When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
  The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a near-
infrared laser beam and receiving the beam refl ected off the refl ector of the vehicle
ahead, and then using it for the measurement. Consequently, the Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) may not operate under the following conditions:
 


 Refl ection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.



 The vehicle ahead is signifi cantly dirty.



 Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.



 The window washer is being used or the windscreen wipers are not used when it's
raining.
 


 The windscreen is dirty.



 The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is accelerated
rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
 


 Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high
profi le.




 Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier. 

 Under the following conditions, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not
operate normally.
 


 Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat.



 If there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.



 When driving on continuously curving roads, and entering and exiting exits.



 Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers the laser
sensor (front) .
 


 Exhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water vapour rising from
manholes and grating, and water splashed into the air.
 


 When towing a malfunctioning vehicle.



 When driving with tyres having signifi cantly different wear. 

 In the following cases, the laser sensor (front) may inadvertently determine that there
is a vehicle ahead and the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may operate.
 


 Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve.



 Vehicles passing in the opposite lane while making a curve.



 Metal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road.



 When passing through a toll gate equipped with a bar.



 When passing under a vinyl curtain or fl ag.

i-ACTIVSENSE
CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to assure correct operation of each system.
 
 Do not adhere stickers (including transparent stickers) to the surface of the radiator
grille and front emblem in and around the radar sensor (front), and do not replace
the radiator grille and front emblem with any product that is not a genuine product
designed for use with the radar sensor (front).
  The radar sensor (front) includes a function for detecting soiling of the radar sensor's
front surface and informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may
require time to detect or it may not detect plastic shopping bags, ice or snow. If this
occurs, the system may not operate correctly, therefore always keep the radar sensor
(front) clean.
  Do not install a grille guard. 
 If the front part of the vehicle has been damaged in a vehicle accident, the position of
the radar sensor (front) may have moved. Stop the system immediately and always
have the vehicle inspected at an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
  Do not use the front bumper to push other vehicles or obstructions such as when
pulling out of a parking space. Otherwise, the radar sensor (front) could be hit and its
position deviated.
  Do not remove, disassemble, or modify the radar sensor (front). 
 For repairs, replacement or paint work around the radar sensor (front), consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
  Do not modify the suspension. If the suspension are modifi ed, the vehicle's posture
could change and the radar sensor (front) may not be able to correctly detect a vehicle
ahead or an obstruction.
