i-ACTIV AWD Operation*
▼i-ACTIV AWD Operation
AWD provides excellent drivability on
snow-covered and ice-packed roads,
sand and mud, as well as on steep
slopes and other slippery surfaces.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to AWD Wa
rning Indication/
Warning Light on page 7-27.
WARNING
Never spin a wheel that is off the
ground:
Spinning a wheel that is off the ground
as a result of the vehicle being stuck or
in a ditch is dangerous. The drive
assembly could be seriously damaged
which could lead to an accident or
could even lead to overheating, oil
leakage, and a fire.
▼AWD Driving
WARNING
Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed
and abrupt maneuvers when driving
this vehicle:
Sharp turns, excessive speed and
abrupt maneuvering of this vehicle is
dangerous as it could result in the
increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle roll-over, personal injury or
death.
This vehicle has a higher center of
gravity. Vehicles with a higher center of
gravity such as utility and AWD vehicles
handle differently than vehicles with a
lower center of gravity.
Utility and AWD vehicles are not
designed for cornering at high speeds
any more than low profile sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactorily
under off-road conditions. In addition,
utility vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types of
vehicles.
Drive carefully when the vehicle is
loaded by lowering vehicle speed and
applying the brakes earlier:
Abrupt maneuvering and sudden
braking when driving a loaded vehicle
is dangerous as the driving behavior of
a vehicle with a high center of gravity is
different when it is loaded compared
to when it is not, and could result in
the loss of vehicle control and an
accident.
▼Tires and Tire Chains
The condition of the tires plays a large
role in the performance of the vehicle.
Moreover, to prevent adverse
effects to
the drive assembly, please note the
following:
Tires
When replacing tires, always replace
all front and rear tires at the same
time.
All tires must be of the same size,
manufacture, brand and tread
pattern. Pay particular attention
when equipping snow or other types
of winter tires.
Do not mix tread-worn tires with
normal tires.
Inspect tire inflation pressures at the specified periods adjust to the
specified pressures.

i-ACTIVSENSE*
▼i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term
covering a series
of advanced safety
and driver support systems which
make use of cameras and sensors. The
systems consist of active safety and
pre-crash safety systems.
These systems are designed to assist
the driver in safer driving by reducing
the load on the driver and helping to
avert collisions or reduce their severity.
However, because each system has its
limitations, always drive carefully and
do not rely solely on the systems.
▼ Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer
driving by helping the driver to
recognize potential hazards and avert
accidents.

When temporarily canceling the
system
The LDWS goes on standby in the
following cases: The LDWS operation
is automatically restored when the
system's operation conditions are met.
The system cannot detect white
(yellow) lane lines.
The vehicle speed is less than about
56 km/h (35 mph).
The turn signal lever is operated.The accelerator pedal is depressed.The steering wheel is operated.The brake pedal is operated.
The function is temporarily stopped.
The LDWS stops functioning in the
following cases:
The temperature in the forward
sensing camera (FSC) is too high or
too low.
The windshield around the forward
sensing camera (FSC) is foggy.
The windshield around the forward
sensing camera (FSC) is blocked by
an obstruction, causing poor forward
visibility.
Strong light (such as sunlight, or
headlights (high-beam) of
on-coming vehicles) is directed at
the forward sensing camera (FSC).
System malfunction
If there is a problem with the system,
the i-ACTIVSENSE status symbol
(warning/risk avoidance support
system) (white) and the i-ACTIVSENSE
warning indication/warning light on
the multi-information display turns on
and a message is indicated.
Refer to i-ACTIVSENSE Status Symbol
(Warning/Risk Avoidance Support
System) on page 4-88.
▼ LDWS Warning
If the system determines that the
vehicle may deviate from its lane, a
warning (beep sound, steering wheel
vibration) is activated and the direction
in which the system determines that
the vehicle may deviate is indicated on
the multi-information display and the
active driving display.

▼Excessive Speed Warning
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the active driving
display/instrument cluster, the area around
the speed limit sign flashes in amber and
the warning sound is activated at the same time. If the vehicle speed continues 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 recognized.
2. Vehicle continues to do 55 mph after 50 mph speed limit sign is recognized.

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
a vehicle ahead is close, the system
alerts the driver of a possible collision
using an indication on the display.
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.
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 av oidance 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 OFF
switch)
Refer to i-ACTIVSENSE OFF Switch
on page 4-89.

If the ignition is switched OFF while
you have canceled the system using
the i-ACTIVSENSE OFF 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
Warning
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 display and a
warning sound.
Use the DAA on expressways or
highways.
