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 (caut ion)
Much more fatigue and sleepiness
are detected: Warning pattern

WARNING
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 mi nutes 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 4-81.
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.

When the Driver Monitoring (DM)
detects driver fatigue or sleepiness, it

Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function)
*
▼ Mazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function)
The MRCC with Stop & Go function is
a system designed to enable
constant-speed driving at a set speed
and headway control to maintain a
constant distance with a vehicle ahead
according to your vehicle speed. The
system automatically accelerates,
decelerates, and stops your vehicle
without you having to depress the
accelerator or brake pedal.

Also refer to the following information
before using the MRCC with Stop &
Go function.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-71.
Refer to Front Radar Sensor on page
4-77.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the MRCC
with Stop & Go function and always
drive carefully:
The MRCC with Stop & Go function
may not be able to detect a vehicle
ahead depending on the type of
vehicle and its conditions, the weather
conditions, and the road conditions.
Additionally, the system might be
unable to decelerate su
fficiently if the
vehicle ahead applies the brakes
suddenly or another vehicle cuts into
your lane, which could result in an
accident.
Always check the surrounding
conditions and depress the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safe distance from a vehicle
ahead or a vehicle following behind
you.
Do not use the system under the
following conditions. Otherwise, it
may result in an accident:
 The vehicle is driven on roads other
than highways.
 The vehicle is driven on roads with
sharp curves or with heavy tra ffic
where su fficient distances between
vehicles cannot be kept.
 The vehicle is driven on roads where
acceleration and deceleration are
frequently repeated.
 The vehicle is exiting the main lane
on an expressway to enter an
interchange, a rest area, or a parking
area.
 The vehicle is driven on slippery
roads such as icy roads,
snow-covered roads, and unpaved
roads.
 The vehicle is driven on a long
downslope.
 The vehicle is driven on a steep
slope.
 A two-wheeled vehicle such as a
motorcycle or bicycle is traveling
ahead.
 The vehicle is being towed.
 Proximity warnings activate
frequently.
Switch the MRCC with Stop & Go
function off when it is not being used.
Leaving the MRCC with Stop & Go
function on when it is not in use is
dangerous as it could operate
unexpectedly, resulting in an accident.
