High Beam ControlSystem (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.
CAUTION
Do 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 distance in which the HBC can
detect objects varies depending on
the surrounding conditions.
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
may not be able to detect target
objects correctly, and the system may
not operate normally.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-71.
The system switches the headlights to
low beams when one of the following
occurs:
The vehicle is driven at less than
about 20 km/h (12 mph).
The system detects a vehicle or the
headlights/lights of a vehicle
approaching in the opposite
direction.
The vehicle is driven on roads lined
with streetlamps or on roads in
well-lit cities and towns.
The headlight high-beam indicator
light turns on while the high beams
are on.
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.
▼ To Operate the System
The HBC operates to switch the
headlights automatically between high
and low beams after the power switch
is switched ON and the headlight
switch is in the AUTO and low beam
position.
The HBC determines that it is dark
based on the brightness of the
surrounding area. At the same time,
the HBC indicator light (green) in the
instrument cluster illuminates.

NOTE
Operation of the HBC function can be
disabled.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.

Lane Departure Warning
System (LDWS)
*
▼Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)
The LDWS noti
fies the driver that the
vehicle might be deviating from its
lane.
The LDWS detects white (yellow) lines
using the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC). If your vehicle may be deviating
from its lane, the lane departure
warning noti fies the driver.

Use the LDWS when you drive the
vehicle on roads with white (yellow)
lines.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the LDWS
and always drive carefully:
 The LDWS is not designed to
compensate for a driver’s lack of
caution and relying too much on the
system could lead to an accident.
 The functions of the LDWS have
limitations. Always stay on course
using the steering wheel.
