Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) (Some Models)

The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) helps prevent the driver from overlooking traffic signs, and provides support for safer driving by displaying traffic signs on the active driving display which are recognised by the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or recorded in the navigation system while the vehicle is driven.

If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the active driving display while the vehicle is driven, the system notifies the driver using the indication in the active driving display and a warning sound.

The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) displays the speed limit (including auxiliary signs) and do not enter signs.

 

  • The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) is not supported in some countries or regions. For information concerning the supported countries or regions, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

  • The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) operates only if the navigation system SD card (Mazda genuine) is inserted in the SD card slot. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer for details.

Close Note

 

Always check the traffic signs visually while driving.

The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) helps prevent the driver from overlooking traffic signs and provides support for safer driving. Depending on the weather conditions or problems with traffic signs, a traffic sign may not be recognised or a traffic sign different from the actual traffic sign may be displayed. Always make it your responsibility as a driver to check the traffic signs. Otherwise, it could result in an unexpected accident.

Close Warning

 

  • The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) does not operate if there is a malfunction in the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).

  • Under the following conditions, the Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) may not operate normally.

    • An object placed on the instrument panel is reflected in the windscreen and picked up by the camera.

    • Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat and the vehicle is tilted.

    • The tyre pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.

    • Tyres other than standard tyres are equipped.

    • The vehicle is driven on the ramp and surrounding area to or from a rest area or a tollgate on a highway.

    • When surrounding brightness suddenly changes such as when entering or exiting a tunnel.

    • The illumination of the headlights is weakened because of dirt or the optical axis is deviated.

    • The windscreen is dirty or foggy.

    • The windscreen and camera are fogged (water droplets).

    • Strong light is directed at the front of the vehicle (such as backlight or high-beam headlights of on-coming vehicles).

    • The vehicle is making a sharp turn.

    • Strong light reflects off the road.

    • A traffic sign is in a position which makes it difficult to reflect the light from the vehicle's headlights, such as when the vehicle is driven at night or in a tunnel.

    • The vehicle is driven under weather conditions such as rain, fog, or snow.

    • The stored map data for the navigation system is not current.

    • The camera cannot capture a traffic sign's image.

    • A traffic sign is obscured by mud or snow.

    • A traffic sign is concealed by trees or a vehicle.

    • A traffic sign is partially shaded.

    • A traffic sign is bent or warped.

    • A traffic sign is too low or too high.

    • A traffic sign is too bright or too dark (including electronic traffic signs).

    • A traffic sign is too big or too small.

    • There is an object similar to the traffic sign being read (such as another traffic sign or other signs resembling it).

  • The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) does not operate if the active driving display is set to non-display.

  • The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) can be set to inoperable.

    Refer to Personalisation Features (Search).

Traffic Sign Display Indication

The following traffic signs are displayed on the active driving display.

Speed limit signs (including auxiliary signs)

Inclement weather speed limit sign

Do not enter signs

The above indications are some examples.

If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cannot classify an auxiliary sign (such as time restrictions, turning restrictions, end of section) correctly, the following screen is displayed.

If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cannot correctly recognise a traffic sign while the vehicle is driven, the following screen is displayed.

 

Speed limit signs (including auxiliary 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) recognises a speed limit sign as a sign targeted for your vehicle and the vehicle passes it.

    • The speed limit sign stored in the navigation system is read (if the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) does not recognise a speed limit sign).

  • Inclement weather speed limit signs are displayed when all of the following conditions are met.

    • The vehicle speed is about 1 km/h (0.6 mph) or more.

    • The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognises an inclement weather speed limit sign as a sign targeted for your vehicle and the vehicle passes it.

    • The inclement weather speed limit sign is lower than the currently displayed speed limit sign.

    • The windscreen wipers are operated.

  • In the following cases, display of the speed limit sign stops.

    • The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognises 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 display of a speed limit sign does not stop even if the vehicle changes lanes while a "ZONE" auxiliary sign is displayed.)

    • The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognises 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 recognise 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. (Except when there is information for the speed limit sign in the navigation system)

Do not enter signs

  • A do not enter sign is displayed when all of the following conditions are met.

    • The vehicle speed is about 80 km/h (50 mph) or slower.

    • The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognises a do not enter sign as a sign targeted for your vehicle and the vehicle passes it.

  • In the following case, the display of the do not enter sign stops.

    • The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognises the do not enter sign and a certain period of time has elapsed since the vehicle passed the sign.

Excessive Speed Warning

If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed on the active driving display, the warning sound is activated and the area around the speed limit sign displayed on the active driving 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. 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 personalisation features.

    • Off: The excessive speed warning is not activated.

    • Warning display only: The area around the speed limit sign 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.

    • Warning display warning sound: The area around the speed limit sign 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 and the warning sound 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 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 conditions for activating the excessive speed warning are not met.

    • 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).

  • The Traffic Sign Recognition System (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) displays a speed limit sign which was recognised incorrectly, the excessive speed alarm is activated even if the vehicle is driven at the legal speed.

  • The following settings can be changed for the excessive speed warning.

    • Warning sound and indication pattern

    • Timing at which the warning is activated

    Refer to Personalisation Features (Search).
