Power Steering
Power steering is only operable when
the engine is running. If the engine is off
or if the power steering system is
inoperable, you can still steer, but it
requires more physical effort.
If the steering feels stiffer than usual
during normal driving or the steering
vibrates, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
The warning indication/warning light
notifies the driver of system
abnormalities and operation conditions.
In addition, the buzzer may also activate
depending on the system abnormality or
operation condition.
Refer to Stop Vehicle in Safe Place
Immediately on page 7-22.
Refer to Power Steering Warning
Buzzer on page 7-44.
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel to the
extreme left or right for more than 5
seconds with the engine running. This
could damage the power steering system.

Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)*
The adaptive front lighting system (AFS) automatically ad justs the headlight beams to the
left or right in conjunction with the operation of the steering wheel after the headlights have
been turned on.
A system malfunction or operation co nditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Contact Authorized Mazda Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on page 7-25.
NOTE
The Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) func tion can be switched to operable/inoperable
using the personalization function.

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 (40 to 87 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 display and a warning sound.
Use the DAA on expressways or highways.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) on page 4-256.
WARNING
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.

set speed. Adjust the system to the desired vehicle speed using the accelerator pedal.
How to set the distance-between-ve hicles during headway control

Resume driving information
If you do not resume driving within a few sec onds after the vehicle ahead starts moving, the
multi-information display vehicle-ahead indicat ion flashes to urge the driver to resume
driving.
▼ Cruise Control Function
While this function is operating, the
headway control operation is canceled and
only the cruise contro
l function operates.
The vehicle speed can be set more than
about 25 km/h (16 mph).
Use the cruise control function on
expressways and other highways which do
not require a lot of repeated acceleration
and deceleration.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control function in
the following locations:
Otherwise, it could lead to an accident.
 Roads with sharp curves and where
vehicle traffic is heavy and there is
insufficient space between vehicles.
(Driving under these conditions using the
cruise control function is not possible)
 Steep down slopes (Set speed may be
exceeded because sufficient engine
braking cannot be applied)
 Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound
roads (Tires could spin causing you to
lose vehicle control)
Always drive carefully:
The warnings and brake control will not
operate after the headway control function
is canceled and the system is switched to
only the cruise control function. Depress
the brake pedal to decelerate according to
the surrounding conditions while keeping a
safer distance from the vehicle ahead and
always driving carefully.
Switching to cruise control function
Steering wheel (Type A)
When the MODE switch is pressed until
the system switches to the cruise main
indication (white) while the MRCC with
Stop & Go function system is turned on,
the system switches to the cruise control
function.
Steering wheel (Type B)
Use Mazda Connect to switch to the cruise
control function.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda
Connect Owner's Manual.

When the system switches to the cruise
control function, the indicator and
multi-information display notify the driver
as follows:
The MRCC with Stop & Go function set
indication (green) or the MRCC with
Stop & Go function main indication
(white) is turned off, and the cruise main
indication (white) is turned on.
A message is displayed in the
multi-information display.

Traffic Jam Assist (TJA)*
The TJA is a system which consists of a headway control function and a steering assist
function for reducing driver fatigue during traffic jams when driving on expressways or
highways.
This system performs headway control to maintain a constant distance between your vehicle
and a vehicle ahead at a preset vehicle speed without you having to use the accelerator or
brake pedal. Even further, with the steering assist function, when vehicle lane lines are
detected, the function assists the driver in k eeping the vehicle within the lane lines. If lane
lines are not detected, the function provides th e driver driving assistance in keeping the
vehicle along the motion path with the vehicle ahead.
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on TJA:
 The TJA is not an automated driving system. In addition, the functions have 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 acco rding to the road conditions and the weather
conditions.
 The TJA 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. Add\
itionally, the
system might be unable to decelerate suffic iently if a vehicle ahead applies the brakes
suddenly, another vehicle cuts into the driving lane, or the difference in vehicle speed
between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is larger, which could result in an accident.
Check the surrounding conditions and always drive carefully while keeping a safe distance
from vehicles ahead and on-coming vehicles.

For the purposes of safety, switch the TJA off when it is not being used.
Leaving the TJA turned on when it is not in us e is dangerous as it could operate unexpectedly,
resulting in an accident.

Do not use the TJA under the following conditions. Otherwise, it may result in an accident.
 General roads other than expressways or high ways (Driving under these conditions using
the TJA is not possible.)
 Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle tr affic is heavy with insufficient space between
vehicles, or roads where frequent and repet itive acceleration and deceleration occur
(Driving under these conditions using the TJA is not possible).
