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 av oidance 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 4-97.

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
Warning
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.

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 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:

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 4-207.
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
