Hazard Warning Flasher
▼Hazard Warning Flasher
The hazard warning lights should
always be used when you stop on or
near a roadway in an emergency.

The hazard warning lights warn other
drivers that your vehicle is a traffic
hazard and that they must take
extreme caution when near it.

Depress the hazard warning flasher
and all the turn signals will flash. The
hazard warning indicator lights in the
instrument cluster flash simultaneously.
NOTE
The turn signals do not work when
the hazard warning lights are on.
Check local regulations about the
use of hazard warning lights while
the vehicle is being towed to verify
that it is not in violation of the law.

▼Garage Door Two-Way
Communication
The garage door two-way
communication is a function that
communicates with the garage door
opener and indicates whether the
garages door is open or closed using
the indicator lights in the rear view
mirror. It can indicate the status of the
garage door within a range up-to 250
m (820 ft).
NOTE
The communication range may shorten
depending on obstructions.
Programming two-way
communication
Within five seconds after programming
a new HomeLink button, both of the
garage door status indicator lights will
flash rapidly in green indicating that
the garage door two-way
communication has been established.
If the garage door status indicator
lights flash, the two-way
communication programming is
complete.

If the garage door status indicator
lights do not flash, the two-way
communication programming is not
completed. For additional HomeLink

▼Camera and Sensors
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
detects lane indications and recognizes
headlights, taillights and city lights
during nighttime driving. In addition, it
also detects the vehicle ahead,
pedestrians, or obstructions. The
following systems use the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
High Beam Control system (HBC)Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)

drive detection
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is
installed at the top of the windshield
near the rearview mirror.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-197.
Front radar sensor
The front radar sensor detects radio
waves reflected off a vehicle ahead
sent from the radar sensor. The

High Beam ControlSystem (HBC)
*
▼ High Beam Control System (HBC)
The HBC determines the conditions in
front of the vehicle using the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) while driving in
darkness to automatically switch the
headlights between high and low
beams.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-197.
While driving the vehicle at a speed of
about 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, the
headlights are switched to high beams
when there are no vehicles ahead or
approaching in the opposite direction.
The system switches the headlights to
low beams when one of the following
occurs:
The system detects a vehicle or the
headlights/lights of a vehicle
approaching in the opposite
direction.
The vehicle is driven on roads lined
with streetlamps or on roads in
well-lit cities and towns.
The vehicle is driven at less than
about 20 km/h (12 mph).
The headlight high-beam indicator
light turns on while the high beams
are on.
1. Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)*1
*1 The recognition distance of the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) varies according to
the surrounding conditions.
The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to High Beam Control System
(HBC) Warning Indication/Warning
Light (Amber) on page 7-30.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the vehicle height,
modify the headlight units, or
remove the camera, otherwise the
system will not operate normally.
 Do not rely excessively on the HBC
and drive the vehicle while paying
sufficient attention to safety. Switch
the headlights between the high
beams and low beams manually if
necessary.
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 traffic conditions.
When there are sources of light in
the area such as streetlamps,
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
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.

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 tires onto your windshield.
▼To Operate the System
The 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 low beam position.
The HBC determines that it is dark
based on the brightness of the
surrounding area. At the same time,
the HBC indicator light (green) in the
instrument cluster illuminates.

NOTE
Operation of the HBC function can be
disabled.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
▼Manual Switching
Switching to low beams
Switch the headlight switch to the
position, or press the high beam
control switch.
The HBC indicator light (green) turns
off.

snow or ice on the rear bumper
near a rear side radar sensor.
Remove any snow, ice or mud on
the rear bumper.
Driving on snow-covered roads for
long periods.
The temperature near the rear side
radar sensor becomes extremely
hot due to driving for long periods
on slopes during the summer.
The battery voltage has decreased.Under the following conditions, the
rear side radar sensor cannot detect
target objects or it may be difficult to
detect them.
The rear bumper around the rear
side radar sensor is deformed.
Radio wave interference from a
radar sensor equipped on a nearby
vehicle.
