▼Camera and Sensors
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
detects lane indications and recognises
headlights, tail lights and city lights
during nighttime driving. In addition, it
also detects the vehicle ahead,
pedestrians, or obstructions. The
following systems use the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
xHigh Beam Control system (HBC) xAdaptive LED Headlights (ALH) xLane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)
xTra ffi c Sign Recognition System (TSR) xDistance & Speed Alert (DSA) xDriver Attention Alert (DAA) xMazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
xMazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function)
xLane-keep Assist System (LAS) xCruising &
Tra ffi c Support (CTS) xSmart Brake Support (SBS)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is
installed at the top of the windscreen
near the rearview mirror.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-216.
Front radar sensor
The front radar sensor detects radio
waves reflected off a vehicle ahead
sent from the radar sensor. The
following systems use the front radar
sensor.

(MRCC)
xMazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with

xCruising & Traffic Support (CTS) xSmart Brake Support (SBS)
The front radar sensor is mounted
behind the radiator grille.

4-220.
Front side radar sensor
The front side radar sensors detects
radio waves reflected off a vehicle
ahead sent from the radar sensor. The
following systems use the front side
radar sensor.
xFront Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA)
The front side radar sensors are
installed inside the front bumper, one
on the left side and one on the right
side.
Refer to Front Side Radar Sensor on
page 4-222.
Rear side radar sensor
The rear side radar sensors emit radio
waves and detect the radio waves
reflected off a vehicle approaching
from the rear or an obstruction. The
following systems use the rear side
radar sensor.

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.

Adaptive LED Headlights
(ALH)
*
▼Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
The ALH are a system which uses the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) to
determine the situation of a vehicle
ahead or a vehicle approaching in the
opposite direction while driving at
night to automatically switch the
illumination range of the headlights,
the illuminated area, or the
illumination brightness.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-216.
The ALH are controlled between high
and low beams as follows to assure the
driver’s visibility without dazzling a
vehicle ahead or a vehicle approaching
in the opposite direction.
Glare-Free High Beam
This feature dims only the high-beam
light shone on the vehicle ahead.
The high beams will dim while driving
at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph)
or faster. When the vehicle speed is
less than about 30 km/h (19 mph),
the beams switch to the low beams.
NOTE
The headlight high-beam indicator
light turns on while the high beams are
on.
Wide-Range Low Beam
This feature extends the illumination
range of the light cast by the low
beams while driving at a speed less
than about 40 km/h (25 mph).
Highway Mode
This feature shifts the illumination
angle of the light cast by the headlights
upward while driving on highways.
The distance in which the ALH can
detect objects varies depending on the
surrounding conditions.
CAUTION
¾Do not modify the suspensions or
headlight units, or remove the
camera. Otherwise, the ALH may not
operate normally.
¾Do not rely excessively on the ALH
and drive the vehicle while paying
sufficient attention to safety. Switch
the headlights between the high
beams and low beams manually if
necessary.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the
ALH may not operate normally.
Manually switch between the high and
low beams according to the visibility,
and the road and traffic conditions.

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.
