2019 MAZDA MODEL CX-5 SKYACTIV-D warning

Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure
Warning System (LDWS)
*
The LAS & LDWS alerts the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane and it
provides steering assistance to help the driver stay within the vehicle lanes.
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects the white lines (yellow lines) of the vehicle
lane in which the vehicle is traveling and if the system determines that the vehicle may
deviate from its lane, it operates the electric power steering to assist the driver's steering
operation. The system also alerts the driver by activating a lane departure warning sound,
vibrating the steering wheel, and indicating an alert in the display. Use the system when you
drive the vehicle on roads with white (yello w) lines such as expressways and highways.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) on page 4-205.

Do not rely completely on the LAS & LDWS:
 The LAS & LDWS is not an automatic driving system. In addition, the system is not designed
to compensate for a driver's lack of caution, and over-reliance on the system could lead to
an accident.
 The detection ability of the LAS & LDWS is limited. Always stay on course using the steering
wheel and drive with care.

NOTE
The LAS & LDWS indication is gray when
the system detects only a white (yellow)
line on either the left or right, and the
indication changes to white when the
system detects white (yellow) lines on both
the left and right sides.

(Gray) (White)
The LAS & LDWS goes on stand-by
status in the following cases:
The system cannot detect white (yellow)
lane lines.
The vehicle speed is less than about 60
km/h (37 mph).
The ABS/TCS is operating.
The TCS is turned off.
(If the TCS is turned off while the
system is operational, a warning beep is
heard and the system goes on standby.)
The vehicle is making a sharp curve.
The brake pedal is depressed.
The steering wheel is operated abruptly.
The width of a lane is excessively
narrow or wide.
NOTE
The LAS & LDWS does not operate until
the system detects white (yellow) lane
lines on either the left or right.
When the system detects a white
(yellow) lane line on one side only, the
system will not operate the steering
wheel operation assist and the warning
for the lane line on the side that is not
being detected. The steering wheel
operation assist and the warning is only
for a lane deviation on the side that is
being detected.
If the driver takes his or her hands off
the steering wheel (not holding the
steering wheel), the warning sound is
activated and an alert is indicated in the
multi-information display or the active
driving display.

Active Driving Display Multi-information Display
If the steering wheel is held lightly, or
depending on the road conditions, the
system may detect that you have
released the steering wheel (not holding
the steering wheel) even if you are
holding it, and display a message in the
multi-information display or the active
driving display.
The timing at which the lane departure
warning is activated and the steering
wheel operation assist is performed
varies.

▼Lane Departure Warning
If the system determines that the vehicle ma
y deviate from its lane, the lane departure
warning (beep sound, rumble sound
*1, or steering wheel vibration) is activated and the
direction in which the system determines that the vehicle may deviate is indicated in the
multi-information display and the active driving display.
If the system determines that the vehicle may de viate from its lane, the color of the lane line
on the side being detected by the system changes from white to amber, and flashes.

NOTE
If you have set the lane departure warning sound to the beep sound/rumble sound*1
setting, the warning sound may not be heard depending on the surrounding noise
conditions.
If you have set the lane departure warning system to the steering wheel vibrations setting,
the vibration may not be felt depending on the road surface conditions.
When the setting for the steering operation assist is changed to operational, the warnings
can be set to activate/not activate. (When the setting for the steering operation assist is
changed to non-operational, the warnings cannot be set to not activate.)
Refer to Setting Change (Personalization Features) on page 9-12.
The LAS & LDWS can be changed to the following settings regardless of whether the
steering operation assist has been set to operational/non-operational. Always check the
setting status when driving the vehicle and make setting changes if necessary.
Refer to Setting Change (Persona lization Features) on page 9-12.
Steering wheel vibration: Strong/weak
Warning sound volume
Types of warnings (steering wheel vibration/beep sound/rumble sound*1)
*1 A rumble strip is a series of grooves in the road pavement surface positioned at specific
intervals, and when the vehicle passes over it a vibration and rumble sound is produced
which alerts the driver that the vehicle is departing from the lane.

Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)*
The Advanced SCBS alerts the driver of a possible collision using the display and a warning
sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects a vehicle ahead or pedestrian and
determines that a collision with the object is unavoidable while the vehicle is driven at a
vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph) if the object is a vehicle ahead and about
10 to 80 km/h (6.2 to 50 mph) if the object is a pedestrian. In addition, the system reduces
damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (Advanced SCBS brake)
when the system determines that a collision is unavoidable. In addition, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal, the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist
(Advanced SCBS brake assist))

Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC)
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the Advanced SCBS system:
 The Advanced SCBS system is only designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision.
Over reliance on the system leading to the accelerator pedal or brake pedal being
mistakenly operated could result in an accident.
 The Advanced SCBS system operates in response to a vehicle ahead or a pedestrian. The
system does not operate in response to obstru ctions such as a wall, 2-wheeled vehicles, or
animals.
