i-ACTIVSENSE
  In the following cases, the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) may not be able to detect
target objects correctly.
  Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.  The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used when it's
raining.
  Ice, fog, snow, frost, rainfall, dirt, or foreign matter such as a plastic bag is stuck on
the windshield.
  Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high pro fi le.   When driving next to walls with no patterning (including fences and lon\
gitudinally
striped walls).
  The taillights of the vehicle ahead are turned off.  A vehicle is outside the illumination range of the headlights.  The vehicle is making a sharp turn, or ascending or descending a steep s\
lope.  Entering or exiting a tunnel.  Heavy luggage is loaded causing the vehicle to tilt.  Strong light is shone at the front of the vehicle (back light or high-beam light from on-
coming vehicles).
  There are many light emitters on the vehicle ahead.  When the vehicle ahead is not equipped with taillights or the taillights\
are turned off at
nighttime.
  Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
  Exhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water vapor rising from
manholes and grating, and water splashed into the air.
  When towing a malfunctioning vehicle.  The vehicle is driven with tires having signi fi cantly different wear.   The vehicle is driven on down slopes or bumpy roads.  There are water puddles on the road.  The surroundings are dark such as during the night, early evening, or early morning,
or in a tunnel or indoor parking lot.
  The illumination brightness of the headlights is reduced or the headlight illumination
is weakened due to dirt or a deviated optical axis.
  The target object enters the blind spot of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).  A person or object bursts onto the road from the shoulder or cuts right in front of you.  You change lanes and approach a vehicle ahead.  When driving extremely close to the target object.  Tire chains or a temporary spare tire is installed.  The vehicle ahead has a special shape. For example, a vehicle towing a t\
railer house
or a boat, or a vehicle carrier carrying a vehicle with its front pointed rearward.

Climate Control System
Operating Tips
  Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.
   To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
dial/switch on for a long period of time
with the ignition switched ON when the
engine is not running.
   Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system effi ciency.
  Use the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
   The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while in
a traffi c jam, or when you would like to
shut off outside air for quick cooling of
the interior.
   Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.
   If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the climate control system.

   Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes
at least once a month to keep internal
parts lubricated.
   Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
effi cient.
 The refrigerant speci fi cations are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before re fi lling the refrigerant.
If the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
 For details, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
