WARNING
Do not rely completely on DAA and
always drive carefully:
The DAA detects driver fatigue and
decreased attentiveness and
encourages the driver to take a rest,
however, it is not designed to prevent
the vehicle from straying. If you rely too
much on the DAA it could lead to an
accident. Drive carefully and operate
the steering wheel appropriately.
In addition, the system may not be
able to detect driver fatigue and
decreased attentiveness correctly
depending on the traffic and driving
conditions. The driver must take
sufficient rest in order to drive safely.
NOTE
The DAA operates when all of the
following conditions are met.
The vehicle speed is about 65 to
140 km/h (41 to 86 mph).
The system detects white (yellow)
lane lines.
The system has completed learning
of the driver’s driving data after 60
minutes have passed since the
driver began driving vehicle.
The DAA does not operate under the
following conditions.
The vehicle speed is less than
about 65 km/h (41 mph).
The vehicle speed exceeds about
140 km/h (86 mph).
The vehicle is making a sharp turn.The vehicle is changing lanes.The system cannot detect white
(yellow) lane lines.
The DAA may not operate normally
under the following conditions.
White (yellow) lane lines are less
visible because of dirt or fading/
patchiness.
The vehicle is jolted or swayed
continuously by strong winds or
rough roads.
The vehicle is driven aggressively.When making frequent lane
changes.
The vehicle is making a curve.The DAA detects driver fatigue and
decreased attentiveness based on
the driving data when the vehicle is
driven at about 65 to 140 km/h (41
to 86 mph) for about 20 minutes.
The driving data will be reset under
the following conditions.
The vehicle is stopped for 15
minutes or longer.
The vehicle is driven at less than
about 65 km/h (41 mph) for
about 30 minutes.
The ignition is switched off.After the DAA has displayed the first
message encouraging rest, it does
not display the next one until 60
minutes have passed.

▼Driver Attention Alert (DAA)
Display
When the system detects driver fatigue
or 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 (caut ion)
Much more fatigue and sleepiness
are detected: Warning pattern

WARNING
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 mi nutes 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 4-223.
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.

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.

Mazda Radar Cruise
Control (MRCC) (Manual
Transmission)
*
▼Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
The MRCC system is designed to
maintain headway control*1 with a
vehicle ahead according to your
vehicle's speed using a front radar
sensor to detect the distance to the
vehicle ahead and a preset vehicle
speed without you having to use the
accelerator or brake pedals.
*1 Headway Control: Control of the distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead detected by the
MRCC system.
Additionally, if your vehicle starts
closing in on the vehicle ahead such as
if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, a
warning sound and a warning
indication in the display are activated
simultaneously to alert you to maintain
a sufficient distance between the
vehicles.
Also refer to the following before using
the MRCC.
Front radar sensor (page 4-216)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the MRCC:
The MRCC system has detection
limitations depending on the type of
vehicle ahead and its conditions, the
weather conditions, and the road
conditions. Additionally, the system
may be unable to decelerate
sufficiently to avoid hitting the vehicle
ahead if the vehicle ahead applies the
brakes suddenly or another vehicle
cuts into the driving lane, which could
result in an accident.
Always drive carefully and verify the
surrounding conditions and depress
the brake pedal or accelerator pedal
while keeping a safe distance from
vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
Do not use the MRCC system in the
following locations. Using the MRCC
system at the following locations may
result in an unexpected accident:
 General roads other than highways
(Driving under these conditions
using the MRCC system is not
possible.)
 Roads with sharp curves and where
vehicle traffic is heavy with
insufficient space between vehicles,
or roads where frequent and
repetitive acceleration and
deceleration occur (Driving under
these conditions using the MRCC is
not possible.)
 When entering and exiting
interchanges, service areas, and
parking areas of highways (If you exit
a highway while headway control is
in use, the vehicle ahead will no
longer be tracked and your vehicle
may accelerate to the set speed.)

▼Close Proximity Warning
If your vehicle rapidly closes in on the
vehicle ahead because the vehicle
ahead applies the brakes suddenly
while you are traveling in headway
control, the warning sound activates
and the brake warning is indicated in
the display. Always verify the safety of
the surrounding area and depress the
brake pedal while keeping a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead.
Additionally, keep a safe distance from
the vehicles behind you.
1. “Depress Brake Pedal” message is
displayed
NOTE
In the following cases, the warnings
and brakes may not operate even if
your vehicle starts closing in on the
vehicle ahead.
You are driving your vehicle at the
same speed as the vehicle ahead.
Directly after the MRCC system has
been set.
Directly after the accelerator pedal is
released.
Another vehicle cuts into the driving
lane in front of you.
