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 (ALH)
• Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
• Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
• Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
• Driver attention alert (DAA)
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
Driver fatigue detection
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
Rear obstruction detection when leaving a parking space
• Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
• Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
Inter-vehicle distance
Lane departure
• Adjustable Speed Limiter
Speed control
Collision damage reduction in low vehicle speed range
• 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.
Forward driving
• Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R)
• Smart Brake Support (SBS)
Reverse driving
Collision damage reduction in medium/high speed range
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
• Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
Road sign recognition
• Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)


15
When Driving
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
The adaptive LED headlights 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 a 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 of about 40 km/h (24 mph) or slower.
Wide-range low beam
This feature shifts the illumination angle of the light cast by the headlights upward
while driving on highways.
