1. Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
determines the conditions ahead of
the vehicle while traveling at night and
detects traffic lanes. The distance in
which the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) can detect objects varies
depending on the surrounding
conditions.
WARNING
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is
changed, the system will not be able to
correctly detect vehicles ahead. This
will result in the system not operating
normally or mistakenly operating,
which could cause a serious accident.
CAUTION
Do not apply accessories, stickers or
film to the windshield near the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
If the area in front of the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens is
obstructed, it will cause the system
to not operate correctly.
Consequently, each system may not
operate normally which could lead
to an unexpected accident.
Do not disassemble or modify the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
Disassembly or
modification of the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) will
cause a malfunction or mistaken
operation. Consequently, each
system may not operate normally
which could lead to an unexpected
accident.
Heed the following cautions to
assure the correct operation of the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
Be careful not to scratch the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
lens or allow it to get dirty.

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.
Front 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 6-47.
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 Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
NOTE
The detection ability of the front side
radar sensor has limitations. In the
following cases, the detection ability
may lower and the system may not
operate normally.
The front bumper near the front
side radar sensor has become
deformed.
Snow, ice or mud adheres to the
front side radar sensor on the front
bumper.
Under bad weather conditions
such as rain, snow and fog.
Under the following conditions, the
front side radar sensor cannot detect
target objects or it may be difficult to
detect them.
Small motorcycles, bicycles,
pedestrians, animals, shopping
carts, and stationary objects on a
road or a road side.
Vehicle shapes which do not reflect radar waves well such as
empty trailers with a low vehicle
height and sports cars.
Vehicles 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
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
For repairs or replacement of the
front side radar sensor, or bumper
repairs, paintwork, and replacement
near the radar sensors, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

To prevent misunderstood voice commands, be aware of the following points:
Connect your mobile phone to Bluetooth® before operating the mobile phone
using voice recognition.
After pressing the talk/pick-up button, wait for the beep before speaking a
command.
Speaking in a slightly louder voice will improve voice recognition, but an
excessively loud voice is unnecessary. Try to speak in a slightly louder voice than
when talking to other passengers in the vehicle.
You do not need to speak slowly. Speak at a normal speed.When calling a person in the device's phone book, the recognition rate increases
the longer the name is. Errors may oc cur with names that are short such as
“Mama”, “Home”, or “Wife”.
Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.Voice commands other than those specified , cannot be recognized. Speak in the
wording specified by the voice commands.
It is not necessary to face the microphone or approach it. Speak the voice
commands while maintaining a safe driving position.
Close the windows and the moonroof* to reduce loud noises from outside the
vehicle and to prevent the airflow of the air-conditioning system from being a
disturbance when using Bluetooth
® Hands-Free.Make sure that the air flow from the air conditioner is not blowing on the
microphone.
If the voice recognition is poor with th e guidance volume set to high, set the
Barge-In to OFF.
