To Operate the System
The High Beam Control System (HBC)
operates to switch the headlights
automatically between high and low
beams after the ignition is switched ON
and the headlight switch is in the AUTO
and high beam position.
The High Beam Control System (HBC)
determines that it is dark based on the
brightness of the surrounding area. At the
same time, the High Beam Control System
(HBC) indicator light (green) in the
instrument cluster illuminates.
N O T E
y When the vehicle speed is 30 km/h
(18 mph) or higher, the headlights
automatically switch to high beams
when there are no vehicles ahead or
approaching in the opposite direction.
When the vehicle speed is less than
about 20 km/h (12 mph), the High Beam
Control System (HBC) switches the
headlights to low beams.
y The low beams may not switch to high
beams when cornering.
y Operation of the High Beam Control
System (HBC) function can be disabled.

Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver in checking the
area to the rear of the vehicle on both sides during lane changes by alerting the driver to the
presence of vehicles approaching from the rear in an adjacent lane.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system detects vehicles approaching from the rear while
traveling in the forward direction at a speed of 10 km/h (6.3 mph) or faster and turns on the
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning lights equipped on the door mirrors depending on
the conditions. If the turn signal lever is operated to signal a lane change in the direction
in which the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning light is illuminated, the system warns
the driver of a vehicle in the detection area by À ashing the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
warning light and activating a beep sound.
The detection area on this system covers the driving lanes on both sides of the vehicle and
from the rear part of the front doors to about 50 m (164 ft) behind the vehicle.

Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW)
Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) is a system which alerts the driver of a possible
collision using an indicator and warning sound in the instrument cluster while the vehicle
is being driven at about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster) and the system's radar sensor
determines that your vehicle may hit a vehicle or obstruction ahead.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) system and always
drive carefully:
Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) is only designed to reduce damage in the event of
a collision. The ability to detect an obstruction is limited depending on the obstruction,
weather conditions, or traffi c conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator pedal or brake
pedal is mistakenly operated it could result in an accident. Always verify the safety of the
surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a safe
distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
N O T E
y The Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) system operates when all of the following
conditions are met:
y The ignition is switched ON.
y The Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) system is on.
y The vehicle speed is about 15 km/h (10 mph) or faster.
y The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or obstruction ahead is about
15 km/h (10 mph) or faster.
y The Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) system may not operate under the following
conditions:
y If there is the possibility of hitting only a part of a vehicle or obstruction ahead.
y If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly and it comes close to a vehicle ahead.
y The DSC is malfunctioning.
y The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.
y The accelerator pedal is depressed.
y The brake pedal is depressed.
y The steering wheel is being operated.
y The selector lever is being operated.
y The turn signal is being used.

depressed.
N O T E
y When accelerating using the SET
switch while in headway control, the set
vehicle speed can be adjusted but
acceleration is not possible. If there is
no longer a vehicle ahead, acceleration
continues until reaching the set vehicle
speed. Check the set vehicle speed by
viewing the set vehicle speed display in
the active driving display.
y When depressing the accelerator pedal,
the inter-vehicle distance display in the
active driving display changes to the
white-line display.
y The minimum settable speed is 30 km/h
(19 mph). If the set vehicle speed
reaches 30 km/h (19 mph) using the
switch operation, constant speed travel
is maintained at about 30 km/h (19
mph) even if the SET
switch is
pressed. The Mazda Radar Cruise
Control (MRCC) system is not canceled.
