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.
xFatigue and sleepiness are detected:
Warning pattern (caution)
xMuch more fatigue and sleepiness
are detected: Warning pattern

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
*Some models.4-121

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
xIf the vehicle speed decreases to less
than about 5 km/h (3 mph) while
the DM is monitoring, the DM stops
monitoring for 6 minutes even if the
vehicle speed returns to about 5
km/h (3 mph) or faster.
xIf the driver monitoring camera does
not recognise the driver correctly, the
DM may not monitor correctly.
Refer to Driver Monitoring Camera
on page 4-226.
xAfter the DM has displayed the
first
message encouraging the driver to
take a rest, it does not display it
again during the following periods.
xAfter displaying the warning
pattern (caution), the next warning
pattern (caution) is not displayed
until 45 minutes have passed.
xAfter displaying the warning
pattern (warning), the next
warning pattern (warning) is not
displayed until 15 minutes have
passed.
xAfter displaying the warning
pattern (warning), the next
warning pattern (caution) is not
displayed until 45 minutes have
passed.
▼Driver Monitoring (DM) Display
When the Driver Monitoring (DM)
detects driver fatigue or sleepiness, it
activates the warning sound and
displays an alert in the instrument
cluster.

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.
When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE

Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA)
*
▼Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
The RCTA system is designed to assist
the driver in checking the area to the
rear left and right sides of your vehicle
while your vehicle is reversing by
alerting the driver to the presence of
vehicles approaching the rear of your
vehicle.
The RCTA system detects vehicles
approaching from the rear left and
right sides of your vehicle and the rear
of your vehicle while your vehicle is
being reversed out of a parking space,
and notifies the driver of possible
danger using the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning indicator lights and the
warning buzzer.
1. Your vehicle
2. Detection areas
When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
4-126*Some models.

WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually before actually putting the
vehicle in reverse:
The system is only designed to assist
you in checking for vehicles at the rear
when putting the vehicle in reverse.
Due to certain limitations with the
operation of this system, the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator
lights may not
flash or it might be
delayed even though a vehicle is
behind your vehicle. Always make it
your responsibility as a driver to check
the rear.
RCTA operation
1. The RCTA system operates when
the shift lever (manual
transmission) or the selector lever
(automatic transmission) is shifted
to the reverse (R) position.
2. If there is the possibility of a
collision with an approaching
vehicle, the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning indicator lights
flashes and the warning beep is
activated simultaneously.
Rear view monitor (vehicles with
Rear view monitor)
The RCTA warning indication in the
rearview monitor also synchronizes
with the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning indicator light on
the door mirrors.
360°view monitor (vehicles with
360°view monitor)
The RCTA warning indication in the
360°view monitor also
synchronizes with the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) warning
indicator light on the door mirrors.
Function for cancelling illumination
dimmer
If the BSM warning indicator lights turn
on when the position lights are turned
on, the brightness of the BSM warning
indicator lights is dimmed.
If the BSM warning indicator lights are
difficult to see due to glare from
surrounding brightness when travelling
on snow-covered roads or under foggy
conditions, press the dimmer
cancellation button to cancel the
dimmer and increase the brightness of
BSM warning indicator lights when
they turn on.

Mazda Radar Cruise
Control (MRCC)
*
▼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.
xFront radar sensor (page 4-220)
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:
¾General roads other than highways
(Driving under these conditions
using the MRCC system is not
possible.)
¾Roads 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).
¾When 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).
¾Slippery roads such as ice or
snow-bound roads (Tyres could spin
causing you to lose vehicle control,
or the stop hold control may not
operate.)
¾Long , descending slopes (to
maintain distance between vehicles,
the system automatically and
continuously applies the brakes
which could result in the loss of
brake power.)
¾Slopes with a steep gradient (The
vehicle ahead may not be detected
correctly.)
¾Two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorcycles or bicycles are ahead.
