When Driving
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
Smart Brake Support (SBS) is a system which alerts the driver of a possible
collision using an indicator and warning sound in the instrument cluster while the
vehicle is being driven at about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster) and the
system's radar sensor (front) determines that your vehicle may hit a vehicle ahead.
Furthermore, if the radar sensor (front) determines that a collision is unavoidable,
the automatic brake control is performed to reduce damage in the event of a
collision.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Smart Brake Support (SBS)”.
Do not rely completely on the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system and always
drive carefully:
Smart Brake Support (SBS) is only designed to reduce damage in the event of a
collision. The ability to detect an obstruction is limited depending on the obstruction,
weather conditions, or traffic conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator pedal or brake
pedal is mistakenly operated it could result in an accident. Always verify the safety of
the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping
a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.

Smart Brake Support (SBS)
NOTE
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system may not operate under the following
conditions:
• The brake pedal, steering wheel, selector lever, or a direction indicator is
operated.
Although the objects which activate the system are 4-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.
• Two-wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles, pedestrians, trees
If there is the possibility of a collision with a
vehicle ahead, the beep sounds continuously
and a warning is indicated in the display.
Collision Warning

Other details are described in the related text.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Smart Brake Support (SBS)”.
• If there is the possibility of hitting only a part of a vehicle ahead.
• The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.
• Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve (including guardrails and
snow banks).
• 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.

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 Regenerative Braking System (i-ELOOP).
i-ELOOP Warning Beep
The beep will sound if the vehicle is driven while the
i-ELOOP indicator light is flashing. Make sure that
the i-ELOOP indicator light has stopped flashing
before driving.
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ELOOP” or Section 7,
“Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds”.

When Driving
Diesel Particulate Filter
The diesel particulate filter collects and eliminates most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of the diesel engine for improved exhaust gas processing
ability.
While the particulate matter (PM) collected in the diesel particulate filter is
eliminated automatically, fuel may be mixed with the engine oil increasing the
engine oil level. If the engine oil level exceeds the “X” mark on the dipstick,
replace the engine oil.
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.

Inspecting Engine Oil Level
If the engine oil level exceeds the “X” mark on the dipstick, replace the engine oil.
For details, refer to Section 6, “Owner Maintenance”.
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.
After replacing the engine oil, have a repair shop such as an Authorised Mazda
Repairer perform the initialization (engine oil data resetting) of the recorded value.
If the value recorded by the computer is not initialized, the wrench indicator light
may not turn off or it may turn on earlier than normal.
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 warning light flashes.
3. After the master warning light flashes for several seconds, the initial-
ization is completed.
