Distance & Speed Alert(DSA)
*
▼Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)
The DSA is a system which provides
advice for maintai
ning 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.
WA R N I N G
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 shift lever (manual transmission
vehicle) or the selector lever (automatic
transmission vehicle) 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 switch)
Refer to i-ACTIVSENSE Switch on
page 4-87.

If the ignition is switched OFF while
you have canceled the system using the
i-ACTIVSENSE 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
Wa r n i n 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 disp lay and a warning
sound.
Use the DAA on expressways or
highways.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
on page 4-200.

WA R N I N G
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.

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 4-211.
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)
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 a
n intersection, and
notifies the driver of possible danger using
the warning indication on the display and
the warning sound.
1. Your vehicle
WA R N I N G
Always check the surrounding area visually
when the vehicle starts to drive at an
intersection:
Due to certain limitations with the
