Parking Sensor Systemí
The parking sensor system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect obstructions around the vehicle
while parking the vehicle in a garage or during parallel parking when the vehicle is driven
at a speed of about 10 km/h (6 mph) or less. The system is equipped with an assist device
to notify the driver of the approximate distance from the vehicle to the surrounding
obstruction using a beep sound.

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.

NOTElDo not install any accessories within the detection ranges of the sensors. It may affect the system
operation.
lDepending 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.
lThe system may not operate normally under the following conditions:lMud, ice, or snow is adhering to the sensor area (Returns to normal operation when removed).lThe sensor area is frozen (Returns to normal operation when the ice is thawed).lThe sensor is covered by a hand.lThe sensor is excessively shocked.lThe vehicle is excessively tilted.lUnder extremely hot or cold weather conditions.lThe vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, or grass covered roads.lAnything which generates ultrasound is near the vehicle, 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.
lThe vehicle is driven in heavy rain or in road conditions causing water-splash.lA commercially-available fender pole or an antenna for a radio transmitter is installed to the
vehicle.
lThe vehicle is moving towards a tall or square curbstone.lAn obstruction is too close to the sensor.lObstructions under the bumper may not be detected. Obstructions that are lower than the bumper
or thin which may have been initially detected but are no longer detected as the vehicle
approaches more closely.
lThe following types obstructions may not be detected:lThin objects such as wire or ropelThings which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snowlAngular shaped objectslVery tall objects, and those which are wide at the toplSmall, short objectslAlways 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.
lThe system may have a malfunction if the beep does not operate or the indicator light does not
illuminate when the park assist sensors switch is turned on. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
