Essential Safety Equipment
SRS Air Bags
WARNING
Do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats:
Placing luggage or other objects under the front seats is dangerous. The components
essential to the supplementary restraint system could be damaged, and in the event of
a side collision, the appropriate air bags may not deploy, which could result in death
or serious injury. To prevent damage to the components essential to the supplementary
restraint system, do not place luggage or other objects under the front seats.

Do not operate a vehicle with damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner system
components:
Expended or damaged air bag/seat belt pretensioner system components must be
replaced after any collision which caused them to deploy or damage them. Only a
trained expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer can fully
evaluate these systems to see that they will work in any subsequent accident. Driving
with an expended or damaged air bag or pretensioner unit will not afford you the
necessary protection in the event of any subsequent accident which could result in
serious injury or death.

Do not remove interior air bag parts:
Removing any components such as the front seats, front instrument panel, the steering
wheel or parts on the front and rear window pillars and along the roof edge, containing
air bag parts or sensors is dangerous. These parts contain essential air bag components.
The air bag could accidentally activate and cause serious injuries. Always have an
Authorised Mazda Repairer remove these parts.

Properly dispose of the air bag system:
Improper disposal of an air bag or a vehicle with live air bags in it can be extremely
dangerous. Unless all safety procedures are followed, injury could result. Have an
expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer safely dispose of the air
bag system or scrap an air bag equipped vehicle.

Before Driving
Security System
*Some models.
Theft-Deterrent System *
If the theft-deterrent system detects an
inappropriate entry into the vehicle or
the intrusion sensor detects movement
in the vehicle which could result in the
vehicle (with the intrusion sensor) or its
contents being stolen, the alarm alerts the
surrounding area of an abnormality by
sounding the siren/horn and À ashing the
hazard warning lights.

The system will not function unless it's
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, follow the arming procedure
correctly.
Intrusion sensor
*
The intrusion sensor uses ultrasonic waves
to detect movement inside the vehicle and
to raise an alert of an intrusion into the
vehicle.

The intrusion sensor detects certain kinds
of movement inside the vehicle, however,
it may also respond to phenomenon
outside the vehicle such as vibrations, loud
noise, wind, and air currents.
CAUTION
In order for the intrusion sensor to
operate appropriately, be aware of the
following:
 
 Do not hang clothing or objects from
a head restraint or a coat hook.
  Return the extension sunvisors to
their original positions.
  Do not blind the intrusion sensor by
covering it or placing objects over it.
  Do not allow the intrusion sensor to
get soiled or wipe it with a liquid.
  Do not shock or cause an impact to
the intrusion sensor or the intrusion
sensor bezel.
  Do not install seats that are not
Mazda genuine products.
  To prevent obstruction of intrusion
sensor, do not place objects or cargo
near the intrusion sensor that are
higher than the head restraints.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
The timing in which the system switches the headlights changes under the following
conditions. If the system does not switch the headlights appropriately, manually switch
between high and low beams according to the visibility as well as road and traf¿ c
conditions.
 
 When there are 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 turn or hilly terrain. 
 When the headlights/rear lamps of vehicles in front of you or in the opposite lane are
dim or not illuminated.
  When there is suf¿ 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 in front of you spraying water from its tyres
onto your windscreen.

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
Turn the headlight switch to the

position.
The Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
indicator light (green) turns off and the

is illuminated.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
  Under the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect
vehicles ahead or obstructions correctly and each system may not operate normally.
 


 The rear surface of a vehicle ahead does not reÀ ect radio waves effectively, such as
an unloaded trailer or an automobile with a loading platform covered by a soft top,
vehicles with a hard plastic tailgate, and round-shaped vehicles.
 


 Vehicles ahead with low vehicle height and thus less area for reÀ ecting radio waves.



 Visibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead casting off water, snow, or sand from its
tyres and onto your windscreen.
 


 The luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger seats
are occupied.
 


 Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front surface of the front emblem.



 During inclement weather such as rain, snow, or sand storms.



 When driving near facilities or objects emitting strong radio waves. 

 Under the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect
vehicles ahead or obstructions.
 


 The beginning and end of a curve.



 Roads with continuous curves.



 Narrow lane roads due to road construction or lane closures.



 The vehicle ahead enters the radar sensor's blind spot.



 The vehicle ahead is running abnormally due to accident or vehicle damage.



 Roads with repeated up and down slopes



 Driving on poor roads or unpaved roads.



 The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely short.



 A vehicle suddenly comes close such as by cutting into the lane. 

 To prevent incorrect operation of the system, use tyres of the same speci¿ ed size,
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern on all four wheels. In addition, do not use
tyres with signi¿ cantly different wear patterns or tyre pressures on the same vehicle
(Including the temporary spare tyre).
  If the battery power is weak, the system may not operate correctly. 
 If the vehicle is driven on a road with little traf¿ c and few vehicles ahead or
obstructions for the radar sensor (front) to detect, the sensor detects that the radar
sensor (front) is dirty and the Smart Brake Support/Smart City Brake Support (SBS/
SCBS) Warning Light (amber) may be temporarily turned on. However, it does not
indicate a malfunction.
