*Some models.
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) *
Your vehicle is equipped with a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). The Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) is positioned near the rearview mirror and used by the fo\
llowing systems.
High Beam Control System (HBC) Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) Traffi c Sign Recognition System (TSR) Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go\
function) Smart Brake Support (SBS)
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of th\
e vehicle while
traveling at night and detects traf fi c lanes. The distance in which the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) can detect objects varies depending on the surrounding co\
nditions.
WARNING
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 fi lm to the windshield 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 the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). Disassembly or modifi cation of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) will cause a malfunction or mistaken operation. Consequently, each system may not operate normally which could
lead to an unexpected accident.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
Heed the following cautions to assure the correct operation of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
Be careful not to scratch the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens or allow it to get dirty. Do not remove the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cover. Do not place objects on the dashboard which refl ect light. Always keep the windshield glass around the camera clean by removing dirt or fogging. Use the windshield defroster to remove fogging on the windshield.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer regarding cleaning the interior side of the windshield around the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer before performing repairs around the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed to the windshield. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for windshield repair and replacement.
When cleaning the windshield, do not allow glass cleaners or similar cleaning fl uids to get on the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens. In addition, do not touch the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens.
When performing repairs around the rearview mirror, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer regarding cleaning of the camera lens. Do not hit or apply strong force to the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or the area around it. If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is severely hit or if there are cracks or damage
caused by fl ying gravel or debris in the area around it, stop using the following systems
and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

adjusted. Do not change the installation position of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
or remove it. Otherwise, it could result in damage or malfunction.
Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specifi ed size, and the same manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with signifi cantly diff erent 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 windshield and informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect plastic
shopping bags, ice or snow on the windshield. 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.

When Driving
Cruise Control
NOTE
The cruise control speed setting cannot
be performed under the following
conditions:
(Automatic transaxle) The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
(Manual transaxle) The shift lever is in the neutral
position.
The parking brake is applied. Release the SET/ or RESUME/
switch at the desired speed, otherwise
the speed will continue increasing while
the RESUME/
switch is pressed and
held, and continue decreasing while the
SET/
switch is pressed and held
(except when the accelerator pedal is
depressed).
On a steep grade, the vehicle may
momentarily slow down while ascending
or speed up while descending.
The cruise control will cancel if the
vehicle speed decreases below 21 km/h
(13 mph) when the cruise control is
activated, such as when climbing a
steep grade.
The cruise control may cancel at about
15 km/h (9 mph) below the preset speed,
such as when climbing a long, steep
grade.
The vehicle speed preset using the cruise
control is displayed in the instrument
cluster and the active driving display
(vehicles with active driving display).

To Increase Cruising Speed
Follow either of these procedures.
To increase speed using cruise control
switch
Press the RESUME/
switch and hold it.
Your vehicle will accelerate. Release the
switch at the desired speed.
Press the RESUME/
switch and release
it immediately to adjust the preset speed.
Multiple operations will increase the
preset speed according to the number of
times it is operated.

When Driving
Cruise Control
To increase speed using accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate
to the desired speed. Press the SET/
switch and release it immediately.
NOTE
Accelerate if you want to speed up
temporarily when the cruise control is on.
Greater speed will not interfere with or
change the set speed. Take your foot off the
accelerator to return to the set speed.
To Decrease Cruising Speed
Press the SET/ switch and hold it. The
vehicle will gradually slow.
Release the switch at the desired speed.
Press the SET/
switch and release it
immediately to adjust the preset speed.
Multiple operations will decrease the
preset speed according to the number of
times it is operated.
Decreasing speed with a single SET/
switch operation
Instrument cluster display for vehicle
speed indicated in km/h: 1 km/h (0.6 mph)
Instrument cluster display for vehicle
speed indicated in mph: 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
To Resume Cruising Speed at More Than 25 km/h (16 mph)
If the cruise control system temporarily
canceled (such as by applying the brake
pedal) and the system is still activated, the
most recent set speed will automatically
resume when the RESUME/
switch is
pressed.
If vehicle speed is below 25 km/h
(16 mph), increase the vehicle speed up to
25 km/h (16 mph) or more and press the
RESUME/
switch.
To Temporarily Cancel
To temporarily cancel the system, use one
of these methods:
Slightly depress the brake pedal. (Manual transaxle) Depress the clutch pedal. Press the OFF/CANCEL switch.
If the RESUME/ switch is pressed when
the vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) or
higher, the system reverts to the previously
set speed.
NOTE
If any of the following conditions occur,
the cruise control system is temporarily
canceled.
The parking brake is applied. (Automatic transaxle) The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
(Manual transaxle) The shift lever is in the neutral
position.
When the cruise control system is
temporarily canceled by even one of the
applicable cancel conditions, the speed
cannot be re-set.
(Automatic transaxle) The cruise control cannot be cancelled
while driving in manual mode (selector
lever shifted from D to M position).
Therefore, engine braking will not be
applied even if the transaxle is shifted
down to a lower gear. If deceleration is
required, lower the set speed or depress
the brake pedal.
