Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) *
The LDWS system notifi es the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane.
The system detects the white or yellow lines on the traffi c lane using the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) and if it determines that the vehicle may be deviating fr\
om its lane, it notifi es
the driver using the active driving display (vehicles with active drivi\
ng display), and by
fl ashing the LDWS warning light and activating the LDWS warning beep.
Use the LDWS when you drive the vehicle on roads with white or yellow li\
nes.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera on page 4-112 .

NOTE
y The LDWS does not operate until the
system detects a white or yellow line on
either the left or right.
y When the system detects a white or
yellow line on one side only, the system
will activate the warning only when the
vehicle deviates on the side where the
white or yellow line is being detected.
y The distance and warning sensitivity
(likelihood of a warning) which the
system uses to determine the possibility
of a lane departure can be changed.
Refer to Personalization Features on
page 9-10 .
Auto cancel
In the following cases, the LDWS cancels
automatically and the LDWS warning
light in the instrument cluster turns on.
y The temperature inside the camera is
high or low.
y The windshield around the camera is
foggy.
y The windshield around the camera is
blocked by an obstruction, causing poor
forward visibility.
For vehicles equipped with the active
driving display, the lane (border lines) is
indicated in the display. The LDWS is
enabled automatically when the operation
conditions are met, and the LDWS
warning light turns off.
Auto cancel warning
When the following operations are
performed, the LDWS determines that
the driver intends to make a lane change
and the LDWS warning is canceled
automatically. The LDWS is enabled
automatically after the driver performs the
operation.
y The steering wheel is operated abruptly.
y The brake pedal is depressed abruptly.
y The accelerator pedal is depressed
abruptly.
y The turn signal lever is operated (after
the turn signal lever is returned, the
LDWS may not operate for about 3
seconds which is the period of time
required to make a lane correction).
NOTE
After about 60 seconds have elapsed with
the turn signal lever left operating, the
LDWS warning may operate if the vehicle
is close to a white or yellow line.
Canceling the System
Press the LDWS switch to cancel the
LDWS. The LDWS OFF indicator light
turns on.
For vehicles with the active driving
display, the driving lane indication in the
active driving display is not indicated
when the LDWS is cancelled.

LDWS Warning
If the system determines that there is the
possibility of a lane departure, the LDWS
warning beep activates and the LDWS
warning light fl ashes. Operate the steering
wheel appropriately and steer the vehicle
to the center of the lane.
For vehicles equipped with the active
driving display, if there is the possibility of
a lane departure, the system indicates the
direction it determines that the vehicle is
deviating in the active driving display.

NOTE
y If the LDWS warning sound is set to
rumble*1 , the sound will be heard from
the vehicle speaker on the side which
the system determined the vehicle may
be deviating from its lane.
y It may be diffi cult to hear the LDWS
warning beep depending on the
surrounding conditions such as outside
noise.
y The volume of the LDWS warning sound
can be changed.
Refer to Personalization Features on page 9-10 .
y The type of warning sound (rumble *1 /
beep) on the LDWS can be changed.
Refer to Personalization Features on page 9-10 .
*1 A rumble strip is a series of grooves in the road pavement surface
positioned at specifi c intervals,
and when the vehicle passes over
it a vibration and rumble sound is
produced which alerts the driver
that the vehicle is departing from the
lane.
The rumble sound is a reproduction of the sound which occurs when a vehicle
passes over a rumble strip.

Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) *
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) measures the distance between your
vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar sensor (front) while the vehicle speed is 30 km/h
or faster (19 mph or faster), and indicates a recommended distance to maintain between the
vehicles. Furthermore, if your vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely than the
appropriate distance to maintain between the vehicles, the vehicle-ahead indication in the
active driving display is fl ashed to advise the driver to keep a safer distance from the vehicle
ahead.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) and always
drive carefully:
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) provides advice for safer driving and
notifi es the driver of a recommended, safer distance to maintain with a vehicle ahead.
The ability to detect a vehicle ahead is limited depending on the type of vehicle ahead,
the weather conditions, and the traffi c conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator and brake
pedals are not operated correctly it could lead to 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.
NOTE
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) operates when all of the following
conditions are met:
y The ignition is switched ON.
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) is on.
y The selector lever is in a position other than reverse (R).
y The vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19 mph or faster).
y The objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles.
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) may also operate in the presence of
motorcycles and bicycles.
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) may not operate normally under the
following conditions:
y The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) has a malfunction.
y The vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed.
y The system does not operate with the following objects:
y Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.
y Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)

Indication on Display
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) operation status is displayed in the
active driving display.
Problems are indicated in the center display (Type B audio). If there is a problem, take
appropriate action according to the displayed message.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-24 .
NOTE
y When the ignition is switched off, the operation status before the system was turned off
is maintained. For example, if the ignition is switched off with the Distance Recognition
Support System (DRSS) operable, the system will be operable when the ignition is
switched ON the next time.
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) can be turned on/off and the system's
sensitivity can be changed.

Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) *
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to maintain headway control *1
according to the vehicle speed using a radar sensor (front) to detect the distance to a vehicle
ahead, and by presetting the vehicle speed between 30 km/h (19 mph) and 145 km/h (90
mph), the driver is freed from having to constantly use the accelerator or brake pedals.
*1 Headway Control: Control of the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
detected by the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system.
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 suffi cient distance between the vehicles.
Use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system on expressways and other highways
which do not require a lot of repeated acceleration and deceleration.
