Chains may scratch or chip aluminum
wheels.
NOTE
•If your vehicle is equipped with the tire
pressure monitoring system, the system
may not function corr ectly when using
tire chains.
Install the chains on the front tires only.
Do not use chains on the rear tires.
Please consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
Installing the chains
1. If your vehicle is equipped with wheel covers remove them, otherwise the
chain bands will scratch them.
2. Secure the chains on the front tires as
tightly as possible.
Always follow the chain
manufacturer's instructions.
3. Retighten the ch ains after driving
1/2―1 km (1/4―1/2 mile).
Driving In Flooded Area
WA R N I N G
Dry off brakes that have become wet by
driving slowly, releasing the accelerator
pedal and lightly applying the brakes
several times until the brake performance
returns to normal:
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the vehicle
pulling to one side when braking could
result in a serious accident. Light braking
will indicate whether the brakes have been
affected.
CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle on flooded roads
as it could cause short circuiting of
electrical/electronic parts, or engine
damage or stalling from water absorption.
If the vehicle has been immersed in water,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

CAUTION
If you stop operating the accelerator pedal befo re the vehicle starts moving, the force holding
the vehicle in the stopped position may weaken. Firmly depress the brake pedal or depress the
accelerator pedal to accelerate the vehicle.
NOTE
•Under the following conditions, a problem wi th the AUTOHOLD is occurring. Have your
vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
•The brake pedal operation demand warning ligh t (red) in the instrument cluster flashes

driving the vehicle
If you do any of the following actions to
resume driving the v ehicle, the brakes
release automatically and the
AUTOHOLD active indi cator light turns
off.
•(Manual transaxle vehicle)
You start to release the clutch pedal with
the shift lever shifted to a position other
than the neutral position
•(Automatic transaxle vehicle)
•The accelerator pedal is depressed.
•The vehicle tilts rearward or the
selector lever is shifted to the R

▼Camera and Sensors
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects lane indications and r
ecognizes headlights,
taillights and city lights during nighttime driving. In addition, it also detects the vehicle
ahead, pedestrians, or obstructions. The following systems also use the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC).
•High Beam Control system (HBC)
•Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
•Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
•Mazda Radar Cruise Control with S top & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function)
•Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)
•Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
•Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed at the top of the windshield near the
rearview mirror.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) on page 4-130.
Radar sensor (front)
The radar sensor (front) function s by detecting the radio waves reflected off a vehicle ahead
sent from the radar sensor. The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).
•Mazda Radar Cruise Control with S top & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function)
•Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
•Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The radar sensor (front) is moun ted behind the radiator grille.

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.
