Video tutorial

In this video, you will learn about the Mazda i-stop system, which limits fuel consumption and reduces CO2 emissions and noise by turning off the engine when the vehicle stops. If you open the driver's door while the system is engaged, the indicator will flash.

The engine restarts when you release the clutch or brake. You can deactivate the function by pressing the button on the dashboard marked "i-stop OFF". You can monitor fuel savings using MZD Connect to view eco-driving information.

The system only operates under specific conditions, as indicated in the video; if these are not met, it will not function.
