I recommended a 2015 Mazda 6 with the i Grand touring trim to a friend of mine in Latin America. He says that he likes the vehicle and is considering importing one from the U.S. with the Technology package. But he says that the mechanics in his country may have difficulty maintaining the i-eloop technology in the vehicle. He likes the additional safety features in the Technology package, but wants to know if there is a way to disconnect/disable the i-eloop technology in the vehicle. He's concerned his mechanic might get electrocuted messing with it! Does an easy way exist to do this? Or is it not possible? Thanks. Here is a link that describes the technology in further detail. It's a technology to help reduce fuel consumption (1-2 mpg). https://rts.i-car.com/collision-repair-news/mazda-i-eloop-overview.html
