NOTE
The displayable range varies depending on the vehicle and road conditions. The displayable range is limited. Objects under the bumper or around the bumper ends
cannot be displayed.
The distance appearing in the displayed image is different from the actual distance
because the rear view parking camera is equipped with a specific lens.
Some optionally installed vehicle accessories may be picked up by the ca\
mera. Do not
install any optional parts that can interfere with the camera view, such as illuminating
parts or parts made of reflective material.
It may be difficult to see the display under the following conditions, however, it does not
indicate a malfunction.
In darkened areas. When the temperature around the lens is high/low. When the camera is wet such as on a rainy day or during periods of high \
humidity. When foreign material such as mud is stuck around the camera. When the camera lens reflects sunlight or headlight beams.

Interior Features
Audio System
Do not spill any liquid on the audio
system.
Do not insert any objects, other than CDs,
into the slot.
Radio Reception
AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce off the
ionosphere.
Therefore, they can reach longer distances
than FM signals.
Because of this, two stations may
sometimes be picked up on the same
frequency at the same time.
Station 2
Station 1 Ionosphere
FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about
40—50 km (25—30 miles) from the
source. Because of extra coding needed to
break the sound into two channels, stereo
FM has even less range than monaural
(non-stereo) FM.
FM Station
40—50km
(25—30 miles)
Signals from an FM transmitter are similar
to beams of light because they do not
bend around corners, but they do reflect.
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot
travel beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM
stations cannot be received at the great
distances possible with AM reception.

Ionosphere
Atmospheric conditions can also affect
FM reception. High humidity will cause
poor reception. However, cloudy days may
provide better reception than clear days.

WARNING
Never touch the glass portion of a
halogen bulb with your bare hands
and always wear eye protection when
handling or working around the bulbs:When a halogen bulb breaks, it is
dangerous. These bulbs contain
pressurized gas. If one is broken, it will
explode and serious injuries could be
caused by the flying glass.
If the glass portion is touched with
bare hands, body oil could cause the
bulb to overheat and explode when lit.
Always keep halogen bulbs out of the
reach of children: Playing with a halogen bulb is
dangerous. Serious injuries could be
caused by dropping a halogen bulb or
breaking it some other way.
CAUTION
When removing the lens or lamp unit
using a flathead screwdriver, make
sure that the flathead screwdriver does
not contact the interior terminal. If
the flathead screwdriver contacts the
terminal, a short circuit may occur.
NOTE
To replace the bulb, contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
If the halogen bulb is accidentally
touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used.
Use the protective cover and carton for
the replacement bulb to dispose of the
old bulb promptly and out of the reach
of children.
Replacing Exterior Light Bulbs
Headlights (With LED headlights)
Low/High beam bulbs
The LED bulb cannot be replaced as a
single unit because it is an integrated unit.
The LED bulb has to be replaced with the
unit. We recommend an Authorized Mazda
Dealer when the replacement is necessary.
Headlights (With halogen headlights)
Low-beam bulbs
1. Make sure the ignition is switched off,
and the headlight switch is off.
2. If you are changing the right bulb, start
the engine, turn the steering wheel all
the way to the left, and turn off engine.
If you are changing the left bulb, turn
the steering wheel to the right.
3. Pull the center of each plastic retainer
and remove the retainers.
