CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to
assure correct operation of each
system.
Do not hit or apply strong force to
the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
or the area around it. If the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) is severely hit
or if there are cracks or damage
caused by flying gravel or debris in
the area around it, stop using the
following systems and consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 HBC
 LDWS
 TSR
 DSA
 DAA
 MRCC with Stop & Go function
 TJ A
 LAS
 ELK
 SBS forward drive detection
 The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is
installed to the windshield. Consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer for
windshield repair and replacement.
 Do not remove the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) cover.
 Be careful not to scratch the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens or allow
it to get dirty.
 The direction in which the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) is pointed has
been finely adjusted. Do not change
the installation position of the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or
remove it. Otherwise, it could result
in damage or malfunction.
 Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
regarding cleaning of the camera
lens.
 Do not place objects on the
dashboard which refl ect light.
Do not apply accessories, stickers or
fi lm to the windshield near the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
If the area in front of the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens is
obstructed, it will cause the system
to not operate correctly.
Consequently, each system may not
operate normally which could lead
to an unexpected accident.
 Always keep the windshield glass
around the camera clean by
removing dirt or fogging. Use the
windshield defroster to remove
fogging on the windshield.
 The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
includes a function for detecting a
soiled windshield and informing the
driver, however, depending on the
conditions, it may not detect plastic
shopping bags, ice or snow on the
windshield. In such cases, the system
cannot accurately determine a
vehicle ahead and may not be able
to operate normally. Always drive
carefully and pay attention to the
road ahead.
 When cleaning the windshield, do
not allow glass cleaners or similar
cleaning fluids to get on the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens. In
addition, do not touch the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens.
 Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
regarding cleaning the interior side of
the windshield around the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
 If there are recognizable cracks or
damage caused by flying gravel or
debris on the windshield, always
have the windshield replaced.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for replacement.
 Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
before performing repairs around the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).

rearview mirror, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 Always use tires for all wheels that
are of the speci fied size, and the
same manufacturer, brand, and tread
pattern. In addition, do not use tires
with signi ficantly di fferent wear
patterns on the same vehicle as the
system may not operate normally.
