How to Use the LaneDeparture Warning System (LDWS)
LDWS operates
The LDWS operates when all of the
following conditions are met.
The vehicle speed is about 64 km/h
(40 mph)or faster.
The system detects white (yellow)
lane lines.
The CTS steering assist function is
not operating.
The system determines that the
vehicle may depart from the lane.
When the LDWS is operating, a screen
display and a warning sound (steering
wheel vibration and warning sound)
notify the driver of the danger.
Instrument cluster
Active driving display
NOTE
The LDWS operates only on the side
that detects white lines (yellow
lines).
The forward sensing camera (FSC)
may not be able to detect target
objects correctly, and the LDWS may
not operate normally.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 5-127.
The LDWS warning type can be
changed using Mazda Connect.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
LDWS is temporarily canceled
If any of the following conditions is
met, the LDWS is canceled. In
addition, the LDWS is automatically
enabled when the condition changes
and the system is operable.
The turn signal lever is operated.The accelerator pedal is operated.The steering wheel is operated.The brake pedal is depressed.
Turning off the LDWS
There are 2 ways to turn off the LDWS.
Turn off the LDWS using Mazda
Connect.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
Turn off the LDWS using the
i-ACTIVSENSE OFF switch.

Distance & Speed Alert(DSA)
*
The DSA is a system in which the
screen display notifies the driver that
the distance between your vehicle and
a vehicle ahead is close.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the DSA.
The DSA may not be able to detect a
vehicle ahead depending on the type
of vehicle ahead and its conditions, the
weather conditions, and the road
conditions. In addition, the system is
not for maintaining the distance
between your vehicle and a vehicle
ahead. If you neglect to operate the
accelerator and brake pedals correctly,
it could lead to an accident.
Always check the surrounding
conditions and depress the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safe distance from a vehicle
ahead or a vehicle following behind
you.

Mazda Radar CruiseControl (MRCC)
*
MRCC is a system that reduces load on
the driver through constant speed and
headway control. The function
performs headway control to maintain
the distance with a vehicle ahead at a
constant preset speed without you
having to depress the accelerator or
brake pedal.
Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Mazda
Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the MRCC.
The MRCC may not be able to detect a
vehicle ahead depending on the type
of vehicle ahead and its conditions, the
weather conditions, and the road
conditions. Additionally, the system
might be unable to decelerate
sufficiently if the vehicle ahead applies
the brakes suddenly or another vehicle
cuts into your lane, which could result
in an accident.
Always check the surrounding
conditions and depress the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safe distance from a vehicle
ahead or a vehicle following behind
you.
Do not use the MRCC under the
following conditions. Otherwise, it
may result in an accident.
The vehicle is driven on roads other
than highways.
The vehicle is driven on roads with
sharp curves or with heavy traffic
where sufficient distances between
vehicles cannot be kept.
The vehicle is driven on roads where
acceleration and deceleration are
frequently repeated.
The vehicle is exiting the main lane
on an expressway to enter an
interchange, a rest area, or a parking
area.
