When Driving 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 safe driving by reducing the load on the driver and helping to avert collisions or reduce their severity.
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.
When Driving Setting the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) 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 parking brake is applied. • The shift lever is in the P, N, or R position (for manual transaxle vehicles, R position only).
When Driving Setting the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) CANCEL switch RESUME switch Switch Switch OFF switch Cruise control SET+/SET- switch ON switch When the ON switch is pressed, the vehicle speed and the distance between vehicles while in headway control can be set. The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) indication is displayed in the display of the instrument cluster. How to Set the Speed 1. Adjust the vehicle speed to the desired setting using the accelerator pedal. 2.
When Driving 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.
When Driving Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)/Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F) The Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F) is a system designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control when the system’s laser sensor (front) detects a vehicle ahead and the system determines that a collision is unavoidable.
When Driving Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)/Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) NOTE • (Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)) The Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F) 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.
When Driving Smart Brake Support (SBS) Smart Brake Support (SBS) is a system which alerts the driver of a possible collision using an indicator and warning sound in the instrument cluster while the vehicle is being driven at about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster) and the system's radar sensor determines that your vehicle may hit a vehicle ahead.
When Driving Smart Brake Support (SBS) NOTE The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system may not operate under the following conditions: • If there is the possibility of hitting only a part of a vehicle ahead. • The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead. • The brake pedal, steering wheel, selector lever, or a direction indicator is operated. Other details are described in the related text.
When Driving i-ELOOP System On conventional vehicles, the kinetic energy that is generated when the vehicle is decelerated by applying the brakes or during engine braking ends up being discarded as heat. By utilizing this discarded kinetic energy to generate electricity and use it to power the vehicle's electrical devices and accessories such as the A/C and audio, fuel consumption can be reduced.
When Driving i-ELOOP Charging Display If the vehicle is driven while “i-ELOOP charging” is displayed, a beep sound is heard. Make sure the message is no longer displayed before driving. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all four wheels. 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.

Maintenance and Care Owner Maintenance Precautions Routine Service We highly recommend that these items be inspected daily, or at least every week. • Engine Oil Level • Engine Coolant Level • Brake and Clutch Fluid Level • Washer Fluid Level • Battery Maintenance • Tyre Inflation Pressure SKYACTIV-G 2.0 and SKYACTIV-G 2.5 Windscreen washer fluid reservoir Brake/Clutch fluid reservoir Battery Fuse block Engine oil dipstick Cooling system cap Engine coolant reservoir Engine oil-filler cap SKYACTIV-D 2.
If Trouble Arises 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.
