed before driving.

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”.
