NOTE
Speed limit signs (including auxiliary signs) 

 When the vehicle speed is about 1 km/h (0.6 mph) or faster, the speed limit sign is
displayed when any one of the following conditions are met.
 


 The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognises a speed limit sign as a sign targeted
for your vehicle and the vehicle passes it.
 


 The speed limit sign stored in the navigation system is read (if the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) does not recognise a speed limit sign).


 Inclement weather speed limit signs are displayed when all of the following conditions
are met.
 


 The vehicle speed is about 1 km/h (0.6 mph) or more.



 The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognises an inclement weather speed limit
sign as a sign targeted for your vehicle and the vehicle passes it.
 


 The inclement weather speed limit sign is lower than the currently displayed speed
limit sign.
 


 The windscreen wipers are operated. 

 In the following cases, display of the speed limit sign stops. 



 The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognises the speed limit sign and the vehicle
is driven for a certain distance after passing the sign.
 


 Each sensor determines that the vehicle has changed direction of travel. (The display
of a speed limit sign does not stop even if the vehicle changes lanes while a "ZONE"
auxiliary sign is displayed.)
 


 The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognises a new speed limit sign which differs
from the previous one (displays the new speed limit sign).
 


 The speed limit sign stored in the navigation system is not read within a certain
period of time (if the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) does not recognise a speed
limit sign, the speed limit sign stored in the navigation system is displayed).
 


 The vehicle speed exceeds the displayed speed limit sign by 30 km/h (19 mph)
or more after a certain period of time has elapsed since the speed limit sign
was displayed. (Except when there is information for the speed limit sign in the
navigation system)

Do not enter signs 

 A do not enter sign is displayed when all of the following conditions are met. 



 The vehicle speed is about 80 km/h (50 mph) or slower.



 The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognises a do not enter sign as a sign targeted
for your vehicle and the vehicle passes it.


 In the following case, the display of the do not enter sign stops. 



 The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognises the do not enter sign and a certain
period of time has elapsed since the vehicle passed the sign.
Excessive Speed Warning
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed on the active driving display,
the warning sound is activated and the area around the speed limit sign displayed on the
active driving display À ashes 3 times in amber, and if the vehicle speed continues to exceed
the displayed speed limit sign, the indication stops À ashing and remains on. Check the
surrounding conditions and adjust the vehicle speed to the legal speed using the appropriate
operation such as depressing the brake pedal.

NOTE
  The excessive speed warning is initially set to inoperable. If you want to activate the
excessive speed warning, change the setting in the personalisation features.
 


 Off: The excessive speed warning is not activated.



 Warning display only: The area around the speed limit sign À ashes 3 times in amber,
and if the vehicle speed continues to exceed the displayed speed limit sign, the
indication stops À ashing and remains on.




 Warning display warning sound: The area around the speed limit sign À ashes 3
times in amber, and if the vehicle speed continues to exceed the displayed speed
limit sign, the indication stops À ashing and remains on and the warning sound is
activated.
 
 In the following cases, the excessive speed warning stops operating. 



 The vehicle speed is less than the speed of the displayed speed limit sign. (If the
activation timing for the excessive speed warning is changed in the personalisation
features, the excessive speed warning stops operating when the vehicle speed is less
than the changed vehicle speed.
 


 A speed limit sign indication has been updated and the conditions for activating the
excessive speed warning are not met.
 


 Display of the speed limit sign stops. 

 The warning indication is displayed at the same time the excessive speed warning
sound is activated if the vehicle speed exceeds the speed indicated on the speed limit
sign.
 Refer to Warning Sound is Activated on page 7-64 .   The Traf¿ c Sign Recognition System (TSR) can recognise a speed limit sign with an
auxiliary sign and display it, but it cannot determine the indication on the auxiliary
sign (such as time restrictions, turning restrictions, end of section). Therefore, the
excessive speed warning is activated when the vehicle speed exceeds the displayed
speed limit sign even if the conditions indicated on the auxiliary sign do not apply to
the vehicle.
  If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) displays a speed limit sign which was
recognised incorrectly, the excessive speed alarm is activated even if the vehicle is
driven at the legal speed.
  The following settings can be changed for the excessive speed warning.

Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) *
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) measures the distance between your
vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar sensor (front) while the vehicle speed is about 30
km/h (19 mph) or faster, and if your vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely than
what is appropriate for maintaining distance between the vehicles according to the vehicle
speed, a noti¿ cation in the active driving display is indicated to advise you to keep a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) and always
drive carefully:
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) provides advice for safer driving and
noti¿ es the driver of a recommended, safer distance to maintain with a vehicle ahead.
The ability to detect a vehicle ahead is limited depending on the type of vehicle ahead,
the weather conditions, and the traf¿ c conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator and
brake pedals are not operated correctly it could lead to an accident. Always verify the
safety of the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
NOTE
  The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) operates when all of the following
conditions are met:
 


 The ignition is switched ON.



 The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) is on.



 The selector lever is in a position other than reverse (R).



 The vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19 mph or faster). 

 The objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles. 
 The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) may also operate in the presence of
motorcycles and bicycles.
  The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) system may not operate normally
under the following conditions:
 


 The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) has a malfunction.



 The vehicle ahead is travelling at an extremely slow speed. 

 The system does not operate with the following objects: 



 Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.



 Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)

Indication on Display
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) operation status is indicated in the active
driving display. Regarding malfunctions, check the vehicle conditions or have it inspected
by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer according to the
content of the displayed message.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-36 .
NOTE
  When the ignition is switched off, the operation status before the system was turned
off is maintained. For example, if the ignition is switched off with the Distance
Recognition Support System (DRSS) operable, the system will be operable when the
ignition is switched ON the next time.
  The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) can be turned on/off and the
system's sensitivity can be changed.

Driver Attention Alert (DAA) *
The Driver Attention Alert (DAA) is a system which detects driver fatigue and decreased
attentiveness, and encourages the driver to take a rest.
When the vehicle is driven inside traf¿ c lane lines at about 65 to 140 km/h (41 to 86
mph), the Driver Attention Alert (DAA) estimates the amount of accumulated fatigue and
decreased attentiveness of the driver based on the information from the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) and other vehicle information, and encourages the driver to take a rest using
an indication on the active driving display and a warning sound.
Use the Driver Attention Alert (DAA) on expressways or highways.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) on page 4-179 .


WARNING
Do not rely completely on Driver Attention Alert (DAA) and always drive carefully:
The Driver Attention Alert (DAA) detects driver fatigue and decreased attentiveness and
encourages the driver to take a rest, however, it is not designed to prevent the vehicle
from straying. If you rely too much on the Driver Attention Alert (DAA) it could lead to
an accident. Drive carefully and operate the steering wheel appropriately.
In addition, the system may not be able to detect driver fatigue and decreased
attentiveness correctly depending on the traf¿ c and driving conditions. The driver must
take suf¿ cient rest in consideration of safer driving.
