Do not use the front bumper to push other vehi cles or obstructions such as when pulling
out of a parking space. Otherwise, the radar sensor (front) could be hit and its position
deviated.
Do not remove, disassemble, or modify the radar sensor (front).
For repairs, replacement or paint work around the radar sensor (front), consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Do not modify the suspension. If the suspensi on are modified, the vehicle's posture could
change and the radar sensor (front) may not be able to correctly detect a vehicle ahead or
an obstruction.
NOTE
•Under the following conditions, the
radar sensor (front) may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead or obstructions
correctly and each system may not
operate normally.
•The rear surface of a vehicle ahead
does not reflect radio waves
effectively, such as an unloaded
trailer or an automobile with a
loading platform covered by a soft
top, vehicles with a hard plastic
tailgate, and round-shaped vehicles.
•Vehicles ahead with low vehicle
height and thus less area for
reflecting radio waves.
•Visibility is reduced due to a vehicle
ahead casting off water, snow, or
sand from its tyres and onto your
windscreen.
•The luggage compartment is loaded
with heavy objects or the rear
passenger seats are occupied.
•Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front
surface of the front emblem.
•During inclement weather such as
rain, snow, or sand storms.
•When driving near facilities or
objects emitting strong radio waves.
•Under the following conditions, the
radar sensor (front) may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead or obstructions.
•The beginning and end of a curve.
•Roads with continuous curves.
•Narrow lane roads due to road
construction or lane closures.
•The vehicle ahead enters the radar
sensor's blind spot.
•The vehicle ahead is running
abnormally due to accident or
vehicle damage.
•Roads with repeated up and down
slopes
•Driving on poor roads or unpaved
roads.
•The distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead is extremely
short.
•A vehicle suddenly comes close such
as by cutting into the lane.
•To prevent incorrect operation of the
system, use tyres of the same specified
size, manufacturer, brand, and tread
pattern on all four wheels. In addition,
do not use tyres with significantly
different wear patterns or tyre
pressures on the same vehicle
(Including the temporary spare tyre).
•If the battery power is weak, the system
may not operate correctly.

•Vehicle shapes which do not reflect radar waves well such as empty trailers with a low
vehicle height and sports cars.
•Vehicles are shipped with the direction of the radar sensors (rear) adjusted for each
vehicle to a loaded vehicle condition so that the radar sensors (rear) detect approaching
vehicles correctly. If the direction of the radar sensors (rear) has deviated for some
reason, have the vehicle inspected at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
•For repairs or replacement of the radar sensors (rear), or bumper repairs, paintwork, and
replacement near the radar sensors, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
•Turn off the system while pulling a trailer or while an accessory such as a bicycle carrier
is installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the radio waves emitted by the radar will
be blocked causing the system to not operate normally.
•The radar sensors are regulated by the relevant radio wave laws of the country in which
the vehicle is driven. If the vehicle is driven abroad, authorization from the country in
which the vehicle is driven may be required.

The temporary spare tyre has a tread life
of less than 5,000 km (3,000 miles). The
tread life may be shorter depending on
driving conditions.
The temporary spare tyre is for limited
use, however, if the tread wear
solid-band indicator appears, replace the
tyre with the same type of temporary
spare (page 6-45).
▼ Replacing a Wheel
WA R N I N G
Always use wheels of the correct size on
your vehicle:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is dangerous.
Braking and handling could be
affected,
leading to loss of control and an accident.
CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely affect:
Tyre fit
Wheel and bearing life
Ground clearance
Snow-chain clearance
Speedometer calibration
Headlight aim
Bumper height
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
*
NOTE
•When replacing a wheel, make sure the
new one is the same as the original
factory wheel in diameter, rim width,
and offset (inset/outset).
•For details, contact an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
Proper tyre balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tyres can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and flat spots.
