Drive Selection*
▼Drive Selection
Drive selection is a system to switch
the vehicle's drive mode. When the
sport mode is selected, vehicle's
response against accelerator operation
is enhanced. This provides additional
quick acceleration which may be
needed to safely make maneuvers such
as lane changes, merging onto
freeways, or passing other vehicles.
CAUTION
Do not use the sport mode when
driving on slippery roads such as wet
or snow-covered roads. It may cause
tire slipping.
NOTE
When the sport mode is selected,
driving at higher engine speeds
increases and it may increase fuel
consumption. Mazda recommends
that you cancel the sport mode on
normal driving.
Drive mode cannot be switched in
the following conditions:
ABS/TCS/DSC is operatingCruise control* is operating.The Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) system* is operating.The Mazda Radar Cruise Control
with Stop & Go function (MRCC
with Stop & Go function) System
*
is operating.Tra ffi c
Jam Assist (TJA) is operating.Steering wheel is being operated
abruptly
▼Drive Selection Switch
Press the drive selection switch forward
(SPORT) to select the sport mode.
Pull the drive selection switch back
(OFF) to cancel the sport mode.

NOTE
In the following cases, the drive
selection is canceled.
The ignition is switched OFF.Mazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function) System/cruise
control is set.
Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) is set.Depending on the driving conditions
when sport mode is selected, the
vehicle may perform shift-down or
slightly accelerate.

i-ACTIVSENSE*
▼i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term
covering a series
of advanced safety
and driver support systems which
make use of cameras and sensors. The
systems consist of active safety and
pre-crash safety systems.
These systems are designed to assist
the driver in safer driving by reducing
the load on the driver and helping to
avert collisions or reduce their severity.
However, because each system has its
limitations, always drive carefully and
do not rely solely on the systems.
▼ Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer
driving by helping the driver to
recognize potential hazards and avert
accidents.

▼Camera and Sensors
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
detects lane indications and recognizes
headlights, taillights and city lights
during nighttime driving. In addition, it
also detects the vehicle ahead,
pedestrians, or obstructions. The
following systems use the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
High Beam Control system (HBC)Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)
Tra ffi c
Sign Recognition System (TSR)Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)Driver Attention Alert (DAA)Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
Mazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function)
Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)Traffic Jam Assist (TJA)Smart Brake Support (SBS) forward
drive detection
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is
installed at the top of the windshield
near the rearview mirror.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-211.
Front radar sensor
The front radar sensor detects radio
waves reflected off a vehicle ahead
sent from the radar sensor. The
following systems use the front radar
sensor.
Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
Mazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function)
Traffic Jam Assist (TJA)Smart Brake Support (SBS) forward
drive detection
The front radar sensor is mounted
behind the radiator grille.
Refer to Front Radar Sensor on page
4-215.
Front side radar sensor
The front side radar sensors detects
radio waves reflected off a vehicle
ahead sent from the radar sensor. The
following systems use the front side
radar sensor.
Front Cross Tra ffi c Alert (FCTA)
The front side radar sensors are
installed inside the front bumper, one
on the left side and one on the right
side.
