How to Use the Driver Personalization System

 

Facial recognition may not operate while the vehicle power is switched off to prevent lead-acid battery depletion. Perform the operation following the instructions on the Mazda Connect screen.

 

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.

 

The driver monitoring camera is located above the steering column. Facing your face forward and moving it slightly makes it easier to authenticate the driver.

 

If the vehicle power is switched ON during recognition, the driver may 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.

Refer to Driver Monitoring Camera (Search).

 

If you are authenticated as a guest or a guest is selected, the various driver settings are not stored.
