Do not hit or apply strong force to
the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
or the area around it. If the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) is severely hit
or if there are cracks or damage
caused by flying gravel or debris in
the area around it, stop using the
following systems and consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 HBC
 LDWS
 TSR
 DSA
 DAA
 MRCC with Stop & Go function
 TJ A
