When Driving
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.
Nighttime visibility
Left/right side and rear side detection
Inter-vehicle distance recognition
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
Rear obstruction detection when leaving a parking space

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.

When Driving
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
If there is the possibility of a collision with a
vehicle ahead, the beep sounds continuously and a
warning is indicated in the active driving display.
Collision Warning
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system may not operate under the following
conditions:
•If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly and it comes close to a vehicle ahead.
Although the objects which activate the system are four-wheeled vehicles, the
radar sensor (front) could detect the following objects, determine them to be an
obstruction, and operate the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system.
•Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve (including guardrails and
snow banks).
•The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.
•The accelerator pedal is depressed.
•A vehicle appears in the opposite lane while cornering or rounding a curve.
•When crossing a narrow bridge.
•When entering an underground parking area.
•Metal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road. NOTE
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
•The brake pedal is depressed.
•The steering wheel is being operated.
•The selector lever is being operated.
• The direction indicator is being used.
• When the vehicle ahead is not equipped with tail lights or the tail lights are
turned off.
• When warnings and messages, such as a dirty windscreen, related to the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) are being displayed in the multi-
information display.
•
When passing under a low gate or through a tunnel or narrow gate.
•If you suddenly come close to a vehicle ahead.
•When driving in areas where there is high grass or forage.
•Two-wheeled vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycles.
•Pedestrians or non-metallic objects such as standing trees.

If Trouble Arises
If Trouble Arises
• Flat Tyre
If you have a flat tyre, drive slowly to a level spot that is well off the road and
out of the way of traffic to change the tyre.
In the event of a flat tyre, use the emergency flat tyre repair kit to repair the tyre
temporarily or use the temporary spare tyre.
• Overheating
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.
2. Check whether coolant or steam is escaping from the engine compartment.
If steam is coming from the engine compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle. Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then open the bonnet and start the engine.
If neither coolant nor steam is escaping:
Open the bonnet and idle the engine until it cools.
• Towing Description
We recommend that towing be done only by an expert repairer, we recommend
an
Authorised Mazda Repairer or a commercial tow-truck service.
• Warning Lights and Warning Sounds
If a warning light illuminates or flashes or a warning sound is heard, check for
details concerning the warning light or sound in this guide. If the problem
cannot be resolved, contact an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
For details, refer to Section 7, “Flat Tyre”, “Overheating”, “Emergency Towing” or
“Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds”.
