*
▼Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
The BSM is designed to assist the driver
in checking the area to the rear of the
vehicle on both sides during lane
changes by notifying the driver of the
presence of vehicles approaching from
the rear in an adjacent lane.
BSM operation
The BSM detects vehicles approaching
from the rear while traveling in the
forward direction at a speed of 10
km/h (6.3 mph) or faster and noti
fies
the driver by turning on the BSM
warning indicator light and displaying
the vehicle detection screen.
If the turn signal lever is operated to
signal a turn in the direction in which
the BSM warning indicator light is
illuminated while the approaching
vehicle is detected, the BSM notifies
the driver of possible danger flashing
on the BSM warning indicator light,
and by activating the warning sound
and the warning screen indicator
display.
The detection area on this system
covers the driving lanes on both sides
of the vehicle and from the rear part of

2. Detection areas
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually before making an actual lane
change:
The system is only designed to assist
you in checking for vehicles at your rear
when making a lane change. Due to
certain limitations with the operation
of this system, the BSM warning
indicator light, the warning sound and
the warning screen indicator display
may not activate or they might be
delayed even though a vehicle is in an
adjacent driving lane. Always make it
your responsibility as a driver to check
the rear.
NOTE
The BSM will operate when all of the
following conditions are met:
The power switch is switched ON.The i-ACTIVSENSE warning
indication/warning light in the
instrument cluster is turned off.
The vehicle speed is about 10
km/h (6.3 mph) or faster.
The BSM will not operate under the
following circumstances.
The vehicle speed falls below
about 10 km/h (6.3 mph) even
though the i-ACTIVSENSE warning
indication/warning light is turned
o ff.
The selector lever is shifted to
reverse (R) and the vehicle is
reversing.
The turning radius is small (making
a sharp turn, turning at
intersections).
In the following cases, the
i-ACTIVSENSE warning indication/
warning light turns on and operation
of the system is stopped. If the
i-ACTIVSENSE warning indication/
warning light remains illuminated,
have the vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
Some problem with the system
including the BSM warning
indicator lights is detected.
A large deviation in the installation
position of a rear side radar sensor
on the vehicle has occurred.
There is a large accumulation of

Traffic Jam Assist (TJA)*
▼ Tra
ffic Jam Assist (TJA)
The TJA is a system designed to reduce
driver fatigue during
traffic jams when
driving on expressways or highways.
The TJA consists of a headway control
function and a steering assist function.
Headway control function
The function performs headway
control to maintain a constant distance
between your vehicle and a vehicle
ahead at a preset vehicle speed
without you having to depress the
accelerator or brake pedal.
Steering assist function
When vehicle lane lines are detected,
the function assists your steering
operation to follow the vehicle lane
lines.
When vehicle lane lines are not
detected, the function assists your
steering operation to follow the
trajectory of the vehicle ahead.
Also refer to the fo llowing information
before using the TJA.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-71.
Refer to Front Radar Sensor on page
4-77.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the TJA and
always drive carefully:
The TJA is not an automated driving
system. Therefore, the function has
limitations. Do not rely completely
on the system and always stay on
course using the steering wheel.
Set a vehicle speed within the speed
limit according to the road
conditions and the weather
conditions.
The TJA may not be able to detect a
vehicle ahead depending on the type
of vehicle ahead and its conditions,
the weather conditions, and the road
conditions. Additionally, the system
might be unable to decelerate
suffi ciently if the vehicle ahead
applies the brakes suddenly or
another vehicle cuts into your lane,
which could result in an accident.
Do not use the system under the
following conditions. Otherwise, it
may result in an accident:
The vehicle is driven on roads other
than expressways and highways.
The vehicle is driven on roads with
sharp curves or with heavy tra ffic
where su fficient distances between
vehicles cannot be kept.
The vehicle is driven on roads where
acceleration and deceleration are
frequently repeated.
The vehicle is exiting the main lane
on an expressway to enter an
interchange, a rest area, or a parking
area.
The vehicle is driven on slippery
roads such as icy roads,
snow-covered roads, and unpaved
roads.
The vehicle is driven on a long
downslope.
The vehicle is driven on a steep
slope.
A two-wheeled vehicle such as a
motorcycle or bicycle is traveling
ahead.
The vehicle is being towed.
Proximity warnings activate
frequently.

Under bad weather conditions (rain,
fog , and snow).
Tires other than the speci fied size are
used, such as when tire chains or
temporary spare tires are used.
Switch the TJA off when it is not being
used.
Leaving the TJA on when it is not in use
is dangerous as it could operate
unexpectedly, resulting in an accident.
Do not get out of the vehicle while
the stop hold control is operating.
Getting out of the vehicle while the
stop hold control is operating is
dangerous as the vehicle may move
unexpectedly and result in an accident.
Before leaving the vehicle, switch the
TJ A off, shift the selector lever to the P
position, and apply the parking brake.
NOTE
The TJA does not operate with the
following objects.
On-coming vehiclesPe d e s t r i a n sStationary objects (such as
stopped vehicles, obstructions)
If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an
extremely low speed, the system may
not detect it correctly.
A brake operation sound may be
heard by the TJA control, however, it
does not indicate a problem.
The brake lights turn on while the
brakes and stop hold control are
operating by the TJA control.
When any of the following
conditions is met, the TJA may not be
able to detect white (yellow) lane
lines or vehicles ahead correctly and
the TJA may not operate normally.
A condition under which the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
cannot detect a target object is
met.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-71.
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
cannot recognize the area in front
of the vehicle.
