headlight MAZDA MODEL CX-5 2017 - RHD (UK, Australia) (in English) User Guide

CAUTION
Do not shade the light sensor by adhering a st icker or a label on the windscreen. Otherwise
the light sensor will not operate correctly.

 The light sensor also works as a rain sensor for the auto-wiper control. Keep hands and
scrapers clear of the windscreen when the wiper lever is in the
position and the
ignition is switched ON as fingers could be pinched or the wipers and wiper blades
damaged when the wipers activate automatically. If you are going to clean the windscreen,
be sure the wipers are turned off completely ― this is particularly important when clearing
ice and snow ― when it is particularly tempting to leave the engine running.
NOTE
•The headlights and other exterior lights may not turn off immediately even if the
surrounding area becomes well-lit because the light sensor determines that it is night time
if the surrounding area is continuously dark for several minute s such as inside long
tunnels, traffic jams inside tunn els, or in indoor parking lots.
In this case, the lights turn off if the light switch is turned to the
position.
•The sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.

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.
These systems are designed to assist the driver in safer drivin g 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 sol ely on the systems.
â–¼Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer driving by helping the
driver to recognise potential
hazards and avert accidents.

Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects lane indications and r
ecognises headlights, tail
lights and city lights during nighttime driving. In addition, i t also detects the vehicle ahead,
pedestrians, or obstructions. The following systems also use th e Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC).
•High Beam Control System (HBC)
•Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
•Driver Attention Alert (DAA)
•Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System ( LDWS)
•Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
•Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)
•Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)
•Smart Brake Support (SBS)
•Mazda Radar Cruise Control with S top & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed at the top of the windscreen near the
rearview mirror.

Adaptive Front LightingSystem (AFS)
*
The adaptive front lighting system (AFS)
automatically adjusts the headlight beams
to the left or right i n conjunction with the
operation of the steering wheel after the
headlights have been turned on.
NOTE
•Headlights do not blind drivers
approaching in the opposite direction no
matter what side of the road you must
drive your vehicle (left-hand or
right-hand traffic). Therefore, it is not
necessary to adjust the optical axis of
the headlights when switching
temporarily to driving on the opposite
side of the road (left-hand or right-hand
traffic).
•The Adaptive Front Lighting System
(AFS) function can be switched to
operable/inoperable using the
personalisation function.
