Lane Departure Warning
System (LDWS)

▼Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)
The LDWS alerts the driver that the
vehicle may be deviating from its lane.
The system detects the white (yellow)
lines on the traffic lane using the
forward sensing camera (FSC) and if it
determines that the vehicle might be
deviating from its lane, it
notifies the
driver by the LDWS.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-216.
Use the LDWS when you drive the
vehicle on roads with white (yellow)
lines.

WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
LDWS:
¾The LDWS system is not designed to
compensate for a driver’s lack of
caution and relying too much on the
system could lead to an accident.
¾The functions of the LDWS have
limitations. Always stay on course
using the steering wheel and drive
with care.
CAUTION
Heed the following cautions so that
the LDWS can operate normally.
¾Do not modify the vehicle's
suspensions.
¾Always use tyres of the
specified type
and size for the front and rear
wheels. Consult an expert repairer
(we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer) for tyre
replacement.
NOTE
The system may not operate normally
under the following conditions.
xThe white (yellow) lane lines are less
visible because of dirt or paint
flaking.
xWhite (yellow) lane lines are less
visible because of bad weather (rain,
fog, or snow).
xThe vehicle is driven on a temporary
lane or section with a closed lane
resulting from construction where
there might be multiple white
(yellow) lane lines, or they are
interrupted.
xThe camera picks up an obscure line,
such as a temporary line being used
for construction, or because of
shade, unmelted snow, or grooves
filled with water.
xThe surrounding brightness suddenly
changes such as when entering or
exiting a tunnel.
xBack-light is reflected off the road
surface.
