2018 MAZDA MODEL CX-5 display

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 recognized
by the Forward Sensing Camera (F SC) or recorded in the navigation system while the
vehicle is driven.
The TSR displays the speed limit, do not enter, and traffic sto p signs.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the active driving display while
the vehicle is driven, the syste m 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 Authorized Mazda Dealer.
•The TSR operates only if the navigation syst em SD card (Mazda genuine) is inserted in
the SD card slot. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for details.

Always make it your responsibility as a driver to check the actual traffic signs. Otherwise, it
could result in an accident.

NOTE
Speed limit 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 speed limit sign stored in the navigation system is read (if the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) does not recognize a speed limit sign).
•In the following cases, display of the speed limit sign stops.
•The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognizes 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 Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognizes a new speed limit sign which differs
from the previous one (displays the new speed limit sign).
•The speed limit sign stored in the navigatio n system is not read within a certain period
of time (if the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) does not recognize a speed limit sign,
the speed limit sign stored in th e 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 elapse d 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 60 km/h (37 mph) or slower.

Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)*
The 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 ap propriate for maintaining
distance between the vehicles according to the vehicle speed, a notification in the active
driving display is indicated to advise you to keep a safe dista nce from the vehicle ahead.
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the DRSS and always drive carefully:
The ability to detect a vehicle ahead is limited depending on th e type of vehicle ahead, the
weather conditions, and the traffic 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 DRSS operates when all of the following conditions are met:
•The ignition is switched ON.
•The 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 DRSS may also operate in the presence of motorcycles and bicycles.
•The DRSS 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 DRSS operation status is indicated in the active driving di
splay or multi-information
display. Regarding malfunctions, check the vehicle conditions o r have it inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer according to the content of the display ed message.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-30.
NOTE
•When the ignition is switched off, the operation status before the system was turned off is
maintained. For example, if th e ignition is switched off with the DRSS operable, the
system will be operable when the ig nition is switched ON the next time.
•The DRSS can be turned on/off and the system's sensitivity can be changed.
