When Driving  
i-ACTIVSENSE  
i-ACTIVSENSEí  
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety and driver  
support systems which make use of a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and radar sensors.  
These systems are designed to assist the driver in safer driving by reducing the load on the  
driver and helping to avert collisions or reduce their severity. However, because each  
system has its limitations, always drive carefully and do not rely solely on the systems.

qCamera and Sensors  
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)  
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects lane indications and recognizes headlights,  
taillights and city lights during nighttime driving. The following systems also use the  
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).  
l
High Beam Control system (HBC)  
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)  
Smart Brake Support (SBS)  
l
l
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed at the top of the windshield near the  
rearview mirror.  
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) on page 4-134.  
Radar sensor (front)  
The radar sensor (front) functions by detecting the radio waves reflected off a vehicle  
ahead sent from the radar sensor. The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).  
l
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)  
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)  
Smart Brake Support (SBS)  
l
l
The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the radiator grille.  
Refer to Radar Sensor (Front) on page 4-137.  
Laser sensor (front)  
The laser sensor (front) emits a near-infrared laser beam and receives the beam reflected off  
the reflective surface of a vehicle in front, and the detected beam is then used for  
measurement. The following systems also use the laser sensor (front).  
l
Smart Brake Support (SBS)  
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)  
l
The laser sensor (front) is installed at the top of the windshield near the rearview mirror.  
Refer to Laser Sensor (Front) on page 4-140.  
Radar sensors (rear)  
The radar sensors (rear) function by detecting the radio waves reflected off a vehicle  
approaching from the rear or an obstruction sent from the radar sensors. The following  
systems also use the radar sensors (rear).  
l
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System  
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)  
l
The radar sensors (rear) are installed inside the rear bumper, one each on the left and right  
sides.  
Refer to Radar Sensors (Rear) on page 4-142.
