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 re fl ect 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 re fl ecting radio waves.   Visibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead casting off water, snow, or sand from its
tires and onto your windshield.
  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 damag\
e.  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 tires of the same speci fi ed size,
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern on all four wheels. In addition, do not use tires
with signifi cantly different wear patterns or tire pressures on the same vehicle (Including
the temporary spare tire).
   If the battery power is weak, the system may not operate correctly.  When driving on roads with little traf fi c and few vehicles ahead or obstructions for
the radar sensor (front) to detect, “Front Radar Sensor Blocked” may be temporarily
displayed, however, this does not indicate a problem.

*Some models.
Radar Sensors (Rear) *
Your vehicle is equipped with radar sensors (rear). The following systems also use the radar
sensors (rear).
  Blind Spot Monitoring system (BSM)  Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA)
The radar sensors (rear) function by detecting the radio waves re fl ected off a vehicle
approaching from the rear or an obstruction sent from the radar sensor.

Radar sensors (rear)

The radar sensors (rear) are installed inside the rear bumper, one each on the left and right
sides.
Always keep the surface of the rear bumper near the radar sensors (rear\
) clean so that the
radar sensors (rear) operate normally. Also, do not apply items such as stickers.
Refer to Exterior Care on page 6-56 .
CAUTION
If the rear bumper receives a severe impact, the system may no longer operate normally.
Stop the system immediately and have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
  The detection ability of the radar sensors (rear) has limitations. In the following cases,
the detection ability may lower and the system may not operate normally.
  The rear bumper near the radar sensors (rear) has become deformed.  Snow, ice or mud adheres to the radar sensors (rear) on the rear bumper.  Under bad weather conditions such as rain, snow and fog.   Under the following conditions, the radar sensors (rear) cannot detect target objects or it
may be dif fi cult to detect them.
   Stationary objects on a road or a road side such as small, two-wheeled vehicles,
bicycles, pedestrians, animals, and shopping carts.
  Vehicle shapes which do not re fl ect 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 Authorized Mazda Dealer.
  For repairs or replacement of the radar sensors (rear), or bumper repairs, paintwork,
and replacement near the radar sensors, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
  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.

When Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
*Some models.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System *
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the pressure for each tire.
If tire pressure is too low in one or more tires, the system will inform\
the driver via the
warning light in the instrument cluster and by the warning beep sound.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning Lights on page 4-33 .
Refer to Tire Infl ation Pressure Warning Beep on page 7-42 .

The tire pressure sensors installed on each wheel send tire pressure dat\
a by radio signal to
the receiver unit in the vehicle.

Tire pressure sensors
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is low due to seasonal changes, tire temperatures are also
lower. When the tire temperature decreases, the air pressure decreases as well. The TPMS
warning light may illuminate more frequently. Visually inspect the tires daily before driving,
and check tire pressures monthly with a tire pressure gauge. When checking tire pressures,
use of a digital tire pressure gauge is recommended.


TPMS does not alleviate your need to check the pressure and condition of\
all four tires
regularly.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
System Error Activation
When the warning light fl ashes, there
may be a system malfunction. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
A system error activation may occur in the
following cases:
   When there is equipment or a device
near the vehicle using the same radio
frequency as that of the tire pressure
sensors.
   When a metallic device such as a non-
genuine navigation system is equipped
near the center of the dashboard, which
may block radio signals from the tire
pressure sensor to the receiver unit.
   When using the following devices in the
vehicle that may cause radio interference
with the receiver unit.
 A digital device such as a personal computer.
 A current converter device such as a DC-AC converter.
   When excess snow or ice adheres to the
vehicle, especially around the wheels.
   When the tire pressure sensor batteries
are exhausted.
   When using a wheel with no tire
pressure sensor installed.
   When using tires with steel wire
reinforcement in the side walls.
   When using tire chains.
Tires and Wheels
CAUTION
When inspecting or adjusting the tire
air pressures, do not apply excessive
force to the stem part of the wheel unit.
The stem part could be damaged.

Changing tires and wheels
The following procedure allows the TPMS
to recognize a tire pressure sensor's unique
ID signal code whenever tires or wheels
are changed, such as changing to and from
winter tires.
NOTE
Each tire pressure sensor has a unique
ID signal code. The signal code must be
registered with the TPMS before it can
work. The easiest way to do it is to have an
Authorized Mazda Dealer change your tire
and complete ID signal code registration.

When having tires changed at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer
When an Authorized Mazda Dealer
changes your vehicle's tires, they will
complete the tire pressure sensor ID signal
code registration.
