For details, refer to Section 4, “Automatic Transaxle” or “Drive selection”.
Drive Selection
Drive Selection Switch Drive selection is a system to switch the vehicle's drive mode. When the sport mode
is selected, vehicle's response against accelerator operation is enhanced. This
provides additional quick acceleration which may be needed to safely make
manoeuvres such as lane changes, merging onto freeways, or passing other vehicles.
Press the drive selection switch forward “ ( ) ” to select the sport mode. Pull
the drive selection switch back “ ( ) ” to cancel the sport mode.

For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
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 LED Headlights (ALH)
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
These systems are designed to assist the driver in safer driving by reducing the load on
the driver and helping to avert collisions or reduce their severity. However, because each
system has its limitations, always drive carefully and do not rely solely on the systems.
Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer driving by helping the driver to recognise
potential hazards and avert accidents.

When Driving
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
The Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) 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 the vehicle ahead.
Glare-free high beam
The high beams will dim while driving at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or
faster. When the vehicle speed is less than about 30 km/h (18 mph), 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 less than about 40 km/h (25 mph).
Wide-range low beam
This feature shifts the illumination angle of the light cast by the headlights upward
while driving on highways.

When Driving
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
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 traffic conditions.
• When there are other 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 position.
The Adaptive LED Headlights
(ALH) indicator light (green) in the instrument cluster turns on simultaneously.
To Operate the System
CAUTION
• Do not modify the suspensions or headlight units, or remove the camera.
Otherwise, the Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) may not operate normally.
• Do not rely excessively on the Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) and drive
the vehicle while paying sufficient attention to safety. Switch the headlights
between the high beams and low beams manually if necessary.
• When the headlights/rear lamps of vehicles ahead or in the opposite lane are
dim or not illuminated.
• When there is insufficient 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.

Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) helps prevent the driver from
overlooking traffic signs, and provides support for safe 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.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the active driving
display while the vehicle is driven, the system notifies the driver using the
indication in the active driving display and a warning sound.
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) displays the speed limit (including
auxiliary signs) and do not enter signs.
Always check the traffic signs visually while driving.
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) helps prevent the driver from
overlooking traffic signs and provides support for safe driving. Depending on
the weather conditions or problems with traffic signs, a traffic sign may not be
recognised or a traffic sign different from the actual traffic sign may be
displayed. Always make it your responsibility as a driver to check the traffic
signs.
WARNING
Otherwise, it could result in an unexpected accident.
NOTE
• The Traffic Sign Recognition System (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 Traffic Sign Recognition System (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.

When Driving
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed on the active driving
display, the warning sound is activated and the area around the speed limit sign
displayed on the active driving display flashes 3 times in amber, and if the vehicle
speed continues to exceed the displayed speed limit sign, the indication stops
flashing and remains on. Check the surrounding conditions and adjust the vehicle
speed to the legal speed using the appropriate operation such as depressing the
brake pedal.
Excessive Speed Warning
NOTE
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) does not operate if there is a
malfunction in the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).

Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to maintain headway control*1
according to the vehicle speed using a radar sensor (front) to detect the distance to a vehicle
ahead, which frees the driver from having to constantly use the accelerator or brake pedals.
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.
The possible vehicle speed setting ranges are as follows:
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
Use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system on expressways and other
highways which do not require a lot of repeated acceleration and deceleration.
•(European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 200 km/h (124 mph)
•(Except European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 145 km/h (90 mph)
Do not rely completely on the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
and always drive carefully:
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to reduce load on the
driver, and although it maintains a constant vehicle speed, or specifically, it
maintains a constant distance between your vehicle and the detected vehicle ahead
according to the vehicle speed, the system has detection limitations depending on the
type of vehicle ahead and its conditions, the weather conditions, and the 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. Always verify
the safety of the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal
while keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
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 and where vehicle traffic is heavy and there is
insufficient space between vehicles. Roads where frequent and repetitive
acceleration and deceleration occur.
•When entering and exiting interchanges, service areas, and parking areas of highways.
•Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads.
•Long descending slopes.
*1 Headway Control: Control of the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
detected by the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system.
