Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is
positioned near the rearview mirror
and used by the following systems.
xHigh Beam Control System (HBC)xAdaptive LED Headlights (ALH)xLane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)
xTraffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)xDistance & Speed Alert (DSA)xDriver Attention Alert (DAA)xMazda Radar Cruise Control

1. Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)

The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
determines the conditions ahead of
the vehicle while travelling at night and
detects traffic lanes. The distance in
which the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) can detect objects varies
depending on the surrounding
conditions.
WARNING
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is
changed, the system will not be able to
correctly detect vehicles ahead. This
will result in the system not operating
normally or mistakenly operating,
which could cause a serious accident.
CAUTION
¾Do not apply accessories, stickers or
film 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.
¾Do not disassemble or modify the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
Disassembly or
modification 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.
¾Heed the following cautions to
assure the correct operation of the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
¾Be careful not to scratch the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
lens or allow it to get dirty.
¾Do not remove the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) cover.
¾Do not place objects on the
instrument panel which reflect
light.

¾The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
includes a function for detecting a
soiled windscreen and informing the
driver, however, depending on the
conditions, it may not detect plastic
shopping bags, ice or snow on the
windscreen. In such cases, the
system cannot accurately determine
a vehicle ahead and may not be able
to operate normally. Always drive
carefully and pay attention to the
road ahead.
