When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
Drive the vehicle in the center of the
driving lane while the Lane-keep Assist
System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning
System (LDWS) OFF indicator light in the
instrument cluster is turned off.
The system becomes operational when all
of the following conditions are met.
The system detects white (yellow) lane
lines on both the right and left sides or
on either side.
The vehicle speed is about 60 km/h
(37 mph) or faster.
The vehicle is driven on a straight road
or road with gentle curves.
The engine is running.
The Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) &
Lane Departure Warning System (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 vehicle is making a sharp curve. The vehicle is making a curve at an
inappropriate speed.
NOTE
The Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)
& Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS) remains on stand-by until it
detects white (yellow) lines on both the
left and right sides, or on either side.
When the system detects a white
(yellow) lane line on one side only, the
system will not activate warnings for the
lane line on the side that is not being
detected.
The distance and warning sensitivity
(likelihood of a warning) which the
system uses to determine the possibility
of a lane departure can be changed.
Refer to Setting Change (Personalization Features) on page
9-11 .
Vehicle lane line display
When the Lane-keep Assist System
(LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS) becomes operational while
on standby, the vehicle lane lines are
displayed in the multi-information display.
The system changes to operational status
display when the system detects a white
(yellow) line on either the left or right.

*Some models.
Radar Sensor (Front) *
Your vehicle is equipped with a radar sensor (front).
The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go\
function) Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The radar sensor (front) functions by detecting the radio waves re fl ected off a vehicle ahead
or an obstruction sent from the radar sensor.
The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the front emblem.

If “Front Radar Sensor Blocked” is displayed in the multi-informat\
ion display of the
instrument cluster, clean the area around the radar sensor (front).

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.

When Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
*Some models.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System *
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the pressure for each tire.
If tire pressure is too low in one or more tires, the system will inform\
the driver via the
warning light in the instrument cluster and by the warning beep sound.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning Lights on page 4-33 .
Refer to Tire Infl ation Pressure Warning Beep on page 7-42 .
The tire pressure sensors installed on each wheel send tire pressure dat\
a by radio signal to
the receiver unit in the vehicle.
Tire pressure sensors
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is low due to seasonal changes, tire temperatures are also
lower. When the tire temperature decreases, the air pressure decreases as well. The TPMS
warning light may illuminate more frequently. Visually inspect the tires daily before driving,
and check tire pressures monthly with a tire pressure gauge. When checking tire pressures,
use of a digital tire pressure gauge is recommended.
TPMS does not alleviate your need to check the pressure and condition of\
all four tires
regularly.

Driving in dusty conditions
The vehicle calculates the remaining oil life based on engine operating \
conditions. The
vehicle lets you know when an oil change is due by illuminating the wren\
ch indicator light
in the instrument cluster. Change the oil as soon as possible within the next 1000 km
(600 mile) or 15 days. Refer page 6-16 for the details.
