WARNING

Do not rely completely on the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure 

Warning System (LDWS):



  The Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) is not an 

automatic driving system. In addition, the system is not designed to compensate for a 

driver's lack of caution, and over-reliance on the system could lead to an accident.



  The detection ability of the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning 

System (LDWS) is limited. Always stay on course using the steering wheel and drive 

with care.

Do not use the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System 

(LDWS) in the following cases:

The system may not operate adequately according to the actual driving conditions, 

resulting in an accident.



  Driving on roads with tight curves.



  Driving under bad weather conditions (rain, fog, and snow).



  Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads.



  Roads with heavy traffic and insufficient distance between vehicles.



  Roads with no white (yellow) lane lines.



  Narrow roads resulting from road construction or lane closures.



  The vehicle is driven on a temporary lane or section with a closed lane resulting from 

road construction where there may be multiple white (yellow) lane lines or they are 

interrupted.



  The tire pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.



  Tires of a different specified size are used, such as an emergency spare tire.

CAUTION

Heed the following cautions so that the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure 

Warning System (LDWS) can operate normally.



  Do not modify the suspensions.



  Always use wheels of the specified type and size for the front and rear wheels. Consult 

an Authorized Mazda Dealer for tire replacement.

NOTE



  When the turn signal lever is operated for a lane change, the Lane-keep Assist System 

(LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) is automatically disabled. The 

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

operational again when the turn signal lever is returned and the system detects white 

(yellow) lane lines while the vehicle is being driven normally within its vehicle lane.
