• The headway control 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.

• If there is a structure on the road or an object (such as a monorail) at a low height off the ground in front of the vehicle, the system may operate. Therefore, do not use the CTS.

• Do not use the CTS under conditions in which close proximity warnings are frequently activated.

• If it is necessary to accelerate for a lane change or 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 CTS is in use, any intended engine braking does not occur even if you shift the shift lever (manual transmission) or the selector lever (automatic transmission). If deceleration is required, lower the vehicle speed setting or depress the brake pedal.

• While braking by the CTS control is operating, you might hear an operation sound, however, this does not indicate a problem.

• The brake lights turn on while braking by the CTS control is operating, however, they may not turn on while the vehicle is on a down slope at the set vehicle speed or travelling at a constant speed and following a vehicle ahead.

• Under the following conditions, the CTS may not be able to detect white (yellow) lines or vehicles ahead correctly and the CTS may not operate normally.

  • The forward sensing camera (FSC) cannot recognise the area in front of the vehicle due to soiling or fog.

  • The white (yellow) lane lines are less visible because of dirt or paint flaking.

  • White (yellow) lane lines or vehicles ahead are 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 might be multiple white (yellow) lane lines, or they are interrupted.

  • The camera picks up an obscure line, such as a temporary line being used for construction, or because of shade, unmelted snow, or grooves filled with water.

  • The road surface is wet and shiny after rain, or there are puddles on the road.

  • Heavy luggage is loaded in the boot/luggage compartment or on the rear seat causing the vehicle to tilt.

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

  • The windscreen is dirty or foggy.

  • The vehicle is driven through an intersection, a junction, or a fork in the road.

  • While white (yellow) lane lines cannot be detected due to road or weather conditions.

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

Steering assist limit warning

If the steering assist function cannot keep the vehicle within the lane lines while the steering assist function is operating, a warning sound is activated and a warning is displayed on the multi-information display to urge the driver to operate the steering wheel.

You can view the multi-information display to check whether the steering assist is performing controls in conjunction with the traffic lane lines or a vehicle ahead.

Inactive

Active (vehicle ahead)

Active (lane line)

In the following cases, the warnings and brakes may not operate even if your vehicle starts closing in on the vehicle ahead.

• You are driving your vehicle at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.

• Directly after the CTS operates.

• Directly after the accelerator pedal is released.

• Another vehicle cuts into the driving lane in front of you.

  • There is a problem with the stop hold control function.

  • There is a problem with the Electric Parking Brake (EPB).

• The CTS may not launch directly after the engine starts.

The steering assist function operates so that the vehicle remains near the centre of the driving lane, however, depending on conditions such as the road curvature, road slope and undulations, and vehicle speed, the function might not be able to keep the vehicle near the centre of the driving lane.

• 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 your vehicle's set speed. Adjust the system to the desired vehicle speed using the accelerator pedal.

• When the ignition is switched OFF, the system status before it was turned off is maintained. For example, if the ignition is switched OFF with the CTS operable, the CTS remains operational the next time the ignition is switched ON.

• When the CTS is operating, the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS), Distance & Speed Alert (DSA), and Smart Brake Support (SBS) also turns on automatically.

• When the CTS switch is pressed while the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) or the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) system is operating, the CTS operates. In addition, when the MRCC switch is pressed while the CTS is operating, the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) or the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) system operates.

• The warnings and brake control do not operate while depressing the accelerator pedal.

• The lowest possible speed which can be set on the CTS is 30 km/h (19 mph).

• 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.

• (Automatic transmission vehicle)

  The vehicle speed setting can be changed by operating the RES switch during stop hold control.

• 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, the set distance-between-vehicles is taken over automatically even when the engine is started again.

If you take your hands off the steering wheel (not holding the steering wheel), the warning sound is activated and an alert is indicated on the multi-information display and the active driving display.

Multi-information display

Active driving display

If the steering wheel is held lightly, or depending on the road conditions, the system determines that you have released the steering wheel (not holding the steering wheel) even if you are holding it, and an alert is indicated on the multi-information display and the active driving display.

• If the set speed is not indicated on the display, the system does not operate even if the RES switch is pressed.

• After the operation, the steering assist operation may not operate for a period of 5 seconds at the most until the lane lines are detected or a vehicle ahead is recognised.

• If the gears are not shifted up even though the shift-up request indication is displayed, load will be applied to the engine and the CTS might be automatically cancelled or engine damage could occur.

• If the gears are not shifted down even though the shift-down request indication is displayed, the CTS might be automatically cancelled or engine stalling could occur.

• Even if the CTS is temporarily cancelled during stop hold control, the vehicle is held in its stopped position.

• The parking brake is automatically applied and the vehicle is held in its stopped position when 10 minutes or longer have passed since the stop hold control operated. When this occurs, the CTS is temporarily cancelled.

• If the i-stop operation conditions are met during stop hold control, the engine stops even though the brake pedal is not depressed.

  Refer to i-stop (Search).

• The brake lights turn on during stop hold control.

• When you resume driving by pressing the RES switch, your vehicle does not start moving until the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead lengthens to the specified distance or farther.

• The engine restarts automatically when any of the actions to resume driving are performed while i-stop is operating.

• If the CTS is temporarily cancelled during stop hold control, you cannot resume driving by pressing the RES switch when there are no vehicles in front of your vehicle. Depress the accelerator pedal and resume driving the vehicle.

• If the vehicle ahead starts moving within 3 seconds after your vehicle is stopped by the stop hold control, headway control will continue even if you do not resume driving your vehicle, such as by depressing the accelerator pedal.

The system may not operate normally under the following conditions.

• The white (yellow) lane lines are less visible because of dirt or paint flaking.

If the i-ACTIVSENSE status symbol (warning/risk avoidance support system) (white) does not turn on, the system is cancelled using the i-ACTIVSENSE switch or the personalisation feature.

When the system does not detect a white (yellow) lane line on one side only, the system does not operate on the side that is not being detected.

When the driver operates the steering wheel while the steering wheel operation assist is operating, the steering wheel operation assistance is cancelled.

If the ignition is switched OFF while you have cancelled the system using the i-ACTIVSENSE switch, the system is automatically enabled the next time the ignition is switched ON. However, if the system is cancelled using the personalisation features, the system is not automatically enabled.

The ISA operates only when the navigation system's SD card (Mazda genuine) is inserted.

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 ISA is operating, the system will be operable when the ignition is switched ON the next time.
