Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)í
lThe LDWS notifies the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane.lThe system detects the white (yellow) lines on the traffic lane using the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) and if it determines that the vehicle may be deviating from its
lane, it notifies the driver by flashing the LDWS indicator light (green) and operating the
LDWS warning sound.
lUse the LDWS when you drive the vehicle on roads with white (yellow) lines.lFor vehicles with type A instrument cluster, check the vehicle condition or have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer according to the indication.
lA system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-23.
Refer to Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) Warning Sound on page 7-41.
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
WARNING
Do not use the LDWS under the following conditions:
The system may not operate adequately according to the actual driving conditions,
resulting in an accident.
ØDriving on roads with tight curves.
ØDriving under bad weather conditions (rain, fog, and snow).
The functions of the LDWS have limitations:
Always stay on course using the steering wheel and drive with care. The system is
not designed to compensate for a driver's lack of caution, and if you rely too much
on the LDWS it could lead to an accident. The driver is responsible for assuring lane
changes and other maneuvers. Always pay attention to the direction in which the
vehicle is traveling and the vehicle's surroundings.

CAUTION
ØDo not modify the suspension. If the vehicle height or the damping force of the
suspensions is changed, the LDWS may not operate correctly.
ØDo not remove the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). Otherwise, the system will not
operate normally.
ØHeed the following cautions to assure correct operation of the LDWS.
ØDo not place objects on the dashboard which reflect light.
ØKeep the area of the windshield glass near the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
clean.
ØDo not apply accessories, stickers or film to the windshield near the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC). If there are objects in front of the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) lens, even a transparent sticker, they will obstruct the lens and
cause the system to not operate correctly.
ØBefore performing repairs around the rearview mirror, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
ØAlways keep the windshield glass around the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
clean. If the windshield fogs, defog it using the front defroster.
ØWhen cleaning the windshield, do not allow glass cleaners or similar cleaning
fluids to get on the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens. In addition, do not
touch the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens.

light). Steer the vehicle adequately to drive the vehicle to the center of the lane.
lWhen the turn signal lever is operated for a lane change, the LDWS warning is automatically
canceled. The LDWS warning becomes operable when the turn signal lever is returned and the
system detects the white (yellow) lines.
lIf the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the vehicle moves
close to a white (yellow) line, the system determines that the driver is making a lane change and
the LDWS warning is automatically canceled.
lThe LDWS may not operate during the period immediately after the vehicle has deviated from its
lane and the LDWS has operated, or the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly within a short
period of time.
lThe LDWS does not operate if it does not detect the white (yellow) lines of the traffic lane.lUnder the following conditions, the LDWS may not be able to detect white (yellow) lines correctly

Operating Tips
lOperate the climate control system
with the engine running.
lTo prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
dial on for a long period of time with
the ignition switched ON when the
engine is not running.
lClear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system efficiency.
lUse the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
lThe recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while
in a traffic jam, or when you would like
to shut off outside air for quick cooling
of the interior.
lUse the outside air mode for ventilation
or windshield defrosting.
lIf the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the climate control system.
lRun the air conditioner about 10
minutes at least once a month to keep
internal parts lubricated.
lHave the air conditioner checked
before the weather gets hot. Lack of
refrigerant may make the air
conditioner less efficient.
The refrigerant specifications are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment.
Check the label before refilling the
refrigerant. If the wrong type of
refrigerant is used, it could result in a
serious malfunction of the air
conditioner.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
