i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety and driver
support systems which make use of a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and radar
sensors.
These systems consist of active safety and pre-crash safety systems.
Driver awareness support systems
• Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
• High-Beam Control system (HBC)
• Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
• Rear Vehicle Monitoring (RVM) System
• Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
These systems are designed to assist the driver in safer driving by reducing the load
on the driver and helping to avert collisions or reduce their severity. However,
because each system has its limitations, always drive carefully and do not rely
solely on the systems.
Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer driving by helping the driver to recognise
potential hazards and avert accidents.
Nighttime visibility
Forward/rear detection
Inter-vehicle distance recognition
• Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
Inter-vehicle distance
• Adjustable Speed Limiter
Speed control
Collision damage reduction in low vehicle speed range
• Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
Pre-Crash Safety Technology
Pre-crash safety technology is designed to assist the driver in averting collisions or
reduce their severity in situations where they cannot be avoided.
Forward driving
• Smart Brake Support (SBS)
Collision damage reduction in medium/high speed range

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.

If Trouble Arises

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”.
