When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
 


y In the following cases, the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cannot detect target objects
correctly, and each system may be unable to operate normally.
 


y The height of the vehicle ahead is low.



y You drive your vehicle at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.



y Headlights are not turned on during the night or when going through a tunnel.




y In the following cases, the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) may not be able to detect
target objects correctly.
 


y When driving next to walls with no patterning (including fences and longitudinally
striped walls).
 


y The taillights of the vehicle ahead are turned off.



y A vehicle is outside the illumination range of the headlights.



y The vehicle is making a sharp curve, or ascending or descending a steep slope.



y Entering or exiting a tunnel.



y Heavy luggage is loaded causing the vehicle to tilt.



y Strong light is shone at the front of the vehicle (back light or high-beam light from on-
coming vehicles).
 


y There are many light emitters on the vehicle ahead.



y When the vehicle ahead is not equipped with taillights or the taillights are turned off at
nighttime.
 


y The vehicle ahead has a special shape.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
 


y 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.
 


y 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.
 


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




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


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


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


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


y When driving near facilities or
objects emitting strong radio waves.
 


y Under the following conditions, the
radar sensor (front) may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead or obstructions.
 


y The beginning and end of a curve.



y Roads with continuous curves.



y Narrow lane roads due to road
construction or lane closures.
 


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


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


y Roads with repeated up and down
slopes
 


y Driving on poor roads or unpaved
roads.
 


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


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


y To prevent incorrect operation of the
system, use tires of the same specifi ed
size, manufacturer, brand, and tread
pattern on all four wheels. In addition,
do not use tires with signifi cantly
different wear patterns or tire pressures
on the same vehicle (Including the
temporary spare tire).
 


y If the battery power is weak, the system
may not operate correctly.
 


y 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.

Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
NOTE
 


y Always check tire pressure when tires
are cold.
 


y Warm tires normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not release
air from warm tires to adjust the
pressure.
 


y Underinfl ation can cause reduced fuel
economy, uneven and accelerated tire
wear, and poor sealing of the tire bead,
which will deform the wheel and cause
separation of tire from rim.
 


y Overinfl ation can produce a harsh ride,
uneven and accelerated tire wear, and a
greater possibility of damage from road
hazards.
  Keep your tire pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs infl ating,
have it inspected.
Tire Rotation
WARNING
Rotate tires periodically:
Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining
good performance in handling and
braking, rotate the tires every 12,000
km (7,500 miles). However Mazda
recommends to rotate every 8,000 km
(5,000 miles) to help increase tire life
and distribute wear more evenly.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance on
page 6-4 .
During rotation, inspect them for correct
balance.
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY)
spare tire in rotation.Forward
Also, inspect them for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:
 


y Incorrect tire pressure



y Improper wheel alignment



y Out-of-balance wheel



y Severe braking
After rotation, infl ate all tire pressures to
specifi cation (page 9-8 ) and inspect the lug
nuts for tightness.
(With tire pressure monitoring system)
After adjusting the tire pressure,
initialization of the tire pressure
monitoring system is necessary to make
the system operate normally.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization on page 4-129 .
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial
tires that have an asymmetrical tread
pattern or studs only from front to rear,
not from side to side. Tire performance
will be reduced if rotated from side to
side.

Tire Maintenance
Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to wear abnormally. Here are
some important maintenance points:
Tire Infl ation Pressure
Inspect all tire pressure monthly (including the spare) when the tires are cold. Maintain
recommended pressures for the best ride, top handling, and minimum tire wear. Use the
pressures specifi ed on the vehicle tire information placard or tire label for optimum service.
Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) at the latest or sooner
if irregular wear develops. Mazda recommends to rotate every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) to
help increase tire life and distribute wear more evenly.
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY)
spare tire in rotation.Forward
Inspect the tires for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by one or a
combination of the following:
 


y Incorrect tire pressure



y Improper wheel alignment



y Out-of-balance wheel



y Severe braking
After rotation, infl ate all tire pressures to specifi cation (page 9-8 ) and inspect the lug nuts for
tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires that have an asymmetrical tread pattern or
studs only from front to rear, not from side to side. Tire performance will be weakened if
rotated from side to side.
