When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) may not operate
normally. Manually switch between the high and low beams according to the visibility,
and the road and traf¿ c conditions.


 When there are other sources of light in the area such as street lamps, illuminated
signboards, and traf¿ c signals.

 When there are reÀ ective objects in the surrounding area such as reÀ ective plates and
signs.
  When visibility is reduced under rain, snow and foggy conditions. 
 When driving on roads with sharp curves or undulations. 
 When the headlights/rear lamps of vehicles ahead or in the opposite lane are dim or not
illuminated.
  When there is insuf¿ cient darkness such as at dawn or dusk. 
 When the luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger
seats are occupied.
  When visibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead spraying water from its tyres onto
your windscreen.
To Operate the System
The system switches the headlights to the
high beams after the ignition is switched
ON and the headlight switch is in the

position. The Adaptive LED Headlights
(ALH) indicator light (green) in the
instrument cluster turns on simultaneously.


The Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
determine that it is nighttime based on the
brightness of the surrounding area.
The system cancels operation when the
headlight switch is turned to a position
other than
, the headlights are
manually switched to low beams, or the
high beams are À ashed on and off.
NOTE
The system can be changed so that the
Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) do not
operate.
Refer to Personalisation Features on
page 9-13 .
Manual Switching
Switching to low beams
Shift the lever to the low beam position.
The Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
indicator light (green) turns off.
Switching to high beams

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
  The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is
deliberately performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
  The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following
conditions.
 


 The engine is running.



 The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) warning light (amber) does not illuminate.



 The vehicle speed is between about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph).



 The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.



 The DSC is not malfunctioning. 

 The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a near-
infrared laser beam and receiving the beam reÀ ected off the reÀ ector of the vehicle
ahead, and then using it for the measurement. Consequently, the Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) may not operate under the following conditions:
 


 ReÀ ection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.



 The vehicle ahead is signi¿ cantly dirty.



 Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.



 The window washer is being used or the windscreen wipers are not used when it's
raining.
 


 The windscreen is dirty.



 The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is accelerated
rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
 


 Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high
pro¿ le.




 Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier. 

 Under the following conditions, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not
operate normally.
 


 Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat.



 If there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.



 When driving on continuously curving roads, and entering and exiting exits.



 Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers the laser
sensor.
 


 Exhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water vapour rising from
manholes and grating, and water splashed into the air.
 


 When towing a malfunctioning vehicle.



 When driving with tyres having signi¿ cantly different wear.

*Some models.
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) *
Your vehicle is equipped with a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). The Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) is positioned near the rearview mirror and used by the following systems.
 


 High Beam Control System (HBC)



 Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)



 Driver Attention Alert (DAA)



 Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)



 Smart Brake Support (SBS)

The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of the vehicle while
travelling at night and detects traf¿ c lanes. The distance in which the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) can detect objects varies depending on the surrounding conditions.
WARNING
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 system not operating normally or
mistakenly operating, which could cause a serious accident.

  The distance appearing in the displayed image is different from the actual distance
because the rear view parking camera is equipped with a speci¿ c lens.

 Some optionally installed vehicle accessories may be picked up by the camera. Do not
install any optional parts that can interfere with the camera view, such as illuminating
parts or parts made of reÀ ective material.

 It may be dif¿ cult to see the display under the following conditions, however, it does
not indicate a malfunction.

Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System
Warning Light
* If the tyre pressure monitoring system has a malfunction, the tyre pressure warning
light À ashes for about 1 minute when the ignition is switched ON and then continues
illuminating. Have your vehicle checked by an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as possible.
WARNING
If the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or À ashes, or the tyre
pressure warning beep sound is heard, decrease vehicle speed immediately and avoid
sudden manoeuvring and braking:
If the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or À ashes, or the
tyre pressure warning beep sound is heard, it is dangerous to drive the vehicle at high
speeds, or perform sudden manoeuvring or braking. Vehicle drivability could worsen
and result in an accident.
To determine if you have a slow leak or a À at, pull over to a safe position where you
can check the visual condition of the tyre and determine if you have enough air
to proceed to a place where air may be added and the system monitored again by
an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer or a tyre repair
station.

Do not ignore the TPMS Warning Light:
Ignoring the TPMS warning light is dangerous, even if you know why it is
illuminated. Have the problem taken care of as soon as possible before it develops
into a more serious situation that could lead to tyre failure and a dangerous accident.
