Distance & Speed Alert
(DSA)
*
▼Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)
The DSA is a system which provides
advice for maintaining the appropriate
distance between vehicles and
notifies
the driver of the recommended, safe
distance to maintain with a vehicle
ahead. The system measures the
distance between your vehicle and a
vehicle ahead while the vehicle speed
is about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster. If
the distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead is continuously
close, the system alerts the driver of a
possible collision using an indication
on the display and suppresses your
vehicle speed
*1 to prevent it from
approaching the vehicle ahead too
closely.
*1 The function which suppresses your
vehicle speed is not available in
some markets.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
DSA:
The ability of the system to detect a
vehicle ahead is limited depending on
the type of vehicle ahead, weather
conditions, or traffic conditions. In
addition, the system is not for
maintaining the distance between your
vehicle and a vehicle ahead. If you
neglect to operate the accelerator and
brake pedals correctly, it could lead to
an accident. Always check the safety of
the surrounding area and depress the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safe distance from vehicles
ahead or on-coming vehicles.
Operation conditions
The DSA operates when the following
conditions are all met.
xThe ignition is switched ON.xThe DSA is turned on.xThe shift lever (manual transmission
vehicle) or the selector lever
(automatic transmission vehicle) is in
a position other than R.
xThe vehicle speed is about 30 km/h
(19 mph) or faster.
xi-ACTIVSENSE status symbol
(warning/risk avoidance support
system) (green) is displayed.
NOTE
xThe objects which activate the
system are four-wheeled vehicles.
xThe DSA may also operate in the
presence of motorcycles and
bicycles.
xThe DSA may not operate normally
when the speed of a vehicle ahead is
too slow.
xThe system does not operate with
the following objects.
xVehicles approaching in the
opposite direction.
xStationary objects (stopped
vehicles, obstructions)
xThe DSA can be set to inoperable.
x(If only the DSA is turned off)
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
x(If the DSA is turned off by
operating the i-ACTIVSENSE
switch)

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.
xFatigue and sleepiness are detected:
Warning pattern (caution)
xMuch more fatigue and sleepiness
are detected: Warning pattern

Front Cross Traffic Alert
(FCTA)
*
▼Front Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA)
The FCTA is designed to assist the
driver in checking both sides of the
vehicle when the vehicle starts to drive
at an intersection.
The FCTA detects vehicles approaching
from the blind spots on the front left
and right sides of the vehicle when the
vehicle starts to drive at an
intersection, and notifies the driver of
possible danger using the warning
indication on the display and the
warning sound.
1. Your vehicle
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually when the vehicle starts to
drive at an intersection:
Due to certain limitations with the
operation of this system, the warning
indication on the display or the
warning sound might be delayed even
though there is a vehicle approaching
from a blind spot. Always make it your
responsibility as a driver to check the
left and right sides.
