To Operate the System
The HBC operates to switch the headlights automatically between high and low beams after the power switch is switched ON and the headlight switch is in the AUTO and low beam position.
The HBC determines that it is dark based on the brightness of the surrounding area. At the same time, the HBC indicator light (green) in the instrument cluster illuminates.
Operation of the HBC function can be disabled.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
When the System Operates
When the power switch is switched ON, the i-ACTIVSENSE status symbol (warning/risk avoidance support system) (white) turns on and the system goes on standby.
If the i-ACTIVSENSE status symbol (Warning/risk avoidance support system) (white) does not turn on, the system is canceled using the i-ACTIVSENSE OFF switch or [Settings] in the Mazda Connect.

Steering Assist Limit Warning
Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK)
The ELK is a system designed to assist the driver’s steering wheel operation to avoid danger.
The ELK consists of the Blind Spot Assist function to prevent your vehicle from colliding with vehicles on adjacent lanes, and the Road Keep Assist function to prevent your vehicle from deviating from the road.
Refer to Blind Spot Assist (Search).
Refer to Road Keep Assist (Search).
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The SBS is a system designed to detect target objects using sensors and cameras equipped on the vehicle, and to reduce damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control if there is the possibility of your vehicle colliding with a target object.
One part of the SBS functions when you are driving forward and the other part functions when you are driving in reverse.
Refer to Forward drive detection (Search).
Refer to Reverse drive detection (Search).
Forward drive detection
When you are driving forward, the following functions of the Smart Brake Support (SBS) operate.
-
Forward detection function
Do not rely completely on the SBS:
The SBS is only designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision.
The system may not operate normally depending on the target object, weather conditions, or traffic conditions. Over reliance on the system leading to the accelerator pedal or brake pedal being mistakenly operated could result in an accident.
In the following cases, turn the SBS off to prevent a mis-operation.
-
The vehicle is being towed.
-
The vehicle is driven on rough roads such as in areas where there is grass and foliage or off-road.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake Support (SBS) System Operation (Search).
During the SBS brake control, the brake pedal may move rearward or become stiff. The brakes are operating, but continue to depress the brake pedal.
Forward detection function
The forward detection function is designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision with target objects at the front.
The forward detection function detects target objects (vehicles ahead, pedestrians, and bicycles) using the front radar sensor and the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). If there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a target object at the front, you are notified of possible danger by a warning sound and a warning indication on the display.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a collision increases, the brake control is performed to reduce damage in the event of a collision. In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist.
(Vehicles with Driver Monitoring (DM))
If the system determines that the driver is not paying attention to the road, it activates the collision warning earlier than normal.
Operation conditions
The forward detection function operates when all of the following conditions are met.
-
The power switch is switched ON.
-
The SBS is on.
-
(Object is vehicle ahead)
