Hi. I have a brand new Cx-3 ( 500 Miles ) and I had the same problem several times, especially in the morning if it's cold outside. The car will deactivate a few sensors SCBS ( smart city brake support ) and ALH and/or LDWS ( adaptive led headlights ) and/or (lane departure warning system ) - " DUE TO POOR outward camera visibility ".
Now.....If I look at the camera on top of the windscreen in the midle I will see that it's a lot of moist on the windscreen, inside, between the camera and the windscreen. I don't know exactly if it's the correct way to explain. So the moist it's inside on the windscreen in front of the camera. Even if the windscreen it's very clean inside and outside the car, because of the difference of temperature gets moist inside the camera space.
Now my question is....It is NORMAL to have this problem ??? that space, where is the camera should not be really good sealed ? It's normal to get that moist ? Thank you !

I've done that all the time but not always will take only 5 minutes. depends how cold it's outside and how much moist is there. But the question is another one. IT IS NORMAL ??? to happen like that ? Or it is a problem in fact ? I understand that we are a few with this problem but it is normal to have this issue ? or it is a fault eith the car. I've bought a brand new car in March that had multiple problems ( 4 separate problems and they were not simple ) from the first day and in 6 months it was in service for 4 months. After that they've decided to change the car with a similar brand new car and now I have this problem with the new one. And I just want to know if it's normal or not. I am sick of so many problems...... . And also if it is any way to fix this and to finish with this problem. If I will go with the car in service they are able to fix it ? thanks

my USA leading car engineer friend says it's very difficult to buy a brand new car without any design faults. the top car brands in the USA Toyota and honda are having faults in which was very rare in the past. BMW /Mercedes and Audi are the worse in the USA for faults/ Mazda are only renowned in the past for bad automatic gearboxes now fixed by getting rid of the CVT type
It is normal but it shouldn't happen. It's a design fault. I've had several cars fitted with this type of system and none of them had this condensation issue that disrupts the connected features.

switchback - I was thinking at that. because it is a camera there I was thinking that everything should be sealed properly to avoid this problems. Because otherwise if it's cold every day that means I will have the sensors disabled every day. And in that moment what is the point to pay for a safety pack if it's not working properly ? I don't know if I should go back to the dealership especially after they've changed the car once. What you think?

It's normal. Mazda are aware of the issue. They published guidance to dealers Worldwide in December 2016 with a note "The foggy FSC (forward sensing camera) lens may occur at some weather conditions and is not caused by a defect of the parts. When the warning message is displayed, drive the vehicle for 10 minutes or more with the defroster ON to clean the foggy FSC lens."

They are correct. It's not a "defect of the parts" it is a design flaw that they aren't interested in fixing.
