2008 MAZDA MODEL CX-7 park assist

Black plate (159,1)
Brake System
qFoot Brake
Your Mazda has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
use.
Should power-assist fail, you can stop by
applying greater force than normal to the
brake pedal. But the distance required to
stop will be greater than usual.
WARNING
Do not coast with the engine stalled or
turned off, find a safe place to stop:
Coasting with the engine stalled or
turned off is dangerous. Braking will
require more effort, and the brake's
power-assist could be depleted if you
pump the brake. This will cause
longer stopping distances or even an
accident.
Shift to a lower gear when going down
steep hills: Driving with your foot continuously
on the brake pedal or steadily
applying the brakes for long
distances is dangerous. This causes
overheated brakes, resulting in
longer stopping distances or even
total brake failure. This could cause
loss of vehicle control and a serious
accident. Avoid continuous
application of the brakes.
WARNING
Dry brakes that have become wet by
driving very slowly and applying the
brakes lightly until brake performance
is normal:Driving with wet brakes is
dangerous. Increased stopping
distance or the vehicle pulling to one
side when braking could result in a
serious accident. Light braking will
indicate whether the brakes have
been affected.
qParking Brake
WARNING
Before leaving the driver's seat, always
put the key or start knob to LOCK
position, set the parking brake and
make sure the shift lever is in P:
Intentionally placing the key or start
knob into LOCK position is much
more important where you will not
be removing the key to leave the
vehicle and because leaving it in
other positions will disable some of
the vehicle security systems and run
the battery down.
Leaving the driver's seat without
putting the ignition switch in LOCK
position, setting the parking brake
and the shift lever is in P is
dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur. This could
cause an accident.
CAUTION
Driving with the parking brake on
will cause excessive wear of the brake
linings or pads.

Rear View Monitor Cautions
The rear view monitor is a visual assist system when reversing the vehicle that provides
images from the rear of the vehicle.
Note
l
If water, snow, or mud is stuck on the camera lens, wipe it off using a soft cloth. If it cannot
be wiped off, use a mild detergent.
l If the camera temperature changes rapidly, such as by pouring hot water on it under cold
temperature conditions, the rear view monitor may not operate correctly.
Rear View Parking Camera Location
The rear view monitor is only a visual assist device when reversing the vehicle. The images on
the screen may be different from the actual conditions. Always drive carefully confirming the
safety of the rear and the surrounding conditions by looking directly with your eyes. Reversing the
vehicle by only looking at the screen may cause an accident or a collision with an object.
lWhen the display is cold, images may course across the monitor or the screen
and may be dimmer than usual, which could cause difficulty in confirming the
surrounding conditions of the vehicle. Always drive carefully confirming the safety
of the rear and the surrounding conditions by looking directly with your eyes.
l Do not apply excessive force to the camera. The camera position and angle
may deviate.
l Do not disassemble, modify, or remove it as it may no longer be waterproof.
l The camera cover is made of plastic. Do not apply degreasing agents,
organic solvents, wax, or glass coating agents to the camera cover. If any
are spilled on the cover, wipe off with a soft cloth immediately.
l Do not rub the cover excessively, or polish it using an abrasive compound or
a hard brush. The cover may be damaged affecting the image.
