How to Use the Driver Personalization System

 

  • The Driver Personalization System uses the driver monitoring camera to convert the driver's facial features into numerical information. The driver monitoring camera does not store or share images, audio, or video.

  • In the following cases, the driver may not be registered or recognized correctly.

    • You are wearing sunglasses, a mask, or other accessories.

    • There is an obstruction between your face and the camera.

  • Looking forward or at the Mazda Connect screen will facilitate driver recognition.

  • If the vehicle power is switched ON during recognition, the driver will be recognized as a guest. If the vehicle power is switched ON without opening/closing the door even once, the information of the previously recognized driver is taken over.

  • If the recognition is difficult, reprogram the data. Two types of faces can be programmed, such as when wearing glasses or contact lenses.

  • If people with similar faces are programmed, they may be recognized incorrectly.
