Front Radar Sensor*
▼Front Radar Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with a front
radar sensor.
The following systems also use the
front radar sensor.
xDistance & Speed Alert (DSA)xMazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
xMazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function)
xCruising & Traffic Support (CTS)xSmart Brake Support (SBS)
The front radar sensor functions by
detecting the radio waves reflected off
a vehicle ahead or an obstruction sent
from the radar sensor.
The front radar sensor is mounted
behind the front emblem.
1. Front radar sensor

If “Safety and Driver Support Systems
Temporarily Disabled. Front Radar
Obscured. Drive Safely” is displayed on
the multi-information display of the
instrument cluster, clean the area
around the front radar sensor.
CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to
assure correct operation of each
system.
When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
4-220*Some models.

¾Do not adhere stickers (including
transparent stickers) to the surface of
the radiator grille and front emblem
in and around the front radar sensor,
and do not replace the radiator grille
and front emblem with any product
that is not a genuine product
designed for use with the front radar
sensor.
¾The front radar sensor includes a
function for detecting soiling of the
radar sensor's front surface and
informing the driver, however,
depending on the conditions, it may
require time to detect or it may not
detect plastic shopping bags, ice or
snow. If this occurs, the system may
not operate correctly, therefore
always keep the front radar sensor
clean.
¾Do not install a grille guard.
¾If the front part of the vehicle has
been damaged in a vehicle accident,
the position of the front radar sensor
may have moved. Stop the system
immediately and always have the
vehicle inspected at an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
¾Do not use the front bumper to push
other vehicles or obstructions such
as when pulling out of a parking
space. Otherwise, the front radar
sensor could be hit and its position
deviated.
¾Do not remove, disassemble, or
modify the front radar sensor.
¾For repairs, replacement or paint
work around the front radar sensor,
consult an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer).¾Do not modify the suspensions. If
the suspensions are modified, the
vehicle's posture could change and
the front radar sensor may not be
able to correctly detect a vehicle
ahead or an obstruction.
NOTE
xUnder the following conditions, the
front radar sensor may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead or obstructions
correctly and each system may not
operate normally.
xThe rear surface of a vehicle ahead
does not reflect radio waves
effectively, such as an unloaded
trailer or an automobile with a
loading platform covered by a soft
top, vehicles with a hard plastic
tailgate, and round-shaped
vehicles.
xVehicles ahead with low vehicle
height and thus less area for
reflecting radio waves.
xVisibility is reduced due to a
vehicle ahead casting
off water,
snow, or sand from its tyres and
onto your windscreen.
xThe luggage compartment is
loaded with heavy objects or the
rear passenger seats are occupied.
xIce, snow, or soiling is on the front
surface of the front emblem.
xDuring inclement weather such as
rain, snow, or sand storms.
xWhen driving near facilities or
objects emitting strong radio
waves.
xUnder the following conditions, the
front radar sensor may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead or
obstructions.
xThe beginning and end of a curve.xRoads with continuous curves.
When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
4-221

xNarrow lane roads due to road
construction or lane closures.
xThe vehicle ahead enters the radar
sensor's blind spot.
xThe vehicle ahead is running
abnormally due to accident or
vehicle damage.
xRoads with repeated up and down
slopes
xDriving on poor roads or unpaved
roads.
xThe distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead is extremely
short.
xA vehicle suddenly comes close,
such as by cutting into your lane.
xTo prevent incorrect operation of the
system, use tyres of the same
specified size, manufacturer, brand,
and tread pattern on all four wheels.
In addition, do not use tyres with
significantly different wear patterns
or tyre pressures on the same vehicle
(Including the temporary spare tyre).
xIf the battery power is weak, the
system may not operate correctly.
xWhen driving on roads with little
traffic and few vehicles ahead or
obstructions for the front radar
sensor to detect, “Safety and Driver
Support Systems Temporarily
Disabled. Front Radar Obscured.
Drive Safely” may be temporarily
displayed, however, this does not
indicate a problem.
xThe radar sensors are regulated by
the relevant radio wave laws of the
country in which the vehicle is
driven. If the vehicle is driven
abroad, authorization from the
country in which the vehicle is driven
may be required.
Front Side Radar Sensor*
▼Front Side Radar Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with front
side radar sensor. The following
systems also use the front side radar
sensor.
xFront Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA)
The front side radar sensor function by
detecting the radio waves reflected off
a vehicle approaching from the front or
an obstruction sent from the radar
sensor.
1. Front side radar sensor

The front side radar sensors are
installed inside the front bumper, one
on each side.
Always keep the surface of the front
bumper near the front side radar
sensors clean so that they operate
normally. Also, do not apply items such
as stickers.
Refer to Exterior Care on page 6-54.
CAUTION
If the front bumper receives a severe
impact, the system may no longer
operate normally. Stop the system
immediately and have the vehicle
inspected at an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer).
When Driving

side radar sensor has become
deformed.
xSnow, ice or mud adheres to the
front side radar sensor on the front
bumper.
xUnder bad weather conditions
such as rain, snow and fog.

front side radar sensor cannot detect
target objects or it may be
difficult to
detect them.
xSmall motorcycles, bicycles,
pedestrians, animals, shopping
carts, and stationary objects on a
road or a road side.
xVehicle shapes which do not
reflect radar waves well such as
empty trailers with a low vehicle
height and sports cars.
xVehicles are shipped with the
direction of the front side radar
sensor adjusted for each vehicle to a
loaded vehicle condition so that the
front side radar sensor detect
approaching vehicles correctly. If the
direction of the front side radar
sensor has deviated for some reason,
have the vehicle inspected at an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
xFor repairs or replacement of the
front side radar sensor, or bumper
repairs, paintwork, and replacement
near the radar sensors, consult an
expert repairer (we recommend an
