*Some models.
Emergency Stop Signal
System
Your Mazda is equipped with an
emergency stop signal system that is
designed to determine whether you are
depressing the brake pedal with greater
force than during normal braking such
as in a situation requiring emergency
braking. If the system determines that such
a situation is occurring, it À ashes all the
direction indicators rapidly to caution the
driver of the vehicle following behind your
vehicle of the sudden braking situation.
The system turns off when it determines
that the brake pedal is released or that an
emergency braking situation no longer
exists based on the reduced vehicle speed.
NOTE
  If you bring your vehicle to a
complete stop while all the direction
indicators are À ashing rapidly, the
rapid À ashing of all the direction
indicators changes back to the
normal À ashing pattern.

 The emergency stop signal system
does not operate at vehicle speeds
under about 60 km/h (37 mph).
  If the brake pedal is depressed
while driving on slippery roads, the
emergency stop signal system could
operate causing all the turn and lane
change signals to À ash.
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) *
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is a function
which assists the driver in accelerating
from a stop while on a slope. When
the driver releases the brake pedal and
depresses the accelerator pedal while
on a slope, the function prevents the
vehicle from rolling. The braking force is
maintained automatically after the brake
pedal is released on a steep grade.
For vehicles with a manual transaxle,
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) operates on a
downward slope when the shift lever is in
the reverse (R) position, and on an upward
slope when the shift lever is in a position
other than the reverse (R) position.
For vehicles with an automatic transaxle,
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) operates on a
downward slope when the selector lever
is in the reverse (R) position, and on an
upward slope when the selector lever is in
a forward gear.

i-ACTIVSENSE
*Some models.
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.
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.

Camera and Sensors
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects lane indications and recognises headlights, tail
lights and city lights during nighttime driving. In addition, it also detects the vehicle ahead,
pedestrians, or obstructions. The following systems also use the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC).
 


 High Beam Control System (HBC)



 Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)

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 indicator light in the instrument cluster 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.
