Starting the Engine
For details, refer to Section 4, “Start/Stop Engine”.
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
• The starter does not rotate until the glow indicator light turns off.
• When starting the engine, do not release the clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or
the brake pedal (automatic transaxle) until the glow indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns off and the engine starts, after pressing the push button
start.
1. Make sure the parking brake is on.
2. Continue to press the brake pedal firmly until
the engine has completely started.
3. (Manual transaxle)
Continue to press the clutch pedal firmly until
the engine has completely started.
(Automatic transaxle)
Put the vehicle in park (P). If you must restart the
engine while the vehicle is moving, shift into
neutral (N).
4. Press the push button start after both the KEY indicator
light (green) (if equipped) in the instrument cluster and
the push button start indicator light (green) illuminate.

When Driving
For details, refer to Section 4, “Start/Stop Engine”.
Operation of i-stop Function
The i-stop function automatically stops the engine when the vehicle is stopped at a
traffic light or stuck in traffic, and then restarts the engine automatically to resume
driving. The system provides improved fuel economy, reduced exhaust gas
emissions, and eliminates idling noise while the engine is stopped.
Engine idle stopping and restarting
NOTE
• The i-stop indicator light (green) turns on under the following conditions:
• When engine idling is stopped.
• The i-stop indicator light (green) turns off when the engine is restarted.
Manual transaxle
2. While depressing the clutch pedal, shift the shift lever to the neutral position.
Engine idling stops after the clutch pedal is released.
3. The engine restarts automatically when the clutch pedal is depressed. 1. Stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal and then the clutch pedal.
Automatic transaxle
2. The engine restarts automatically when the brake pedal is released with the
selector lever in the D or M position (not in second gear fixed mode).
3. If the selector lever is in the N or P position, the engine does not restart when
the brake pedal is released. The engine restarts when the brake pedal is
depressed again or the selector lever is shifted to the D, M (not in second gear
fixed mode) or the R position. (For the purposes of safety, always keep the
brake pedal depressed when shifting the selector lever while engine idling is
stopped.) 1. Engine idling stops when the brake pedal is depressed while the vehicle is
driven (except for driving in the R or M position second gear fixed mode) and
the vehicle is stopped.Engine idling stop conditions are met while the vehicle is being driven. • (Except European model)

ignition must be switched ON).
Indicates the selector lever can be

Drive Selection Switch
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. Use the
sport mode when higher vehicle response is required such as merging onto
expressway or accelerating to overtake.
2. Pull the drive selection switch to the side
(backward) to cancel the sport mode.
1. Press the drive selection switch to the
side (forward) to select the sport mode.
Select Mode Indicator Light
When the sport mode is selected, the select mode
indication turns on in the instrument cluster.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Transaxle”, “Drive Selection”.

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)
• Adaptive LED Headlights
• Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
• Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
• Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
• Driver attention alert
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.

14For details, refer to Section 4, “Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)”.
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to maintain
headway control according to the vehicle speed using a radar sensor to detect the
distance to a vehicle ahead, and by presetting the vehicle speed between 30 km/h
(19 mph) and 145 km/h (90 mph), the driver is freed from having to constantly use
the accelerator or brake pedals.
Use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system on expressways and other
highways which do not require a lot of repeated acceleration and deceleration.
Do not rely completely on the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
and always drive carefully:
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system has limitations in its ability to
detect vehicles ahead depending on the weather and road conditions.
Additionally, the system may be unable to decelerate sufficiently to avoid
hitting the vehicle ahead if the vehicle ahead applies the brakes suddenly or
another vehicle cuts into the driving lane, which could result in an accident.
Check the safety of the surroundings and pay sufficient attention to the
distance between your vehicle and the vehicles travelling in front and behind.
WARNING
Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system in the
following locations. Otherwise, it could lead to an accident:
• Roads with sharp curves, heavy traffic, or roads requiring repeated and
frequent acceleration.
• When entering expressway interchanges and service areas.
• Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads.
• Long descending slopes. Additionally, if your vehicle starts closing in on the vehicle ahead because, for
example, the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, a warning sound and a warning
indication in the display are activated simultaneously to alert you to maintain a
sufficient distance between the vehicles.

The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system may be cancelled during rain,
fog, snow or other inclement weather conditions, or when the front surface of the
radiator grille is dirty.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, operation of the Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) system is temporarily cancelled, a cancel indication is indicated in the
display in the instrument cluster, and the MRCC indicator light (green) turns off
simultaneously.
• The CANCEL switch is pressed or the brake pedal is depressed.
The setting status of the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is indicated
in the display in the instrument cluster.
A system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.
• The parking brake is applied.
• The shift lever is in the P, N, or R position (for manual transaxle vehicles,
R position only).
• The vehicle speed decreases to less than 25 km (16mph).
• The DSC, Smart Brake Support (SBS) system, or the Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) system is operating.
• A system malfunction is detected.
Other details are described in the related text.

Setting the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
How to Set the Distance Between Vehicles During Headway Control
The distance between vehicles is set to a shorter distance each time the switch is
pressed. The distance between vehicles is set to a longer distance by pressing the
switch. The distance-between-vehicles can be set to 4 levels; Long, medium, short,
and extremely short distance.

Change the Set Vehicle Speed
Changing the set vehicle speed using the SET + / SET - switch
Press and hold the SET + or SET - switch to adjust the set vehicle speed in 10 km/h
(5 mph) increments.
The set vehicle speed can also be adjusted in 1 km/h (1 mph) (European models)
or 5 km/h (5 mph) (Except European models) increments by pressing and
releasing the SET + or SET - switch immediately.
To accelerate using the accelerator pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press and release the SET + or SET - switch at
the desired speed. If a switch cannot be operated, the system returns to the set
speed when you release your foot from the accelerator pedal.
Close Proximity Warning
If your vehicle rapidly closes in on the vehicle ahead
because the vehicle applies the brakes suddenly while you
are travelling in headway control, the warning sound
activates and the brake warning is indicated in the display.
Always verify the safety of the surrounding area and
depress the brake pedal while keeping a safe distance from
the vehicle ahead. Additionally, always keep a safer
distance from the vehicles behind you.
