Switches and Controls
*Some models.
Auto-light control *
When the headlight switch is in the
position and the ignition is switched ON, the light
sensor senses the surrounding lightness or darkness and automatically tu\
rns the headlights
and other exterior lights on or off.
CAUTION
 Do not shade the light sensor by adhering a sticker or a label on the windshield. Otherwise the light sensor will not operate correctly.

 The light sensor also works as a rain sensor for the auto-wiper control. Keep hands and scrapers clear of the windshield when the wiper lever is in the
position and the
ignition is switched ON as fi ngers could be pinched or the wipers and wiper blades could be
damaged when the wipers activate automatically. If you are going to clean the windshield,
be sure the wipers are turned off completely when it is particularly tempting to leave the
engine running. This is particularly important when clearing ice and snow.

NOTE
   The headlights and other exterior lights may not turn off immediately ev\
en if the
surrounding area becomes well-lit because the light sensor determines that it is night\

time if the surrounding area is continuously dark for several minutes such as inside long
tunnels, traf fi c jams inside tunnels, or in indoor parking lots.
 In this case, the lights turn off if the light switch is turned to the \
position.   If the headlight switch and the windshield wiper switch are in , and the wipers are
operated at low or high speed by the auto wiper control for several seconds, bad weather
conditions are determined and the headlights may be turned on.
   The sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed. Refer to Personalization Features on page 9-11 .

i-ACTIVSENSE
*Some models.
i-ACTIVSENSE *
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety a\
nd driver support
systems which make use of a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and radar sen\
sors. These
systems consist of active safety and pre-crash safety systems.
These systems are designed to assist the driver in safer driving by redu\
cing 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 th\
e systems.
Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer driving by helping the driver to recognize potential
hazards and avert accidents.

*Some models.
High Beam Control System (HBC) *
The High Beam Control System (HBC) determines the conditions in front of the vehicle
using the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) while driving in darkness to au\
tomatically switch
the headlights between high and low beams.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-32 .
While driving the vehicle at a speed of about 30 km/h (19 mph) or more\
, the headlights are
switched to high beams when there are no vehicles ahead or approaching i\
n the opposite
direction.
The system switches the headlights to low beams when one of the followin\
g occurs:
  The system detects a vehicle or the headlights/lights of a vehicle appro\
aching in the
opposite direction.
   The vehicle is driven on roads lined with streetlamps or on roads in wel\
l-lit cities and
towns.
   The vehicle is driven at less than about 20 km/h (12 mph).

Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC)
The recognition distance of the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
varies according to the
surrounding conditions.

The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning Lights on page 4-33 .
CAUTION
 Do not adjust the vehicle height, modify the headlight units, or remove the camera, otherwise the system will not operate normally.
 Do not rely excessively on the High Beam Control System (HBC) and drive the vehicle while paying suffi cient attention to safety. Switch the headlights between the high beams and
low beams manually if necessary.

i-ACTIVSENSE
*Some models.
Traffi c Sign Recognition System (TSR) *
The Traf fi c Sign Recognition System (TSR) helps prevent the driver from overlook\
ing
traffi c signs, and provides support for safer driving by displaying traf fi c signs on the active
driving display which are recognized by the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC\
) or recorded in
the navigation system while the vehicle is driven.
The Traffi c Sign Recognition System (TSR) displays the speed limit, do not enter, and traf fi c
stop signs.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the activ\
e driving display while
the vehicle is driven, the system noti fi es the driver using the indication in the active driving
display and a warning sound.
NOTE
   The Traffi c Sign Recognition System (TSR) is not supported in some countries or\
regions.
For information concerning the supported countries or regions, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
   The Traffi c Sign Recognition System (TSR) operates only if the navigation syste\
m SD card

*Some models.
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) *
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) measures the distance between your
vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar sensor (front) while the veh\
icle speed is about
30 km/h (19 mph) or faster, and if your vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely
than what is appropriate for maintaining distance between the vehicles a\
ccording to the
vehicle speed, a notifi cation in the active driving display is indicated to advise you to keep \
a
safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) and always
drive carefully: The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) provides advice for safer driving and
notifi es the driver of a recommended, safer distance to maintain with a vehicle ahead.
The ability to detect a vehicle ahead is limited depending on the type of vehicle ahead,
the weather conditions, and the traffi c conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator and brake
pedals are not operated correctly it could lead to an accident. Always verify the safety of
the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a
safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.

NOTE
  The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) operates when all of th\
e following
conditions are met:
  The ignition is switched ON.  The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) is on.  The selector lever is in a position other than reverse (R).  The vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19 mph or faster).   The objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles.  The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) may also operate in the\
presence of
motorcycles and bicycles.
  The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) system may not operate \
normally
under the following conditions:
  The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) has a malfunction.  The vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed.   The system does not operate with the following objects:   Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.  Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
