Driver Attention Alert (DAA)*
The DAA is a system which detects driver fatigue and decreased attentiveness, and
encourages the driver to take a rest.
When the vehicle is d riven inside traffic lane lines at about 65 to 140 km/h (41 to 86 mph),
the DAA estimates the amount of accumulated fatigue and decreas ed 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
multi-information display and a warning sound.
Use the DAA on expressways or highways.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) on page 4-196.
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on DAA and always drive carefully:
The DAA detects driver fatigue and decreased atte ntiveness 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 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 traffic and driving conditions. The driver must take sufficient rest
in consideration of safer driving.
NOTE
•The DAA operates when all of the following conditions are met.

When the system detects driver fatigue or
decreased attentiveness, it activates the
warning sound and displays an alert in the
multi-information display.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)*
The RCTA system is designed to assist the driver in checking the area to the rear of the
vehicle on both sides while the vehicle is reversing by alertin g the driver to the presence of
vehicles approaching the rear of the vehicle.
The RCTA system detects vehicles approaching from the left and right sides of the vehicle,
and the rear of the vehicle while the vehicle is being reversed out of a parking space, and
notifies the driver of possible danger using the Blind Spot Mon itoring (BSM) warning
indicator lights and the warning buzzer.

RCTA operation
1. The RCTA system operates when the shift lever (manual transax le) or the selector lever
(automatic transaxle) is shifted to the reverse (R) position.

2. If there is the possibility of a collision with an approaching vehicle, the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) warning indicato r lights flashes and the warning beep is activated
simultaneously.
(With rear view monitor)
The RCTA warning indication in t he rearview monitor also synchronizes with the Blind
Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning ind icator light on the door mirrors.
(With rear view monitor)
WA R N I N G
Always check the surrounding area visually before actually putting the vehicle in reverse:
The system is only designed to assist you in ch ecking for vehicles at the rear when putting the
vehicle in reverse. Due to certain limitations wi th the operation of this system, the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights may not flash or it might be delayed even though
a vehicle is behind your vehicle. Always make it your responsibility as a driver to check the
rear.

NOTE
•In the following cases, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF Indicator Light turns on
and operation of the system is stopped. If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF Indicator
Light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorised Mazda Dealer as
soon as possible.
•Some problem with the system including the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
indicator lights has occurred.
•A large deviation in the installation position of a radar sensor (rear) on the vehicle has
occurred.
•There is a large accumulation of snow or ice on the rear bumper near a radar sensor
(rear).
•Driving on snow-covered roads for long periods.
•The temperature near the radar sensors becomes extremely hot due to driving for long
periods on slopes during the summer.
•The battery voltage has decreased.
•Under the following conditions, the radar sensors (rear) cannot detect target objects or it
may be difficult to detect them.
•The vehicle speed when reversing is about 15 km/h (9 mph) or faster.
•The radar sensor (rear) detection area is obstructed by a nearby wall or parked vehicle.
(Reverse the vehicle to a position where the radar sensor detection area is no longer
obstructed.)

•The front door glass is fogged or covered in snow, frost or dirt.
•Turn off the RCTA system while pulling a trailer or while an accessory such as a bicycle
carrier is installed to the rear of the vehicl e. Otherwise, the radio waves emitted by the

Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) (Manual Transaxleand Taiwan)
*
The MRCC system is designed to maintain headway control*1 with a vehicle ahead
according to your vehic le's speed using a radar sensor (front) to detect the distance to the
vehicle ahead and a preset vehicle speed without you having to use the accelerator or brake
pedals.
*1 Headway Control: Control of the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
detected by the MRCC system.
Additionally, if your vehicle s tarts closing in on the vehicle ahead such as if the vehicle
ahead brakes suddenly, a warning sound and a warning indication in the display are
activated simultaneously to alert you to maintain a sufficient distance between the vehicles.
Also refer to the following before using the MRCC.
•Radar sensor (front) (page 4-201)
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the MRCC:
The MRCC system has detection limitations depe nding on the type of vehicle ahead and its
conditions, the weather conditions, and the road conditions. Additionally, the system may be
unable to decelerate sufficiently to avoid hittin g the vehicle ahead if the vehicle ahead applies
the brakes suddenly or another vehicle cuts into the driving lane, which could result in an
accident.
Always drive carefully and verify the surrounding conditions and depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal while keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
Do not use the MRCC system in the following locations, using the MRCC system at the
following locations may result in an unexpected accident:
 General roads other than highways (Driving under these conditions using the MRCC system
is not possible.)
 Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle tr affic is heavy and there is insufficient space
between vehicles.
 Roads where frequent and repetitive accelerati on and deceleration occur (Driving under
these conditions using the MRCC system is not possible).
 When entering and exiting interchanges, servic e areas, and parking areas of highways (If
you exit a highway while headway control is in use, the vehicle ahead will no longer be
tracked and your vehicle may a ccelerate to the set speed).
 Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads (Tyres could spin causing you to lose
vehicle control, or the stop hold control may not operate.)
