Setting the System
WARNING
Always verify the safety of the surrounding area when setting the adjustable speed
limiter:
If the speed is set lower than the current vehicle speed, the vehicle speed is decreased
to the set speed. Verify the safety of the surrounding area and keep a safer distance
between vehicles ahead and behind you.
1. Press the MODE switch to turn the system on.
2. Press the SET
to set the speed. When the current vehicle speed is 30 km/h (20 mph) or
more, the speed is set to the current vehicle speed. When the current vehicle speed is less
than 30 km/h (20 mph), the speed is set to 30 km/h (20 mph).
3. To increase the set speed, press the RESUME/
switch continuously. The set speed can
be adjusted in 10 km/h (5 mph) increments. The set speed can also be adjusted in about 1
km/h (1 mph) increments by pressing the RESUME/
switch momentary. For example,
the set speed increases about 4 km/h (4 mph) by pressing the RESUME/
switch 4
times.
4. To decrease the set speed, press the SET
switch continuously. The set speed can be
adjusted in 10 km/h (5 mph) decrements. The set speed can also be adjusted in about 1
km/h (1 mph) increments by pressing the SET
switch momentary. For example, the set
speed decreases about 4 km/h (4 mph) by pressing the SET
switch 4 times.

i-ACTIVSENSE
*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 Departure Warning System (LDWS)
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of the vehicle while
travelling at night and detects traf¿ 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 ¿ lm to the windscreen 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 modi¿ 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 ¿ 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 instrument panel which reÀ ect light.



 Always keep the windscreen glass around the camera clean by removing dirt or
fogging. Use the windscreen defroster to remove fogging on the windscreen.
 


 Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer regarding
cleaning the interior side of the windscreen around the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC).
 


 Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer before
performing repairs around the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
 


 The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed to the windscreen. Consult an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer for windscreen repair and
replacement.
 


 When performing repairs around the rearview mirror, consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
 


 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 Departure Warning System
(LDWS), and the High Beam Control System (HBC) and consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
 


 The direction in which the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is pointed has been ¿ nely
adjusted. Do not change the installation position of the Forward Sensing Camera

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
*Some models.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (Vehicle with
Conventional Tyres)
*
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all four tyres. If
the air pressure of one or more tyres is too low, the system warns the driver by indicating the
tyre pressure monitoring system warning light in the instrument cluster and operating a beep
sound. The system monitors the tyre pressures indirectly using the data sent from the ABS
wheel speed sensors.
To allow the system to operate correctly, the system needs to be initialized with the speci¿ ed
tyre pressure (value on the tyre pressure label). Follow the procedure and perform the
initialization.
Refer to Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on page 4-143 .
The warning light À ashes when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning Lights on page 4-42 .
