Camera and Sensors

Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)

The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects lane indications and recognises headlights, tail lights and city lights during nighttime driving. In addition, it also detects the vehicle ahead, pedestrians, or obstructions. The following systems also use the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).

  • 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 Brake Support (SBS)

  • Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function)

The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed at the top of the windscreen near the rearview mirror.

Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) (Search).

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 with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function)

  • Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)

  • Smart Brake Support (SBS)

The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the radiator grille.

Refer to Radar Sensor (Front) (Search).

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)

  • Rear 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) (Search).

Ultrasonic sensors (rear)

The ultrasonic sensors (rear) function by detecting the ultrasonic waves reflected off obstructions at the rear sent from the ultrasonic sensors. The following systems also use the ultrasonic sensors (rear).

  • Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R)

The ultrasonic sensors (rear) are mounted in the rear bumper.

Refer to Ultrasonic Sensors (Rear) (Search).

Front camera/side cameras/rear view camera

The front camera, side cameras, and rear camera shoot images of the area surrounding the vehicle. The 360° View Monitor uses each camera.

Cameras are installed to the front bumper, door mirrors, and liftgate.

Refer to Front Camera/Side Cameras/Rear Camera (Search).

Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) (Some Models)

Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) (Some Models)

The adaptive front lighting system (AFS) automatically adjusts the headlight beams to the left or right in conjunction with the operation of the steering wheel after the headlights have been turned on.

 

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).

Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) (Some Models)

Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) (Some Models)

The ALH are a system which uses the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) to determine the situation of a vehicle ahead or a vehicle approaching in the opposite direction while driving at night to automatically switch the illumination range of the headlights, the illuminated area, or the illumination brightness.

Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) (Search).

The ALH are controlled between high and low beams as follows to assure the driver’s visibility without dazzling a vehicle ahead or a vehicle approaching in the opposite direction.

Glare-Free High Beam

This feature dims only the high-beam light shone on the vehicle ahead.

The high beams will dim while driving at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or faster. When the vehicle speed is less than about 30 km/h (18 mph), the beams switch to the low beams.

 

The headlight high-beam indicator light turns on while the high beams are on.

Close Note
View Note

Wide-Range Low Beam

This feature extends the illumination range of the light cast by the low beams while driving at a speed less than about 40 km/h (25 mph).

Highway Mode

This feature shifts the illumination angle of the light cast by the headlights upward while driving on highways.

The distance in which the ALH can detect objects varies depending on the surrounding conditions.

 

  • Do not modify the suspensions or headlight units, or remove the camera. Otherwise, the ALH may not operate normally.

  • Do not rely excessively on the ALH and drive the vehicle while paying sufficient attention to safety. Switch the headlights between the high beams and low beams manually if necessary.

Close Caution
View Caution

 

Under the following conditions, the ALH may not operate normally. Manually switch between the high and low beams according to the visibility, and the road and traffic conditions.

  • When there are other sources of light in the area such as street lamps, illuminated signboards, and traffic signals.

  • When there are reflective objects in the surrounding area such as reflective plates and signs.

  • When visibility is reduced under rain, snow and foggy conditions.

  • When driving on roads with sharp curves or undulations.

  • When the headlights/rear lamps of vehicles ahead or in the opposite lane are dim or not illuminated.

  • When there is insufficient darkness such as at dawn or dusk.

  • When the luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger seats are occupied.

  • When visibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead spraying water from its tyres onto your windscreen.

Excessive Speed Warning

If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the active driving display, the area around the speed limit sign flashes three times in amber and the warning sound is activated three times at the same time. If the vehicle speed continues to exceed the displayed speed limit sign, the indication stops flashing and remains on. Check the surrounding conditions and adjust the vehicle speed to the legal speed using the appropriate operation such as depressing the brake pedal.

The excessive speed warning is initially set to inoperable. If you want to activate the excessive speed warning, change the setting in the personalisation features. In addition, the warning pattern and the warning activation timing differ depending on the setting contents.

Refer to Personalisation Features (Search).

Warning pattern

  • Off: The excessive speed warning is not activated.

  • Visual: The area around the speed limit sign displayed in the display flashes 3 times in amber, and if the vehicle speed continues to exceed the displayed speed limit sign, the indication stops flashing and remains on.

  • Audio & Visual: The area around the speed limit sign displayed in the display flashes 3 times in amber and the warning sound is activated 3 times at the same time. If the vehicle speed continues to exceed the displayed speed limit sign, the indication stops flashing and remains on.

Warning activation timing

  • 0: If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the display, the excessive speed warning is activated.

  • 5: If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the display by 5 km/h (3 mph), the excessive speed warning is activated.

  • 10: If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the display by 10 km/h (5 mph), the excessive speed warning is activated.

 

  • In the following cases, the excessive speed warning stops operating.

    • The vehicle speed is less than the speed of the displayed speed limit sign. (If the activation timing for the excessive speed warning is changed in the personalisation features, the excessive speed warning stops operating when the vehicle speed is less than the changed vehicle speed.

    • A speed limit sign indication has been updated and the vehicle speed is lower than the updated indication.

    • Display of the speed limit sign stops.

  • The warning indication is displayed at the same time the excessive speed warning sound is activated if the vehicle speed exceeds the speed indicated on the speed limit sign.

    Refer to Warning Sound is Activated (Search).

  • The TSR can recognise a speed limit sign with an auxiliary sign and display it, but it cannot determine the indication on the auxiliary sign (such as time restrictions, turning restrictions, end of section). Therefore, the excessive speed warning is activated when the vehicle speed exceeds the displayed speed limit sign even if the conditions indicated on the auxiliary sign do not apply to the vehicle.

  • If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) incorrectly recognises the actual speed limit sign at a lower speed, the excessive speed alarm is activated even if the vehicle is driven at the legal speed.

Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) (Some Models)

Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) (Some Models)

The DRSS measures the distance between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar sensor (front) while the vehicle speed is about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster, and if your vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely than what is appropriate for maintaining distance between the vehicles according to the vehicle speed, a notification in the active driving display is indicated to advise you to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.

 

Do not rely completely on the DRSS and always drive carefully:

The DRSS provides advice for safer driving and notifies the driver of a recommended, safer distance to maintain with a vehicle ahead. The ability to detect a vehicle ahead is limited depending on the type of vehicle ahead, the weather conditions, and the traffic conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator and brake pedals are not operated correctly it could lead to an accident. Always verify the safety of the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.

Close Warning

Driver Attention Alert (DAA) (Some Models)

Driver Attention Alert (DAA) (Some Models)

The DAA is a system which detects driver fatigue and decreased attentiveness, and encourages the driver to take a rest.

When the vehicle is driven inside traffic lane lines at about 65 to 140 km/h (41 to 86 mph), the DAA estimates the amount of accumulated fatigue and decreased attentiveness of the driver based on the information from the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and other vehicle information, and encourages the driver to take a rest using an indication on the multi-information display and a warning sound.

Use the DAA on expressways or highways.

Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) (Search).

 

Do not rely completely on DAA and always drive carefully:

The DAA detects driver fatigue and decreased attentiveness and encourages the driver to take a rest, however, it is not designed to prevent the vehicle from straying. If you rely too much on the DAA it could lead to an accident. Drive carefully and operate the steering wheel appropriately.

In addition, the system may not be able to detect driver fatigue and decreased attentiveness correctly depending on the traffic and driving conditions. The driver must take sufficient rest in consideration of safer driving.

When the system detects driver fatigue or decreased attentiveness, it activates the warning sound and displays an alert in the multi-information display.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) (Some Models)

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) (Some Models)

The RCTA system is designed to assist the driver in checking the area to the rear of the vehicle on both sides while the vehicle is reversing by alerting the driver to the presence of vehicles approaching the rear of the vehicle.

The RCTA system detects vehicles approaching from the rear left and right sides of the vehicle, and the rear of the vehicle while the vehicle is being reversed out of a parking space, and notifies the driver of possible danger using the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights and the warning buzzer.

RCTA operation

  1. The RCTA system operates when the shift lever (manual transaxle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) is shifted to the reverse (R) position.

  2. If there is the possibility of a collision with an approaching vehicle, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights flashes and the warning beep is activated simultaneously.

    (With rear view monitor)

    The RCTA warning indication in the rearview monitor also synchronizes with the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light on the door mirrors.

    (With 360° view monitor)

    The RCTA warning indication in the 360° view monitor also synchronizes with the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light on the door mirrors.

 

Always check the surrounding area visually before actually putting the vehicle in reverse:

The system is only designed to assist you in checking for vehicles at the rear when putting the vehicle in reverse. Due to certain limitations with the operation of this system, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights may not flash or it might be delayed even though a vehicle is behind your vehicle. Always make it your responsibility as a driver to check the rear.
