Seat Belt Systems
Seat Belt Precautions
Seat belts help to decrease the possibility of severe injury during acci\
dents and sudden
stops. Mazda recommends that the driver and all passengers always wear s\
eat belts.

(Except Mexico)
All of the seat belt retractors are designed to keep the lap/shoulder be\
lts out of the way when
not in use.
The driver's seat belt has no provisions for child-restraint systems and\
has only an
emergency locking mode. The driver may wear it comfortably, and it will lock during a
collision.
However, the front passenger's seat and all rear lap/shoulder belt retractors o\
perate in
two modes: emergency locking mode, and for child-restraint systems, automatic locking
mode. While we recommend you put all children in the rear seats, if you must u\
se the front
passenger seat for a child, slide the front passenger seat as far back a\
s possible and make
sure any child-restraint system is secured properly.

(Mexico)
All the seats have lap/shoulder belts. These belts have retractors with inertia locks that keep
them out of the way when not in use. The locks allow the belts to remain comfortable on
users, but they will lock in position during a collision.
WARNING
Always wear your seat belt and make sure all occupants are properly restrained: Not wearing a seat belt is extremely dangerous. During a collision, occupants not
wearing seat belts could hit someone or things inside the vehicle or even be thrown out of
the vehicle. They could be seriously injured or even killed. In the same collision, occupants
wearing seat belts would be much safer.

Do not wear twisted seat belts: Twisted seat belts are dangerous. In a collision, the full width of the belt is not available to
absorb the impact. This puts more force on the bones beneath the belt, which could cause
serious injury or death. So, if your seat belt is twisted, you must straighten the seat belt to
remove any twists and to allow the full width of the belt to be used.

Never use one seat belt on more than one person at a time: Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat belt used
in this way cannot spread the impact forces properly and the two passengers could
be crushed together and seriously injured or even killed. Never use one belt for more
than one person at a time and always operate the vehicle with each occupant properly
restrained.

Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light is turned off.
  The selector lever is shifted to reverse (R) and the vehicle is reversing.  The turning radius is small (making a sharp turn, turning at intersecti\
ons).   In the following cases, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator \
light turns on and
operation of the system is stopped. If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)\
OFF indicator
light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as
soon as possible.
  Some problem with the system including the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warnin\
g
indicator lights is detected.
  A large deviation in the installation position of a radar sensor (rear) on the vehicle has
occurred.
  There is a large accumulation of snow or ice on the rear bumper near a radar sensor
(rear). Remove any snow, ice or mud on the rear bumper.
  Driving on snow-covered roads for long periods.  The temperature near the radar sensors (rear) becomes extremely hot due to driving

The Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) &
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
goes on stand-by status in the following
cases:
  The system cannot detect white (yellow)
lane lines.
   The vehicle speed is less than about
60 km/h (37 mph).
   The ABS/TCS is operating.  The TCS is turned off. (If the TCS is turned off while the
system is operational, a warning beep is
heard and the system goes on standby.)
  The vehicle is making a sharp curve.  The brake pedal is depressed.  The steering wheel is operated abruptly.  The width of a lane is excessively
narrow or wide.

NOTE
   The Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)
& Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS) does not operate until the
system detects white (yellow) lane lines
on either the left or right.
  When the system detects a white
(yellow) lane line on one side only, the
system will not operate the steering
wheel operation assist and the warning
for the lane line on the side that is not
being detected. The steering wheel
operation assist and the warning is only
for a lane deviation on the side that is
being detected.
  If the driver takes his or her hands off
the steering wheel (not holding the
steering wheel), the warning sound is
activated and an alert is indicated in the
multi-information display or the active
driving display.

 If the steering wheel is held lightly, or depending on the road conditions,
the system may detect that you have
released the steering wheel (not holding
the steering wheel) even if you are
holding it, and display a message in the
multi-information display or the active
driving display.
  The timing at which the lane departure
warning is activated and the steering
wheel operation assist is performed
varies.

Viewing the Display
Guide lines which indicate the width of the vehicle (yellow) are displ\
ayed on the screen as a
reference to the approximate width of the vehicle in comparison to the w\
idth of the parking
space you are about to back into.
Use this display view for parking your vehicle in a parking space or gar\
age.

b
a

a) Vehicle width guide lines (yellow)
These guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the v\
ehicle.
b) Distance guide lines.
These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured \
from the vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).
 The red and yellow lines indicate the points about 50 cm (19 in) for t\
he red line and 100 cm (39.3 in) for the yellow lines from the rear bumper (at the ce\
nter point of each
of the lines).

CAUTION
The guide lines on the screen are fi xed lines. They are not synced to the driver's turning
of the steering wheel. Always be careful and check the area to the vehicle's rear and the
surrounding area directly with your eyes while backing up.

Rear View Monitor Operation
The operation of the rear view monitor when reversing the vehicle varies\
depending on
the traffi c, road, and vehicle conditions. The amount of steering and the timing also varies
depending on conditions, so con fi rm the surrounding conditions directly with your eyes and
steer the vehicle in accordance with the conditions.
Be well aware of the above cautions prior to using the rear view monitor\
.
NOTE
Images displayed on the monitor from the rear view parking camera are reversed images
(mirror images).

1. Shift the shift lever/selector lever to R to switch the display to the r\
ear view monitor display.
2. Confi rming the surrounding conditions, reverse the vehicle.


(Display condition) (Vehicle condition)

3. After your vehicle begins entering the parking space, continue backing u\
p slowly so that the distance between the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parkin\
g space on the left
and right are roughly equal.
4. Continue to adjust the steering wheel until the vehicle width guide line\
s are parallel to the left and right sides of the parking space.

NOTE
  If the parking space has division lines, straighten the wheels when the \
vehicle width guide
lines are parallel to them.
  Because there may be a difference between the displayed image, such as indicated below,
and the actual conditions when parking, always verify the safety at the \
rear of the vehicle
and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.
  In the image of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the screen, the back end
and distance guide lines may appear aligned in the monitor, but they may not actually
be aligned on the ground.
  When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the par\
king space, the
division line and the vehicle width guide line appear aligned in the mon\
itor, but they
may not actually be aligned on the ground.
