When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
  Under the following conditions,
the radar sensor (front) may not
be able to detect vehicles ahead
or obstructions correctly and each
system may not operate normally.
 


 The rear surface of a vehicle
ahead does not refl ect radio waves
effectively, such as an unloaded
trailer or an automobile with a
loading platform covered by a
soft top, vehicles with a hard
plastic tailgate, and round-shaped
vehicles.
 


 Vehicles ahead with low vehicle
height and thus less area for
refl ecting radio waves.




 Visibility is reduced due to a
vehicle ahead casting off water,
snow, or sand from its tyres and
onto your windscreen.
 


 The luggage compartment is
loaded with heavy objects or the
rear passenger seats are occupied.
 


 Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front
surface of the front emblem.
 


 During inclement weather such as
rain, snow, or sand storms.
 


 When driving near facilities or
objects emitting strong radio
waves.
NOTE
  Under the following conditions,
the radar sensor (front) may not
be able to detect vehicles ahead or
obstructions.
 


 The beginning and end of a curve.



 Roads with continuous curves.



 Narrow lane roads due to road
construction or lane closures.
 


 The vehicle ahead enters the radar
sensor's blind spot.
 


 The vehicle ahead is running
abnormally due to accident or
vehicle damage.
 


 Roads with repeated up and down
slopes
 


 Driving on poor roads or unpaved
roads.
 


 The distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead is extremely
short.
 


 A vehicle suddenly comes close
such as by cutting into the lane.


 To prevent incorrect operation of
the system, use tyres of the same
specifi ed size, manufacturer, brand,
and tread pattern on all four wheels.
In addition, do not use tyres with
signifi cantly different wear patterns
or tyre pressures on the same vehicle
(Including the temporary spare tyre).
  If the battery power is weak, the
system may not operate correctly.
  When driving on roads with little
traffi c and few vehicles ahead or
obstructions for the radar sensor to
detect, Smart Brake Support/Smart
City Brake Support (SBS/SCBS)
Warning Light (amber) temporarily
illuminates, however, this does not
indicate a problem.

*Some models.4–154
When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
Laser Sensor (Front) *
Your vehicle is equipped with a laser sensor (front). The laser sensor (front) is positioned
near the rearview mirror and used by the following systems.
 


 Smart Brake Support (SBS)



 Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
Laser sensor (front)
CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to assure correct operation of the system.


 Keep the windscreen clean at all times. 
 Do not apply stickers to the surface of the windscreen (including transparent stickers). 
 If cracks or damage caused by fl ying gravel or debris is visible near the laser sensor
(front), stop using the system immediately and have your vehicle inspected by an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
 See the next page on how to turn off the system. Refer to Personalisation Features on
page 9-13 .
  Do not apply a coating agent to the windscreen. 
 When replacing the windscreen wipers or windscreen, consult an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
  Never remove the sensor. 
 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.

 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.

Parking Sensor System
NOTE
  Do not install any accessories within the detection ranges of the sensors. It may affect
the system operation.
  Depending on the type of obstruction and the surrounding conditions, the detection
range of a sensor may narrow, or the sensors may not be able to detect obstructions.
  The system may not operate normally under the following conditions:




 Mud, ice, or snow is adhering to the sensor area (Returns to normal operation when
removed).
 


 The sensor area is frozen (Returns to normal operation when the ice is thawed).



 The sensor is covered by a hand.



 The sensor is excessively shocked.



 The vehicle is excessively tilted.



 Under extremely hot or cold weather conditions.



 The vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, or grass covered roads.



 Anything which generates ultrasound is near the vehicle, such as another vehicle's
horn, the engine sound of a motorcycle, the air brake sound of a large-sized vehicle,
or another vehicle's sensors.
 


 The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or in road conditions causing water-splash.



 A commercially-available wing pole or an aerial for a radio transmitter is installed to
the vehicle.
 


 The vehicle is moving towards a tall or square curbstone.



 An obstruction is too close to the sensor. 

 Obstructions under the bumper may not be detected. Obstructions that are lower than
the bumper or thin which may have been initially detected but are no longer detected
as the vehicle approaches more closely.
  The following types of obstructions may not be detected:




 Thin objects such as wire or rope



 Things which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snow



 Angular shaped objects



 Very tall objects, and those which are wide at the top



 Small, short objects 

 Always have the system inspected at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer if any shock is applied to the bumpers, even in a minor accident. If the
sensors are deviated, they cannot detect obstructions.
  The system may have a malfunction if the beep does not operate. Consult an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
  The beeper which indicates a system malfunction may not be heard if the ambient
temperature is extremely cold, or mud, ice, or snow adheres to the sensor area.
Remove any foreign material from the sensor area.
  When installing a trailer hitch, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
