Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS)
The TPMS monitors the air pressure of
each tire and informs the driver of a
decrease in the tire air pressure when it
becomes lower than the specified air
pressure.
For the TPMS, the air pressure data
sent from the tire pressure sensors
installed on each wheel via radio signal
is received by the receiver unit in the
vehicle to monitor the tire pressures.

Warning and Cautions forUsing the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle at high
speeds if the TPMS warning light
is
turned on or flashing.
Driving the vehicle at high speeds
while the TPMS warning light is turned
on or flashing is dangerous because
the brake performance and the
steering wheel operability will be
reduced. If the vehicle is driven at high
speeds or the brakes are suddenly
applied, it could lead to an accident.
Gradually apply the brake and reduce
the vehicle speed.
Do not ignore the TPMS warning light
when it is turned on or flashing.
Continuing to driv e the vehicle while
ignoring the illumi nation/flashing of
the TPMS warning light is dangerous
because a tire may burst which could
lead to an accident. Take appropriate
measures as soon as possible.

Lane Departure WarningSystem (LDWS)
*
The LDWS notifies the driver that the
vehicle might be deviating from its
lane. If there is a possibility of your
vehicle deviating from the vehicle lane,
a screen display and a warning sound
notify the driver of the danger.
Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Lane
Departure Warning
System (LDWS)
WARNING
Do not rely comple tely on the LDWS.
 The LDWS has limitations. Do not
rely completely on the system and
always stay on course using the
steering wheel.
 The LDWS is not designed to
compensate for a driver’s lack of
caution and relying on the system
could lead to an accident.
CAUTION
Heed the following cautions so that
the LDWS can operate normally.
Do not modify the suspensions.
 Always use wheels of the
specified
size for the front and rear wheels.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for tire replacement.

How to Use the LaneDeparture Warning System (LDWS)
LDWS operates
The LDWS operates when all of the
following conditions are met.
The vehicle speed is about 64 km/h
(40 mph)or faster.
The system detects white (yellow)
lane lines.
The CTS steering assist function is
not operating.
The system determines that the
vehicle may depart from the lane.
When the LDWS is operating, a screen
display and a warning sound (steering
wheel vibration and warning sound)
notify the driver of the danger.
Instrument cluster
Active driving display
NOTE
The LDWS operates only on the side
that detects white lines (yellow
lines).
The forward sensing camera (FSC)
may not be able to detect target
objects correctly, and the LDWS may
not operate normally.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 5-127.
The LDWS warning type can be
changed using Mazda Connect.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
LDWS is temporarily canceled
If any of the following conditions is
met, the LDWS is canceled. In
addition, the LDWS is automatically
enabled when the condition changes
and the system is operable.
The turn signal lever is operated.The accelerator pedal is operated.The steering wheel is operated.The brake pedal is depressed.
Turning off the LDWS
There are 2 ways to turn off the LDWS.
Turn off the LDWS using Mazda
Connect.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
Turn off the LDWS using the
i-ACTIVSENSE OFF switch.

Driver Attention Alert(DAA)
*
The DAA is a system that detects the
driver fatigue and decreased
attentiveness based on various types of
vehicle information, and encourages
the driver to take a rest using a screen
display and warning sound.
Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Driver
Attention Alert (DAA)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the DAA.
The DAA does not prevent driver
fatigue or decreased attentiveness 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 correctly detect driver fatigue
or decreased attentiveness depending
on the road and driving conditions.
The driver must take sufficient rest in
consideration of safe driving.

Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the DriverMonitoring (DM)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the DM.
The DM does not prevent driver
drowsiness or inattentive driving 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 correctly detect driver
drowsiness or inattentive driving
depending on the road and driving
conditions. The driver must take
sufficient rest in consideration of safe
driving.
How to Use the Driver
Monitoring (DM)
Operating the drowsiness detection
function
The drowsiness detection function
operates when all of the following
conditions are met.
The vehicle has been driven for
about 20 minutes or longer.
The vehicle speed is about 5 km/h
(3 mph) or faster.
The system detects driver
drowsiness.

Cruising & Traffic Support(CTS)
*
The CTS is a system that reduces the
load on the driver while the vehicle is
driven on expressways or highways.
The CTS has the following 2 functions.
Constant speed/Headway control
function
The function performs headway
control to maintain the distance with a
vehicle ahead at a constant preset
speed without you having to depress
the accelerator or brake pedal.
Steering wheel assist function
When vehicle lane lines are detected,
the function assists your steering wheel
operation to follow the vehicle lane
lines.
When vehicle lane lines are not
detected, the function assists your
steering wheel operation to follow the
trajectory of the vehicle ahead.
Warnings and Cautionsfor Using Cruising &
Tra ffi c Support (CTS)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the CTS.

The CTS 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 CTS 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
sufficiently 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 CTS 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
traffic
where sufficient 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.
