Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) *
The LDWS system noti ¿ es the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane.
The system detects the white or yellow lines on the traf ¿ c lane using the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) and if it determines that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane, it noti ¿ es
the driver using the active driving display (vehicles with active driving display), and by
À 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 lines.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera on page 4-170 .
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The warning light illuminates when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-38 .
WARNING
Do not use the LDWS under the following conditions:
The system may not operate adequately according to the actual driving conditions,
resulting in an accident.
Driving on roads with tight curves.
Driving under bad weather conditions (rain, fog, and snow).
The functions of the LDWS have limitations:
Always stay on course using the steering wheel and drive with care. The system is not
designed to compensate for a driver’s lack of caution and if you rely too much on the
LDWS it could lead to an accident. The driver is responsible for assuring lane changes
and other manoeuvres. Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is
travelling and the vehicle’s surroundings.

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 cancelled
automatically. The LDWS is enabled
automatically after the driver performs the
operation.
The steering wheel is operated abruptly.
The brake pedal is depressed abruptly.
The accelerator pedal is depressed
abruptly.
The direction indicator lever is operated
(after the direction indicator 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 direction indicator lever left
operating, the LDWS warning may
operate if the vehicle is close to a white
or yellow line.
Cancelling The System
Press the LDWS OFF switch to cancel the
LDWS. The LDWS OFF indicator light
turns on.
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 À ashes. Operate the steering
wheel appropriately and steer the vehicle
to the centre 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.

Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System *
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) is designed to assist the driver in checking the area to the
rear of the vehicle on both sides during lane changes by notifying the driver of the presence
of vehicles approaching from the rear in an adjacent lane.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) detects vehicles approaching from the rear while
travelling in the forward direction at a speed of 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster and noti ¿ es
the driver by turning on the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light and
displaying the vehicle detection screen (vehicles with active driving display).
If the direction indicator lever is operated to signal a turn in the direction in which the
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light is illuminated while the approaching
vehicle is detected, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) noti ¿ es the driver of possible danger
by turning on the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light, and by activating
the warning sound and the warning screen indicator display (vehicles with active driving
display).
The detection area on this system covers the driving lanes on both sides of the vehicle and
from the rear part of the front doors to about 50 m (164 ft) behind the vehicle.

WARNING
Always check the surrounding area visually before making an actual lane change:
The system is only designed to assist you in checking for vehicles at your rear when
making a lane change. Due to certain limitations with the operation of this system,
the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light, the warning sound and the
warning screen indicator display may not activate or they might be delayed even though
a vehicle is in an adjacent driving lane. Always make it your responsibility as a driver to
check the rear.
NOTE
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) will operate when all of the following conditions
are met:
The ignition is switched ON.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch is pressed and the BSM OFF switch
indicator light is turned off.
The vehicle speed is about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) will not operate under the following circumstances.
The vehicle speed falls below about 25 km/h (15 mph) even though the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch indicator light is turned off.
The shift lever (manual transaxle)/selector lever (automatic transaxle) is shifted to
reverse (R) and the vehicle is reversing.
In the following cases, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light turns
on and operation of the system is stopped. If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF
indicator light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorised Mazda
Repairer as soon as possible.
Some problem with the system including the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
indicator lights is detected.
A large deviation in the installation position of a radar sensor (rear) on the vehicle
has occurred.
There is a large accumulation of snow or ice on the rear bumper near a radar sensor
(rear). Remove any snow, ice or mud on the rear bumper.
Driving on snow-covered roads for long periods.
The temperature near the radar sensors (rear) becomes extremely hot due to driving
for long periods on slopes during the summer.
The battery voltage has decreased.
