 Camera and Sensors

            Forward  sensing  camera  (FSC)

    The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of the vehicle while 
traveling at night and detects traffi c lanes. The following systems also use the Forward 
Sensing Camera (FSC).

y

 High Beam Control system (HBC)

y

 Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)

y

 Smart Brake Support (SBS)

  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  4-112 .

  Radar  sensor  (front)

    The radar sensor (front) functions by detecting the radio waves refl ected off a vehicle ahead 
sent from the radar sensor. The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).

y

 Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)

y

 Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)

y

 Smart Brake Support (SBS)

  The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the radiator grille.
  Refer to Radar Sensor (Front) on page  4-115 .

  Laser  sensor  (front)

    The laser sensor (front) emits a near-infrared laser beam and receives the beam refl ected 
off the refl ective surface of a vehicle in front, and the detected beam is then used for 
measurement. The following systems also use the laser sensor (front).

y

 Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)

y

 Smart Brake Support (SBS)

  The laser sensor (front) is installed at the top of the windshield near the rearview mirror.
  Refer to Laser Sensor (Front) on page 4-118 .

  Radar  sensors  (rear)

    The radar sensors (rear) function by detecting the radio waves refl ected off a vehicle 
approaching from the rear or an obstruction sent from the radar sensors. The following 
systems also use the radar sensors (rear).

y

 Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System

y

 Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA)

  The radar sensors (rear) are installed inside the rear bumper, one each on the left and right 
sides.
