Before Driving
Driving Tips
Turbocharger Information (SKYACTIV-D 1.5)
CAUTION
  After driving at freeway speeds or up a long hill, idle the engine at least 30 seconds
before stopping it. Otherwise, the turbocharger could be damaged. However, when
i-stop operates, idling is unnecessary.
  Racing or over-revving the engine, particularly after it's just been started, can damage
the turbocharger.
  To protect the engine from damage, the engine is designed so that it cannot be raced
just after starting it in extremely cold weather.
The turbocharger greatly enhances engine power. Its advanced design provides improved
operation and requires minimum maintenance.
To get the most from it, observe the following.
1. Change engine oil and fi lter according to Scheduled Maintenance (page 6-3 ).
2. Use only recommended engine oil (page 6-23 ). Extra additives are NOT recommended.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
WARNING
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) when the vehicle is running on a chassis
roller or being towed:
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system to prevent mistaken operation
when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed. See the next page on
how to turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS).
Refer to Stopping The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation on page
4-143 .
CAUTION
  When driving off-road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recommended that
the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off.
  Always use tyres for all wheels that are of the specifi ed size, and the same
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tyres with signifi cantly
different wear patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
system may not operate normally.
  The laser sensor (front) includes a function for detecting a soiled windscreen and
informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect plastic
shopping bags, ice or snow on the windscreen. In such cases, the system cannot
accurately determine a vehicle ahead and may not be able to operate normally. Always
drive carefully and pay attention to the road ahead.
NOTE
  The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is
deliberately performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
  The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following
conditions.
 


 The engine is running.



 The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) warning light (amber) does not illuminate.



 The vehicle speed is between about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph).



 The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.



 The DSC is not malfunctioning.

than the recommended intervals.
*3 Implement the fuel injection amount correction.
*4 Also inspect the air conditioner drive belts, if installed.
If the vehicle is operated primarily under any of the following conditions, inspect the drive belts at every 20,000
km (12,500 miles) or 12 months .
a) Driving in dusty conditions
b) Extended periods of idling or low speed operation
c) Driving for long period in cold temperatures or driving regularly at short distance only
d) Driving in extremely hot conditions
e) Driving in mountainous conditions continually
*5 SKYACTIV-G 2.0 vehicles can select fl exible setting only some countries in Europe. Consult an Authorised
Mazda Repairer for details. Flexible setting can be set if the vehicle is operated mainly where none of the
following conditions apply.
a) Purpose of vehicle use is police car, taxi or driving school car.
b) Driving in dusty conditions
c) Extended periods of idling or low speed operation
Once the fl exible maintenance is selected, the vehicle calculates the remaining oil life based on engine operating
conditions and lets you know when an oil change is due by illuminating the wrench indicator light in the
instrument cluster.
Replace the engine oil and fi lter when message/wrench indicator light is ON. And they must be changed at least
once a year or within 20,000 km (12,500 miles) since last engine oil and fi lter change.
The system must be reset whenever replacing the engine oil regardless of the message/wrench indicator light
display.

Recommended Oil
In order to keep the maintenance interval (page 6-3 ) and to protect the engine from damage
caused by poor lubrication, it is vitally important to make use of engine oil with the correct
specifi cation. Do not use oils which do not meet the below specifi cation or requirements.
Use of unsuitable oil may lead to engine damage which is not covered by the Mazda
Warranty.

Engine oil viscosity, or thickness, has an effect on fuel economy and cold-weather operation
(starting and oil fl ow).
Low-viscosity engine oils can provide improved fuel economy and cold-weather
performance.
