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 recognized 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 activ\
e 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, do not enter, and traffic
stop signs.
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 Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
 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 Authorized Mazda Dealer for
details.
