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 LED Headlights (ALH)
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
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.
Nighttime visibility
Left/right side and rear side detection
Inter-vehicle distance recognition
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
Rear obstruction detection when leaving a parking space
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
Driver support systems
Collision damage reduction in low vehicle speed range
Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)
Pre-Crash Safety Technology
Pre-crash safety technology is designed to assist the dri
ver in averting collisions or
reduce their severity in situations where they cannot be avoided.

Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
The Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) are controlled between high and low beams
as follows to assure the driver’s visibility without dazzling a vehicle ahead or a
vehicle approaching in the opposite direction.
This feature dims only the high-beam light shone on the vehicle ahead.
Glare-free high beam
The high beams will dim while driving at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or
faster. When the vehicle speed is less than about 30 km/h (18 mph), the beams
switch to the low beams.
NOTE
The headlight high-beam indicator light turns on while the high beams are on.
This feature extends the illumination range of the light cast by the low beams while
driving at a speed less than about 40 km/h (25 mph).
Wide-range low beam
This feature shifts the illumination angle of the light cast by the headlights upward
while driving on highways.

Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) may not
operate normally. Manually switch between the high and low beams according to
the visibility, and the road and traffic conditions.
• When there are other sources of light in the area such as street lamps,
illuminated signboards, and traffic signals.
• When there are reflective objects in the surrounding area such as reflective
plates and signs.
• When visibility is reduced under rain, snow and foggy conditions.
• When driving on roads with sharp curves or undulations.
The system switches the headlights to the high beams after the ignition is switched
ON and the headlight switch is in the position.
The Adaptive LED Headlights
(ALH) indicator light (green) in the instrument cluster turns on simultaneously.
To Operate the System
CAUTION
• Do not modify the suspensions or headlight units, or remove the camera.
Otherwise, the Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) may not operate normally.
• Do not rely excessively on the Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) and drive
the vehicle while paying sufficient attention to safety. Switch the headlights
between the high beams and low beams manually if necessary.
• When the headlights/rear lamps of vehicles ahead or in the opposite lane are
dim or not illuminated.
• When there is insufficient darkness such as at dawn or dusk.
• When the luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear
passenger seats are occupied.
• When visibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead spraying water from its
tyres onto your windscreen.
