Drive Selection Switch
Drive Selection
Drive selection is a system to switch the vehicle's drive mode. When the sport mode
is selected, vehicle's response against accelerator operation is enhanced. Use the
sport mode when higher vehicle response is required such as merging onto
expressway or accelerating to overtake.
2. Pull the drive selection switch to the side
(backward) to cancel the sport mode.
1. Press the drive selection switch to the
side (forward) to select the sport mode.
Select Mode Indicator Light
When the sport mode is selected, the select mode
indication turns on in the instrument cluster.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Transaxle”, “Drive Selection”.

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.
Driver awareness support systems
• Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
• High-Beam Control system (HBC)
• Adaptive LED Headlights
• Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
• Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
• Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
• Driver attention alert
These systems are designed to assist the driver in safe 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 safe and assured driving by helping the driver to
recognise potential hazards and avert accidents.
Nighttime visibility
Forward/rear detection
Inter-vehicle distance recognition
Driver fatigue detection
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)

• Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
• Lane-keep assist system
Inter-vehicle distance

• Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)
Pre-Crash Safety Technology
Pre-crash safety technology is designed to assist the driver in averting collisions or
reduce their severity in situations where they cannot be avoided.

• Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R)
• Smart Brake Support (SBS)

When Driving
For details, refer to Section 4, “Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)”.
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to maintain
headway control according to the vehicle speed using a radar sensor to detect the
distance to a vehicle ahead, which frees the driver from having to use the
accelerator or brake pedals.
Additionally, if your vehicle starts closing in on the vehicle ahead because, for
example, the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, a warning sound and a warning
indication in the display are activated simultaneously to alert you to maintain a
sufficient distance between the vehicles.
Use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system on expressways and other
highways which do not require a lot of repeated acceleration and deceleration. The possible vehicle speed setting ranges are as follows:
Do not rely completely on the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
and always drive carefully:
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system has limitations in its ability to
detect vehicles ahead depending on the weather and road conditions.
Additionally, the system may be unable to decelerate sufficiently to avoid
hitting the vehicle ahead if the vehicle ahead applies the brakes suddenly or
another vehicle cuts into the driving lane, which could result in an accident.
Check the safety of the surroundings and pay sufficient attention to the
distance between your vehicle and the vehicles travelling in front and behind.
WARNING
Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system in the
following locations. Otherwise, it could lead to an accident:
• Roads with sharp curves, heavy traffic, or roads requiring repeated and
frequent acceleration.
• When entering expressway interchanges and service areas.
• Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads.
• Long descending slopes.
• (European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 200 km/h (124 mph)
• (Except European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 145 km/h (90 mph)

The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system may be cancelled during rain,
fog, snow or other inclement weather conditions, or when the front surface of the
radiator grille is dirty.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, operation of the Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) system is temporarily cancelled, a cancel indication is indicated in the
display in the instrument cluster, and the MRCC indicator light (green) turns off
simultaneously.
• The CANCEL switch is pressed or the brake pedal is depressed.
The setting status of the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is indicated
in the display in the instrument cluster.
A system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.
• The parking brake is applied.
• The shift lever is in the P, N, or R position (for manual transaxle vehicles,
R position only).
• The vehicle speed decreases to less than 25 km (16mph).
• The DSC, Smart Brake Support (SBS) system, or the Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) system is operating.
• A system malfunction is detected.
Other details are described in the related text.
