 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 traffic lanes. The following systems also use the Forward 

Sensing Camera (FSC).



 High Beam Control system (HBC)



 Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)



 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 

4-137.

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).



 Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)



 Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)



 Smart Brake Support (SBS)

The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the radiator grille.

Refer to Radar Sensor (Front) on page 

4-140.

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).



 Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)



 Smart Brake Support (SBS)

The laser sensor (front) is installed at the top of the windshield near the rearview mirror.
