Forward Sensing Camera
Forward Sensing Camera *
Your vehicle is equipped with a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). The Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) is positioned near the rearview mirror and used by the following systems.
 


y High Beam Control System (HBC)



y Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)

The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of the vehicle while
traveling at night and detects traffi c lanes. The distance in which the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) can detect objects varies depending on the surrounding conditions.

When Driving
Brake
Do not rely completely on the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system:
 


¾ The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is only designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision. Over reliance on the system leading to the accelerator pedal or
brake pedal being mistakenly operated could result in an accident.
 


¾ The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) is a system which operates in response to a
vehicle ahead. The system may not be able to detect or react to 2-wheeled vehicles or
pedestrians.
 


¾ The laser sensor for the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is installed near the
rearview mirror. To assure the correct operation of the Smart City Brake Support
(SCBS), heed the following cautions.
 

¾
 Do not apply stickers to the surface of the windshield near the laser sensor
(including transparent stickers). Otherwise, the laser sensor may not be able to
detect vehicles or obstructions ahead which could result in an accident.
 

¾
 Do not disassemble the laser sensor.


¾
 If cracks or damage caused by fl ying gravel or debris is visible near the laser sensor,
stop using the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system immediately and have your
vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer. If the vehicle continues to be
driven with cracks or scratch marks left on the windshield near the laser sensor, the
system may operate unnecessarily and cause an unexpected accident.
  Refer to Stopping The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation on page
4-78 .
 

¾
 When replacing the windshield wipers or windshield, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to correctly
detect vehicles or obstructions ahead. This will result in the Smart City Brake Support
(SCBS) system not operating normally or mistakenly operating, which could cause a
serious accident.

Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) when the vehicle is running on a chassis
roller or being towed:
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system to prevent mistaken operation when
the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed. See the next page on how to turn
off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS).
Refer to Stopping The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation on page 4-78 .

Laser Sensor Handling
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) laser sensor is installed at the top of the windshield
near the rearview mirror.
Always keep the surface of the windshield around the laser sensor clean to assure proper
operation of the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system.
WARNING
As there is the possibility of eye damage occurring from the laser, always heed the
following precautions:
 


¾ Never remove the sensor.



¾ A removed sensor will not meet the conditions for a class 1M laser under the IEC
60825-1 specifi cation and therefore eye safety cannot be assured.
 


¾ Do not peer into the sensor using optical instruments with a magnifi cation function
such as magnifying glasses, and microscopic and objective lenses within a distance of
100 mm (3.94 in) from the sensor.

Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
 


y The following conditions may affect the visibility of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
warning lights on the outside mirror, making it diffi cult to confi rm the illumination of the
lights:
 


y Ice or snow adheres to the surface of the outside mirrors.



y The door window glass is tinted.




y The radar sensors are equipped inside the rear bumper (page 4-114 ).



y Have the radar sensors inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer if any shock is applied
to the rear bumper, even in a minor accident. If the vehicle is driven with a damaged
radar sensor, the system may not operate properly resulting in an accident.
 


y For repairs or paintwork around the radar sensors, or replacement of the bumper,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 


y The radar sensors of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system may be regulated under
the radio wave related laws of the country where the vehicle is driven. The sensors in this
system are approved for use in the U.S.A. (including territories), Canada, and Mexico.
If a vehicle with a Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is driven in a country other
than the U.S.A., Canada, or Mexico, the system has to be turned off using the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system monitors the detection areas on both sides of
the vehicle to the rear and when there are vehicles in the detection area it notifi es the driver
by illuminating the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning light while the vehicle speed is
about 10 km/h (6.2 mph) or faster and driving forward.
If the turn signal lever is operated to the side the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
light is illuminated, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning light fl ashes and the system
warns the driver of the vehicle in the detection area using a BSM warning beep sound.

Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
BSM Warning Light
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system alerts the driver to the presence of another
vehicle in an adjacent lane using the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning lights and the
warning beep while the system is operational.
The warning light is equipped on the left and right door mirrors.
This warning light illuminates for a few seconds when the ignition is switched ON.
Driving forward
If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system detects a vehicle in the detection area while the
vehicle is driven at a speed of about 10 km/h (6.2mph) or more, the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning light illuminates on the side of the vehicle where the rear on-coming vehicle
is detected. A warning indicator light fl ashes when the turn signal lever is operated to the
side where the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning lights is illuminated to alert the
driver.
Reversing
If vehicles approach from the rear on the left and right, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
warning lights on both sides fl ash.
NOTE




y If ice or snow adhere to the outer mirror surface, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
warning light may not be visible.
 


y If the door window glass is tinted, it may affect the visibility of the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning light, making it diffi cult to confi rm the illumination of the light.
