i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE (Some Models)
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.
Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer driving by helping the driver to recognize potential hazards and avert accidents.
Driver awareness support systems
Nighttime visibility
Left/right side and rear side detection
Road sign recognition
Inter-vehicle distance recognition
Rear obstruction detection when leaving a parking space
Full-surround recognition
Driver support systems
Inter-vehicle distance
Lane departure
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
Collision damage reduction in medium/high speed range
Camera and Sensors
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects lane indications and recognizes headlights, taillights and city lights during nighttime driving. In addition, it also detects the vehicle ahead, pedestrians, or obstructions. The following systems also use the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
-
High Beam Control system (HBC)
-
Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
-
Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
-
Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function)
-
Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)
-
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
-
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed at the top of the windshield near the rearview mirror.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) (Search).
Radar sensor (front)
The radar sensor (front) functions by detecting the radio waves reflected off a vehicle ahead sent from the radar sensor. The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).
-
Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function)
-
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
-
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the radiator grille.
Refer to Radar Sensor (Front) (Search).
Radar sensors (rear)
The radar sensors (rear) function by detecting the radio waves reflected off a vehicle approaching from the rear or an obstruction sent from the radar sensors. The following systems also use the radar sensors (rear).
-
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
-
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
The radar sensors (rear) are installed inside the rear bumper, one each on the left and right sides.
Refer to Radar Sensors (Rear) (Search).
Front camera/side cameras/rear view camera
The front camera, side cameras, and rear camera shoot images of the area surrounding the vehicle. The 360° View Monitor uses each camera.
Cameras are installed to the front bumper, door mirrors, and liftgate.
Refer to Front Camera/Side Cameras/Rear Camera (Search).
