*Some models.
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) *
Your vehicle is equipped with a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). The Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) is positioned near the rearview mirror and used by the following systems.
High Beam Control System (HBC)
Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
Driver Attention Alert (DAA)
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of the vehicle while
travelling at night and detects traf ¿ c lanes. The distance in which the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) can detect objects varies depending on the surrounding conditions.
WARNING
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to correctly
detect vehicles ahead. This will result in the system not operating normally or
mistakenly operating, which could cause a serious accident.

CAUTION
Heed the following cautions to assure the correct operation of the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC).
Be careful not to scratch the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens or allow it to get
dirty.
Do not remove the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cover.
Do not place objects on the instrument panel which re À ect light.
Always keep the windscreen glass around the camera clean by removing dirt or
fogging. Use the windscreen defroster to remove fogging on the windscreen.
Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer regarding
cleaning the interior side of the windscreen around the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC).
Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer before
performing repairs around the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed to the windscreen. Consult an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer for windscreen repair and
replacement.
When cleaning the windscreen, do not allow glass cleaners or similar cleaning À uids
to get on the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens. In addition, do not touch the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens.
When performing repairs around the rearview mirror, consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer regarding
cleaning of the camera lens.
Do not hit or apply strong force to the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or the area
around it. If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is severely hit or if there are cracks
or damage caused by À ying gravel or debris in the area around it, stop using the
following systems and consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
High Beam Control System (HBC)
Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
Driver Attention Alert (DAA)
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The direction in which the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is pointed has been ¿ nely
adjusted. Do not change the installation position of the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) or remove it. Otherwise, it could result in damage or malfunction.
Always use tyres for all wheels that are of the speci ¿ ed size, and the same
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tyres with signi ¿ cantly
different wear patterns on the same vehicle as the system may not operate normally.

NOTE
If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cannot operate normally due to backlight or fog,
the system functions related to the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) are temporarily
stopped and the following warning lights turn on. However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.

*Some models.
Radar Sensor (Front) *
Your vehicle is equipped with a radar sensor (front).
The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The radar sensor (front) functions by detecting the radio waves re À ected off a vehicle ahead
or an obstruction sent from the radar sensor.
The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the front emblem.
Radar sensor (front)
If the Smart Brake Support/Smart City Brake Support (SBS/SCBS) Warning Light (amber)
is illuminated, the area around the radar sensor may be dirty. Refer to “Warning Guidance”
in the centre display (Type B audio).
Refer to If a Warning Light Turns On or Flashes on page 7-35 .

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect
vehicles ahead or obstructions correctly and each system may not operate normally.
The rear surface of a vehicle ahead does not re À ect radio waves effectively, such as
an unloaded trailer or an automobile with a loading platform covered by a soft top,
vehicles with a hard plastic tailgate, and round-shaped vehicles.
Vehicles ahead with low vehicle height and thus less area for re À ecting radio waves.
Visibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead casting off water, snow, or sand from its
tyres and onto your windscreen.
The boot/luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger
seats are occupied.
Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front surface of the front emblem.
During inclement weather such as rain, snow, or sand storms.
When driving near facilities or objects emitting strong radio waves.
Under the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect
vehicles ahead or obstructions.
The beginning and end of a curve.
Roads with continuous curves.
Narrow lane roads due to road construction or lane closures.
The vehicle ahead enters the radar sensor's blind spot.
The vehicle ahead is running abnormally due to accident or vehicle damage.
Roads with repeated up and down slopes
Driving on poor roads or unpaved roads.
The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely short.
A vehicle suddenly comes close such as by cutting into the lane.
To prevent incorrect operation of the system, use tyres of the same speci ¿ ed size,
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern on all four wheels. In addition, do not use
tyres with signi ¿ cantly different wear patterns or tyre pressures on the same vehicle
(Including the temporary spare tyre).
If the battery power is weak, the system may not operate correctly.
If the vehicle is driven on a road with little traf ¿ c and few vehicles ahead or
obstructions for the radar sensor (front) to detect, the sensor detects that the radar
sensor (front) is dirty and the Smart Brake Support/Smart City Brake Support (SBS/
SCBS) Warning Light (amber) may be temporarily turned on. However, it does not
indicate a malfunction.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
*Some models.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System *
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all four tyres. If
the air pressure of one or more tyres is too low, the system warns the driver by indicating the
tyre pressure monitoring system warning light in the instrument cluster and operating a beep
sound. The system monitors the tyre pressures indirectly using the data sent from the ABS
wheel speed sensors.
To allow the system to operate correctly, the system needs to be initialized with the speci ¿ ed
tyre pressure (value on the tyre pressure label). Follow the procedure and perform the
initialization.
Refer to Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on page 4-192 .
The warning light À ashes when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-38 .
