Switches and Controls
NOTE

 The headlights, other exterior lights and instrument panel illumination may not turn
off immediately even if the surrounding area becomes well-lit because the light sensor
determines that it is night time if the surrounding area is continuously dark for several
minutes such as inside long tunnels, traffi c jams inside tunnels, or in indoor parking
lots.
 In this case, the lights turn off if the light switch is turned to the position.
  When the headlight switch is in the position and the ignition is switched to ACC
or the ignition is switched off, the headlights, other exterior lights and instrument panel
illumination will turn off.
  The instrument panel illumination can be adjusted by rotating the knob in the
instrument cluster. Also, the antidazzle mode can be changed by rotating the knob until
a beep sound is heard. To adjust the brightness of the instrument panel illumination:
Refer to Instrument panel Illumination on page 4-28 .

 The sensitivity of the AUTO lights may be changed by an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Refer to Personalisation Features on page 9-16 .
Xenon fusion headlight bulbs
*
The low-beam bulbs of the headlights have xenon fusion bulbs that produce a bright white
beam over a wide area.
WARNING
Do not replace the xenon fusion bulbs yourself
Replacing the xenon fusion bulbs yourself is dangerous. Because the xenon fusion
bulbs require high voltage, you could receive an electric shock if the bulbs are handled
incorrectly. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer
when the replacement is necessary.
NOTE
If the headlights fl icker, or the brightness weakens, the bulb-life may be depleted and a
replacement is necessary. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.

Low beam
When the headlight high-beams are on,
the headlight high-beam indicator light is
turned on.
Flashing the Headlights
T o fl ash the headlights, pull the lever fully
towards you (the headlight switch does not
need to be on).
OFF
Flashing
The headlight high-beam indicator light
in the instrument cluster illuminates
simultaneously. The lever will return to the
normal position when released.

i-ACTIVSENSE
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 safer 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.
Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer driving by helping the driver to recognise potential
hazards and avert accidents.

Camera and Sensors
Forward sensing camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of the vehicle while
travelling at night and detects traffi c lanes. The following systems also use the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
 


 High Beam Control system (HBC)



 Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed at the top of the windscreen near the
rearview mirror.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) on page 4-148 .
Radar sensor (front)
The radar sensor (front) functions by detecting the radio waves refl ected off a vehicle ahead
sent from the radar sensor. The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).
 


 Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)



 Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)



 Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the radiator grille.
Refer to Radar Sensor (Front) on page 4-150 .
Laser sensor (front)
The laser sensor (front) emits a near-infrared laser beam and receives the beam refl ected
off the refl ective surface of a vehicle in front, and the detected beam is then used for
measurement. The following systems also use the laser sensor (front).
 


 Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
The laser sensor (front) is installed at the top of the windscreen near the rearview mirror.
Refer to Laser Sensor (Front) on page 4-153 .
