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.

Parking Sensor System
*Some models.
Parking Sensor System *
The parking sensors use ultrasonic sensors which detect obstructions around the vehicle
when the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or parallel parking, and a
buzzer sound and detection indicator notify the driver of the approximate distance from the
vehicle to the surrounding obstruction.

WARNING
Do not rely completely on the parking sensor system and be sure to con¿ rm the safety
around your vehicle visually when driving:
This system can assist the driver in operating the vehicle in the backward directions
while parking. The detection ranges of the sensors are limited, therefore, driving the
vehicle while relying only on the system may cause an accident. Always con¿ rm the
safety around your vehicle visually when driving.

NOTE
  Do not install any accessories within the detection ranges of the sensors. It may affect
the system operation.
  Depending on the type of obstruction and the surrounding conditions, the detection
range of a sensor may narrow, or the sensors may not be able to detect obstructions.
  The system may not operate normally under the following conditions: 



 Mud, ice, or snow is adhering to the sensor area (Returns to normal operation when
removed).
 


 The sensor area is frozen (Returns to normal operation when the ice is thawed).



 The sensor is covered by a hand.



 The sensor is excessively shocked.



 The vehicle is excessively tilted.



 Under extremely hot or cold weather conditions.



 The vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, or grass covered roads.



 Anything which generates ultrasound is near the vehicle, such as another vehicle's
horn, the engine sound of a motorcycle, the air brake sound of a large-sized vehicle,
or another vehicle's sensors.
 


 The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or in road conditions causing water-splash.



 A commercially-available wing pole or an aerial for a radio transmitter is installed to
the vehicle.
 


 The vehicle is moving towards a tall or square curbstone.



 An obstruction is too close to the sensor. 

 Obstructions under the bumper may not be detected. Obstructions that are lower than
the bumper or thin which may have been initially detected but are no longer detected
as the vehicle approaches more closely.
  The following types of obstructions may not be detected: 



 Thin objects such as wire or rope



 Things which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snow



 Angular shaped objects



 Very tall objects, and those which are wide at the top



 Small, short objects 

 Always have the system inspected at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer if any shock is applied to the bumpers, even in a minor accident. If the
sensors are deviated, they cannot detect obstructions.
  The beeper which indicates a system malfunction may not be heard if the ambient
temperature is extremely cold, or mud, ice, or snow adheres to the sensor area.
Remove any foreign material from the sensor area.
  When installing a trailer hitch, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
