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)

When Driving
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.
The possible vehicle speed setting ranges are as follows:
• (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)
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
Use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system on expressways and other
highways which do not require a lot of repeated acceleration and deceleration.
Do not rely completely on the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
and always drive carefully:
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.
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to reduce load
on the driver, and although it maintains a constant vehicle speed, or
specifically, it maintains a constant distance between your vehicle and the
detected vehicle ahead according to the vehicle speed, the system has detection
limitations depending on the type of vehicle ahead and its conditions, the
weather conditions, and the 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. Always verify the safety of the
surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.

When Driving
Setting the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
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 OFF/CAN switch is pressed once.
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) Display Indication
The setting status and operation conditions of the Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) system are indicated in the multi-information display or the active
driving display.
A system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.
• The parking brake is applied.
• Any door is opened.
• The driver's seat belt is unfastened.
• The DSC, Smart Brake Support (SBS) system, or the Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) or Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)
has operated.
• A system malfunction is detected.
Other details are described in the related text.
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
• The brake pedal is depressed
