Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
í
l
The LDWS notifies the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane.
l
The system detects the white (yellow) lines on the traffic lane using the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) and if it determines that the vehicle may be deviating from its
lane, it notifies the driver by flashing the LDWS indicator light (green) and operating the
LDWS warning sound.
l
Use the LDWS when you drive the vehicle on roads with white (yellow) lines.
l
For vehicles with 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.

WARNING
Do not use the LDWS under the following conditions.
The system may not operate adequately according to the actual driving conditions,
resulting in an accident.
Ø Driving on roads with tight curves.
Ø Driving under bad weather conditions (rain, fog, and snow).
The functions of the LDWS have limitations.
Always stay on course using the steering wheel and drive with care. The system is
not designed to compensate for a driver's lack of caution, and if you rely too much
on the LDWS it could lead to an accident. The driver is responsible for assuring lane
changes and other maneuvers. Always pay attention to the direction in which the
vehicle is traveling and the vehicle's surroundings.
