When Driving
Starting the 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.
• If the clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic transaxle) is
released before the engine starts, depress the clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or
the brake pedal (automatic transaxle) again and press the push button start to
start the engine.
• If the ignition is left switched ON for a long period of time without the engine
running after the glow plugs are warmed up, the glow plugs may warm up again
which will illuminate the glow indicator light.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Start/Stop Engine”.

When Driving
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)

Various Lockouts:
Indicates that you must depress
the brake pedal and hold in the
lock-release button to shift (The
ignition must be switched ON).
Indicates the selector lever can be
shifted freely into any position.
Indicates that you must hold in
the lock-release button to shift.
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. This provides
additional quick acceleration which may be needed to safely make manoeuvres such
as lane changes, merging onto freeways, or passing other vehicles.
Pull the drive selection switch back (“ ”) to
cancel the sport mode. Press the drive selection switch forward (“ ”)
to select the sport mode.
Select Mode Indication
When the sport mode is selected, the select mode
indication turns on in the instrument cluster.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Automatic Transaxle” or “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 (ALH)
• Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
• Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
• Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
• Driver attention alert (DAA)
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
Left/right side and rear side detection
Inter-vehicle distance recognition
Driver fatigue detection
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)

• Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)
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 City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R)
• Smart Brake Support (SBS)
Reverse driving
Collision damage reduction in medium/high speed range
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
• Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
Road sign recognition
• Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)
18
When Driving
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed on the active driving
display, the warning sound is activated and the area around the speed limit sign
displayed on the active driving display flashes 3 times in amber, and if the vehicle
speed continues to exceed the displayed speed limit sign, the indication stops
flashing and remains on. Check the surrounding conditions and adjust the vehicle
speed to the legal speed using the appropriate operation such as depressing the
brake pedal.
Excessive Speed Warning
NOTE
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) does not operate if there is a
malfunction in the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
19
When Driving
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, which frees the driver from having to use the
accelerator or brake pedals.
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 possible vehicle speed setting ranges are as follows:
• (European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 200 km/h (124 mph)
• (Except European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 145 km/h (90 mph)
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
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:
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.
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to reduce load
on the driver, and although it maintains a constant vehicle speed, or
specifically, it maintains a constant distance between your vehicle and the
detected vehicle ahead according to the vehicle speed, the system has detection
limitations depending on the type of vehicle ahead and its conditions, the
weather conditions, and the 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. 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.
