2019 MAZDA MODEL CX-3 wheel

The functions of the LDWS have limitations:
Always stay on course using the steering wheel and drive with care. The system is not
designed to compensate for a driver’s lack of caution and if you rely too much on the LDWS it
could lead to an accident. The driver is resp onsible for assuring lane changes and other
maneuvers. Always pay attention to the directi on in which the vehicle is traveling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
CAUTION
Do not modify the suspension. If the vehicle he ight or the damping force of the suspensions is
changed, the LDWS may not operate correctly.
NOTE
•If your vehicle deviates from its traffic lane, the LDWS operates (warning sound and
indicator light). Steer the vehicle adequately to drive the vehicle to the center of the lane.
•When the turn signal lever is operated for a lane change, the LDWS warning is
automatically canceled. The LDWS warning becomes operable when the turn signal lever
is returned and the system detects the white or yellow lines.
•If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white or yellow line, the system determines that the driver is
making a lane change and the LDWS warning is automatically canceled.
•The LDWS may not operate during the period immediately after the vehicle has deviated
from its lane and the LDWS has operated, or the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly
within a short period of time.
•The LDWS does not operate if it does not det ect the white or yellow lines of the traffic
lane.
•Under the following conditions, the LDWS may not be able to detect white or yellow lines
correctly and the LDWS may not operate correctly.
•If an object placed on the dashboard is reflected in the windshield and picked up by the
camera.
•Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat and the
vehicle is inclined.
•The tire pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.
•When the vehicle is driven on the entry and exit to or from the rest area or tollgate of a
highway.
•The white or yellow lines are less visi ble because of dirt or paint flaking.
•The vehicle ahead is running near a white or yellow line and the line is less visible.
•A white or yellow line is less visible be cause of bad weather (rain, fog, or snow).
•The vehicle is driven on a temporary lane or section with a closed lane due to
construction.

Auto cancel
In the following cases, the LDWS cancels
automatically and the LDWS warning
light in the instrument cluster turns on.
•The temperature inside the camera is
high or low.
•The windshield around the camera is
foggy.
•The windshield around the camera is
blocked by an obstruction, causing poor
forward visibility.
The LDWS is enabled automatically when
the operation conditions are met, and the
LDWS warning light turns off.
Auto cancel warning
When the following operations are
performed, the LDWS determines that the
driver intends to make a lane change and
the LDWS warning is canceled
automatically. The LDWS is enabled
automatically after the driver performs the
operation.
•The steering wheel is operated abruptly.
•The brake pedal is depressed abruptly.
•The accelerator pedal is depressed
abruptly.
•The turn signal lever is operated (after
the turn signal lever is returned, the
LDWS may not operate for about 3
seconds which is the period of time
required to make a lane correction).
NOTE
After about 30 seconds have elapsed with
the turn signal lever left operating, the
LDWS warning may operate if the vehicle
is close to a white or yellow line.
▼ Canceling the System
Press the LDWS OFF switch to cancel the
LDWS. The LDWS OFF indicator light
turns on.
▼Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS) Warning
If the system determines that there is the
possibility of a lane
departure, the LDWS
warning beep activates and the LDWS
warning light flashes. Operate the steering
wheel appropriately and steer the vehicle
to the center of the lane.
For vehicles equipped with the active
driving display, if there is the possibility of
a lane departure, the system indicates the
direction it determines that the vehicle is
deviating in the active driving display.
Indication on display

NOTE
•If the LDWS warning sound is set to
rumble

Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)*
The DRSS measures the distance between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar
sensor (front) while the vehicle speed is about 30 km/h (19 mph ) or faster, and if your
vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely than what is ap propriate for maintaining
distance between the vehicles according to the vehicle speed, a notification in the active
driving display is indicated to advise you to keep a safe dista nce from the vehicle ahead.
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the DRSS and always drive carefully:
The ability to detect a vehicle ahead is limite d depending on the type of vehicle ahead, the
weather conditions, and the traffic conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator and brake pedals
are not operated correctly it could lead to an accident. Always verify the safety of the
surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a safer
distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
NOTE
•The DRSS operates when all of the following conditions are met:
•The ignition is switched ON.
•The DRSS is on.
•The selector lever is in a position other than reverse (R).
•The vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19 mph or faster).
•The objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles.
•The DRSS may also operate in the presence of motorcycles and bicycles.
•The DRSS may not operate normally under the following conditions:
•The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) has a malfunction.
•The vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed.
•The system does not operate with the following objects:
•Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.
•Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)

Roads where frequent and repetitive accelerati on and deceleration occur (Driving under
these conditions using the MRCC with Stop & Go function system is not possible).
 When entering and exiting interchanges, servic e areas, and parking areas of highways (If
you exit a highway while headway control is in use, the vehicle ahead will no longer be
tracked and your vehicle may accelerate to the set speed).
 Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads (Tires could spin causing you to lose vehicle
control, or the stop hold control may not operate.)
 Long, descending slopes (to maintain distance between vehicles, the system automatically
and continuously applies the brakes which could result in the loss of brake power.)
 Slopes with a steep gradient (The vehicle ahea d may not be detected correctly, your vehicle
may slide while stopped by the stop hold control, and it may accelerate suddenly after it
starts moving.)
For safety purposes, switch the MRCC with Stop & Go function system off when it is not being
used.
Do not get out of the vehicle while the stop hold control is operating:
Getting out of the vehicle while the stop hold co ntrol is operating is dangerous as the vehicle
may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. Before getting out of the vehicle, switch the
MRCC with Stop & Go function system off, shift the selector lever to the P position, and apply
the parking brake.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the MRCC with Stop & Go
function system off to prevent a mis-operation.
NOTE
•The MRCC with Stop & Go function system does not detect the following as physical
objects.
•Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction
•Pedestrians
•Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
•If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it
correctly.
•During headway control travel, do not set the system for detection of two-wheeled
vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles.
•Do not use the MRCC with Stop & Go function system under conditions in which close
proximity warnings are frequently activated.

Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)*
The Advanced SCBS alerts the driver of a possible collision usi ng the display and a warning
sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects a vehicle a head or pedestrian and
determines that a collision with the object is unavoidable whil e the vehicle is driven at a
vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph) if the object is a vehicle ahead and about
10 to 80 km/h (6.2 to 50 mph) if the object is a pedestrian. In addition, the system reduces
damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake contr ol (Advanced SCBS brake)
when the system determines that a collision is unavoidable. In addition, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal, the brakes are applied firmly and qu ickly to assist. (Brake Assist
