i-ELOOP

i-ELOOP (if equipped)

The Mazda-unique regenerative braking system (i-ELOOP) generates  
and stores electrical energy in a capacitor during deceleration. Through 
efficient energy regeneration, storage, and usage, fuel economy is  
improved. To view i-ELOOP information, select Applications from  
the Home screen, then scroll down to Fuel Economy Monitor.

i-ELOOP Pre-Charge Mode

If the capacitor is discharged because of vehicle storage (the vehicle is 

parked for long periods of time), the i-ELOOP indicator in the instrument 

cluster will flash and a 

warning screen appears 

on the screen of the 

infotainment system.

When this warning screen appears, do not drive the 

vehicle. Allow the engine to idle until the warning 

screen disappears. This time is needed for normal 

generator operation.
