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.

• If the lead-acid 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 front radar sensor to detect, “Safety and Driver Support Systems Temporarily Disabled. Front Radar Obscured. Drive Safely” 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.

• In the following cases, the excessive speed warning stops operating.

  • The vehicle speed is less than the speed of the displayed speed limit sign. (If the activation timing for the excessive speed warning is changed in the personalization features, the excessive speed warning stops operating when the vehicle speed is less than the changed vehicle speed.

  • A speed limit sign indication has been updated and the vehicle speed is lower than the updated indication.

  • Display of the speed limit sign stops.

• The warning indication is displayed at the same time the excessive speed warning sound is activated if the vehicle speed exceeds the speed indicated on the speed limit sign.

  Refer to Excessive Speed Warning (Search).

• If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or data recorded in the navigation system incorrectly recognizes the actual speed limit sign at a lower speed, the excessive speed alarm is activated even if the vehicle is driven at the legal speed.

• If the vehicle speed decreases to less than about 5 km/h (3 mph) while the DM is monitoring, the DM stops monitoring for 6 minutes even if the vehicle speed returns to about 5 km/h (3 mph) or faster.

• If the driver monitoring camera does not recognize the driver correctly, the DM may not monitor correctly.

  Refer to Driver Monitoring Camera (Search).

• After the DM has displayed the first message encouraging the driver to take a rest, it does not display it again during the following periods.

  • After displaying the warning pattern (caution), the next warning pattern (caution) is not displayed until 45 minutes have passed.

  • After displaying the warning pattern (warning), the next warning pattern (warning) is not displayed until 15 minutes have passed.

  • After displaying the warning pattern (warning), the next warning pattern (caution) is not displayed until 45 minutes have passed.

• In the following cases, the MRCC with Stop & Go function system is canceled when the vehicle is traveling at 30 km/h (20 mph) or less and “Mazda Radar Cruise Control Disabled Under 30 km/h” is displayed in the multi-information display.

  • The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cannot detect target objects.

  • There is a problem with the stop hold control function.

  • There is a problem with the Electric Parking Brake (EPB).

• When the system is turned on, the MRCC standby indication (white) turns on and the MRCC display indications are displayed on the multi-information display and the active driving display.

• When the vehicle speed is set, the set vehicle speed is displayed on the displays and the MRCC standby indication (white) changes to the MRCC set indication (green).

• The minimum speed setting is 30 km/h (19 mph).

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

• 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.

  • Depending on the surrounding environment, the color of objects may be displayed on the screen in a color different from the actual one.

  • Depending on the surrounding environment, it may take a few seconds for the color of the screen display to adjust.

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.

• Because there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen and the actual conditions, always check the safety of the surrounding area using the mirrors and directly with your eyes when driving.

• Even though the object displayed on the screen, such as a road curb or a division line of a parking space, and the vehicle parallel guide lines appear parallel, they may not actually be parallel.
