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.
NOTE
The TSR is not supported in some countries or regions. For information concerning the
supported countries or regions, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
The TSR operates only if the navigation system SD card (Mazda genuine) is inserted in
the SD card slot. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for details.

Speed limit signs
When the vehicle speed is about 1 km/h
(0.6 mph) or faster, the speed limit sign
is displayed when any one of the
following conditions are met.
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
recognizes a speed limit sign as a sign
targeted for your vehicle and the

The speed limit sign stored in the
navigation system is read (if the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) does
not recognize a speed limit sign).
In the following cases, display of the
speed limit sign stops.
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
recognizes the speed limit sign and the
vehicle is driven for a certain distance
after passing the sign.
Each sensor determines that the
vehicle has changed direction of
travel.
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
recognizes a new speed limit sign
which differs from the previous one
(displays the new speed limit sign).
The speed limit sign stored in the
navigation system is not read within a
certain period of time (if the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) does not
recognize a speed limit sign, the speed
limit sign stored in the navigation
system is displayed).
The vehicle speed exceeds the
displayed speed limit sign by 30 km/h
(19 mph) or more after a certain
period of time has elapsed since the
speed limit sign
was displayed.
