i-ACTIVSENSE

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

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.

• The BSM will operate when all of the following conditions are met:

  • The ignition is switched ON.

  • The BSM OFF indicator light in the instrument cluster is turned off.

  • The vehicle speed is about 10 km/h (6.3 mph) or faster.

• The BSM will not operate under the following circumstances.

  • The vehicle speed falls below about 8 km/h (5 mph) even though the BSM OFF switch indicator light is turned off.

  • The selector lever is shifted to R position and the vehicle is reversing.

  • The turning radius is small (making a sharp turn, turning at intersections).

• In the following cases, the BSM OFF indicator light turns on and operation of the system is stopped. If the BSM OFF indicator light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as possible.

  • Some problem with the system including the BSM warning indicator lights is detected.

  • A large deviation in the installation position of a radar sensor (rear) on the vehicle has occurred.

  • There is a large accumulation of snow or ice on the rear bumper near a radar sensor (rear). Remove any snow, ice or mud on the rear bumper.

  • Driving on snow-covered roads for long periods.

  • The temperature near the radar sensors (rear) becomes extremely hot due to driving for long periods on slopes during the summer.

  • The battery voltage has decreased.

• Under the following conditions, the radar sensors (rear) cannot detect target objects or it may be difficult to detect them.

  • A vehicle is in the detection area at the rear in an adjacent driving lane but it does not approach. The BSM determines the condition based on radar detection data.

  • A vehicle is travelling alongside your vehicle at nearly the same speed for an extended period of time.

  • Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.

  • A vehicle in an adjacent driving lane is attempting to pass your vehicle.

  • A vehicle is in an adjacent lane on a road with extremely wide driving lanes. The detection area of the radar sensors (rear) is set at the road width of expressways.

• In the following case, the flashing of the BSM warning indicator light, and the activation of the warning sound and the warning screen indicator display may not occur or they may be delayed.

  • A vehicle makes a lane change from a driving lane 2 lanes over to an adjacent lane.

  • Driving on steep slopes.

  • Crossing the summit of a hill or mountain pass.

  • When there is a difference in the height between your driving lane and the adjacent lane.

  • Directly after the BSM system becomes operable by changing the setting.

• If the road width is extremely narrow, vehicles 2 lanes over may be detected. The detection area of the radar sensors (rear) is set according to the road width of expressways.

• The BSM warning indicator light may turn on and the vehicle detection screen may be displayed in the display in reaction to stationary objects (guardrails, tunnels, sidewalls, and parked vehicles) on the road or the roadside.

  

• A BSM warning indicator light may flash or the warning beep and the warning screen indicator display may be activated several times when making a turn at a city intersection.

• Turn off the BSM while pulling a trailer or while an accessory such as a bicycle carrier is installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the radar’s radio waves will be blocked causing the system to not operate normally.

• In the following cases, it may be difficult to view the illumination/flashing of the BSM warning indicator lights equipped on the door mirrors.

  • Snow or ice is adhering to the door mirrors.

  • The front door glass is fogged or covered in snow, frost or dirt.

• The system switches to the Rear Cross Traffic Alert function when the selector lever is shifted to the reverse (R) position.

  Refer to Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) (Search).

• The TSR is not supported in some countries or regions. For information concerning the supported countries or regions, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

• The TSR operates only if the navigation system SD card (Mazda genuine) is inserted in the SD card slot. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer for details.

• The TSR does not operate if there is a malfunction in the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).

• Under the following conditions, the TSR may not operate normally.

  • An object placed on the instrument panel is reflected in the windscreen and picked up by the camera.

  • Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat and the vehicle is tilted.

  • The tyre pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.

  • Tyres other than standard tyres are equipped.

  • The vehicle is driven on the ramp and surrounding area to or from a rest area or a tollgate on a highway.

  • When surrounding brightness suddenly changes such as when entering or exiting a tunnel.

  • The illumination of the headlights is weakened because of dirt or the optical axis is deviated.

  • The windscreen is dirty or foggy.

  • The windscreen and camera are fogged (water droplets).

  • Strong light is directed at the front of the vehicle (such as backlight or high-beam headlights of on-coming vehicles).

  • The vehicle is making a sharp turn.

  • Strong light reflects off the road.

  • A traffic sign is in a position which makes it difficult to reflect the light from the vehicle's headlights, such as when the vehicle is driven at night or in a tunnel.

  • The vehicle is driven under weather conditions such as rain, fog, or snow.

  • The stored map data for the navigation system is not current.

  • A traffic sign is obscured by mud or snow.

  • A traffic sign is concealed by trees or a vehicle.

  • A traffic sign is partially shaded.

  • A traffic sign is bent or warped.

  • A traffic sign is too bright or too dark (including electronic traffic signs).

  • A traffic sign is too big or too small.

  • There is an object similar to the traffic sign being read (such as another traffic sign or other signs resembling it).

• When the direction indicator lever is operated for a lane change, the LAS & LDWS is automatically disabled. The LAS & LDWS becomes operational again when the direction indicator lever is returned and the system detects white (yellow) lane lines while the vehicle is being driven normally within its vehicle lane.

• If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the vehicle moves close to a white (yellow) line, the system determines that the driver is making a lane change and the LAS & LDWS operation is temporarily cancelled. The LAS & LDWS becomes operational again when the system detects white (yellow) lane lines while the vehicle is being driven normally within its vehicle lane.

• If the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly within a short period of time, the LAS & LDWS may not operate.

• When white (yellow) lane lines are not detected, the LAS & LDWS does not operate.

• Under the following conditions, the LAS & LDWS may not be able to detect white (yellow) lane lines correctly and it may not operate normally.

  • If an object placed on the instrument panel is reflected in the windscreen and picked up by the camera.

  • The white (yellow) lane lines are less visible because of dirt or fading/patchiness.

  • A vehicle in front of your vehicle is running near a white (yellow) lane line making it less visible.

  • A white (yellow) lane line is less visible because of bad weather (rain, fog, or snow).

  • The vehicle is driven on a temporary lane or section with a closed lane resulting from construction where there may be multiple white (yellow) lane lines or they are interrupted.

  • A misleading line is picked up on the road such as a temporary line for construction, or because of shade, lingering snow, or grooves filled with water.

  • The surrounding brightness suddenly changes such as when entering or exiting a tunnel.
