1 The recognition distance of the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) varies according to the
surrounding conditions.
The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to High Beam Control System
(HBC) Warning Indication/Warning Light
(Amber) on page 7-34.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the vehicle height, modify
the headlight units, or remove the
camera, otherwise the system will not
operate normally.
Do not rely excessively on the HBC and
drive the vehicle while paying sucient
attention to safety. Switch the headlights
between the high beams and low beams
manually if necessary.
NOTE
The timing in which the system switches
the headlights changes under the
following conditions. If the system does
not switch the headlights appropriately,
manually switch between high and low
beams according to the visibility as well as
road and traffic conditions.
When there are sources of light in the
area such as street lamps, illuminated
signboards, and traffic signals.
When there are reflective objects in the
surrounding area such as reflective
plates and signs.
When visibility is reduced under rain,
snow and foggy conditions.
When driving on roads with sharp turn
or hilly terrain.
When the headlights/rear lamps of
vehicles in front of you or in the
opposite lane are dim or not
illuminated.
When there is insufficient darkness such
as at dawn or dusk.
When the trunk/luggage compartment is
loaded with heavy objects or the rear
passenger seats are occupied.
When visibility is reduced due to a
vehicle in front of you spraying water
from its tires onto your windshield.
To Operate the System
The HBC operates to switch the headlights
automatically between high and low
beams after the ignition is switched ON
and the headlight switch is in the AUTO
and low beam position.
The HBC determines that it is dark based
on the brightness of the surrounding area.
At the same time, the HBC indicator light
(green) in the instrument cluster
illuminates.
NOTE
Operation of the HBC function can be
disabled.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda
