ØDo not adhere stickers (including transparent stickers) to the surface of the
radiator grille and front emblem in and around the radar sensor, and do not
replace the radiator grille and front emblem with any product that is not a
genuine product designed for use with the radar sensor.
ØThe radar sensor includes a function for detecting soiling of the radar sensor's
front surface and informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it
may require time to detect or it may not detect plastic shopping bags, ice or snow.
If this occurs, the system may not operate correctly, therefore always keep the
radar sensor clean.

ØIf the front part of the vehicle has been damaged in a vehicle accident, the
position of the radar sensor may have moved. Stop the system immediately and
always have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
ØDo not use the front bumper to push other vehicles or obstructions such as when
pulling out of a parking space. Otherwise, the radar sensor could be hit and its
position deviated.
ØDo not remove, disassemble, or modify the radar sensor.
ØFor repairs, replacement or paint work around the radar sensor, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
ØDo not modify the suspension. If the suspension are modified, the vehicle's posture
could change and the radar sensor may not be able to correctly detect a vehicle
ahead or an obstruction.
