Power Steering
Power steering is only operable when
the engine is running. If the engine is off
or if the power steering system is
inoperable, you can still steer, but it
requires more physical effort.
If the steering feels stiffer than usual
during normal driving or the steering
vibrates, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
The warning indication/warning light
notifies the driver of system
abnormalities and operation conditions.
In addition, the buzzer may also activate
depending on the system abnormality or
operation condition.
Refer to Stop Vehicle in Safe Place
Immediately on page 7-22.
Refer to Power Steering Warning
Buzzer on page 7-44.
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel to the
extreme left or right for more than 5
seconds with the engine running. This
could damage the power steering system.

Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)*
The DRSS measures the distance between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar
sensor (front) while the vehicle speed is ab out 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster, and if your
vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely than what is appropriate for maintaining
distance between the vehicles according to the vehicle speed, a notification in the
multi-information display is indicated to advise you to keep a safe distance from the vehicle
ahead.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the DRSS and always drive carefully:
The ability to detect a vehicle ahead is limited depending on th e type of vehicle ahead, the
weather conditions, and the traffic conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator and brake pedals
are not operated correctly it could lead to an accident. Always verify the safety of the
surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a safer
distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
NOTE
The DRSS operates when all of the following conditions are met:
The ignition is switched ON.
The DRSS is on.
The selector lever is in a po sition other than reverse (R).
The vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19 mph or faster).
The objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles.
The DRSS may also operate in the presence of motorcycles and bicycles.
The DRSS may not operate normally under the following conditions:
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) has a malfunction.
The vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed.
The system does not operate with the following objects:
Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.
Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
▼Indication on Display
The DRSS operation status is indicated in
the multi-information display. Regarding
malfunctions, check the vehicle conditions or have it inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer according to the content of the displayed message.

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 (40 to 87 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.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) on page 4-256.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on DAA and always drive carefully:
The DAA detects driver fatigue and decreased atte ntiveness 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 consideration of safer driving.
NOTE
The DAA operates when all of the following conditions are met.

Roads where frequent and repetitive accelerati on and deceleration occur (Driving under
these conditions using the MRCC with Stop & Go function system is not possible).
 When entering and exiting interchanges, servic e 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).
 Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads (Tires could spin causing you to lose vehicle
control, or the stop hold control may not operate.)
 Long, descending slopes (to maintain distan ce between vehicles, the system automatically
and continuously applies the brakes which could result in the loss of brake power.)
 Slopes with a steep gradient (The vehicle ahea d may not be detected correctly, your vehicle
may slide while stopped by the stop hold control, and it may accelerate suddenly after it
starts moving.)
For safety purposes, switch the MRCC with Stop & Go function system off when it is not being
used.
Do not get out of the vehicle while the stop hold control is operating:
Getting out of the vehicle while the stop hold co ntrol is operating is dangerous as the vehicle
may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. Before getting out of the vehicle, switch the
MRCC with Stop & Go function system off, shift the selector lever to the P position, and apply
the parking brake.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the MRCC with Stop & Go
function system off to prevent a mis-operation.
NOTE
The MRCC with Stop & Go function system does not detect the following as physical
objects.
Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction
Pedestrians
Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it
correctly.
During headway control travel, do not set the system for detection of two-wheeled
vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles.
Do not use the MRCC with Stop & Go function system under conditions in which close
proximity warnings are frequently activated.
