▼Excessive Speed Warning
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the active driving display, the
area around the speed limit sign flashes three times in amber a nd the warning sound is
activated three times at the same time. If the vehicle speed co ntinues to exceed the displayed
speed limit sign, the indication stops flashing and remains on. Check the surrounding
conditions and adjust the vehicle speed to the legal speed usin g the appropriate operation
such as depressing the brake pedal.

The excessive speed warning is in itially set to inoperable. If you want to activate the
excessive speed warning, change the setting in the personalisat ion features. In addition, the
warning pattern and the warning activation timing differ depending on the setting contents.
Refer to Personalisation Features on page 9-12.
Warning pattern
•Off: The excessive speed warning is not activated.
•Visual: The area around the speed limit sign displayed in the display flashes three times in
amber, and if the vehicle speed continues to exceed the display ed speed limit sign, the
indication stops flashing and remains on.
•Audio & Visual: The area around the speed limit sign displayed in the display flashes
three times in amber and the warning sound is activated three t imes at the same time. If
the vehicle speed continues to exceed the displayed speed limit sign, the indication stops
flashing and remains on.
Warning activation timing
• 0: If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the display, the
excessive speed warning is activated.

• 10: If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the display by 10
km/h (6.2 mph), the excessive speed warning is activated.
NOTE
•In the following cases, the excessive speed warning stops operating.
•The vehicle speed is less than the speed of the displayed speed limit sign. (If the
activation timing for the excessive speed warning is changed in the personalisation
features, the excessive speed warning stops operating when the vehicle speed is less
than the changed vehicle speed.
•A speed limit sign indication has been updated and the vehicle speed is lower than the
updated indication.
•Display of the speed limit sign stops.
•The warning indication is displayed at the same time the excessive speed warning sound
is activated if the vehicle speed exceeds the speed indicated on the speed limit sign.
Refer to Warning Sound is Activated on page 7-63.
•The TSR can recognise a speed limit sign with an auxiliary sign and display it, but it
cannot determine the indication on the auxiliary sign (such as time restrictions, turning
restrictions, end of section). Therefore, the excessive speed warning is activated when the
vehicle speed exceeds the displayed speed limit sign even if the conditions indicated on
the auxiliary sign do not apply to the vehicle.
•If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) incorrectly recognises the actual speed limit sign
at a lower speed, the excessive speed alarm is activated even if the vehicle is driven at the
legal speed.

Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)*
The DRSS measures the distance between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar
sensor (front) while the vehicle speed is about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster, and if your
vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely than what is ap propriate for maintaining
distance between the vehicles according to the vehicle speed, a notification in the active
driving display is indicated to advise you to keep a safe dista nce from the vehicle ahead.
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the DRSS and always drive carefully:
The DRSS provides advice for safer driving and
notifies the driver of a recommended, safer
distance to maintain with a vehicle ahead. The ability to detect a vehicle ahead is limited
depending on the type of vehicle ahead, the weather conditions, and the traffic conditions.
Therefore, if the accelerator and brake pedals ar e not operated correctly it could lead to an
accident. Always verify the safety of the su rrounding area and depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal while keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
NOTE
•The DRSS operates when all of the following conditions are met:
•The ignition is switched ON.
•The DRSS is on.
•The selector lever is in a position other than reverse (R).
•The vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19 mph or faster).
•The objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles.
•The DRSS may also operate in the presence of motorcycles and bicycles.
•The DRSS may not operate normally under the following conditions:
•The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) has a malfunction.
•The vehicle ahead is travelling at an extremely slow speed.
•The system does not operate with the following objects:
•Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.
•Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
▼Indication on Display
The DRSS operation status is indi
cated in the active driving display or multi-information
display. Regarding malfunctions, check the vehicle conditions o r have it inspected by an
expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer acco rding to the content of
the displayed message.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-42.

NOTE
•When the ignition is switched off, the operation status before the system was turned off is
maintained. For example, if th e ignition is switched off with the DRSS operable, the
system will be operable when the ig nition is switched ON the next time.
•The DRSS can be turned on/off and the system's sensitivity can be changed.

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 d riven inside traffic lane lines at about 65 to 140 km/h (41 to 86 mph),
the DAA estimates the amount of accumulated fatigue and decreas ed 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 4-196.
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on DAA and always drive carefully:
The DAA detects driver fatigue and decreased atte ntiveness 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 consideration of safer driving.
NOTE
•The DAA operates when all of the following conditions are met.
