Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)*
▼Tra ffi c
Sign Recognition System (TSR)
The TSR helps prevent the driver from overlooking traffic signs, and provides support
for safer driving by displaying traffic sign
s on the active driving display/instrument
cluster which are recognized by the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or recorded in
the navigation system while the vehicle is driven.
The TSR displays the speed limit (including auxiliary signs), do not enter, and traffic
stop signs.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limi t sign indicated in the active driving
display/instrument cluster while the vehicle is driven, the system notifies the driver
using the indication in the active drivin g display/instrument cluster and a warning
sound.

WARNING
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.
The TSR operates only if the navigation system SD card (Mazda genuine) is
inserted in the SD card slot. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for details.
The TSR does not operate if there is a malfunction in the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC).
Under the following conditions, the TSR may not operate normally.

t 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 adju st 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.
3. Active driving display indication

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 selector lever 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 OFF
switch)
Refer to i-ACTIVSENSE OFF Switch
on page 4-98.

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
War n in 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 display and a
warning sound.
Use the DAA on expressways or
highways.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-197.
