• There are water puddles on the road.

• The surroundings are dark such as during the night, early evening, or early morning, or in a tunnel or indoor parking lot.

• The illumination brightness of the headlights is reduced or the headlight illumination is weakened due to dirt or a deviated optical axis.

• The target object enters the blind spot of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).

• A person or object bursts onto the road from the shoulder or cuts right in front of you.

• You change lanes and approach a vehicle ahead.

• When driving extremely close to the target object.

• Tire chains or a temporary spare tire is installed.

• The vehicle ahead has a special shape. For example, a vehicle towing a trailer house or a boat, or a vehicle carrier carrying a vehicle with its front pointed rearward.

If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cannot operate normally due to backlight or fog, the system functions related to the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) are temporarily stopped and the following warning lights turn on. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.

• High Beam Control System (HBC) warning light (amber)

• Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) warning indication

• Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) warning indication

• Smart Brake Support/Smart City Brake Support (SBS/SCBS) warning indication (amber)

If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cannot operate normally due to high temperatures, the system functions related to the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) are temporarily stopped and the following warning lights turn on. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. Cool down the area around the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) such as by turning on the air conditioner.

If there are recognizable cracks or damage caused by flying gravel or debris on the windshield, always have the windshield replaced. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for replacement.

(With Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS))

• The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognizes pedestrians when all of the following conditions are met:

  • The height of a pedestrian is about 1 to 2 meters.

  • An outline such as the head, both shoulders, or the legs can be determined.

• In the following cases, the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) may not be able to detect target objects correctly:

  • Multiple pedestrians are walking, or there are groups of people.

  • A pedestrian is close to a separate object.

  • A pedestrian is crouching, lying, or slouching.

  • A pedestrian suddenly jumps into the road right in front of the vehicle.

  • A pedestrian opens an umbrella, or is carrying large baggage or articles.

  • A pedestrian is in a dark location such as during the night, or blends into the background by wearing clothes matching the background color.

Under the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect vehicles ahead or obstructions correctly and each system may not operate normally.

• The rear surface of a vehicle ahead does not reflect radio waves effectively, such as an unloaded trailer or an automobile with a loading platform covered by a soft top, vehicles with a hard plastic tailgate, and round-shaped vehicles.

• Vehicles ahead with low vehicle height and thus less area for reflecting radio waves.

• Visibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead casting off water, snow, or sand from its tires and onto your windshield.

• The luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger seats are occupied.

• Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front surface of the front emblem.

• During inclement weather such as rain, snow, or sand storms.

• When driving near facilities or objects emitting strong radio waves.

Under the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect vehicles ahead or obstructions.

• The beginning and end of a curve.

• Roads with continuous curves.

• Narrow lane roads due to road construction or lane closures.

• The vehicle ahead enters the radar sensor's blind spot.

• The vehicle ahead is running abnormally due to accident or vehicle damage.

• Roads with repeated up and down slopes

• Driving on poor roads or unpaved roads.

• The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely short.

• A vehicle suddenly comes close such as by cutting into the lane.

To prevent incorrect operation of the system, use tires of the same specified size, manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern on all four wheels. In addition, do not use tires with significantly different wear patterns or tire pressures on the same vehicle (Including the temporary spare tire).

If the battery power is weak, the system may not operate correctly.

When driving on roads with little traffic and few vehicles ahead or obstructions for the radar sensor (front) to detect, “Front Radar Sensor Blocked” may be temporarily displayed, however, this does not indicate a problem.

The radar sensors are regulated by the relevant radio wave laws of the country in which the vehicle is driven. If the vehicle is driven abroad, authorization from the country in which the vehicle is driven may be required.
