Rear View Monitor

(Predicted vehicle path assist lines display type)

When reversing near a three-dimensional object

When reversing near an overhanging object, the vehicle may hit the object even if

the anticipated course line does not contact the object on the screen. The position

of the object displayed on the screen is different from the actual position because

the anticipated course lines on the screen are displayed based on a horizontal road

surface. When backing up near an overhanging object, confirm the rear and

surrounding conditions directly with your eyes.

Parking Sensor System

Parking Sensor System*

▼ Parking Sensor System

The parking sensors use ultrasonic sensors which detect obstructions around the

vehicle when the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or parallel

parking, and a buzzer sound and detection indicator notify the driver of the

approximate distance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction.

1. Front ultrasonic sensor*

2. Front corner ultrasonic sensor*

3. Rear ultrasonic sensor

4. Rear corner ultrasonic sensor

5. Rear side ultrasonic sensor*

WARNING

Do not rely completely on the parking sensor system and be sure to confirm the

safety around your vehicle visually when driving:

This system can assist the driver in operating the vehicle in the forward and

backward directions while parking. The detection ranges of the sensors are limited,

therefore, driving the vehicle while relying only on the system may cause an

accident. Always confirm the safety around your vehicle visually when driving.

4-238 *Some models.

When Driving

Parking Sensor System

CAUTION

¾ Do not install any accessories within the detection ranges of the sensors. It may

affect the system operation.

¾ Depending on the type of obstruction and the surrounding conditions, the

detection range of a sensor may narrow, or the sensors may not be able to detect

obstructions.

NOTE

^ When the ignition is switched OFF, the system status before it was turned off is

maintained. For example, if the ignition is switched OFF while the parking sensor

is activated, the system will be activated when the ignition is switched ON the

next time.

^ The system may not operate normally under the following conditions:

^ Mud, ice, or snow is adhering to the sensor area (Returns to normal operation

when removed).

^ The sensor area is frozen (Returns to normal operation when the ice is thawed).

^ The sensor is covered by a hand.

^ The sensor is excessively shocked.

^ The vehicle is excessively tilted.

^ Under extremely hot or cold weather conditions.

^ The vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, grating, or grass covered roads.

^ Anything which generates ultrasonic waves such as another vehicle's horn, the

engine sound of a motorcycle, the air brake sound of a large-sized vehicle, or

another vehicle's sensors approaches the vehicle.

^ The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or in road conditions causing water-splash.

^ A commercially-available fender pole or an antenna for a radio transmitter is

installed to the vehicle.

^ The vehicle is moving towards a tall or square curbstone, or a steep grade.

^ An obstruction is too close to the sensor.

^ The vehicle is moving towards an uneven wall or stairs.

^ There are multiple obstructions.

^ The vehicle is driven in a place with low ceilings.

^ Obstructions under the bumper cannot be detected. Obstructions which are

lower than the sensor or thin may not be detected even though they were

detected once.

^ The following types of obstructions may not be detected:

^ Thin objects such as wire, rope or poles

^ Things which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snow

^ Angular shaped objects

^ Very tall objects, and those which are wide at the top

^ Small, short objects

^ Always have the system inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer if any shock is

applied to the bumpers, even in a minor accident. If the sensors are deviated, they

cannot detect obstructions.

When Driving

Parking Sensor System



The system may have a malfunction if a sound is not activated or the detection

indication is not displayed even when the parking sensor OFF switch is pressed

and the parking sensor is operable. Have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized

Mazda Dealer.

^ The system may have a malfunction if the indicator light does not turn on even

when the parking sensor OFF switch is turned on. Have your vehicle inspected by

an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

^ The system may have a malfunction if a message indicating a system malfunction is

displayed. Have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

^ A message may be displayed even when the ambient temperature is extremely

cold, or mud, ice, or snow adheres to the sensor area. Remove any foreign matter

from the sensor area.

▼ Sensor Detection Range

The sensors detect obstructions within the following range.

1. Front ultrasonic sensor detection range

2. Rear corner/Rear side ultrasonic sensor detection range

3. Rear ultrasonic sensor detection range

4. Front corner ultrasonic sensor detection range

A: About 55.0 cm (About 21.6 in)

B: About 150 cm (About 59.0 in)
