Traffi c Sign Recognition System (TSR) *
The Traf fi c Sign Recognition System (TSR) helps prevent the driver from overlook\
ing
traffi c signs, and provides support for safer driving by displaying traf fi c 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.
The Traffi c Sign Recognition System (TSR) displays the speed limit, do not enter, and traf fi c
stop signs.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the activ\
e driving display while
the vehicle is driven, the system noti fi es the driver using the indication in the active driving
display and a warning sound.
NOTE
   The Traffi c 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 Traffi c Sign Recognition System (TSR) operates only if the navigation syste\
m SD card
(Mazda genuine) is inserted in the SD card slot. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for
details.

Warning activation timing   0: If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the displ\
ay, the
excessive speed warning is activated.
  5: If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the displ\
ay by 5 km/h
(3 mph), the excessive speed warning is activated.
  10: If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the displ\
ay 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 si\
gn. (If the
activation timing for the excessive speed warning is changed in the pers\
onalization
features, the excessive speed warning stops operating when the vehicle speed i\
s less
than the changed vehicle speed.
  A speed limit sign indication has been updated and the vehicle speed is l\

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 veh\
icle 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 a\
ccording to the
vehicle speed, a notifi 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
notifi 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 traffi 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 th\
e 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 traveling 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 or multi-information display. Regarding malfunctions, check the vehicle
conditions or have it inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer according to the content of
the displayed message.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-32 .
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 Dis\
tance Recognition
Support System (DRSS) operable, the system will be operable when the i\
gnition is
switched ON the next time.
  The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) can be turned on/off an\
d the system's
sensitivity can be changed.
 Refer to Personalization Features on page 9-11 .

Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA) *
The Rear Cross Traf fi c Alert (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 rever\
sing by alerting the
driver to the presence of vehicles approaching the rear of the vehicle.
The Rear Cross Traf fi c Alert (RCTA) system detects vehicles approaching from the left
and right sides of the vehicle while the vehicle is being reversed out o\
f a parking space,
and notifi es the driver of possible danger using the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)\
warning
indicator lights and the warning buzzer.

Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA) operation
1. The Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA) system operates when the selector lever 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 indicator lights fl ashes and the warning beep is activated
simultaneously.
(With rear view monitor)
The Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA) warning indication in the rearview monitor also
synchronizes with the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator li\
ght on the door
mirrors.

WARNING
Always check the surrounding area visually before actually putting the vehicle in
reverse: The system is only designed to assist you in checking for vehicles at the rear when putting
the vehicle in reverse. Due to certain limitations with the operation of this system, the
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights may not fl ash 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.
