Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
The LDWS alerts the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane. The system detects the white (yellow) lines on the traffic lane using the forward sensing camera (FSC) and if it determines that the vehicle might be deviating from its lane, it notifies the driver by the LDWS.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) (Search).
Use the LDWS when you drive the vehicle on roads with white (yellow) lines.

Do not rely completely on the LDWS:
-
The LDWS system is not designed to compensate for a driver’s lack of caution and relying too much on the system could lead to an accident.
-
The functions of the LDWS have limitations. Always stay on course using the steering wheel and drive with care.
Heed the following cautions so that the LDWS can operate normally.
-
Do not modify the vehicle's suspensions.
-
Always use tyres of the specified type and size for the front and rear wheels. Consult an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) for tyre replacement.
The system may not operate normally under the following conditions.
-
The white (yellow) lane lines are less visible because of dirt or paint flaking.
-
White (yellow) lane lines are less visible because of bad weather (rain, fog, or snow).
-
The vehicle is driven on a temporary lane or section with a closed lane resulting from construction where there might be multiple white (yellow) lane lines, or they are interrupted.
-
The camera picks up an obscure line, such as a temporary line being used for construction, or because of shade, unmelted snow, or grooves filled with water.
-
The surrounding brightness suddenly changes such as when entering or exiting a tunnel.
-
Back-light is reflected off the road surface.
-
The road surface is wet and shiny after rain, or there are puddles on the road.
-
The width of a lane is excessively narrow.
-
The vehicle is driven on roads with tight curves.
-
Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat causing the vehicle to tilt.
-
The vehicle is driven through a fork in the road or a junction.
-
The shade of a guardrail parallel to a white (yellow) lane line is cast on the road.
-
The illumination of the headlights is weakened because of dirt or the optical axis is deviated at night.
-
The road is excessively uneven.
-
The vehicle is shaken after hitting a road bump.
-
A vehicle in front of your vehicle is running near a white (yellow) lane line making it less visible.
-
The windscreen is dirty or foggy.
-
Strong light is directed from the front of the vehicle (such as sunlight, or headlights (high-beam) of on-coming vehicles).
-
The vehicle is driven through an intersection or a roundabout.
Excessive Speed Warning
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the active driving display/instrument cluster, the area around the speed limit sign flashes in amber and the warning sound is activated 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.

-
Vehicle is doing 90 km/h when 80 km/h speed limit sign is recognised.
-
Vehicle continues to do 90 km/h after 80 km/h speed limit sign is passed.

Instrument cluster
The excessive speed warning is initially set to visual only. If you want to activate the excessive speed warning, change the setting in the personalisation 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.
Speed Limit Sign Alert setting
-
Off: The excessive speed warning is not activated.
-
Visual: The area around the speed limit sign displayed in the display flashes in amber, and if the vehicle speed continues to exceed the displayed speed limit sign, the indication stops flashing and remains on.
-
Visual + Audible: The area around the speed limit sign displayed in the display flashes in amber and the warning sound is activated at the same time. If the vehicle speed continues to exceed the displayed speed limit sign, the indication stops flashing and remains on. The warning sound is activated continuously until the vehicle speed decreases below the speed limit sign.
Speed Limit Sign Threshold setting
-
+ 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 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 Excessive Speed Warning (Search).
-
If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or data recorded in the navigation system 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.
Driver Attention Alert (DAA) Display
When the system detects driver fatigue or decreased attentiveness, it activates the warning sound and displays an alert in the multi-information display.
