15
When Driving
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
The adaptive LED headlights 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 a 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 of about 40 km/h (24 mph) or slower.
Wide-range low beam
This feature shifts the illumination angle of the light cast by the headlights upward
while driving on highways.
Highway mode


16
When Driving
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
The system switches the headlights to the high beams after the ignition is switched
ON and the headlight switch is in the AUTO position.
To turn on the system
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.
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
Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) helps prevent the driver from
overlooking traffic signs, and provides support for safer 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 safer 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.
17For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.


18
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).


19
When Driving
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to maintain
headway control according to the vehicle speed using a radar sensor to detect the
distance to a vehicle ahead, which frees the driver from having to 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:
• (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)
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.
Do not rely completely on the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
and always drive carefully:
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, heavy traffic, or roads requiring repeated and
frequent acceleration.
• When entering expressway interchanges and service areas.
• Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads.
• Long descending slopes.
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.
