Outline

•  i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety and driver support systems which make use of detection devices such as radar, laser and camera detection systems. These systems consist of active safety and pre-crash safety technologies.

Active safety technology

•  The active safety technology is designed to support safe and assured driving, and to prevent accidents.
•  The active safety technology consists of the following systems.

System

Mazda radar cruise control (MRCC) system
The Mazda radar cruise control (MRCC) system can perform headway control and maintain a constant speed at a set vehicle speed and distance from a vehicle ahead using a radar unit which detects the vehicle ahead without the driver having to depress the accelerator or brake pedal. Additionally, if the detecting vehicle approaches the vehicle ahead too closely such as when the vehicle ahead is braking suddenly, the system alerts the driver using a warning sound and warning indication.
Distance recognition support system (DRSS)
For the distance recognition support system (DRSS), the radar unit calculates the distance between the vehicle and a vehicle ahead, and displays the distance between the vehicle and a vehicle ahead in the active driving display.
Lane departure warning system (LDWS)
The Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) recognizes vehicle lane lines on a road using the forward sensing camera (FSC) installed to the windshield, and if the vehicle departs from its lane unbeknownst to the driver, the system alerts the driver of the lane departure using a warning indication and warning sound.
Adaptive LED headlights
The adaptive LED headlights improve visibility by changing the headlight illumination range depending on the vehicle driving conditions and the surrounding conditions without switching the headlights between HI/LO.
High beam control (HBC) System
The High Beam Control (HBC) system turns the headlights HI off when the forward sensing camera (FSC) installed to the windshield recognizes a vehicle ahead and when traveling through towns and cities while the vehicle is being driven with the headlights HI turned on. Due to this, blinding of other vehicles from headlight glare is prevented and driver visibility is assured.
Blind spot monitoring (BSM) system
The blind spot monitoring (BSM) system detects a vehicle in the blind-spot area at the rear of the vehicle to alert the driver of the possible collision with a target vehicle using the BSM indicator light on the outer mirror glass, the rear crossing traffic alert (RCTA) indicator light displayed on the rear view monitor screen, and the blind spot monitoring (BSM) warning alarm.
Driver attention alert system
The driver attention alert system warns the driver using the warning display and sound if it detects the driver's lack of attentiveness.
Adjustable speed limiter
•  For the purpose of safety performance improvement, the adjustable speed limiter restricts unintended excess vehicle speed by allowing the driver to optionally set the maximum vehicle speed.
•  The adjustable speed limiter restricts the engine output so that the vehicle speed does not exceed the set maximum vehicle speed even if the accelerator pedal is being depressed.
•  The adjustable speed limiter does not operate simultaneously with the cruise control system.


Pre-crash safety technology

•  The pre-crash safety technology is designed to assist the driver in averting collisions or reducing their severity in situations where they cannot be avoided.
•  The pre-crash safety technology consists of the following systems.

System

Reference
Smart brake support (SBS)
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) warns the driver using the warning indication in the active driving display or multi-information display and warning alarm sounds when the radar unit, laser sensor and forward sensing camera (FSC) detect an obstruction or vehicle ahead, and if there is the possibility of a collision while the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h {9.3 mph} or more. If the possibility of a collision increases, it operates the brakes automatically to decrease the damage from the possible collision.
Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)
With the Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F) system, if a possible collision with a vehicle ahead or an obstruction is detected while the vehicle is traveling at a low speed, the system applies the brakes automatically to reduce the damage from the collision.
Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R)
With the Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) system, if a possible collision with vehicles/obstructions while reversing increases due to the driver not confirming the safety, the system applies the brakes automatically to reduce the damage from the collision.
