i-ELOOPí
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).

Drive Selectioní
Mazda Drive Selection provides an opportunity to select a different driving characteristic
when SPORT mode is activated. By selecting SPORT mode, greater vehicle response is
achieved through automatic adjustments in transaxle shift control and engine throttle
control. This provides additional quick acceleration which may be needed to safely make
maneuvers such as lane changes, merging onto freeways, or passing other vehicles.
WARNING
Do not turn SPORT mode on while driving on slippery roads such as wet or snow-
covered roads:
Otherwise, the tires will slip which could lead to an accident.
NOTE
If driving long distances in SPORT mode, the fuel economy will decrease due to the frequency of
driving in lower gears. Driving in SPORT mode all of the time is not recommended. SPORT mode is
best used only in situations requiring quick, responsive driving.
