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.

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)
