Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)*
▼Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
The TSR helps prevent the driver from overlooking traffic signs , and provides support for
safer driving by displaying traffic signs on the active driving display/instrument cluster
which are recognized by the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or rec orded in the navigation
system while the v ehicle is driven.
The TSR displays the speed limit , do not enter, and traffic stop signs.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the active driving display/
instrument cluster while the veh icle is driven, the system noti fies the driver using the
indication in the active driving display/instrument cluster and a warning sound.

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:
Warning pattern (caution)
Much more fatigue and sleepiness are
detected: Warning pattern (warning)

WA R N I N G
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 minutes 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 4-209.
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

cruising speed has been set.
▼Activation/Deactivation
WA R N I N G
Always turn
off the cruise control system
when it is not in use:
Leaving the cruise control system in an
activation-ready state while the cruise
control is not in use is dangerous as the
cruise control could unexpectedly activate
if the activation button is accidentally
pressed, and result in loss of vehicle control
and an accident.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched OFF, the
system status before it was turned off is
maintained. For example, if the ignition is
switched OFF with the cruise control
system operable, the system will be
operable when the ignition is switched ON
the next time.
Activation
To activate the system, press the cruise
switch. The cruise standby indication
(white) turns on.
Deactivation
To deactivate the system, press the cruise

Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS)
▼Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
The TPMS monitors the air pressure of
each tire and if it decreases below the
specified value, the system notifies the
driver by turning on the TPMS warning
light in the instrument cluster and
indicating a message on the
multi-information display.
For the TPMS, the air pressure data sent
from the tire pressure s
ensors installed on
each wheel via radio signal is received by
the receiver unit in t he vehicle to monitor
the tire pressures.
1. Tire pressure sensors

In addition, the current tire pressures can
be checked using the center display.
Refer to the Information section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is low,
the tire temperatures also decrease. If
the tire temperatures decrease, the air
pressure in the tires will also decrease
which could turn on the TPMS warning
light.
Before driving, visually inspect the tires
for abnormalities. Additionally, inspect
the tire pressures monthly. A digital type
air pressure gauge is recommended for
inspecting the tire pressures.
The TPMS is not a substitute for your own
periodic inspection of the tires. Always
inspect the tires yourself periodically.
CAUTION
 Each tire, includ ing the spare (if
provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the
inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
