The LDWS alerts the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane. If the white (yellow) lines on the traffic lane are detected using the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and the system determines that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane, it notifies the driver by flashing the LDWS warning light and activating the LDWS warning beep, and by the multi-information display (vehicles with multi-information display) and the active driving display (vehicles with active driving display).
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (Search).
Use the LDWS when you drive the vehicle on roads with white (yellow) lines.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS), refer to the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) (Search).
The warning light flashes when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights (Search).
Do not use the LDWS under the following conditions:
The system may not operate adequately according to the actual driving conditions, resulting in an accident.
Driving on roads with tight curves.
Driving under bad weather conditions (rain, fog, and snow).
The functions of the LDWS have limitations:
Always stay on course using the steering wheel and drive with care. The system is not designed to compensate for a driver’s lack of caution and if you rely too much on the LDWS it could lead to an accident. The driver is responsible for assuring lane changes and other manoeuvres. Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is travelling and the vehicle’s surroundings.
Do not modify the suspension. If the vehicle height or the damping force of the suspensions is changed, the LDWS may not operate correctly.
If your vehicle deviates from its traffic lane, the LDWS operates (warning sound and indicator light). Steer the vehicle adequately to drive the vehicle to the centre of the lane.
When the direction indicator lever is operated for a lane change, the LDWS warning is automatically cancelled. The LDWS warning becomes operable when the direction indicator lever is returned and the system detects the white or yellow lines.
If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the vehicle moves close to a white or yellow line, the system determines that the driver is making a lane change and the LDWS warning is automatically cancelled.
The LDWS may not operate during the period immediately after the vehicle has deviated from its lane and the LDWS has operated, or the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly within a short period of time.
The LDWS does not operate if it does not detect the white or yellow lines of the traffic lane.
Under the following conditions, the LDWS may not be able to detect white or yellow lines correctly and the LDWS may not operate correctly.
If 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 inclined.
The tyre pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.
When the vehicle is driven on the entry and exit to or from the rest area or tollgate of a highway.
The white or yellow lines are less visible because of dirt or paint flaking.
The vehicle ahead is running near a white or yellow line and the line is less visible.
A white or yellow 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 due to construction.
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.
The illumination of the headlights is weakened because of dirt or the optical axis is deviated.
The windscreen is dirty or foggy.
Back-light is reflecting from the road surface.
The road surface is wet and shiny after rain, or there are puddles on the road.
The shade of a guardrail parallel to a white or yellow line is on the road.
The width of a lane is excessively narrow or wide.
The road is excessively uneven.
The vehicle is shaken after hitting a road bump.
There are two or more adjacent white or yellow lines.
There are various road markings or lane markings of various shapes near an intersection.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) is designed to assist the driver in checking the area to the rear of the vehicle on both sides during lane changes by notifying the driver of the presence of vehicles approaching from the rear in an adjacent lane.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) detects vehicles approaching from the rear while travelling in the forward direction at a speed of 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster and notifies the driver by turning on the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light and displaying the vehicle detection screen (vehicles with active driving display).
If the direction indicator lever is operated to signal a turn in the direction in which the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light is illuminated while the approaching vehicle is detected, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) notifies the driver of possible danger by turning on the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light, and by activating the warning sound and the warning screen indicator display (vehicles with active driving display).
The detection area on this system covers the driving lanes on both sides of the vehicle and from the rear part of the front doors to about 50 m (164 ft) behind the vehicle.
Always check the surrounding area visually before making an actual lane change:
The system is only designed to assist you in checking for vehicles at your rear when making a lane change. Due to certain limitations with the operation of this system, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light, the warning sound and the warning screen indicator display may not activate or they might be delayed even though a vehicle is in an adjacent driving lane. Always make it your responsibility as a driver to check the rear.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) will operate when all of the following conditions are met:
The ignition is switched ON.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light in the instrument cluster is turned off.
The vehicle speed is about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) will not operate under the following circumstances.
The vehicle speed falls below about 25 km/h (15 mph) even though the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch indicator light is turned off.
The shift lever (manual transaxle)/selector lever (automatic transaxle) is shifted to reverse (R) and the vehicle is reversing.
In the following cases, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indication/warning light turns on and operation of the system is stopped. If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indication/warning light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as possible.
Some problem with the system including the Blind Spot Monitoring (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 Blind Spot Monitoring (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 Blind Spot Monitoring (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 two lanes over to an adjacent lane.
Driving on steep slopes.
Crossing the summit of a hill or mountain pass.
The turning radius is small (making a sharp turn, turning at intersections).
When there is a difference in the height between your driving lane and the adjacent lane.
Directly after pressing the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch and the system becomes operable.
If the road width is extremely narrow, vehicles two lanes over may be detected. The detection area of the radar sensors (rear) is set according to the road width of expressways.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (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 Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light may flash or the warning beep may be activated several times when making a turn at a city intersection.
Turn off the Blind Spot Monitoring (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 Blind Spot Monitoring (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 shift lever (manual transaxle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) is shifted to the reverse (R) position.
Refer to Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) (Search).
The Blind Spot Monitoring (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 Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light, the warning sound and the display indicator (vehicles with active driving display) while the systems are operational.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights
The Blind Spot Monitoring (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 (Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) operation)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) detects vehicles approaching from the rear and turns on the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights equipped on the door mirrors according to the conditions. Additionally, while a Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light is illuminated, if the direction indicator lever is operated to signal a turn in the direction in which the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light is illuminated, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light flashes.
Reverse driving (Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system operation)
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system detects vehicles approaching from the left and right of your vehicle and flashes the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights.
Function for cancelling illumination dimmer
If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights turn on when the position lights are turned on, the brightness of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights is dimmed.
If the Blind Spot Monitoring (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 Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights when they turn on.
Refer to Instrument Panel Illumination (Search).
Display indicator (Vehicles with active driving display)
The detected approaching vehicle and warning are displayed in the active driving display when the vehicle is moving forward (Blind Spot Monitoring (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.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning beep
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning beep is activated simultaneously with the flashing of a Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems are turned off and the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light in the instrument cluster turns on.
Vehicles with Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) switch
When the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) switch is pressed, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems are turned off and the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light in the instrument cluster turns on.
If the switch is pressed again, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems become operable and the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light turns off.
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 Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems are operable, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems remain operable the next time the ignition is switched ON.
Vehicles without Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) switch
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system can be set to inoperable.
Refer to Personalisation Features (Search).
When the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) is set to inoperable, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems are turned off and the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light in the instrument cluster turns on.
If the engine is stopped while the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) is turned off, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) becomes operable the next time the engine is started.
When the MODE switch is pressed, the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) main indication (white) turns on and the vehicle speed and the distance between vehicles while in headway control can be set.
When the ignition is switched to ACC or OFF while the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) is ON, the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) remains ON automatically.
When the MODE switch is pressed while the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is turned on, the system switches to the cruise control function.
How to Set the Speed
Adjust the vehicle speed to the desired setting using the accelerator pedal.
Headway control begins when the SET or SET

If a vehicle ahead is detected while travelling at a constant speed, the vehicle-ahead indication is displayed and headway control is performed. Additionally, when a vehicle ahead is no longer detected, the vehicle-ahead indication turns off and the system switches back to travel at constant speed.
Headway control is not possible if the vehicle ahead is driving faster than the set speed. Adjust the system to the desired vehicle speed using the accelerator pedal.
(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.
How to Set the Distance Between Vehicles During Headway Control
The distance between vehicles is set to a shorter distance each time the switch is pressed. The distance between vehicles is set to a longer distance by pressing the
switch. The distance-between-vehicles can be set to 4 levels; Long, medium, short, and extremely short distance.
Distance-between-vehicles guideline (at 80 km/h (50 mph) vehicle speed) |

The distance between vehicles differs depending on the vehicle speed, and the slower the vehicle speed, the shorter the distance.
When the ignition is switched to ACC or OFF and then the engine is started again, the system automatically sets the distance between vehicles to the previous setting.
Changing the Set Vehicle Speed
Changing the set vehicle speed using the SET switch
Press the SET switch to accelerate.
Press the SET switch to decelerate.
The set vehicle speed changes as follows each time the SET switch is pressed.
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 four 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 accelerate using the accelerator pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press and release the SET or SET
switch at the desired speed. If a switch cannot be operated, the system returns to the set speed when you release your foot from the accelerator pedal.
The warnings and brake control do not operate while the accelerator pedal is depressed.
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. Check the set vehicle speed by viewing the set vehicle speed display in the active driving display.
When depressing the accelerator pedal, the inter-vehicle distance display in the active driving display changes to the white-line display.
The minimum settable speed is 30 km/h (19 mph). If the set vehicle speed reaches 30 km/h (19 mph) using the switch operation, constant speed travel is maintained at about 30 km/h (19 mph) even if the SET switch is pressed. The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is not cancelled.
To Deactivate
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) is deactivated when the OFF/CAN switch is pressed twice.
When the system is temporarily cancelled
In the following cases, the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) is temporarily cancelled, the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) set indication (green) is turned off, and the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) main indication (white) is turned on.
The OFF/CAN switch is pressed once.

If you have temporarily cancelled the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC), you can return to your previously set speed by pressing the RES switch and after all of the operation conditions have been met.
If the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is deactivated, the system does not return to the previously set speed even if the RES switch is pressed.
If the system determines that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, the lane departure warning (beep sound, rumble sound*1, or steering wheel vibration) is activated and the direction in which the system determines that the vehicle may deviate is indicated in the multi-information display or the active driving display.
For vehicles equipped with the multi-information display, the direction which the system determined that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane is indicated in the multi-information display.
For vehicles equipped with the active driving display, the colour of the lane line in the direction which the system determined that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane changes from white to amber and the vehicle lane line flashes.
If you have set the lane departure warning sound to the beep sound/rumble sound*1 setting, the warning sound may not be heard depending on the surrounding noise conditions.
If you have set the lane departure warning system to the steering wheel vibrations setting, the vibration may not be felt depending on the road surface conditions.
When the setting for the steering operation assist is changed to operational, the warnings can be set to activate/not activate. (When the setting for the steering operation assist is changed to non-operational, the warnings cannot be set to not activate.)
Refer to Setting Change (Personalisation Features) (Search).
The Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) can be changed to the following settings regardless of whether the steering operation assist has been set to operational/non-operational. Always check the setting status when driving the vehicle and make setting changes if necessary.
Refer to Setting Change (Personalisation Features) (Search).
Steering wheel vibration: Strong/weak
Warning sound volume
Types of warnings (steering wheel vibration/beep sound/rumble sound*1)
A rumble strip is a series of grooves in the road pavement surface positioned at specific intervals, and when the vehicle passes over it a vibration and rumble sound is produced which alerts the driver that the vehicle is departing from the lane.
The rumble sound is a reproduction of the sound which occurs when a vehicle passes over a rumble strip.
The adjustable speed limiter is a function to prevent the vehicle from being driven at a vehicle speed faster than a set speed. The vehicle speed is controlled to kept it below the set speed even if the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The adjustable speed limiter can be set between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 200 km/h (125 mph). The vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when the vehicle is driven on a down slope, however, the system notifies the driver by flashing the display and operating a warning sound.
Always turn off the system when changing drivers:
If the driver is changed and the new driver is unaware of the adjustable speed limiter function, the vehicle may not accelerate when the driver depresses the accelerator pedal, leading to an accident.
The system consists of the adjustable speed limiter display and the speed limiter switch on the steering wheel.
The indicator light has two colours.
Adjustable speed limiter main indicator light (amber)
The indicator light illuminates amber when the MODE switch is pressed and the adjustable speed limiter is activated.
Adjustable speed limiter set indicator light (green)
The indicator light illuminates green when a speed has been set.
Always verify the safety of the surrounding area when setting the adjustable speed limiter:
If the speed is set lower than the current vehicle speed, the vehicle speed is decreased to the set speed. Verify the safety of the surrounding area and keep a safer distance between vehicles ahead and behind you.
Press the MODE switch to turn the system on.
(With cruise control)
Press the SET to set the speed. When the current vehicle speed is 30 km/h (20 mph) or more, the speed is set to the current vehicle speed. When the current vehicle speed is less than 30 km/h (20 mph), the speed is set to 30 km/h (20 mph).
