The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of the vehicle while travelling at night and detects traffic lanes. The following systems also use the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
-
High Beam Control system (HBC)
-
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
-
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed at the top of the windscreen near the rearview mirror.

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).
-
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
-
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
-
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the radiator grille.

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).
-
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
-
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The laser sensor (front) is installed at the top of the windscreen near the rearview mirror.

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).
-
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
-
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
The radar sensors (rear) are installed inside the rear bumper, one each on the left and right sides.
