2018 MAZDA MODEL 6 light

NOTE
xThe BSM will operate when all of the following conditions are met:
xThe ignition is switched ON.
xThe BSM OFF switch is pressed and the BSM OFF switch indicator light is turned off.
xThe vehicle speed is about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster.
xThe BSM will not operate under the following circumstances.
xThe vehicle speed falls below about 25 km/h (15 mph) even though the BSM OFF switch
indicator light is turned off.
xThe shift lever (manual transaxle)/selector lever (automatic transaxle) is shifted to R
position and the vehicle is reversing.
xThe turning radius is small (making a sharp turn, turning at intersections).
xIn the following cases, the BSM OFF indicator light turns on and operation of the system
is stopped. If the BSM OFF indicator light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected
at an Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as possible.
xSome problem with the system including the BSM warning indicator lights is detected.
xA large deviation in the installation position of a radar sensor (rear) on the vehicle has
occurred.
xThere is a large accumulation of snow or ice on the rear bumper near a radar sensor
(rear). Remove any snow, ice or mud on the rear bumper.
xDriving on snow-covered roads for long periods.
xThe temperature near the radar sensors (rear) becomes extremely hot due to driving for
long periods on slopes during the summer.
xThe battery voltage has decreased.
xUnder the following conditions, the radar sensors (rear) cannot detect target objects or it
may be difficult to detect them.
xA vehicle is in the detection area at the rear in an adjacent driving lane but it does not
approach. The BSM determines the condition based on radar detection data.
xA vehicle is travelling alongside your vehicle at nearly the same speed for an extended
period of time.
xVehicles approaching in the opposite direction.
xA vehicle in an adjacent driving lane is attempting to pass your vehicle.
xA vehicle is in an adjacent lane on a road with extremely wide driving lanes. The
detection area of the radar sensors (rear) is set at the road width of expressways.
xIn the following case, the flashing of the BSM warning indicator light, and the activation
of the warning sound and the warning screen indicator display may not occur or they may
be delayed.

xWhen there is a difference in the height between your driving lane and the adjacent
lane.
xDirectly after the BSM system becomes operable by changing the setting.
xIf the road width is extremely narrow, vehicles 2 lanes over may be detected. The detection
area of the radar sensors (rear) is set according to the road width of expressways.
xThe BSM warning indicator light may turn on and the vehicle detection screen may be
displayed in the display in reaction to stationary objects (guardrails, tunnels, sidewalls,
and parked vehicles) on the road or the roadside.
Objects such as guardrails and concrete walls
running alongside the vehicle.Places where the width between guardrails or
walls on each side of the vehicle narrows.
The walls at the entrance and exits of tunnels,
turnouts.
xA BSM warning indicator light may flash or the warning beep and the warning screen
indicator display may be activated several times when making a turn at a city
intersection.
xTurn off the BSM while pulling a trailer or while an accessory such as a bicycle carrier is
installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the radar’s radio waves will be blocked
causing the system to not operate normally.
xIn the following cases, it may be difficult to view the illumination/flashing of the BSM
warning indicator lights equipped on the door mirrors.
xSnow or ice is adhering to the door mirrors.
xThe front door glass is fogged or covered in snow, frost or dirt.
xThe system switches to the Rear Cross Traffic Alert function when the shift lever (manual
transaxle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) is shifted to the reverse (R) position.

Always check the
traffic signs visually while driving.
The TSR helps prevent the driver from overlooking traffic signs and provides support for safer
driving. Depending on the weather conditions or problems with
traffic signs, a
traffic sign
may not be recognised or a traffic sign different from the actual traffic sign may be displayed.
Always make it your responsibility as a driver to check the actual
traffic signs. Otherwise, it
could result in an accident.
NOTE
xThe TSR does not operate if there is a malfunction in the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
xUnder the following conditions, the TSR may not operate normally.
xAn object placed on the instrument panel is reflected in the windscreen and picked up
by the camera.

tunnel.
xThe illumination of the headlights is weakened because of dirt or the optical axis is
deviated.
xThe windscreen is dirty or foggy.

xVehicles approaching in the opposite direction
xPedestrians
xStationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
xIf a vehicle ahead is travelling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it
correctly.
xDuring headway control travel, do not set the system on two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorcycles and bicycles.
xDo not use the MRCC system under conditions in which the close proximity warnings are
frequently activated.
xDuring headway control travel, the system accelerates and decelerates your vehicle in
conjunction with the speed of the vehicle ahead. However, if it is necessary to accelerate
for a lane change or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly causing you to close in on the
vehicle rapidly, accelerate using the accelerator pedal or decelerate using the brake
pedal depending on the conditions.
xWhile the MRCC system is in use, it does not cancel even if the selector lever (automatic
transaxle)/shift lever (manual transaxle) is operated and any intended engine braking will
not occur. If deceleration is required, lower the vehicle speed setting or depress the brake
pedal.
xThe brake lights are illuminated while the MRCC automatic braking is operating,
however, they may not be illuminated while the vehicle is on a down slope at the set
vehicle speed or travelling at a constant speed and following a vehicle ahead.
xThe MRCC warning light (amber) illuminates when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Contact Mazda Repairer and Have Vehicle Inspected on page 7-49.
x(With Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL))
The headway control operation can be cancelled and the system can be switched to only
Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL).
Refer to Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL) on page 4-212.
x(With Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA))
The headway control operation can be cancelled and the system can be switched to only
Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA).
Refer to Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) on page 4-221.

xIf the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white (yellow) line, the system determines that the driver is
making a lane change and the LAS & LDWS operation is temporarily cancelled. The LAS
& LDWS becomes operational again when the system detects white (yellow) lane lines
while the vehicle is being driven normally within its vehicle lane.
xIf the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly within a short period of time, the LAS &
LDWS may not operate.
xWhen white (yellow) lane lines are not detected, the LAS & LDWS does not operate.
xUnder the following conditions, the LAS & LDWS may not be able to detect white (yellow)
lane lines correctly and it may not operate normally.
xIf an object placed on the instrument panel is reflected in the windscreen and picked up
by the camera.
xHeavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat and the
vehicle is tilted.
