The Mazda Forward Sensing Camera
Mazda's i-Activsense safety features read the road through the Forward Sensing Camera, which Mazda installs on the windshield and aims precisely at the factory. Mazda tells owners not to move it, and calls for its aiming procedure whenever the windshield is replaced or even reused. On a CX-5, CX-30 or Mazda3 it supports Smart Brake Support and the lane-keeping features.
Because the camera sits on the glass itself, any change in the windshield changes its view. Aiming restores the angle Mazda designed, so the braking and lane features act on accurate readings.

When a Mazda needs camera aiming
Mazda requires the Forward Sensing Camera aiming procedure on i-Activsense vehicles, including the CX-5, CX-30 and Mazda3, whenever the windshield is replaced or reused. We plan the Mazda aiming with your windshield appointment and also aim cameras on Mazdas whose windshield came from another shop.
Most Mazda models use a static procedure, with targets placed at set distances in front of the car on level ground. If your CX-5 or Mazda3 is parked where the targets will not fit, we tell you before starting and arrange the aiming.

Mazda camera aiming coverage in Arizona and Florida
Aiming the camera is part of replacing a Mazda windshield, so it usually sits on the windshield claim. Phoenix and Tucson CX-5 owners need the full glass option for full glass coverage, and Florida comprehensive drops the windshield deductible. Both states also expect the glass shop to say if recalibration is needed, so Mazda owners hear it from us at the start.
General info, not legal or insurance advice — coverage varies by policy.
How a Mazda aiming visit works
We inspect the windshield, the camera cover and the bracket on the CX-5 or Mazda3, then set the targets at Mazda's specified distances on level ground. The scan tool runs the Forward Sensing Camera aiming, and we confirm the i-Activsense features show no warnings before finishing.
