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

High Beam Control
System (HBC)
*
▼High Beam Control System (HBC)
The HBC determines the conditions in
front of the vehicle using the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) while driving in
darkness to automatically switch the
headlights between high and low
beams.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-216.
While driving the vehicle at a speed of
about 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, the
headlights are switched to high beams
when there are no vehicles ahead or
approaching in the opposite direction.
The system switches the headlights to
low beams when one of the following
occurs:
xThe system detects a vehicle or the
headlights/lights of a vehicle
approaching in the opposite
direction.
xThe vehicle is driven on roads lined
with streetlamps or on roads in
well-lit cities and towns.
xThe vehicle is driven at less than
about 20 km/h (12 mph).
xThe headlight high-beam indicator
light turns on while the high beams
are on.
1. Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)*1
*1 The recognition distance of the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) varies according to
the surrounding conditions.
The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to High Beam Control System
(HBC) Warning Indication/Warning
Light (Amber) on page 7-58.
CAUTION
¾Do not adjust the vehicle height,
modify the headlight units, or
remove the camera, otherwise the
system will not operate normally.
¾Do not rely excessively on the HBC
and drive the vehicle while paying
sufficient attention to safety. Switch
the headlights between the high
beams and low beams manually if
necessary.
NOTE
The timing in which the system
switches the headlights changes under
the following conditions. If the system
does not switch the headlights
appropriately, manually switch
between high and low beams
according to the visibility as well as
road and traffic conditions.
xWhen there are sources of light in
the area such as street lamps,
illuminated signboards, and traffic
signals.
xWhen there are reflective objects in
the surrounding area such as
reflective plates and signs.
xWhen visibility is reduced under rain,
snow and foggy conditions.
xWhen driving on roads with sharp
turn or hilly terrain.
xWhen the headlights/rear lamps of
vehicles in front of you or in the
opposite lane are dim or not
illuminated.

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.
1. Forward sensing camera (FSC)
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.

Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)*
▼Tra ffi c Sign Recognition System (TSR)
The TSR helps prevent the driver from overlooking traffic signs, and provides support
for safer driving by displaying traffic signs on the active driving display/instrument
cluster which are recognised by the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or recorded in
the navigation system while the vehicle is driven.
The TSR displays the speed limit (including auxiliary signs) , do not enter,
traffic stop,
and passing prohibited
* signs.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the active driving
display/instrument cluster while the vehicle is driven, the system notifies the driver
using the indication in the active driving display/instrument cluster and a warning
sound.
