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 3 times in amber and the warning sound is activated 3 times at the same time. If the vehicle speed continues 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 using the appropriate operation such as depressing the brake pedal.
The excessive speed warning is initially set to inoperable. If you want to activate the excessive speed warning, change the setting in the personalization features. In addition, the warning pattern and the warning activation timing differ depending on the setting contents.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
Warning pattern
-
Off: The excessive speed warning is not activated.
-
Visual: The area around the speed limit sign displayed in the display flashes 3 times in amber, and if the vehicle speed continues to exceed the displayed speed limit sign, the indication stops flashing and remains on.
-
Audio & Visual: The area around the speed limit sign displayed in the display flashes 3 times in amber and the warning sound is activated 3 times 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. -
5: If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the display by 5 km/h (3 mph), the excessive speed warning is activated.
-
10: If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the display by 10 km/h (5 mph), the excessive speed warning is activated.
-
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 personalization 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 (Search).
-
If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) incorrectly recognizes 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.
Driver Attention Alert (DAA) (Some Models)
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 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 display and a warning sound.
Use the DAA on expressways or highways.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) (Search).
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 consideration of safer driving.
-
The DAA operates when all of the following conditions are met.
-
The vehicle speed is about 65 to 140 km/h (40 to 86 mph).
-
The system detects white (yellow) lane lines.
-
The system has completed learning of the driver’s driving data.
-
-
The DAA does not operate under the following conditions.
-
The vehicle speed is less than about 65 km/h (40 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 DAA detects driver fatigue and decreased attentiveness based on the driving data when the vehicle is driven at about 65 to 140 km/h (40 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 (40 mph) for about 30 minutes.
-
The ignition is switched off.
-
-
After the DAA has displayed the first message encouraging rest, it does not display the next one until 45 minutes have passed.

For details, refer to the parking sensor obstruction detection indication and warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System (Search).
The setting can be changed so that the projected vehicle path lines are not displayed.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
How to use the projected vehicle path line function
Make sure that there are no obstructions within the projected vehicle path lines.
Drive the vehicle forward while turning the steering wheel so that no obstructions come within the projected vehicle path lines.
