Drive Selection*
▼Drive Selection
Drive selection is a system to switch
the vehicle's drive mode. When the
sport mode is selected, vehicle's
response against accelerator operation
is enhanced. This provides additional
quick acceleration which may be
needed to safely make manoeuvres
such as lane changes, merging onto
freeways, or passing other vehicles.
CAUTION
Do not use the sport mode when
driving on slippery roads such as wet
or snow-covered roads. It may cause
tyre slipping.
NOTE
xWhen the sport mode is selected,
driving at higher engine speeds
increases and it may increase fuel
consumption. Mazda recommends
that you cancel the sport mode on
normal driving.
xDrive mode cannot be switched in
the following conditions:
xABS/TCS/DSC is operatingxCruise control* is operating.xThe Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) system* is operating.xThe Mazda Radar Cruise Control

Adaptive Front Lighting
System (AFS)
*
▼Adaptive Front Lighting System
(AFS)
The adaptive front lighting system
(AFS) automatically adjusts the
headlight beams to the left or right in
conjunction with the operation of the
steering wheel after the headlights
have been turned on and the vehicle
speed is about 2 km/h (2 mph) or
higher.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Exterior Light Warning
Indication/Warning Light on page
7-58.
NOTE
xHeadlights do not blind drivers
approaching in the opposite
direction no matter what side of the
road you must drive your vehicle
(left-hand or right-hand traffic).
Therefore, it is not necessary to
adjust the optical axis of the
headlights when switching
temporarily to driving on the
opposite side of the road (left-hand
or right-hand
traffic).
xThe Adaptive Front Lighting System
(AFS) can be switched to enable/
disable using the personalisation
function.

▼To Operate the System
The HBC operates to switch the
headlights automatically between high
and low beams after the ignition is
switched ON and the headlight switch
is in the AUTO and low beam position.
The HBC determines that it is dark
based on the brightness of the
surrounding area. At the same time,
the HBC indicator light (green) in the
instrument cluster illuminates.

NOTE
Operation of the HBC function can be
disabled.
Refer to the Settings section in the

(BSM)
*
▼Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
The BSM is designed to assist the driver
in checking the area to the rear of the
vehicle on both sides during lane
changes by notifying the driver of the
presence of vehicles approaching from
the rear in an adjacent lane.
BSM operation
The BSM detects vehicles approaching
from the rear while travelling in the
forward direction at a speed of 30
km/h (19 mph) or faster and notifies
the driver by turning on the BSM
warning indicator light and displaying
the vehicle detection screen.
If the direction indicator lever is
operated to signal a turn in the
direction in which the BSM warning
indicator light is illuminated while the
approaching vehicle is detected, the
BSM notifies the driver of possible
danger
flashing on the BSM warning
indicator light, and by activating the
warning sound and the warning screen
indicator display.
The detection area on this system
covers the driving lanes on both sides
of the vehicle and from the rear part of
the front doors to about 50 m (164 ft)
behind the vehicle.

WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually before making an actual lane
change:
The system is only designed to assist
you in checking for vehicles at your rear
when making a lane change. Due to
certain limitations with the operation
of this system, the BSM warning
indicator light, the warning sound and
the warning screen indicator display
may not activate or they might be
delayed even though a vehicle is in an
adjacent driving lane. Always make it
your responsibility as a driver to check
the rear.
