ECO mode MAZDA MODEL CX-5 2017 - RHD (UK, Australia) (in English) Workshop Manual

High Beam Control System (HBC)*
The HBC determines the conditions in front of the vehicle using the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) while driving in darkness to automatically switch the headlights between
high and low beams.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-42.
While driving the vehicle at a speed of about 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, the headlights are
switched to high beams when there are no vehicles ahead or appr oaching in the opposite
direction.
The system switches the headlights to low beams when one of the following occurs:
•The system detects a vehicle or the headlights/lights of a vehicle approaching in the
opposite direction.
•The vehicle is driven on roads lin ed with streetlamps or on roads in well-lit cities and
towns.
•The vehicle is driven at less than about 20 km/h (12 mph).
Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC)
The recognition distance of the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
varies according to the
surrounding conditions.
The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning Lights on page 4-42.
CAUTION

Do not adjust the vehicle he ight, modify the headlight units, or remove the camera,
otherwise the system will not operate normally.
 Do not rely excessively on the HBC and drive the vehicle while paying
sufficient attention to
safety. Switch the headlights between th e high beams and low beams manually if
necessary.

Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)*
The TSR helps prevent the driver from overlooking traffic signs , and provides support for
safer driving by displaying traffic signs on the active driving display which are recognised
by the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or recorded in the navigation system while the
vehicle is driven.
The TSR displays the speed limit (including auxiliary signs) , do not enter, and passing
prohibited signs (windscreen type).
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the active drivi ng display while
the vehicle is driven, the system notifies the driver using the indication in the active driving
display and a warning sound.
NOTE
•The TSR is not supported in some countries or regions. For information concerning the
supported countries or regions, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
•The TSR operates only if the navigation system SD card (Mazda genuine) is inserted in
the SD card slot. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer for details.

Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)*
The DRSS measures the distance between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar
sensor (front) while the vehicle speed is about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster, and if your
vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely than what is ap propriate for maintaining
distance between the vehicles according to the vehicle speed, a notification in the active
driving display is indicated to advise you to keep a safe dista nce from the vehicle ahead.
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the DRSS and always drive carefully:
The DRSS provides advice for safer driving and
notifies the driver of a recommended, safer
distance to maintain with a vehicle ahead. The ability to detect a vehicle ahead is limited
depending on the type of vehicle ahead, the weather conditions, and the traffic conditions.
Therefore, if the accelerator and brake pedals ar e not operated correctly it could lead to an
accident. Always verify the safety of the su rrounding area and depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal while keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
NOTE
•The DRSS operates when all of the following conditions are met:
•The ignition is switched ON.
•The DRSS is on.
•The selector lever is in a position other than reverse (R).
•The vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19 mph or faster).
•The objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles.
•The DRSS may also operate in the presence of motorcycles and bicycles.
•The DRSS may not operate normally under the following conditions:
•The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) has a malfunction.
•The vehicle ahead is travelling at an extremely slow speed.
•The system does not operate with the following objects:
•Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.
•Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
▼Indication on Display
The DRSS operation status is indi
cated in the active driving display or multi-information
display. Regarding malfunctions, check the vehicle conditions o r have it inspected by an
expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer acco rding to the content of
the displayed message.

▼ Close Proximity Warning
If your vehicle rapidly closes in
on the vehicle ahead because the vehicle ahead applies the
brakes suddenly while you are travelling in headway control, th e warning sound activates
and the brake warning is indicated in the display. Always verif y the safety of the
surrounding area and depress the brake pedal while keeping a sa fer distance from the
vehicle ahead. Additionally, keep a safer distance from the veh icles behind you.

Resume driving information
If you do not resume driving within a few seconds after the vehicle ahead starts moving, the
multi-information display vehicl e-ahead indication flashes to urge the driver to resume
driving.
▼ Cruise Control Function
While this function is operating, the
headway control operation is cancelled
and only the cruise control function
operates.
The vehicle speed can be set more than
about 25 km/h (16 mph).
Use the cruise c
ontrol function on
expressways and other highways which do
not require a lot of repeated acceleration
and deceleration.
WA R N I N G
Do not use the cruise control function in
the following locations:
Otherwise, it could lead to an accident.
 Roads with sharp curves and where
vehicle
traffic is heavy and there is
insufficient space between vehicles.
(Driving under these conditions using the
cruise control function is not possible)
 Steep down slopes (Set speed may be
exceeded because sufficient engine
braking cannot be applied)
 Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound
roads (Tyres could spin causing you to
lose vehicle control)
Always drive carefully:
The warnings and brake control will not
operate after the headway control function
is cancelled and the system is switched to
only the cruise control function. Depress
the brake pedal to decelerate according to
the surrounding conditions while keeping a
safer distance from the vehicle ahead and
always driving carefully.
Switching to cruise control function

control function, the indicator and
multi-information disp lay notify the driver
as follows:
•The MRCC with Stop & Go function set
indication (green) or the MRCC with
