i-ACTIVSENSE

The timing in which the system switches the headlights changes under the following conditions. If the system does not switch the headlights appropriately, manually switch between high and low beams according to the visibility as well as road and traffic conditions.

• When there are 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 turn or hilly terrain.

• When the headlights/rear lamps of vehicles in front of you 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 in front of you spraying water from its tyres onto your windscreen.

• 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 low or too high.

  • 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).

• The TSR does not operate if the active driving display is set to non-display.

• The TSR can be set to inoperable.

  Refer to Personalisation Features (Search).

• The DAA operates when all of the following conditions are met.

  • The vehicle speed is about 65 to 140 km/h (41 to 86 mph).

  • The system detects white (yellow) lane lines.

  • The system has completed learning of the driver’s driving data.

• The DAA does not operate under the following conditions.

  • The vehicle speed is less than about 65 km/h (41 mph).

  • The vehicle speed exceeds about 140 km/h (86 mph)

  • The vehicle is making a sharp turn.

  • The vehicle is changing lanes.

  • The system cannot detect white (yellow) lane lines.

• The DAA may not operate normally under the following conditions.

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

  • The vehicle is jolted or swayed continuously by strong winds or rough roads.

  • The vehicle is driven aggressively.

  • When making frequent lane changes.

• The DAA detects driver fatigue and decreased attentiveness based on the driving data when the vehicle is driven at about 65 to 140 km/h (41 to 86 mph) for about 20 minutes. The driving data will be reset under the following conditions.

  • The vehicle is stopped for 15 minutes or longer.

  • The vehicle is driven at less than about 65 km/h (41 mph) for about 30 minutes.

  • The ignition is switched off.

• After the DAA has displayed the first message encouraging rest, it does not display the next one until 45 minutes have passed.

• In the following cases, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF Indicator Light turns on and operation of the system is stopped. If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF Indicator Light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorised Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

  • Some problem with the system including the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights has occurred.

  • 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).

  • Driving on snow-covered roads for long periods.

  • The temperature near the radar sensors 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.

  • The vehicle speed when reversing is about 10 km/h (6 mph) or faster.

  • The radar sensor (rear) detection area is obstructed by a nearby wall or parked vehicle. (Reverse the vehicle to a position where the radar sensor detection area is no longer obstructed.)

    

  • A vehicle is approaching directly from the rear of your vehicle.

    

  • The vehicle is parked on a slant.

    

  • Directly after the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system becomes operable using the personalisation feature.

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

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