Distance Recognition Support System (Drss) - Mazda CX-5 Owner's Manual

Distance Recognition
Support System (DRSS)
The Distance Recognition Support
System (DRSS) measures the distance
between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead
using a radar sensor (front) while the
vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19
mph or faster), and indicates a
recommended distance to maintain
between the vehicles. Furthermore, if your
vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more
closely than the appropriate distance to
maintain between the vehicles, the
vehicle-ahead indication in the multi-
information display is flashed to advise
the driver to keep a safer distance from
the vehicle ahead.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Distance
Recognition Support System (DRSS)
and always drive carefully:
The Distance Recognition Support
System (DRSS) provides advice for
safer driving and notifies the driver of
a recommended, safer distance to
maintain with a vehicle ahead. The
ability to detect a vehicle ahead is
limited depending on the type of
vehicle ahead, the weather conditions,
and the traffic conditions. Therefore,
if the accelerator and brake pedals are
not operated correctly it could lead to
an accident. Always verify the safety of
the surrounding area and depress the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safer distance from vehicles
ahead or on-coming vehicles.
