í
l
The High Beam Control System (HBC) determines the conditions in front of the vehicle
while driving at night using the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) to automatically switch
the headlights between high and low beams.
While driving the vehicle at a speed of about 30 km/h (18 mph), the headlights are
switched to high beams when there are no vehicles in front of your vehicle or
approaching in the opposite direction.
The system switches the headlights to low beams during the following:
l
When the system detects a vehicle or the headlights/lights of a vehicle approaching in
the opposite direction.
l
When driving on roads lined with streetlamps or on roads in well-lit cities and towns.
l
When the vehicle is driven at less than about 20 km/h (12 mph).
l
For vehicles with the type A instrument cluster, check the vehicle condition or have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer according to the indication.
l
A system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-23.
