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.

▼Excessive Speed Warning
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in
the active driving display/
instrument cluster, the area aro und the speed limit sign flashes in amber and the warning
sound is activated at the same time. If the vehicle speed conti nues to exceed the displayed
speed limit sign, the indication stops flashing and remains on. Check the surrounding
conditions and adjust the vehicle speed to the legal speed using the appropriate operation
such as depressing the brake pedal.
1. Vehicle is doing 55 mph when 50 mph speed limit sign is recog nized.
2. Vehicle continues to do 55 mph after 50 mph speed limit sign is recognized.
3. Active driving display indication

Distance & Speed Alert(DSA)
*
▼Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)
The DSA is a system which provides
advice for maintai
ning 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 a vehicle ahead is close, the
system alerts the driver of a possible
collision using an indication on the
display.
WA R N I N G
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.
The ignition is switched ON.
The DSA is turned on.
The shift lever (manual transmission
vehicle) or the selector lever (automatic
transmission vehicle) is in a position
other than R.
The vehicle speed is about 30 km/h (19
mph) or faster.
i-ACTIVSENSE status symbol
(warning/risk avoidance support system)
(green) is displayed.
NOTE
The objects which activate the system
are four-wheeled vehicles.
The DSA may also operate in the
presence of motorcycles and bicycles.
The DSA may not operate normally
when the speed of a vehicle ahead is too
slow.
The system does not operate with the
following objects.
Vehicles approaching in the opposite
direction.
Stationary objects (stopped vehicles,
obstructions)
The DSA can be set to inoperable.
(If only the DSA is turned off)
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
(If the DSA is turned off by operating
the i-ACTIVSENSE switch)
Refer to i-ACTIVSENSE Switch on
page 4-87.

If the ignition is switched OFF while
you have canceled the system using the
i-ACTIVSENSE switch, the system is
automatically enabled the next time the
ignition is switched ON. However, if the
system is canceled using the
personalization features, the system is
not automatically enabled.
▼Vehicle Ahead Close Proximity
Wa r n i n g
When the system determines that the
distance between your vehicle and a
vehicle ahead is close, the
i-ACTIVSENSE status symbol (warning/
risk avoidance support system) changes
from green to amber and the warning
indication is displayed on the
multi-information display. While checking
the safety of the surrounding area, depress
the brake pedal while keeping a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead.
Driver Attention Alert
(DAA)
*
▼Driver Attention Alert (DAA)
The DAA is a system which detects driver
fatigue and decreased attentiveness, and
encourages the driver to take a rest.
When the vehicle is driven inside traffic
lane lines at about 65 to 140 km/h (41 to
86 mph), the DAA estimates the amount
of accumulated fatigue and decreased
attentiveness of the
driver based on the
information from the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) and other vehicle
information, and encourages the driver to
take a rest using an indication on the
multi-information disp lay and a warning
sound.
Use the DAA on expressways or
highways.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
on page 4-200.
