i-ACTIVSENSE
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 carefully and do not rely solely on the systems.
Pre-Crash Safety Technology
Pre-crash safety technology is designed to assist the driver in averting collisions or reduce their severity in situations where they cannot be avoided.
Collision damage reduction in low vehicle speed range
Forward driving
Reverse driving
Collision damage reduction in medium/high speed range

Manual Switching
Switching to low beams
Shift the lever to the low beam position.
The HBC indicator light (green) turns off.
Switching to high beams
Turn the headlight switch to the 
position.
The HBC indicator light (green) turns off and the is illuminated.
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.
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.
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.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Warning Indicator Lights/Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Warning Beep
The BSM or Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system notifies the driver of the presence of vehicles in adjacent lanes or at the rear of the vehicle using the BSM warning indicator light, the warning sound and the display indicator (vehicles with instrument cluster (Type A/B) and active driving display) (BSM) while the systems are operational.
BSM warning indicator lights
The BSM warning indicator lights are equipped on the left and right door mirrors. The warning indicator lights turn on when a vehicle approaching from the rear in an adjacent lane is detected.
When the ignition is switched ON, the warning indicator light turns on momentarily and then turns off after a few seconds.
Forward driving (BSM operation)
The BSM detects vehicles approaching from the rear and turns on the BSM warning indicator lights equipped on the door mirrors according to the conditions. Additionally, while a BSM warning indicator light is illuminated, if the direction indicator lever is operated to signal a turn in the direction in which the BSM warning indicator light is illuminated, the BSM warning indicator light flashes.
Reverse driving (Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system operation)
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system detects a vehicle approaching from the rear of the vehicle and flashes the BSM warning indicator lights.
Function for cancelling illumination dimmer
If the BSM warning indicator lights turn on when the position lights are turned on, the brightness of the BSM warning indicator lights is dimmed.
If the BSM warning indicator lights are difficult to see due to glare from surrounding brightness when travelling on snow-covered roads or under foggy conditions, press the dimmer cancellation button to cancel the dimmer and increase the brightness of BSM warning indicator lights when they turn on.
Refer to Instrument Panel Illumination (Search), (Search), (Search).
Display indicator (Vehicles with multi-information display and active driving display)
The detected approaching vehicle and warning are displayed in the multi-information display and active driving display when the vehicle is moving forward (BSM operational).
The detected direction is displayed with a detection indicator (white) when an approaching vehicle is detected. In addition, if the direction indicator lever is operated to signal a lane change while the vehicle is detected, the display changes the colour (amber) of the warning indicator.
BSM warning beep
The BSM warning beep is activated simultaneously with the flashing of a BSM warning indicator light.
Cancelling Operation of Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
The BSM system can be set to inoperable.
Refer to Personalisation Features (Search).
When the BSM is set to inoperable, the BSM and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems are turned off and the BSM OFF indicator light in the instrument cluster turns on.
When the ignition is switched OFF, the system status before it was turned off is maintained. For example, if the ignition is switched OFF while the BSM and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems are operational, the BSM and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems remain operational the next time the ignition is switched ON.
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 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.
-
The DRSS operates when all of the following conditions are met:
-
The ignition is switched ON.
-
The DRSS is on.
-
The selector lever is in a position other than reverse (R).
-
The vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19 mph or faster).
-
-
The objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles.
-
The DRSS may also operate in the presence of motorcycles and bicycles.
-
The DRSS may not operate normally under the following conditions:
-
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) has a malfunction.
-
The vehicle ahead is travelling at an extremely slow speed.
-
-
The system does not operate with the following objects:
-
Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.
-
Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
-
Indication on Display
The DRSS operation status is indicated in the active driving display or multi-information display. Regarding malfunctions, check the vehicle conditions or have it inspected by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer according to the content of the displayed message.
-
When the ignition is switched off, the operation status before the system was turned off is maintained. For example, if the ignition is switched off with the DRSS operable, the system will be operable when the ignition is switched ON the next time.
-
The DRSS can be turned on/off and the system's sensitivity can be changed.

Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) (Manual Transaxle) (Some Models)
The MRCC system is designed to maintain headway control*1 with a vehicle ahead according to your vehicle's speed using a radar sensor (front) to detect the distance to the vehicle ahead and a preset vehicle speed without you having to use the accelerator or brake pedals.
-
Headway Control: Control of the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead detected by the MRCC system.
Additionally, if your vehicle starts closing in on the vehicle ahead such as if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, a warning sound and a warning indication in the display are activated simultaneously to alert you to maintain a sufficient distance between the vehicles.
Also refer to the following before using the MRCC.
-
Radar sensor (front) (Search)
Do not rely completely on the MRCC:
The MRCC system has detection limitations depending on the type of vehicle ahead and its conditions, the weather conditions, and the road conditions. Additionally, the system may be unable to decelerate sufficiently to avoid hitting the vehicle ahead if the vehicle ahead applies the brakes suddenly or another vehicle cuts into the driving lane, which could result in an accident.
Always drive carefully and verify the surrounding conditions and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
Do not use the MRCC system in the following locations, using the MRCC system at the following locations may result in an unexpected accident:
-
General roads other than highways (Driving under these conditions using the MRCC system is not possible.)
-
Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle traffic is heavy and there is insufficient space between vehicles.
-
Roads where frequent and repetitive acceleration and deceleration occur (Driving under these conditions using the MRCC system is not possible).
-
When entering and exiting interchanges, service areas, and parking areas of highways (If you exit a highway while headway control is in use, the vehicle ahead will no longer be tracked and your vehicle may accelerate to the set speed).
-
Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads (Tyres could spin causing you to lose vehicle control, or the stop hold control may not operate.)
-
Long, descending slopes (to maintain distance between vehicles, the system automatically and continuously applies the brakes which could result in the loss of brake power.)
-
Slopes with a steep gradient (The vehicle ahead may not be detected correctly, your vehicle may slide while stopped by the stop hold control, and it may accelerate suddenly after it starts moving.)
For safety purposes, switch the MRCC system off when it is not being used.
If your vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the MRCC system off to prevent a miss-operation.
-
The MRCC system does not detect the following as physical objects.
-
Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction
-
Pedestrians
-
Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
-
If a vehicle ahead is travelling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it correctly.
-
-
During headway control travel, do not set the system for detection of two-wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles.
-
Do not use the MRCC system under conditions in which close proximity warnings are frequently activated.
-
During headway control travel, the system accelerates and decelerates your vehicle in conjunction with the speed of the vehicle ahead. However, if it is necessary to accelerate for a lane change or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly causing you to close in on the vehicle rapidly, accelerate using the accelerator pedal or decelerate using the brake pedal depending on the conditions.
-
While the MRCC system is in use, it does not cancel even if the shift lever is operated and any intended engine braking will not occur. If deceleration is required, lower the vehicle speed setting or depress the brake pedal.
-
The sound of the automatic brakes operating may be heard, however, it does not indicate a problem.
-
The brake lights turn on while the MRCC automatic braking is operating, however, they may not turn on while the vehicle is on a downslope at the set vehicle speed or travelling at a constant speed and following a vehicle ahead.
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) Display Indication
The MRCC setting status and operation conditions are indicated on the multi-information display and the active driving display.
If there is a problem with the MRCC system, a message is displayed on the multi-information display. Check the centre display to verify the problem and then have your vehicle inspected by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Refer to Message Indicated on Display (Search).
Close Proximity Warning
If your vehicle rapidly closes in on the vehicle ahead because the vehicle ahead applies the brakes suddenly while you are travelling in headway control, the warning sound activates and the brake warning is indicated in the display. Always verify the safety of the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal while keeping a safer distance from the vehicle ahead. Additionally, keep a safer distance from the vehicles behind you.
In the following cases, the warnings and brakes may not operate even if your vehicle starts closing in on the vehicle ahead.

How to change the set vehicle speed
To accelerate/decelerate using the SET switch
When you press the SET switch, the vehicle accelerates and when you press the SET switch, it decelerates.
|
European models |
Except European models |
|
|---|---|---|
|
Short press |
1 km/h (1 mph) |
5 km/h (5 mph) |
|
Long press |
10 km/h (5 mph) |
|
For example, the set vehicle speed is changed by pressing the SET switch 4 times as follows:
(European models)
The vehicle speed accelerates or decelerates by 4 km/h (4 mph).
(Except European models)
The vehicle speed accelerates or decelerates by 20 km/h (20 mph).
To increase speed using accelerator pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press and release the SET switch or SET switch at the desired speed. If the switch is not operated, the system returns to the set speed after you release your foot from the accelerator pedal.

-
The setting speed can be changed by operating the SET
switch or SET switch during stop hold control. -
When accelerating using the SET
switch while in headway control, the set vehicle speed can be adjusted but acceleration is not possible. If there is no longer a vehicle ahead, acceleration continues until reaching the set vehicle speed. For the set vehicle speed, check the set vehicle speed indication in the display. -
When depressing the accelerator pedal, the inter-vehicle distance indication in the display changes to the white-line indication.
-
(European models)
When switching to a passing lane and operating the direction indicator, the system provides more acceleration automatically if it determines that more acceleration is required. Drive while being careful of the road ahead because you could approach the vehicle ahead too closely.
Cancelling the system

Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) (Some Models)
The SCBS R is a system which is designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the system’s ultrasonic sensors detect an obstruction at the rear of the vehicle while driving at a speed of about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph) and the system determines that a collision is unavoidable.
Do not rely completely on the SCBS R system:
-
The SCBS R system is only designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision. Over reliance on the system leading to the accelerator pedal or brake pedal being mistakenly operated could result in an accident.
-
To assure the correct operation of the SCBS R, heed the following cautions.
-
Do not apply a sticker to an ultrasonic sensor (rear) (including transparent stickers). Otherwise, the ultrasonic sensor (rear) may not be able to detect vehicles or obstructions which could result in an accident.
-
Do not disassemble an ultrasonic sensor (rear).
-
If cracks or damage caused by flying gravel or debris is visible around an ultrasonic sensor (rear), stop using the SCBS R system immediately and have your vehicle inspected by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer. If the vehicle continues to be driven with cracks or scratch marks left around an ultrasonic sensor, the system may operate unnecessarily and cause an unexpected accident.
Refer to Stopping the Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) System Operation (Search).
-
Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer for rear bumper replacement.
-
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the SCBS R system may not operate correctly because it cannot detect obstructions correctly.
Do not apply a strong force to an ultrasonic sensor (rear):
When washing the vehicle, do not spray highly pressurised water against an ultrasonic sensor (rear), or rub it strongly. In addition, do not hit the rear bumper forcefully when loading and unloading cargo Otherwise, the sensors may not detect obstructions correctly which could cause the SCBS R system to not operate normally, or it could operate unnecessarily.
-
When driving off-road in areas where there is grass or foliage, it is recommended that the SCBS R system be turned off.
-
Always use tyres of the specified size and the same manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern on all 4 wheels. In addition, do not use tyres with significantly different wear patterns on the same vehicle. Otherwise, the SCBS R system may not operate normally.
-
If ice or snow is stuck on the ultrasonic sensors (rear) they may not be able to detect obstructions correctly depending on the conditions. In such cases, the system may not be able to perform controls correctly. Always drive carefully and pay attention to the rear of the vehicle.
-
The vehicle posture changes depending on the accelerator pedal, brake pedal and steering wheel operations, which could make it difficult for the system to recognise an obstruction, or it could facilitate unnecessary detection. In such cases, the SCBS R may or may not operate.
-
The SCBS R system will operate under the following conditions.
-
The engine is running.
-
The change lever (manual transaxle vehicle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle vehicle) is in the R (reverse) position.

-
The vehicle speed is between about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph).
-
The SCBS R is not turned off.
-
The DSC is not malfunctioning.
-
-
The SCBS R operates using ultrasonic sensors (rear) which detect obstructions at the rear by emitting ultrasonic waves and then receiving the returning waves reflected off the obstructions.
-
In the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions and the SCBS R may not operate.
-
The height of the obstruction is low such as low walls or trucks with low loading platforms.
-
The height of the obstruction is high such as trucks with high loading platforms.
-
The obstruction is small.
-
The obstruction is thin such as a signpost.
-
The obstruction is positioned away from the centre of the vehicle.
-
The surface of the obstruction is not pointed vertically relative to the vehicle.
-
The obstruction is soft such as a hanging curtain or snow stuck to a vehicle.
-
The obstruction is shaped irregularly.
-

Smart Brake Support (SBS) (Some Models)
The SBS system alerts the driver of a possible collision using a display and warning sound if the radar sensor (front) and the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determine that there is the possibility of a collision with a vehicle ahead while the vehicle is being driven at about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster). Furthermore, if the radar sensor (front) and the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines that a collision is unavoidable, the automatic brake control is performed to reduce damage in the event of a collision.
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS brake assist))
Do not rely completely on the SBS system and always drive carefully:
The SBS is designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision, not avoid an accident. The ability to detect an obstruction is limited depending on the obstruction, weather conditions, or traffic conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator pedal or brake pedal is mistakenly operated it could result in 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.
In the following cases, turn the system off to prevent a mis-operation:
-
The vehicle is being towed or when towing another vehicle.
