Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)*
▼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/instrument cluster
which are recognized by the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or rec orded in the navigation
system while the v ehicle is driven.
The TSR displays the speed limit , do not enter, and traffic stop signs.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the active driving display/
instrument cluster while the veh icle is driven, the system noti fies the driver using the
indication in the active driving display/instrument cluster and a warning sound.

WA R N I N G
Always check the traffic signs visually while driving.
The TSR helps prevent the driver from overlooking traffic signs and provides support for safer
driving. Depending on the weather conditions or problems with traffic signs, a traffic sign
may not be recognized or a traffic sign different from the actual traffic sign may be displayed.
Always make it your responsibility as a driver to check the actual traffic signs. Otherwise, it
could result in an accident.
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.
The TSR does not operate if there is a malf unction in the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).

decreased attentiveness, it activates the
warning sound and displays an alert in the
multi-information display.

Driver Monitoring (DM)*
▼ Driver Monitoring (DM)
The DM is a system which detects driver
fatigue and sleepiness, and encourages the
driver to take a rest.
While driving the vehicle at about 5 km/h
(3 mph) or faster, the DM detects changes
in the driver's facial features using the
driver monitoring camera. The system
then estimates the amount of accumulated
fatigue and sleepiness of the driver and
encourages the driver to take a rest using a
warning indication
in the instrument
cluster and a warning sound.
Two types of warning indication patterns
are set for notifying the driver based on
the estimated amount of accumulated
fatigue and sleepiness of the driver.
Fatigue and sleepiness are detected:
Warning pattern (caution)
Much more fatigue and sleepiness are
detected: Warning pattern (warning)

WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the DM and
always drive carefully.
The DM is a system which detects driver
fatigue and sleepiness, and encourages the
driver to take a rest. This is not designed to
prevent driver fatigue and sleepiness, and
over-reliance on the system could lead to
an accident. Drive carefully and turn the
steering wheel appropriately.
In addition, the system may not be able to
detect driver fatigue and sleepiness
correctly depending on the traffic and
driving conditions. The driver must take
sufficient rest in order to drive safely.
Operation conditions
The DM begins monitoring after 20
minutes have passed since the driver
began driving the vehicle and when the
vehicle speed is about 5 km/h (3 mph) or
faster.
NOTE
If the vehicle speed decreases to less
than about 5 km/h (3 mph) while the DM
is monitoring, the DM stops monitoring
for 6 minutes even if the vehicle speed
returns to about 5 km/h (3 mph) or
faster.
If the driver monitoring camera does not
recognize the driver correctly, the DM
may not monitor correctly.
Refer to Driver Monitoring Camera on
page 4-209.
After the DM has displayed the first
message encouraging the driver to take
a rest, it does not display it again during
the following periods.
After displaying the warning pattern
(caution), the next warning pattern
(caution) is not displayed until 45
minutes have passed.
After displaying the warning pattern
(warning), the next warning pattern
(warning) is not displayed until 15
minutes have passed.
After displaying the warning pattern
(warning), the next warning pattern
(caution) is not displayed until 45
minutes have passed.
▼ Driver Monitoring (DM) Display
When the Driver Monitoring (DM) detects
driver fatigue or sleep
iness, it activates the
warning sound and displays an alert in the
instrument cluster.

Front Radar Sensor*
▼Front Radar Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with a front radar
sensor.
The following systems also use the front
radar sensor.
Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
Mazda Radar Cruise
Control with Stop
& Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function)
Cruising & Traffic Support (CTS)
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The front radar sensor functions by
detecting the radio waves reflected off a
vehicle ahead or an obstruction sent from
the radar sensor.
The front radar sensor is mounted behind
the front emblem.
1. Front radar sensor

If “Safety and Driver Support Systems
Temporarily Disabled. Front Radar
Obscured. Drive Safely” is displayed on
the multi-information display of the
instrument cluster, clean the area around
the front radar sensor.

Cruise Set Indication (Green)
The indication turns on (green) when a
cruising speed has been set.
▼Activation/Deactivation
WA R N I N G
Always turn
off the cruise control system
when it is not in use:
Leaving the cruise control system in an
activation-ready state while the cruise
control is not in use is dangerous as the
cruise control could unexpectedly activate
if the activation button is accidentally
pressed, and result in loss of vehicle control
and an accident.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched OFF, the
system status before it was turned off is
maintained. For example, if the ignition is
switched OFF with the cruise control
system operable, the system will be
operable when the ignition is switched ON
the next time.
Activation
To activate the system, press the cruise
switch. The cruise standby indication
(white) turns on.
Deactivation
To deactivate the system, press the cruise
switch again.
The cruise standby indication (white) turns
off.
▼ To Set Speed
1. Activate the cruise control system by
pressing the cruise switch. The cruise
standby indication (white) turns on.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which
must be more than 25 km/h (16 mph).
3. Adjust the system to the desired vehicle speed using the accelerator
pedal. Press the RES switch up (SET+)
or down (SET-) to start cruise control.
The cruise control indication (green) in
the instrument cluster turns on at the
same time. Quickly release the switch
when the cruise control indication
(green) turns on.
NOTE
If the RES switch is operated up (SET+)
or down (SET-) while the vehicle speed
is between 25 km/h (16 mph) and 30
km/h (19 mph), the set speed is set to 30
km/h (19 mph).
The cruise control speed setting cannot
be performed under the following
conditions:
Any of the doors is opened.
The driver's seat belt is unfastened.
The brake pedal is depressed.
The parking brake is applied.
(Automatic transmission)
The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
(Manual transmission)
The shift lever is in the neutral
position.
On a steep grade, the vehicle may
momentarily slow down while ascending
or speed up while descending.
