When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
CAUTION
Do not modify the suspension. If the vehicle height or the damping force of the
suspensions is changed, the LDWS may not operate correctly.
NOTE
  If your vehicle deviates from its traf¿ c lane, the LDWS operates (warning sound and
indicator light). Steer the vehicle adequately to drive the vehicle to the centre of the
lane.
  When the direction indicator lever is operated for a lane change, the LDWS warning
is automatically cancelled. The LDWS warning becomes operable when the direction
indicator lever is returned and the system detects the white or yellow lines.
  If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white or yellow line, the system determines that the driver is
making a lane change and the LDWS warning is automatically cancelled.
  The LDWS may not operate during the period immediately after the vehicle has
deviated from its lane and the LDWS has operated, or the vehicle deviates from its
lane repeatedly within a short period of time.
  The LDWS does not operate if it does not detect the white or yellow lines of the traf¿ c
lane.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
  In the following cases, the activation of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
lights and the warning beep may not occur or they may be delayed.
 


 A vehicle makes a lane change from a driving lane two lanes over to an adjacent
lane.
 


 Driving on steep slopes.



 Crossing the summit of a hill or mountain pass.



 The turning radius is small (making a sharp turn, turning at intersections).



 When there is a difference in the height between your driving lane and the adjacent
lane.
 


 Directly after pressing the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) switch and the system
becomes operable.
 
 If the road width is extremely narrow, vehicles two lanes over may be detected.
The detection area of the radar sensors (rear) is set according to the road width of
expressways.
  The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning lights may turn on in reaction to stationary
objects on the road or the roadside such as guardrails, tunnels, sidewalls, and parked
vehicles.
Objects such as guardrails and concrete walls
running alongside the vehicle.Places where the width between guardrails or
walls on each side of the vehicle narrows.
The walls at the entrance and exits of tunnels,
turnouts.
  A Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning light may À ash or the warning beep may be
activated several times when making a turn at a city intersection.
  Turn off the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) while pulling a trailer or while an accessory
such as a bicycle carrier is installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the radar’s
radio waves will be blocked causing the system to not operate normally.

Parking Sensor System
When Warning Beep is Activated
The system noti¿ es the driver of an abnormality by activating the beep sound.
Beep How to check
The beep sound is not heard. The system may have a malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected at an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as possible.
When the engine switch is
turned ON or if the parking
sensor detects a problem while
driving, the intermittent sound
of the buzzer is heard 1—4
times.
*1
Remove any foreign material from the sensor area. If the system does not
recover, have the vehicle inspected at an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Interior Features
Audio System
Signals from an FM transmitter are similar
to beams of light because they do not
bend around corners, but they do reÀ ect.
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot
travel beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM
stations cannot be received at the great
distances possible with AM reception.
AM wave FM wave
FM wave
100—200 km (60—120 miles) Ionosphere
Atmospheric conditions can also affect
FM reception. High humidity will cause
poor reception. However, cloudy days may
provide better reception than clear days.
Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be reÀ ected by
obstructions, it is possible to receive both
the direct signal and the reÀ ected signal
at the same time. This causes a slight
delay in reception and may be heard as a
broken sound or a distortion. This problem
may also be encountered when in close
proximity to the transmitter.
Reflected wave
Direct
Flutter/Skip noise
Signals from an FM transmitter move in
straight lines and become weak in valleys
between tall buildings, mountains, and
other obstacles. When a vehicle passes
through such an area, the reception
conditions may change suddenly, resulting
in annoying noise.
Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast signals
become weak because of distance from the
transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas
is characterised by sound breakup.

 The CD player ejects the CD if the CD
is inserted upside down. Also dirty and/
or defective CDs may be ejected.
 


 Do not insert cleaning discs in the CD
player.
 


 Do not insert any disc with a peel-off
seal af¿ xed to it.




 This unit may not be able to play certain
CD-R/CD-RWs made using a computer
or music CD recorder due to disc
characteristics, scratches, smudges, dirt,
etc., or due to dust or condensation on
the lens inside the unit.
 


 Storing CDs in the vehicle exposed to
direct sunlight or high temperature may
damage the CD-R/CD-RWs, and make
them unplayable.
 


 CD-R/CD-RW exceeding 700 MB
cannot be played.
 


 This unit may not be able to play certain
discs made using a computer due to the
application (writing software) setting

as titles, recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW
may not be displayed when musical data
(CD-DA) is playing.
 


 The period from when a CD-RW is
inserted to when it begins playing is
longer than a normal CD or CD-R.
 


 Completely read the instruction manual
and cautions for CD-R/CD-RWs.
 


 Do not use discs with cellophane tape
adhering, partially peeled off labels,
or adhesive material exuding from the
edges of the CD label. Also, do not use
discs with a commercially-available
CD-R label af¿ xed. The disc may not
eject resulting in a malfunction.
Operating Tips for MP3
MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3,
which is standardised voice compression
established by the ISO
*1 working group
(MPEG).
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be
compressed to approximately a tenth of
the source data size.
This unit plays ¿ les with the extension
(.mp3) as MP3 ¿ les.
*1 International Organisation for
Standardisation
CAUTION
Do not use an audio ¿ le extension on
¿ les other than audio ¿ les. In addition,
do not change the audio ¿ le extension.
Otherwise, the unit will not recognise
the¿ le correctly resulting in noise or a
malfunction.
