Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
HLA is a function which assists the driver
in accelerating from a stop while on a
slope. When the driver releases the brake
pedal and depresses the accelerator pedal
while on a slope, the function prevents the
vehicle from rolling. The braking force is
maintained automatically after the brake
pedal is released on a steep grade.
For vehicles with a manual transaxle,
HLA operates on a downward slope when
the shift lever is in the reverse (R)
position, and on an upward slope when the
shift lever is in a position other than the
reverse (R) position.
For vehicles with an automatic transaxle,
HLA operates on a downward slope when
the selector lever is in the reverse (R)
position, and on an upward slope when the
selector lever is in a forward gear.
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on HLA:
HLA is an auxiliary device for accelerating
from a stop on a slope. The system only
operates for about two seconds and
therefore, relying only on the system, when
accelerating from a stop is dangerous
because the vehicle may move (roll)
unexpectedly and cause an accident.
The vehicle could roll depending on the
vehicle's load or if it is towing something. In
addition, for vehicles with a manual
transaxle, the vehicle could still roll
depending on how the clutch pedal or the
accelerator pedal is operated.
Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before starting to drive the vehicle.
NOTE
•HLA does not operate on a gentle slope.
In addition, the gradient of the slope on
which the system will operate changes
depending on the vehicle's load.
•HLA does not operate if the parking
brake is applied, the vehicle has not
stopped completely, or the clutch pedal
is released.
•While HLA is operating, the brake pedal
may feel stiff and vibrate, however, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
•HLA does not operate while the
TCS/DSC indicator li ght is illuminated.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on
page 4-42.
•HLA does not turn off even if the TCS
OFF switch is pressed to turn off the
TCS.
•(Automatic Transaxle)
Although the HLA does not operate
during idling stop, the vehicle roll
prevention function operates to prevent
vehicle roll.

Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)*
The 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.
The TSR displays the speed limit (including auxiliary signs) , do not enter, and passing
prohibited signs (windscreen type).
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the active drivi ng display while
the vehicle is driven, the system notifies the driver using the indication in the active driving
display and a warning sound.
NOTE
•The 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 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.

•A traffic sign is too big or too small.
•There is an object similar to the traffic sign being read (such as another traffic sign or
other signs resembling it).
•The TSR does not operate if the active driving display is set to non-display.
•The TSR can be set to inoperable.

The TSR can display a passing prohibited sign and a speed limit sign at the same time.
If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cannot correctly recognise a traffic sign while the
vehicle is driven, the following screen is displayed.
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 li mit 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 th e 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 (displ ays 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).

• 10: If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the display by 10
km/h (6.2 mph), the excessive speed warning is activated.
NOTE
•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 vehicle speed is lower than the
updated indication.
•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 7-63.
•The 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) incorrectly recognises the actual speed limit sign
at a lower speed, the excessive speed alarm is activated even if the vehicle is driven at the
legal speed.

Do not adjust the portable audio unit or a
similar product while driving the vehicle:
Adjusting the portable audio unit or a
similar product while driving the vehicle is
dangerous as it could distract your
attention from the vehicle operation which
could lead to a serious accident. Always
adjust the portable audio unit or a similar
product while the vehicle is stopped.
