Selector lever is operated while engine idling is stopped (automatic transaxle)
If the selector lever is shifted from D or M (not in second gear fixed mode) position to N or
P position while engine idling is stopped, the engine does not restart even when the brake
pedal is released. The engine will restart if the brake pedal is depressed again or the
selector lever is shifted to the D, M (not in second gear fixed mode), or R position. (For the
purposes of safety, always keep the brake pedal depressed when shifting the selector lever
while engine idling is stopped.)
If the selector lever is shifted from the D or M (not in second gear fixed mode) to the N or P
position, and the driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door is opened, the engine
restarts.
Battery terminals are disconnected
Engine idling may not stop right after the batte ry terminals are disconnected. In addition, if
the battery is replaced, the i-stop functions must be verified. Consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

▼Vehicle Roll Prevention Function (Automatic transaxle)
Vehicles with the i-stop function are equipped with a vehicle r
oll prevention function. This
function prevents the vehicle fr om rolling, such as when releas ing the brake pedal while on
a slope under the following conditions:
•While engine idling is stopped (prevents the vehicle from rolling back)
•When the engine restarts after re leasing the brake pedal (prevents the vehicle's sudden
movement due to vehicle creep), sudden movement of the vehicle is prevented by
controlling the brakes.

Do not rely completely on the vehicle roll prevention function.
The vehicle roll prevention function is a supplementary function which operates for a
maximum of four seconds after releasing the brake pedal and accelerating the vehicle from
an engine idling stop condition. Over relian ce on the system may result in an unexpected
accident if the vehicle were to suddenly acce lerate. Before starting to drive the vehicle,
always confirm the safety of the surroundings and operate the selector lever, brake pedal,
and accelerator pedal appropriately. Note th at the vehicle may move suddenly depending
on the vehicle's load or if it is towing something.

Note that the vehicle may move suddenly af ter the vehicle roll prevention function is
released while the vehicle is un der the following conditions:
The selector lever is in the N position.
If the selector lever is shifted to the N position and the brake pedal is released while the
i-stop function is operating, the brake force is gradually released. To accelerate the
vehicle, release the brake pedal after the engi ne restarts and shift the selector lever to a
position other than the N position.
NOTE
•When the vehicle is stopped on a steep grade, the vehicle roll prevention function does not
operate because engine idling is not stopped.
•The brake pedal response may change, sound may occur from the brakes, or the brake
pedal could vibrate from the operation of the vehicle roll prevention function. However,
this does not indicate a malfunction.
