i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety and driver
support systems which make use of detection devices such as the forward sensing
camera (FSC) and radar sensors. These systems consist of active safety and
pre-crash safety systems.
Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safe and assured driving by helping the driver to
recognise potential hazards and avert accidents. The following systems incorporate
the Active Safety Technologies that support the driver's awareness and safe driving.
Driver awareness support systems
Nighttime visibility
• High Beam Control System (HBC)
Forward/rear detection
• Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
Rear obstruction detection when leaving a parking space
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
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.The following
systems adopt the pre-crash safety technology.
Collision damage reduction in low vehicle speed range
• Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
Driver Support System
• Adjustable Speed Limiter
These systems are designed to assist the driver in safe 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.
• Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
Mazda28EC6-EE-14LEdition1QuickGuide.indb14 2014/09/2918:13:41

When Driving
13
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a
near-infrared laser beam and receiving the beam reflected off the reflector of the
vehicle ahead, and then using it for the measurement. Consequently, the Smart
City Brake Support (SCBS) may not operate under the following conditions:
• Trucks with low loading platforms, vehicles travelling at extremely low
speeds, and vehicles with a high profile.
Do not rely completely on the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system:
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) is a system which operates in response to a
vehicle ahead. It does not apply to two-wheeled vehicles or pedestrians.
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able
to correctly detect vehicles or obstructions ahead resulting in the Smart
City Brake Support (SCBS) system not operating normally or mistakenly
operating, which could cause a serious accident.
WARNING
Do not modify the suspension:
NOTE
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision by operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the
system's laser sensor detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision with
the vehicle ahead is unavoidable.
It may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph).
For details, refer to Section 4, “Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)”.
• Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
• The window washer is being used or the windscreen wipers are not used
when its raining.
• The windscreen is dirty.
• The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is
accelerated rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.Other details are
described in the related text.

i-ELOOP System
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 storage device.
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 efficiently
according to the vehicle conditions.
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ELOOP”.
• A capacitor is incorporated in the storage device used for storing the generated
electricity, which can store large amounts of electricity instantly and 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
X MarkFullLow
Diesel Particulate Filter
The diesel particulate filter collects and removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
Inspect the engine oil level periodically. When inspecting the engine oil, if the
engine oil level is exceeds the “X” mark on the dipstick, replace the engine oil.
Whenever the engine oil is replaced, the vehicles engine control unit needs to be
reset as soon as possible. Otherwise the wrench indicator light or engine oil
warning light may turn on.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Tyre Pressure Monitoring System”,“Diesel Particulate
Filter” or Section 6, “Owner Maintenance”.
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 tyre pressure monitoring system warning
light is illuminated.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
To reset the engine control unit, refer to the vehicle engine control unit reset
procedure or consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.

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”.
