i-ACTIVSENSE

For example, even when the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) is operating normally, if the Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) has a problem, the i-ACTIVSENSE status symbol (warning/risk avoidance support system) (white) is displayed.

Even if the i-ACTIVSENSE status symbol (warning/risk avoidance support system) (green) is displayed, systems which do not meet the operation conditions will not operate.

You can select systems which you want to cancel using [Settings] in Mazda Connect.

Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.

• The distance in which the HBC can detect objects varies depending on the surrounding conditions.

• The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) may not be able to detect target objects correctly, and the system may not operate normally.

  Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) (Search).

If the power switch is switched OFF while you have canceled the system using the i-ACTIVSENSE OFF switch, the system is automatically enabled the next time the power switch is switched ON. However, if the system is canceled using [Settings] in Mazda Connect, the system is not automatically enabled.
