2017 MAZDA MODEL CX-5 warning

Resume driving information
If you do not resume driving within a few seconds after the vehicle ahead starts moving, the
multi-information display vehicl e-ahead indication flashes to urge the driver to resume
driving.
▼ Cruise Control Function
While this function is operating, the
headway control operation is cancelled
and only the cruise control function
operates.
The vehicle speed can be set more than
about 25 km/h (16 mph).
Use the cruise c
ontrol function on
expressways and other highways which do
not require a lot of repeated acceleration
and deceleration.
WA R N I N G
Do not use the cruise control function in
the following locations:
Otherwise, it could lead to an accident.
 Roads with sharp curves and where
vehicle
traffic is heavy and there is
insufficient space between vehicles.
(Driving under these conditions using the
cruise control function is not possible)
 Steep down slopes (Set speed may be
exceeded because sufficient engine
braking cannot be applied)
 Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound
roads (Tyres could spin causing you to
lose vehicle control)
Always drive carefully:
The warnings and brake control will not
operate after the headway control function
is cancelled and the system is switched to
only the cruise control function. Depress
the brake pedal to decelerate according to
the surrounding conditions while keeping a
safer distance from the vehicle ahead and
always driving carefully.
Switching to cruise control function
When the MODE switc h is pressed until
the system switches to the cruise main
indication (white) wh ile the MRCC with
Stop & Go function system is turned on,
the system switches to the cruise control
function.
When the system switches to the cruise
control function, the indicator and
multi-information disp lay notify the driver
as follows:
•The MRCC with Stop & Go function set
indication (green) or the MRCC with
Stop & Go function main indication
(white) is turned off, and the cruise main
indication (white) is turned on.
•A message is displayed in the

Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane DepartureWarning System (LDWS)
*
The LAS&LDWS alerts the driver th at the vehicle may be deviating from its lane and it
provides steering assistance to help the driver stay within the vehicle lanes.
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects the white lines (yello w lines) of the vehicle
lane in which the vehicle is tra velling and if the system determines that the vehicle may
deviate from its lane, it operates the electric power steering to assist the driver's steering
operation. The system also alerts the driver by activating a la ne departure warning sound,
vibrating the steering wheel, and indicating an alert in the di splay. Use the system when you
drive the vehicle on ro ads with white (yellow) lines such as ex pressways and highways.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) on page 4-196.

The steering wheel operation of the LAS&LDWS has “Late” and “Ea rly” steering assist
timing settings.
For the “Late” setting, the system assists the driver's steerin g operation if there is the
possibility of the vehicle deviating from its lane.
For the “Early” setting, the sys tem assists the driver's steering operation constantly so that
the vehicle stays near the centre of the vehicle lane.
“Late” and “Early” timing can b e changed (timing at which steer ing operation assist is
provided) by changing the setting.
Refer to Personalisation Features on page 9-12.

indicator light is turned on, press the
switch and make sure that the indicator
light turns off.
The LAS&LDWS indic ation (white) is
displayed in the multi-information display,
and the system goes on stand-by.
(White)
Drive the vehicle in the centre of the
vehicle lane while the system is on

wide.

NOTE
The LAS&LDWS indication is white when
the system detects only a white (yellow)
line on either the left or right, and the
indication changes to green when the
system detects white (yellow) lines on both
the left and right sides.
Detection only on either left or right Detects on both
left and right sides

The LAS&LDWS goes on stand-by status
in the following cases:
•The system cannot detect white (yellow)
lane lines.
•The vehicle speed is less than about 60
km/h (37 mph).
•The ABS/TCS is operating.
•The TCS is turned off.

•The width of a lane is excessively
narrow or wide.
NOTE
•(When the timing of the steering assist
is set to “Late”)
•The LAS&LDWS does not operate
until the system detects white (yellow)
lane lines on either the left or right.
•When the system detects a white
(yellow) lane line on one side only, the
system will not operate the steering
wheel operation assist and the
warning for the lane line on the side
that is not being detected. The
steering wheel operation assist and
the warning is only for a lane
deviation on the side that is being
detected.
•(When the timing of the steering assist
is set to “Early”)
•When the steering assist timing is set
to “Early”, the LAS&LDWS does not
operate until the system detects white
(yellow) lane lines on the left and
right. When the system only detects
white (yellow) lane lines on either the
left or right, the system only operates
for a lane deviation on the side being
detected.
•The steering wheel operation assist is
performed so that the vehicle remains
near the centre of the driving lane,
however, depending on conditions
such as the road curvature, road slope
and undulations, and vehicle speed,
the system may not be able to keep the
vehicle near the centre of the driving
lane.
•If the driver takes his or her hands off
the steering wheel (not holding the
steering wheel), the warning sound is
activated and an alert is indicated in the
multi-information display or the active
driving display.
