Camera (FSC) is positioned near t he rearview mirror and used by the following systems.
•High Beam Control System (HBC)
•Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
•Driver Attention Alert (DAA)
•Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System ( LDWS)
•Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)

Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahea d of the vehicle while
travelling at night and detects traffic lanes. The distance in which the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) can detect objects v aries depending on the surrounding conditions.
WA R N I N G
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
 Do not apply accessories, stickers or film to the windscreen near the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC).

If the area in front of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens is obstructed, it will cause the
system to not operate correctly. Consequently, each system may not operate normally
which could lead to an unexpected accident.
 Do not disassemble or modify th e Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
Disassembly or modification of the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) will cause a malfunction
or mistaken operation. Consequently, each sy stem may not operate normally which could
lead to an unexpected accident.

Smart Brake Support (SBS)
 The direction in which the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is pointed has been finely
adjusted. Do not change the installation posi tion 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
specified size, and the same manufacturer,
brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do no t use tyres with significantly different wear
patterns on the same vehicle as the system may not operate normally.
 The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) includes a function for detecting a soiled windscreen
and informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect plastic
shopping bags, ice or snow on the windscreen . In such cases, the system cannot accurately
determine a vehicle ahead and may not be able to operate normally. Always drive carefully
and pay attention to the road ahead.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System*
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the pressure for each tyre.
If tyre pressure is too low in one or more tyres, the system wi ll inform the driver via the
warning light in the instrument cluster and by the warning beep sound.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning Lights on page 4-42.
Refer to Tyre Inflation Pressu re Warning Beep on page 7-66.

The tyre pressure sensors installed on each wheel send tyre pressure data by radio signal to
the receiver unit in the vehicle.
Tyre pressure sensors
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is low due to seasonal changes, tyre temperatures are also
lower. When the tyre temperature decreases, the air pressure decreases as well. The TPMS
warning light may illumina te more frequently. Visually inspect the tyres daily before driving,
and check tyre pressures monthly with a tyre pressure gauge. When checking tyre pressures,
use of a digital tyre pressure gauge is recommended.

TPMS does not alleviate your need to check the pressure and con dition of all four tyres
regularly.
CAUTION
 Each tyre, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tyre inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a different size than the
size indicated on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation pressure label, you should determine
the proper tyre inflation pressure for those tyres.)

Diesel Particulate Filter(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
The diesel particulate filter collects and
removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
PM collected by the diesel particulate
filter is cleared during normal driving,
however, PM may not be removed and the
diesel particulate filter indicator light may
illuminate under the following conditions:
•If the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h (9
mph) or less continuously.
•If the vehicle is repeatedly driven for a
short period of time (10 minute or less)
or driven while the engine is cold.
•If the vehicle is idled for a long time.
With Multi-inform ation display
When “Soot Accumulation in DPF too
high” is indicated
The particulate matter (PM) cannot be
removed automatically and the amount of
collected PM reaches a specified amount.
After the engine has sufficiently warmed
up (engine coolant temperature of 80 °C
(176 °F) or more), depress the accelerator
pedal and drive the vehicle at a speed of
20 km/h (12 mph) or more for about 15 to
20 minutes to eliminate the PM.
When “DPF malfunction” is indicated
Contact an expert repairer, we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
