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	Outline	Reference
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.	(See MAZDA RADAR CRUISE CONTROL (MRCC) SYSTEM.)
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 multi-information display.	(See DISTANCE RECOGNITION SUPPORT SYSTEM (DRSS).)
Lane-keep assist system	The lane-keep assist system detects the white lines (yellow lines) of the vehicle lane using the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) installed to the windshield, and alerts the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane and it provides steering assistance to help the driver stay within the vehicle lanes.	(See LANE-KEEP ASSIST SYSTEM.)
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.	(See LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (LDWS).)
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.	(See ADAPTIVE LED HEADLIGHTS.)
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.	(See HIGH BEAM CONTROL (HBC) SYSTEM.)
Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS)	The adaptive front lighting system (AFS) is a system which enhances the range of visibility when the headlights are turned on by pointing the optical axis of the headlights in the direction in which the steering wheel is operated according to the steering operation.	(See ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS).)
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.	(See BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM [Australian specs.].) (See BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM [Except Australian specs.].)
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.	(See DRIVER ATTENTION ALERT 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	Outline	Reference
Smart Brake Support (SBS)	•  With the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system, the radar unit, laser sensor and Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detect the distance to a vehicle ahead or an obstruction while the vehicle is traveling at a speed of 15 km/h {9.4 mph} or more, and if the radar unit determines that there is a danger of a collision, the driver is alerted by a warning message and a warning sound activated intermittently. •  If the possibility of a collision increases, the system operates the brakes automatically to decrease the damage from the collision.	(See SMART BRAKE SUPPORT (SBS).)
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.	(See SMART CITY BRAKE SUPPORT [FORWARD] (SCBS F).)
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.	(See SMART CITY BRAKE SUPPORT [REVERSE] (SCBS R).)
