i-ELOOP
*Some models.
i-ELOOP
*
i-ELOOP is a regenerative braking system. When you depress the brake pedal or use
engine braking, the kinetic energy that occurs is converted to electrical energy by the power
generator and the converted electrical energy is stored in the rechargeable battery (capacitor
and battery). The stored electricity is used as power to charge the battery and the vehicle's
electrical devices.
A variable voltage alternator is incorporated in the power generator which converts
the kinetic energy to electricity and can generate electricity ef
¿ ciently according to the
vehicle conditions.
A capacitor is used to store large amounts of electricity instantly which can be utilized
quickly.
A DC-DC converter is incorporated which steps down the stored electricity to voltage
useable by the vehicle's electrical devices.

When Driving
Drive Selection
*Some models.
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.
CAUTION
Do not use the sport mode when driving on slippery roads such as wet or snow-covered
roads. It may cause tyre slipping.
NOTE
When the sport mode is selected, driving at higher engine speeds increases and it may
increase fuel consumption. Mazda recommends to cancel the sport mode on normal
driving.
Drive mode cannot be switched in the following conditions:
ABS/TCS/DSC is operating
Steering wheel is being operated abruptly

NOTE
When the ignition is switched off, the
sport mode is cancelled.
Depending on the driving conditions
when sport mode is selected, the
vehicle may perform shift-down or
slightly accelerate.
Select Mode Indicator Light
When the sport mode is selected, the
select mode indicator light turns on in the
instrument cluster.
NOTE
If the drive selection cannot be switched
to sport mode, the select mode indicator

When Driving
Power Steering
Power Steering
Power steering is only operable when
the engine is running. If the engine is
off or if the power steering system is
inoperable, you can still steer, but it
requires more physical effort.
If the steering feels stiffer than usual
during normal driving or the steering
vibrates, consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
The warning light noti
¿ es the driver
of system abnormalities and operation
conditions.
In addition, the buzzer may also activate
depending on the system abnormality or
operation condition.
Refer to Warning Lights on page
4-38 .
Refer to Power Steering Warning Buzzer
on page 7-53 .
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel to the
extreme left or right for more than
5 seconds with the engine running.
This could damage the power steering
system.

i-ACTIVSENSE
*Some models.
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.
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.

The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the radiator grille.
Refer to Radar Sensor (Front) on page 4-176 .
4–104
When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
Laser sensor (front)
The laser sensor (front) emits a near-infrared laser beam and receives the beam re
À ected
off the re
À ective surface of a vehicle in front, and the detected beam is then used for
measurement. The following systems also use the laser sensor (front).
Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The laser sensor (front) is installed at the top of the windscreen near the rearview mirror.
Refer to Laser Sensor (Front) on page 4-179 .

À ected off a vehicle
approaching from the rear or an obstruction sent from the radar sensors. The following
systems also use the radar sensors (rear).
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
Rear Cross Traf
¿ c Alert (RCTA)
The radar sensors (rear) are installed inside the rear bumper, one each on the left and right
sides.
Refer to Radar Sensors (Rear) on page 4-181 .

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
*Some models.
High Beam Control System (HBC)
*
The High Beam Control System (HBC) determines the conditions in front of the vehicle
using the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) while driving in darkness to automatically switch
the headlights between high and low beams.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-38 .
While driving the vehicle at a speed of about 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, the headlights are
switched to high beams when there are no vehicles ahead or approaching in the opposite
direction.
The system switches the headlights to low beams when one of the following occurs:
The system detects a vehicle or the headlights/lights of a vehicle approaching in the
opposite direction.
The vehicle is driven on roads lined with streetlamps or on roads in well-lit cities and
towns.
The vehicle is driven at less than about 20 km/h (12 mph).
Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC)
The recognition distance of the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
varies according to the
surrounding conditions.
The warning light
À ashes when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-38 .
CAUTION
Do not adjust the vehicle height, modify the headlight units, or remove the camera,
otherwise the system will not operate normally.
Do not rely excessively on the High Beam Control System (HBC) and drive the
vehicle while paying suf
¿ cient attention to safety. Switch the headlights between the
high beams and low beams manually if necessary.
