Forward Sensing Camera(FSC)
*
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
determines the conditions ahead of
the vehicle and detects the white
(yellow) lines on the traffic lane.
1. Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The following systems utilize the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
High Beam Control System (HBC)Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)
Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)Driver Attention Alert (DAA)Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
Cruising & Traffic Support (CTS)Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK)Smart Brake Support (SBS) forward
drive detection
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
Heed the following cautions to operate
the system correctly.
Do not hit or apply strong force to
the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
or the area around it. If the Forward

such as cotton or snow.
Target object has an angular shape.Target object is tall and wide at the
upper part.
Target object height is low.There are multiple target objects.Target objects are too close to the
sensors.
Ice, snow, or mud is adhering to
the sensor area.

is applied to the sensor area.
The sensor areas are frozen.You cover the sensor with your
hand.
The area around the sensor has
received a strong impact.
The vehicle is excessively tilted.Under extremely hot or cold
weather.

If there is a structure on the road or an obstruction at a low height off the ground
in front of the vehicle, the system may recognize it as a vehicle ahead.
Acceleration and deceleration by accelerator pedal operation takes priority while
traveling at a constant speed or in headway control. When the accelerator pedal is
released, the vehicle returns to driving at a constant speed or headway control at

during recognition, the driver will be
recognized as a guest. If the vehicle
power is switched ON without
opening/closing the door even once,
the information of the previously
recognized driver is taken over.
If the recognition is difficult,
reprogram the data. Two types of
faces can be programmed, such as
when wearing glasses or contact
lenses.
If people with similar faces are
programmed, they may be
recognized incorrectly.
