Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) (Some Models)
The adaptive front lighting system (AFS) automatically adjusts the headlight beams to the left or right in conjunction with the operation of the steering wheel after the headlights have been turned on.
A system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Contact Authorized Mazda Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected (Search).
The Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) function can be switched to operable/inoperable using the personalization function.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) (Some Models)
The DRSS measures the distance between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar sensor (front) while the vehicle speed is about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster, and if your vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely than what is appropriate for maintaining distance between the vehicles according to the vehicle speed, a notification in the multi-information display is indicated to advise you to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Do not rely completely on the DRSS and always drive carefully:
The ability to detect a vehicle ahead is limited depending on the type of vehicle ahead, the weather conditions, and the traffic conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator and brake pedals are not operated correctly it could lead to an accident. Always verify the safety of the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
-
The DRSS operates when all of the following conditions are met:
-
The ignition is switched ON.
-
The DRSS is on.
-
The selector lever is in a position other than reverse (R).
-
The vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19 mph or faster).
-
-
The objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles.
-
The DRSS may also operate in the presence of motorcycles and bicycles.
-
The DRSS may not operate normally under the following conditions:
-
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) has a malfunction.
-
The vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed.
-
-
The system does not operate with the following objects:
-
Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.
-
Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
-
Types of Images Displayed on the Screen
Top View/Front View
Use the top view/front view to assist in checking the safety of the surrounding area when accelerating from a stop, parking, or stopping the vehicle.
Display range
-
In the top view screen, the areas in black at the front and rear of the vehicle image and the seams where each of the camera images merge are blind spots.
-
Because images displayed in the top view screen are processed from each camera, the top view screen may display in the following ways.
-
If an image containing an object with a conspicuous color is picked up by any of the cameras, the whole screen may be affected and it may display in that color.
-
Obstructions displayed in the front view may not display on the top view screen.
-
If the position or angle of each camera changes due to tilting of the vehicle, the image may appear distorted.
-
Lines on the road may appear distorted at the seams where each of the camera images merge.
-
The entire screen may appear bright/dark depending on the illumination level around any of the cameras.

Indicates the tire direction. Moves in conjunction with the steering wheel operation. |
 |
Projected vehicle path lines (amber) |
Indicates the approximate projected path of the vehicle. Moves in conjunction with the steering wheel operation. a) Indicates the path where the edge of the front bumper is expected to travel. b) Indicates the path where the inner side of the vehicle is expected to travel. |
 |
Extended vehicle width lines and distance guide lines (red/blue) |
Indicates the approximate width of the vehicle and the distance (from front end of bumper) in front of the vehicle.
|
 |
Projected vehicle path distance guide lines (red/amber) |
Indicates the distance (from front end of bumper) in front of the vehicle.
|
The parking sensor detection range has limitations. For example, obstructions closing in from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always confirm the safety around the vehicle visually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sensor obstruction detection indication and warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System (Search).
The setting can be changed so that the projected vehicle path lines are not displayed.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
How to use the projected vehicle path line function
Make sure that there are no obstructions within the projected vehicle path lines.
Drive the vehicle forward while turning the steering wheel so that no obstructions come within the projected vehicle path lines.
Rear Wide View
Use the rear wide view to assist in checking the safety of the surrounding area when accelerating from a stop, parking, or stopping the vehicle.
