i-ELOOP*
The i-ELOOP system suppresses engine load used for generating power and improves
driveability and fuel economy by generating electricity with th e kinetic energy that is
generated when the vehicle slows down by applying the brakes or during engine braking.
Stores large amounts of electricity instantly and efficiently u ses the electricity for electrical
devices and accessories.

message is displayed, it will feel heavier
than normal, but this does not indicate an
abnormality. Stop the vehicle in a safe
location with the engine running and do
not attempt to turn the steering wheel. The
steering operation will return to normal
after the message is no longer displayed.

Drive Selection*
Drive selection is a system to switch the vehicle's drive mode. When the sport mode is
selected, vehicle's response against accelerator operation is enhanced. This provides
additional quick acceleration which may be needed to safely mak e manoeuvres such as lane
changes, merging onto freeways, or passing other vehicles.
CAUTION
Do not use the sport mode when driving on slip pery roads such as wet or snow-covered roads.
It may cause tyre slipping.
NOTE
•When the sport mode is selected, driving at higher engine speeds increases and it may
increase fuel consumption. Mazda recommends that you cancel the sport mode on normal
driving.
•Drive mode cannot be switched in the following conditions:
•ABS/TCS/DSC is operating
•The Mazda Radar Cruise Control with St op & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function) System/Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system/cruise control is
operating.
•Steering wheel is being operated abruptly
▼ Drive Selection Switch
Press the drive selection switch forward
(“
”) to select the sport mode.
Pull the drive selection switch back
(“
”) to cancel the sport mode.

NOTE
•When the ignition is switched off, the
sport mode is cancelled.
•Depending on the driving conditions
when sport mode is selected, the vehicle
may perform shift-down or slightly
accelerate.
▼ Select Mode Indication
When the sport mode is selected, the select
mode indication turns on in the instrument
cluster.

Power Steering
•Power steering is only operable when
the engine is running. If the engine is off
or if the power steering system is
inoperable, you can still steer, but it
requires more physical effort.
If the steering feels stiffer than usual
during normal driving or the steering
vibrates, consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
•The warning indication/warning light
notifies the driver of system
abnormalities and operation conditions.
In addition, the buzzer may also activate
depending on the system abnormality or
operation condition.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning
Lights on page 4-42.
Refer to Power Steering Warning
Buzzer on page 7-66.
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel to the
extreme left or right for more than 5
seconds with the engine running. This
could damage the power steering system.

Long, descending slopes (to maintain distance between vehicles, the system automatically
and continuously applies the brakes which could result in the loss of brake power.)
 Slopes with a steep gradient (The vehicle ahea d may not be detected correctly, your vehicle
may slide while stopped by the stop hold control, and it may accelerate suddenly after it
starts moving.)
For safety purposes, switch the MRCC system off when it is not being used.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is towed or you are towing some thing, switch the MRCC system off to prevent a
miss-operation.
NOTE
•The MRCC system does not detect the following as physical objects.
•Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction
•Pedestrians
•Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
•If a vehicle ahead is travelling at an extre mely low speed, the system may not detect it
correctly.
•During headway control travel, do not set the system for detection of two-wheeled
vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles.
•Do not use the MRCC system under conditions in which close proximity warnings are
frequently activated.
•During headway control travel, the system accelerates and decelerates your vehicle in
conjunction with the speed of the vehicle ahead. However, if it is necessary to accelerate
for a lane change or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly causing you to close in on the
vehicle rapidly, accelerate using the accelerator pedal or decelerate using the brake
pedal depending on the conditions.
•While the MRCC system is in use, it does not cancel even if the selector lever (automatic
transaxle)/shift lever (manual transaxle) is operated and any intended engine braking will
not occur. If deceleration is required, lower the vehicle speed setting or depress the brake
pedal.
•The sound of the automatic brakes operating may be heard, however, it does not indicate
a problem.
•The brake lights turn on while the MRCC automatic braking is operating, however, they
may not turn on while the vehicle is on a downslope at the set vehicle speed or travelling
at a constant speed and following a vehicle ahead.

How to set the distance-between-vehicles during headway control
The distance-between-vehicles is set to a shorter distance by pressing the switch. The
distance-between-vehicles is set to a longer distance by pressi ng the
switch. The
distance-between-vehicles can be set to 4 levels; Long, medium, short, and extremely short
distance.

*1 Displays a pop-up image in the a ctive driving display only when the driver operates the switch.
NOTE
•The distance-between-vehicles differs depending on the vehicle speed, and the slower the
vehicle speed, the shorter the distance.
•When the ignition is switched to ACC or OFF and then the engine is started again, the
system automatically sets the distance-between-vehicles to the previous setting.

▼Shift-up/Shift-down Request Display (Manual Transaxle)
The shift-up or shift-down reque
st display in the active driving display or multi-information
display may be indicated while the MRCC is operating. When this occurs, shift gears
because the gear position is not appropriate.

NOTE
If the gears are not shifted up/down even t hough the shift-up/down request indication is
displayed, load will be applied to the engine and the MRCC system may be automatically
cancelled or engine damage could occur.
▼ Cruise Control Function
While this function is operating, the
headway control operation is cancelled
and only the cruise control function
operates.
The vehicle speed can be set more than
about 25 km/h (16 mph).
Use the cruise c
ontrol function on
expressways and other highways which do
not require a lot of repeated acceleration
and deceleration.
WA R N I N G
Do not use the cruise control function in
the following locations:
Otherwise, it could lead to an accident.
 Roads with sharp curves and where
vehicle traffic is heavy and there is
insufficient space between vehicles.
(Driving under these conditions using the
cruise control function is not possible)
 Steep down slopes (Set speed may be
exceeded because sufficient engine
braking cannot be applied)
 Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound
roads (Tyres could spin causing you to
lose vehicle control)
