2017 MAZDA MODEL CX-5 turn signal

NOTE
The timing in which the system switches the headlights changes under the following
conditions. If the system does not switch the headlights appropriately, manually switch
between high and low beams according to the visibility as well as road and traffic
conditions.
•When there are sources of light in the area such as street lamps, illuminated signboards,
and traffic signals.
•When there are reflective objects in the surrounding area such as reflective plates and
signs.
•When visibility is reduced under rain, snow and foggy conditions.
•When driving on roads with sharp turn or hilly terrain.
•When the headlights/rear lamps of vehicles in front of you or in the opposite lane are dim
or not illuminated.
•When there is insufficient darkness such as at dawn or dusk.
•When the luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger seats
are occupied.
•When visibility is reduced due to a vehicle in front of you spraying water from its tyres
onto your windscreen.
▼ To Operate the System
The HBC operates to sw
itch the headlights
automatically between high and low
beams after the ignition is switched ON
and the headlight switch is in the AUTO
and high beam position.
The HBC determines t hat it is dark based
on the brightness of the surrounding area.
At the same time, th e HBC indicator light
(green) in the instrument cluster
illuminates.

The HBC determines t hat it is dark based
on the brightness of the surrounding area.
NOTE
•When the vehicle speed is about 30 km/h
(19 mph) or more, the headlights
automatically switch to high beams
when there are no vehicles ahead or
approaching in the opposite direction.
When the vehicle speed is less than
about 20 km/h (12 mph), the HBC
switches the headlights to low beams.
•The low beams may not switch to high
beams when cornering.
•Operation of the HBC function can be
disabled. Refer to Personalisation
Features on page 9-12.

Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)*
The 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 p resence of vehicles
approaching from the rear in an adjacent lane.
The BSM detects vehicles approaching from the rear while travel ling in the forward
direction at a speed of 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster and notifies the driver by turning on the
BSM warning indicator light and displaying the vehicle detectio n screen (vehicles with
multi-information display and active driving display).
If the direction indicator lever is operated to signal a turn in the direction in which the BSM
warning indicator light is illumi nated while the approaching vehicle is detected, the BSM
notifies the driver of possible danger by turning on the BSM wa rning indicator light, and by
activating the warning sound and the warning screen indicator display (vehicles with
multi-information display and active driving display).
The detection area on this system covers the driving lanes on b oth sides of the vehicle and
from the rear part of the front d oors to about 50 m (164 ft) behind the vehicle.
Detection areas
Your vehicle
WA R N I N G
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 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.

(BSM) Warning Beep
The BSM or Rear Cross Traffic Al ert (RCTA) system notifies the driver of the presence of
vehicles in adjacent lanes or at the rear of the vehicle using the BSM warning indicator
light, the warning sound and the display indicator (vehicles wi th multi-information display
and active driving display) (BSM) while the systems are operati onal.
BSM warning in dicator lights
The BSM warning indicator lights are equipped on the left and r ight door mirrors. The
warning indicator lights turn on when a vehicle approaching from the rear in an adjacent
lane is detected.
When the ignition is switched ON, the warning indicator light t urns on momentarily and
then turns off after a few seconds.
Forward driving (BSM operation)
The BSM detects vehicles approaching from the rear and turns on the BSM warning
indicator lights equipped on the door mirrors according to the conditions. Additionally,
while a BSM warning i ndicator light is illuminated, if the dire ction indicator lever is
operated to signal a turn in the direction in which the BSM war ning indicator light is
illuminated, the BSM warning indicator light flashes.
Reverse driving (Rear Cross Traf fic Alert (RCTA) system operation)
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system detects vehicles app roaching from the left and
right of your vehicle and flashes the BSM warning indicator lig hts.

Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast signals
become weak because of distance from the
transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas
is characterised by sound breakup.
Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a transmitter
tower. The bro adcast signals are extremely
strong, so the result is noise and sound
breakup at the radio receiver.
Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area of two
strong stations broadcasting at similar
frequencies, the original station may be
temporarily lost and the second station
picked up. At this time there will be some
noise from this disturbance.

Operating Tips for CD Player
Condensation phenomenon
Immediately after turning on the heater
when the vehicle is cold, the CD or optical
components (prism and lens) in the CD
player may become clouded with
condensation. At thi
s time, the CD will
eject immediately when placed in the unit.
A clouded CD can be corrected simply by
wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded optical
components will clear naturally in about
an hour. Wait for normal operation to
return before attempting to use the unit.
Handling the CD player
The following precau tions should be
observed.
•Do not use deformed or cracked CDs.
The disc may not eject resulting in a
malfunction.
•Do not use non-conventional discs such
as heart-shaped, octagonal discs, etc.
The disc may not eject resulting in a
malfunction.

CAUTION
Do not disassemble the Mazda ERA-GLONASS. Otherwise, it could become damaged and
may not function in an emergency.
 The Mazda ERA-GLONASS has a special built-in battery so that it can operate even if the
power supply from the vehicle is cut such as in an accident.
Heed the following cautions. If the Mazda ER A-GLONASS is not used correctly it may not
operate.
 The built-in battery is not a rechargeable ty pe battery. Do not attempt to recharge the
battery.
 If the built-in battery power is low due to natural discharge and the system determines
that there is a problem, the Mazda ER A-GLONASS cannot be used. If the system
determines that there is a problem, the indicator light (red) in the Mazda ERA-GLONASS
switch turns on to notify the driver. Have the vehicle inspected at an Authorised Mazda
Repairer. Refer to Indicator light/Beep sound on page 7-10.
NOTE
•The Mazda ERA-GLONASS can be used when the ignition is switched ON.
•There are two ways the Mazda ERA-GLONASS makes calls; automatically or manually.
•The Mazda ERA-GLONASS may not operate in the following cases: If the Mazda
ERA-GLONASS does not operate, make a call from another telephone such as the nearest
available public telephone.
•The vehicle is outside of a mobile phone network area
•The vehicle is in a weak radio wave transmission environment (such as inside tunnels,
underground parking areas, shadow of buildings, and mountain areas)
•The vehicle does not receive an impact of a certain level or more even if an accident has
occurred.
•An extremely serious collision occurs resulting in damage to the Mazda
ERA-GLONASS.
•The position information cannot be obtained when signals cannot be received from the
GPS and GLONASS satellites, however, voice calls are possible.
•When a voice call is made by the Mazda ERA-GLONASS, the audio system is muted so
that it does not interfere with the call.
•It may take some time for the call centre to respond after the Mazda ERA-GLONASS first
starts operating.
•If you are unable to respond to an operator's questions after the voice call begins, the
operator may proceed with emergency procedures at their own discretion.
•Even if it is difficult for you to hear the operator's voice, your voice may be heard by the
call centre. Continue explaining your circumstances.
