Mazda intelligent DriveSelect (Mi-Drive)
â–¼Mazda intelligent Drive Select
(Mi-Drive)
Mi-drive is a system
that switches the
drive modes depending on the driving
conditions, road conditions and vehicle
conditions.
The mode can be switched from normal to
sport or off-road.
Sport mode
*
This mode enhances vehicle
responsiveness when the accelerator pedal
is depressed.
This provides additional quick
acceleration which may be needed to
safely make maneuvers such as lane
changes, merging onto freeways, or
passing other vehicles.
Off-road mode
*
This mode helps prevent drive-wheel
spinning during off-road driving and
improves driv ing performance.
And this mode also assists in freeing tires
that are stuck.
Use this mode to drive the vehicle on
slippery roads such as muddy, sandy, or
deep-snowy roads.
Warnings and cautions when using
Mi-Drive
WARNING
 Do not rely completely on the Mi-Drive
system.
 Vehicle stability is limited even when
Mi-drive is activated.
Always drive the vehicle safely. Do not
drive the vehicle recklessly, otherwise it
may result in an accident.
 Do not drive the vehicle on paved roads
while the Off-road mode is operating.
Otherwise, it could negatively affect the
drivetrain parts which could result in an
accident.
CAUTION
Do not use the sport mode when driving
on slippery roads such as wet or
snow-covered roads. It may cause tire
slipping.
 Heed the following cautions so that the
system can operate normally.
 Always use tires of the specified size,
same manufacturer, brand, and
pattern (tread pattern) for the front
and rear wheels.
 Do not use tires with significantly
different wear patterns on the same
vehicle.
 Drive carefully when using tire chains.
Because the diameter of the tires differs,
the system may not operate normally.
 If the vehicle is driven continuously with
the Off-road mode on, the AWD warning
light may
flash.

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 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 carefull y and do not rely solely on the systems.
â–¼Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer driving
by helping the driver to recognize potential
hazards and avert accidents.

left or right in conjunction with the operation of the steering wheel after the headlights have
been turned on.
A system malfunction or operation co nditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Contact Authorized Mazda Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on page 7-25.

CX-5_8KN5-EA-21K_Edition1_old 2021-9-9 8:35:12

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 4-256.
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:
ï‚·The system detects a vehicle or the headlights/lights of a vehicle approaching in the
opposite direction.
ï‚·The vehicle is driven on roads lined with stre etlamps or on roads in well-lit cities and
towns.
ï‚·The 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 turns on when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Contact Authorized Mazda Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on page 7-25.
CAUTION

Do not adjust the vehicle he ight, 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 th e high beams and low beams manually if
necessary.

CX-5_8KN5-EA-21K_Edition1_old 2021-9-9 8:35:12

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.
ï‚·When there are sources of light in the area such as streetlamps, illuminated signboards,
and traffic signals.
ï‚·When there are reflective objects in the surrounding area such as reflective plates and
signs.
ï‚·When visibility is reduced under rain, snow and foggy conditions.
ï‚·When driving on roads with sharp turn or hilly terrain.
ï‚·When the headlights/rear lamps of vehicles in front of you or in the opposite lane are dim
or not illuminated.
ï‚·When there is sufficient darkness such as at dawn or dusk.
ï‚·When the luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger seats
are occupied.
ï‚·When visibility is reduced due to a vehicle in front of you spraying water from its tires
onto your windshield.
â–¼ To Operate the System
The HBC operates to switch the headlights
automatically betw
een high and low
beams after the ignition is switched ON
and the headlight swit ch is in the AUTO
and high 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
ï‚·When the vehicle speed is about 30 km/h
(19 mph) or more, 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 HBC
switches the headlights to low beams.
ï‚·The low beams may not switch to high
beams when cornering.
ï‚·Operation of the HBC function can be
disabled. Refer to the Settings section in
the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
