xDepending 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.
xThe system may not operate normally under the following conditions:
xMud, ice, or snow is adhering to the sensor area (Returns to normal operation when
removed).
xThe sensor area is frozen (Returns to normal operation when the ice is thawed).
xThe sensor is covered by a hand.
xThe sensor is excessively shocked.
xThe vehicle is excessively tilted.
xUnder extremely hot or cold weather conditions.
xThe vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, or grass covered roads.
xAnything 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.
xThe vehicle is driven in heavy rain or in road conditions causing water-splash.
xA commercially-available wing pole or an aerial for a radio transmitter is installed to
the vehicle.
xThe vehicle is moving towards a tall or square curbstone.
xAn obstruction is too close to the sensor.
xObstructions under the bumper may not be detected. Obstructions that are lower than the
bumper or thin which may have been initially detected may no longer be detected as the
vehicle approaches more closely to the obstruction.
xThe following types of obstructions may not be detected:
xThin objects such as wire or rope
xThings which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snow
xAngular shaped objects
xVery tall objects, and those which are wide at the top
xSmall, short objects
xAlways have the system inspected at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer if any shock is applied to the bumpers, even in a minor accident. If the
sensors are deviated, they cannot detect obstructions.
xThe 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 expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
xThe system may have a malfunction if the beep sound which indicates a system
malfunction is heard and the indicator light flashes. Consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
xThe beeper which indicates a system malfunction may not be heard if the ambient
temperature is extremely cold, or mud, ice, or snow adheres to the sensor area. Remove
any foreign material from the sensor area.

Always tow a 4WD vehicle with all four
wheels off the ground:
Towing a 4WD vehicle with either the front
or rear wheels on the ground is dangerous
as the drive train could be damaged, or the
vehicle could trail away from the tow truck
and cause an accident. If the drive train has
been damaged, transport the vehicle on a
flatbed truck.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
¾Do not tow the vehicle pointed backward
with driving wheels on the ground. This
may cause internal damage to the
transaxle.
