When Driving
Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) helps prevent the driver from
overlooking traffic signs, and provides support for safer driving by displaying traffic
signs on the active driving display which are recognised by the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) or recorded in the navigation system while the vehicle is driven.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the active driving
display while the vehicle is driven, the system notifies the driver using the
indication in the active driving display and a warning sound.
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) displays the speed limit (including
auxiliary signs) and do not enter signs.
Always check the traffic signs visually while driving.
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) helps prevent the driver from
overlooking traffic signs and provides support for safer driving. Depending on
the weather conditions or problems with traffic signs, a traffic sign may not be
recognised or a traffic sign different from the actual traffic sign may be
displayed. Always make it your responsibility as a driver to check the traffic
signs.
WARNING
Otherwise, it could result in an unexpected accident.
NOTE
• The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) is not supported in some
countries or regions. For information concerning the supported countries or
regions, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
• The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) operates only if the navigation
system SD card (Mazda genuine) is inserted in the SD card slot. Consult an
expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer for details.

For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ELOOP”.
i-ELOOP is a regenerative braking system. When you depress the brake pedal or
use engine braking, the kinetic energy that occurs is converted to electrical energy
by the power generator and the converted electrical energy is stored in the
rechargeable battery (capacitor and battery). The stored electricity is used as
power to charge the battery and the vehicle's electrical devices.
• A variable voltage alternator is incorporated in the power generator which
converts the kinetic energy to electricity and can generate electricity efficiently
according to the vehicle conditions.
• A capacitor is used to store large amounts of electricity instantly which can be
utilized quickly.
• A DC-DC converter is incorporated which steps down the stored electricity to
voltage useable by the vehicle's electrical devices.

31For details, refer to Section 4, “Tyre Pressure Monitoring System”, or “Diesel Particulate Filter”.
Diesel Particulate Filter
The diesel particulate filter collects and removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all
four wheels. If the air pressure of one or more tyres is too low, the system warns
the driver by indicating the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light in the
instrument cluster and operating a beep sound.
In the following cases, system initialization must be performed so that the system
operates normally.
• A tyre pressure is adjusted.
• Tyre rotation is performed.
• A tyre or wheel is replaced.
• The battery is replaced or completely drained.
• The tyre pressure monitoring system warning
light is illuminated.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
PM collected by the diesel particulate filter is cleared during normal driving,
however, PM may not be removed and the diesel particulate filter indicator light
may illuminate under the following conditions:
• If the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h (9 mph) or less continuously.
• If the vehicle is repeatedly driven for a short period of time (10 minute or less)
or driven while the engine is cold.
• If the vehicle is idled for a long time.
