Before Driving
Mirrors
Folding mirror
WARNING
Always return the outside mirrors to
the driving position before you start
driving:
Driving with the outside mirrors folded
in is dangerous. Your rear view will
be restricted, and you could have an
accident.
Fold the outside mirror rearward until it is
fl ush with the vehicle.
Rearview Mirror
WARNING
Do not stack cargo or objects higher

Camera and Sensors
Forward sensing camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of the vehicle while
traveling at night and detects traffi c lanes. The following systems also use the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
y High Beam Control system (HBC)
y Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
y Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed at the top of the windshield near the
rearview mirror.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) on page 4-112 .
Radar sensor (front)
The radar sensor (front) functions by detecting the radio waves refl ected off a vehicle ahead
sent from the radar sensor. The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).
y Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
y Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
y Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the radiator grille.
Refer to Radar Sensor (Front) on page 4-115 .
Laser sensor (front)
The laser sensor (front) emits a near-infrared laser beam and receives the beam refl ected
off the refl ective surface of a vehicle in front, and the detected beam is then used for
measurement. The following systems also use the laser sensor (front).
y Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
y Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The laser sensor (front) is installed at the top of the windshield near the rearview mirror.
Refer to Laser Sensor (Front) on page 4-118 .
Radar sensors (rear)
The radar sensors (rear) function by detecting the radio waves refl ected off a vehicle
approaching from the rear or an obstruction sent from the radar sensors. The following
systems also use the radar sensors (rear).
y Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
y Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA)
The radar sensors (rear) are installed inside the rear bumper, one each on the left and right
sides.
Refer to Radar Sensors (Rear) on page 4-120 .

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 two-wheeled vehicles
or pedestrians.
¾ The laser sensor (front) 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 (front)
(including transparent stickers). Otherwise, the laser sensor (front) may not be able
to detect vehicles ahead which could result in an accident.
¾
Do not apply coating agent to the windshield. Otherwise, the laser sensor (front)
may not be able to detect vehicles or obstructions in front which could result in an
accident.
¾
Do not disassemble the laser sensor (front) .
¾
If cracks or damage caused by fl ying gravel or debris is visible near the laser sensor
(front) , 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
(front) , the system may operate unnecessarily and cause an unexpected accident.
Refer to Stopping The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation on page
4-108 .
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 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 4-108 .

CAUTION
¾ Do not apply accessories, stickers or fi lm to the windshield near the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC).
If the area in front of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens is obstructed, it will cause
the system to not operate correctly. Consequently, each system may not operate normally
which could lead to an unexpected accident.
¾ Do not disassemble or modify the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
Disassembly or modifi cation of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) will cause a malfunction
or mistaken operation. Consequently, each system may not operate normally which could
lead to an unexpected accident.
¾ Heed the following cautions to assure the correct operation of the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC).
¾ The direction of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) has been fi nely adjusted, therefore
do not change the installation position or remove the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
¾ Be careful not to scratch the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens or allow it to get dirty.
¾ Do not remove the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cover.
¾ Do not place objects on the dashboard which refl ect light.
¾ Always keep the windshield glass around the camera clean by removing dirt or fogging.
Use the windshield defroster to remove fogging on the windshield.
¾ Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer regarding cleaning the interior side of the
windshield around the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
¾ Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer before performing repairs around the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
¾ The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed to the windshield. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer for windshield repair and replacement.
¾ When performing repairs around the rearview mirror, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
¾ Do not hit or apply strong force to the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or the area around
it. If strong force is applied, stop using the Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), the
High Beam Control System (HBC), and the Smart Brake Support (SBS) and consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
¾ The direction in which the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is pointed has been fi nely
adjusted. Do not change the installation position of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
or remove it. Otherwise, it could result in damage or malfunction.

CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to assure correct operation of the system.
¾ Keep the windshield clean at all times.
¾ Do not apply stickers to the surface of the windshield (including transparent stickers).
¾ If cracks or damage caused by fl ying gravel or debris is visible near the laser sensor

page 9-10 .
¾ Do not apply a coating agent to the windshield.
¾ When replacing the windshield wipers or windshield, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
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.
