CAUTION
ØDo not apply accessories, stickers or film to the windshield near the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
If the area in front of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens is obstructed, it will
cause the system to not operate correctly. Consequently, each system may not
operate normally which could lead to an unexpected accident.
ØDo not disassemble or modify the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
Disassembly or modification of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) will cause a
malfunction or mistaken operation. Consequently, each system may not operate
normally which could lead to an unexpected accident.
ØHeed the following cautions to assure the correct operation of the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
ØThe direction of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) has been finely adjusted,
therefore do not change the installation position or remove the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
ØBe careful not to scratch the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens or allow it to
get dirty.
ØDo not remove the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cover.
ØDo not place objects on the dashboard which reflect light.
ØAlways keep the windshield glass around the camera clean by removing dirt or

ØConsult an Authorized Mazda Dealer before performing repairs around the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
ØThe Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed to the windshield. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer for windshield repair and replacement.
ØWhen performing repairs around the rearview mirror, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
ØDo not hit or apply strong force to the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or the
area around it. If strong force is applied, stop using the Lane Departure
Warning System (LDWS), the High Beam Control System (HBC), and Smart
Brake Support (SBS) and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

illuminates.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page
4-22.
To deactivate the system, press the OFF
switch.
The cruise main indicator light (Amber)
turns off.
WARNING
Always turn off the cruise control
system when it is not in use:
Leaving the cruise control system in
an activation-ready state while the
cruise control is not in use is
dangerous as the cruise control could
unexpectedly activate if the
activation button is accidentally
pressed, and result in loss of vehicle
control and an accident.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched OFF, the system
status before it was turned off is maintained.
For example, if the ignition is switched OFF
with the cruise control system operable, the
system will be operable when the ignition is
switched ON the next time.
qTo Set Speed
1. Activate the cruise control system by
pressing the ON switch.
The cruise main indicator light
(Amber) illuminates. Refer to Warning/
Indicator Lights on page 4-22.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which
must be more than 25 km/h (16 mph).3. Set the cruise control by pressing the
SET
or SET - switch at the desired
speed. The cruise control is set at the
moment the SET
or SET - switch is
pressed. Release the accelerator pedal
simultaneously. The cruise set indicator
light (Green) illuminates.
NOTE
lThe cruise control speed setting cannot be
performed under the following conditions:
l(Automatic transaxle)
The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
l(Manual transaxle)
The shift lever is in the neutral position.
lThe parking brake is applied.lRelease the SETor SET - switch at the
desired speed, otherwise the speed will
continue increasing while the SET
switch is pressed and held, and continue
decreasing while the SET - switch is pressed
and held (except when the accelerator
pedal is depressed).
lOn a steep grade, the vehicle may
momentarily slow down while ascending,
or speed up while descending.
lCruise control will cancel if the vehicle
speed decreases below 21 km/h (13 mph)
when cruise is activated, such as when
climbing a steep grade.
lCruise control may cancel at about 15 km/h
(9 mph) below the preset speed (such as
may happen when climbing a long, steep
grade).

lPress the CANCEL switch.
If the RESUME switch is pressed when
the vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) or
higher, the system reverts to the
previously set speed.
NOTE
lIf any of the following conditions occur, the
cruise control system is temporarily
canceled.
lThe parking brake is applied.l(Automatic transaxle)
The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
l(Manual transaxle)
The shift lever is in the neutral position.
lWhen the cruise control system is
temporarily canceled by even one of the
applicable cancel conditions, the speed
cannot be re-set.

NOTE
Because this system detects slight changes in tire conditions, the timing of the warning may be faster
or slower in the following cases:
lThe size, manufacturer, or the type of tires is different from the specification.lThe size, manufacturer, or the type of a tire is different from the others, or the level of tire wear is
excessively different between them.
lA run-flat tire, studless tire, snow tire, or tire chains are used.lAn emergency tire is used (The tire pressure monitoring system warning light may flash and then
continue illuminating).
lA tire is repaired using the emergency flat tire repair kit.lThe tire pressure is excessively higher than the specified pressure, or the tire pressure is suddenly
lowered for some reason such as a tire burst during driving.
lThe vehicle speed is lower than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph) (including when the vehicle is stopped),
or the drive period is shorter than 5 minutes.
lThe vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road.lHard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as during aggressive driving
on a winding road.
lLoad on the vehicle is applied to a tire such as by loading heavy luggage to one side of the
vehicle.
lSystem initialization has not been implemented with the specified tire pressure.
qTire Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization
In the following cases, system
initialization must be performed so that
the system operates normally.
lA tire pressure is adjusted.lTire rotation is performed.lA tire or wheel is replaced.lThe battery is replaced or completely
drained.
lThe tire pressure monitoring system
warning light is illuminated.
Initialization method
1. Park the car in a safe place and firmly
apply the parking brake.2. Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire
pressure of all four (4) tires to the
specified pressure indicated on the tire
pressure label located on the door jamb
of the driver's door (door open). Refer
to Tires on page 9-7.
3. Switch the ignition ON.
