The front radar sensor includes a
function for detecting soiling of the
radar sensor's front surface and
informing the driver, however,
depending on the conditions, it may
require time to detect or it may not
detect plastic shopping bags, ice or
snow. If this occurs, the system may
not operate correctly, therefore
always keep the front radar sensor
clean.
If “Safety and Driver Support Systems
Temporarily Disabled. Front Radar
Obscured. Drive Safely” is displayed
on the multi-information display of
the instrument cluster, clean the area
around the front radar sensor.
Do not install a grille guard.
If the front part of the vehicle has
been damaged in a vehicle accident,
the position of the front radar sensor
may have moved. Stop the system
immediately and always have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Do not use the front bumper to push
other vehicles or obstructions such
as when pulling out of a parking
space. Otherwise, the front radar
sensor could be hit and its position
deviated.
For repairs, replacement or paint
work around the front radar sensor,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Always use tires for all wheels that
are of the speci fied size, and the
same manufacturer, brand, and tread
pattern. In addition, do not use tires
with signi ficantly di fferent wear
patterns on the same vehicle as the
system may not operate normally.
NOTE
If the lead-acid battery power is
weak, the system may not operate
correctly.
When driving on roads with little tra ffic and few vehicles ahead or
obstructions for the front radar
sensor to detect, “Safety and Driver
Support Systems Temporarily
Disabled. Front Radar Obscured.
Drive Safely” may be temporarily
displayed, however, this does not
indicate a problem.
The radar sensors are regulated by
the relevant radio wave laws of the
country in which the vehicle is
driven. If the vehicle is driven
abroad, authorization from the
country in which the vehicle is driven
may be required.
When the vehicle is driven on roads in
which there is an elevated road on one
side, the front radar sensor function
may be restricted temporarily.
When any of the following conditions
is met, the front radar sensor may not
be able to detect vehicles ahead or
obstructions correctly and each system
may not operate normally.
The rear surface of a vehicle ahead
does not re flect radio waves
e ff ectively (such as an unloaded
trailer, a vehicle with a loading
platform covered by a soft top, a
vehicle with a hard plastic liftgate,
and a round-shaped vehicle).
A vehicle ahead has limited areas
that can re flect radio waves (such as
a low pro file vehicle).
Under bad weather conditions (rain,
fog, and snow).
Front visibility is reduced (due to a
vehicle ahead casting o ff water,
snow, or sand).
Foreign matter (ice, snow, or dirt) is

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.
