i-ACTIVSENSEí
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 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.
qActive Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer driving by helping the driver to recognize
potential hazards and avert accidents.

qCamera and Sensors
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects lane indications and recognizes headlights,
taillights and city lights during nighttime driving. The following systems also use the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
lHigh Beam Control system (HBC)lLane Departure Warning System (LDWS)lSmart Brake Support (SBS)
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 4-134.
Radar sensor (front)
The radar sensor (front) functions by detecting the radio waves reflected off a vehicle
ahead sent from the radar sensor. The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).
lMazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)lDistance Recognition Support System (DRSS)lSmart Brake Support (SBS)
The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the radiator grille.
Refer to Radar Sensor (Front) on page 4-137.
Laser sensor (front)
The laser sensor (front) emits a near-infrared laser beam and receives the beam reflected off
the reflective surface of a vehicle in front, and the detected beam is then used for
measurement. The following systems also use the laser sensor (front).
lSmart Brake Support (SBS)lSmart City Brake Support (SCBS)
The laser sensor (front) is installed at the top of the windshield near the rearview mirror.
Refer to Laser Sensor (Front) on page 4-140.
Radar sensors (rear)
The radar sensors (rear) function by detecting the radio waves reflected off a vehicle
approaching from the rear or an obstruction sent from the radar sensors. The following
systems also use the radar sensors (rear).
lBlind Spot Monitoring (BSM) SystemlRear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
The radar sensors (rear) are installed inside the rear bumper, one each on the left and right
sides.
Refer to Radar Sensors (Rear) on page 4-142.

High Beam Control System (HBC)í
The High Beam Control System (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 Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-20.
While driving the vehicle at a speed of about 30 km/h (18 mph), 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:
lThe system detects a vehicle or the headlights/lights of a vehicle approaching in the
opposite direction.
lThe vehicle is driven on roads lined with streetlamps or on roads in well-lit cities and
towns.
lThe vehicle is driven at less than about 20 km/h (12 mph).
Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC)
The recognition distance of the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
varies according to the
surrounding conditions.
The warning light illuminates or flashes when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-20.
CAUTION
ØDo not adjust the vehicle height, modify the headlight units, or remove the
camera, otherwise the system will not operate normally.
ØDo not rely excessively on the High Beam Control System (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.
lWhen there are sources of light in the area such as street lamps, illuminated signboards, and
traffic signals.
lWhen there are reflective objects in the surrounding area such as reflective plates and signs.lWhen visibility is reduced under rain, snow and foggy conditions.lWhen driving on roads with sharp curves or hilly terrain.lWhen the headlights/rear lamps of vehicles in front of you or in the opposite lane are dim or not
illuminated.
lWhen there is insufficient darkness such as at dawn or dusk.lWhen the luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger seats are
occupied.
lWhen visibility is reduced due to a vehicle in front of you spraying water from its tires onto your
windshield.

qTo Operate the System
The High Beam Control System (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 high beam position. At the same time,
the High Beam Control System (HBC)
indicator light (green) in the instrument
cluster illuminates.
The High Beam Control System (HBC)
determines that it is dark based on the
brightness of the surrounding area.
NOTE
lWhen the vehicle speed is 30 km/h (18 mph)
or higher, the headlights automatically
switch to high beams when there are no
vehicles ahead or approaching in the
opposite direction.
When the vehicle speed is less than about
20 km/h (12 mph), the High Beam Control
System (HBC) switches the headlights to
low beams.
lThe low beams may not switch to high
beams when cornering.
lOperation of the High Beam Control
System (HBC) function can be disabled
Refer to Personalization Features on page
9-10.
qManual Switching
Switching to low beams
Shift the lever to the low beam position.
The High Beam Control System (HBC)
indicator light (Green) turns off.
Switching to high beams
Turn the headlight switch to the
position.
The High Beam Control System (HBC)
indicator light (Green) turns off and the
is illuminated.

NOTElThe Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is deliberately
performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
lThe Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following conditions.lThe engine is running.l“SCBS Forward malfunction”is not displayed in the multi-information display.lThe vehicle speed is between about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph).lThe Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.lThe DSC is not malfunctioning.lThe Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a near-infrared laser
beam and receiving the beam reflected off the reflector of the vehicle ahead, and then using it for
the measurement. Consequently, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) may not operate under the
following conditions:
lReflection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.lThe vehicle ahead is significantly dirty.lUnder bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.lThe window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used when it's raining.lThe windshield is dirty.lThe steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is accelerated rapidly and
comes close to the vehicle ahead.
lTrucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high profile.lVehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.lUnder the following conditions, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not operate
normally.
lHeavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat.lIf there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.lWhen driving on continuously curving roads, and entering and exiting exits.lElongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers the laser sensor.lExhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water vapor rising from manholes and
grating, and water splashed into the air.
lWhen towing a malfunctioning vehicle.lWhen driving with tires having significantly different wear.lIn the following cases, the laser sensor may inadvertently determine that there is a vehicle ahead
and the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may operate.
lObjects on the road at the entrance to a curve.lVehicles passing in the opposite lane while making a curve.lMetal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road.lWhen passing through a toll gate equipped with a bar.lWhen passing under a vinyl curtain or flag.lPlastic objects such as pylons.lTwo-wheeled vehicles, pedestrians, animals or standing trees.lWhen the system operates, the user is notified by the flashing Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
warning indication and the multi-information display.
