i-ACTIVSENSE OFF symbol (warning/risk avoidance support system)

System OFF status

If all the systems are cancelled using the personalisation features or the i-ACTIVSENSE switch, the i-ACTIVSENSE OFF symbol (Warning/risk avoidance support system) is displayed.

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.

1. Vehicle is doing 90 km/h when 80 km/h speed limit sign is recognised.

2. Vehicle continues to do 90 km/h after 80 km/h speed limit sign is passed.

4. 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.

The DSA is a system which provides advice for maintaining the appropriate distance between vehicles and notifies the driver of the recommended, safe distance to maintain with a vehicle ahead. The system measures the distance between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead while the vehicle speed is about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster. If the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is continuously close, the system alerts the driver of a possible collision using an indication on the display and suppresses your vehicle speed^*1 to prevent it from approaching the vehicle ahead too closely.

1. The function which suppresses your vehicle speed is not available in some markets.

 

---

Do not rely completely on the DSA:

The ability of the system to detect a vehicle ahead is limited depending on the type of vehicle ahead, weather conditions, or traffic conditions. In addition, the system is not for maintaining the distance between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead. If you neglect to operate the accelerator and brake pedals correctly, it could lead to an accident. Always check the safety of the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a safe distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
