When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
CAUTION
  When driving off -road in areas where there is grass or foliage, it is recommended that the
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off .




 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 Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not
operate normally.
 


 The laser sensor (front) 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.

NOTE
 


 The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is deliberately
performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
 


 The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following conditions. 



 The engine is running.
 “Forward Smart City Brake Support Malfunction” is not displayed in the multi-
information display.
 


 The vehicle speed is between about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph).



 The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.



 The DSC is not malfunctioning. 



 The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a near-infrared
laser beam and receiving the beam refl ected off the refl ector of the vehicle ahead, and
then using it for the measurement. Consequently, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
may not operate under the following conditions:
 


 Refl ection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.



 The vehicle ahead is signifi cantly dirty.



 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.
 


 The windshield is dirty.



 The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is accelerated
rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
 


 Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high profi le.



 Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.

*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 following systems.
 


 High Beam Control System (HBC)



 Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)



 Smart Brake Support (SBS)

The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of the vehicle while
traveling at night and detects traffi c lanes. The distance in which the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) can detect objects varies depending on the surrounding conditions.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
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.
 


 Heed the following cautions to assure the correct operation of the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC).
 


 The direction of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) has been fi nely adjusted, therefore
do not change the installation position or remove 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 performing repairs around the rearview mirror, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
 


 Do not hit or apply strong force to the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or the area
around it. If strong force is applied, stop using the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane
Departure Warning System (LDWS), the High Beam Control System (HBC), and the Smart
Brake Support (SBS) and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 


 The direction in which the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is pointed has been fi nely
adjusted. Do not change the installation position of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
or remove it. Otherwise, it could result in damage or malfunction.
