i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety and driver
support systems which make use of a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and radar
sensors.
These systems consist of active safety and pre-crash safety systems.
Driver awareness support systems
• Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
• High-Beam Control system (HBC)
• Adaptive LED Headlights
• Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
• Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
• Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)

When Driving
For details, refer to Section 4, “Adaptive LED Headlights”.
Adaptive LED Headlights
The adaptive LED headlights are controlled between high and low beams as follows
to assure the driver’s visibility without dazzling a vehicle ahead or a vehicle
approaching in the opposite direction.
This feature dims only the high-beam light shone on a vehicle ahead.
Glare-free high beam
The high beams will dim while driving at a speed of 40 km/h or faster. When the
vehicle speed is less than 30 km/h, the beams switch to the low beams.
NOTE
The headlight high-beam indicator light turns on while the high beams are on.
This feature extends the illumination range of the light cast by the low beams while
driving at a speed of 40 km/h or slower.
Wide-range low beam
This feature shifts the illumination angle of the light cast by the headlights upward
while driving on highways.

Other details are described in the related text.
NOTE
In the following situations, the adaptive LED headlights may not operate as
expected.
• When there are sources of light in the area such as street lamps, illuminated
signboards, and traffic signals.
• When there are reflective objects in the surrounding area such as reflective
plates and signs.
• When visibility is reduced under rain, snow and foggy conditions.
• When driving on roads with sharp curves or undulations.
The system switches the headlights to the high beams after the ignition is switched
ON and the headlight switch is in the AUTO position.
To turn on the system
CAUTION
Do not rely completely on the adaptive LED headlight system and drive the
vehicle while paying sufficient attention to safety. Switch the headlights between
the high and low beams manually if necessary.

When Driving
14For details, refer to Section 4, “Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)”.
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to maintain
headway control according to the vehicle speed using a radar sensor to detect the
distance to a vehicle ahead, and by presetting the vehicle speed between 30 km/h
(19 mph) and 145 km/h (90 mph), the driver is freed from having to constantly use
the accelerator or brake pedals.
Use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system on expressways and other
highways which do not require a lot of repeated acceleration and deceleration.
Do not rely completely on the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
and always drive carefully:
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system has limitations in its ability to
detect vehicles ahead depending on the weather and road conditions.
Additionally, the system may be unable to decelerate sufficiently to avoid
hitting the vehicle ahead if the vehicle ahead applies the brakes suddenly or
another vehicle cuts into the driving lane, which could result in an accident.
Check the safety of the surroundings and pay sufficient attention to the
distance between your vehicle and the vehicles travelling in front and behind.
WARNING
Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system in the
following locations. Otherwise, it could lead to an accident:
• Roads with sharp curves, heavy traffic, or roads requiring repeated and
frequent acceleration.
• When entering expressway interchanges and service areas.
• Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads.
• Long descending slopes. Additionally, if your vehicle starts closing in on the vehicle ahead because, for
example, the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, a warning sound and a warning
indication in the display are activated simultaneously to alert you to maintain a
sufficient distance between the vehicles.
