Do not attach objects on or around the area where a side air bag deploys:
Attaching objects to the front seat in such a way as to cover the outboard side of the seat in
any way is dangerous. In an accident the object could interfere with the side air bag, which
inflates from the outboard side of the front seats, impeding the added protection of the side
air bag system or redirecting the air bag in a way that is dangerous. Furthermore, the bag
could be cut open releasing the gas.
Do not hang net bags, map pouches or backpacks with side straps on the front seats. Never
use seat covers on the front seats. Always keep the side air bag modules in your front seats
free to deploy in the event of a side collision.
Do not attach objects on or around the area where a curtain air bag deploys:
Attaching objects to the areas where the curtain air bag activates such as on the windscreen
glass, side door glass, front and rear window pillars and along the roof edge and assist grips is
dangerous. In an accident the object could interfere with the curtain air bag, which
inflates
from the front and rear window pillars and along the roof edge, impeding the added
protection of the curtain air bag system or redirecting the air bag in a way that is dangerous.
Furthermore, the bag could be cut open releasing the gas.
Do not place hangers or any other objects on the assist grips. When hanging clothes, hang
them on the coat hook directly. Always keep the curtain air bag modules free to deploy in the
event of a side collision or roll-over accident.
Do not touch the components of the supplementary restraint system after the air bags have
inflated:
Touching the components of the supplementary restraint system after the air bags have
inflated is dangerous. Immediately after inflation, they are very hot. You could get burned.
Never install any front-end equipment to your vehicle:
Installation of front-end equipment, such as frontal protection bar (kangaroo bar, bull bar,
push bar, or other similar devices), snowplow, or winches, is dangerous. The air bag crash
sensor system could be
affected. This could cause air bags to
inflate unexpectedly, or it could
prevent the air bags from inflating during an accident. Front occupants could be seriously
injured.
Do not modify the suspension:
Modifying the vehicle suspension is dangerous. If the vehicle's height or the suspension is
modified, the vehicle will be unable to accurately detect a collision or roll-over accident
resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the possibility of serious injuries.

The functions of the LDWS have limitations:
Always stay on course using the steering wheel and drive with care. The system is not
designed to compensate for a driver’s lack of caution and if you rely too much on the LDWS it
could lead to an accident. The driver is responsible for assuring lane changes and other
manoeuvres. Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is travelling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
Do not modify the suspension. If the vehicle height or the damping force of the suspensions is
changed, the LDWS may not operate correctly.
NOTE
xIf your vehicle deviates from its traffic lane, the LDWS operates (warning sound and
indicator light). Steer the vehicle adequately to drive the vehicle to the centre of the lane.
xWhen the direction indicator lever is operated for a lane change, the LDWS warning is
automatically cancelled. The LDWS warning becomes operable when the direction
indicator lever is returned and the system detects the white or yellow lines.
xIf the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white or yellow line, the system determines that the driver is
making a lane change and the LDWS warning is automatically cancelled.
xThe LDWS may not operate during the period immediately after the vehicle has deviated
from its lane and the LDWS has operated, or the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly
within a short period of time.
xThe LDWS does not operate if it does not detect the white or yellow lines of the traffic
lane.
xUnder the following conditions, the LDWS may not be able to detect white or yellow lines
correctly and the LDWS may not operate correctly.
xIf an object placed on the instrument panel is reflected in the windscreen and picked up
by the camera.
xHeavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat and the
vehicle is inclined.
xThe tyre pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.
xWhen the vehicle is driven on the entry and exit to or from the rest area or tollgate of a
highway.
xThe white or yellow lines are less visible because of dirt or paint flaking.
xThe vehicle ahead is running near a white or yellow line and the line is less visible.
xA white or yellow line is less visible because of bad weather (rain, fog, or snow).
xThe vehicle is driven on a temporary lane or section with a closed lane due to
construction.

Do not rely completely on the LAS & LDWS:
¾The LAS & LDWS is not an automatic driving system. In addition, the system is not designed
to compensate for a driver's lack of caution, and over-reliance on the system could lead to
an accident.
¾The detection ability of the LAS & LDWS is limited. Always stay on course using the steering
wheel and drive with care.
Do not use the LAS & LDWS in the following cases:
The system may not operate adequately according to the actual driving conditions, resulting
in an accident.
¾Driving on roads with tight curves.
¾Driving under bad weather conditions (rain, fog, and snow).
¾Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads.
¾Roads with heavy traffic and insufficient distance between vehicles.
¾Roads with no white (yellow) lane lines.
¾Narrow roads resulting from road construction or lane closures.
¾The vehicle is driven on a temporary lane or section with a closed lane resulting from road
construction where there may be multiple white (yellow) lane lines or they are interrupted.
¾Vehicle is driven on roads other than expressways and highways.
¾The tyre pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.
¾Tyres of a different specified size are used, such as an emergency spare tyre.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
Heed the following cautions so that the LAS & LDWS can operate normally.
¾Do not modify the suspensions.
¾Always use wheels of the specified type and size for the front and rear wheels. Consult an
expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer for tyre replacement.
NOTE
xWhen the direction indicator lever is operated for a lane change, the LAS & LDWS is
automatically disabled. The LAS & LDWS becomes operational again when the direction
indicator lever is returned and the system detects white (yellow) lane lines while the
vehicle is being driven normally within its vehicle lane.

¾When the display is cold, images may leave trails or the screen might be darker than usual,
making it difficult to check the vehicle surroundings. Always confirm the safety at the front
and around the vehicle visually when driving.
¾The method for parking/stopping the vehicle using the 360°View Monitor differs depending
on the road circumstances/conditions and the vehicle conditions. When and how much you
turn the steering wheel will differ depending on the situation, , therefore always check the
vehicle surroundings directly with your eyes while using the system.
Also, before using the system, always make sure that the vehicle can be parked/stopped in
the parking/stopping space.
NOTE
xIf there are water droplets, snow, or mud on the camera lens, wipe it off using a soft cloth.
If the camera lens is especially dirty, wash it off with mild detergent.
xIf the area where the camera is installed, such as the liftgate/boot or door mirrors, has
been damaged in a vehicle accident, the camera (position, installation angle) may have
shifted. Always consult an Authorised Mazda Repairer to have the vehicle inspected.
xIf the camera is subjected to excessive changes in temperature such as by pouring hot
water on the camera during cold weather, the 360°View Monitor may not operate
normally.
xIf the battery voltage is low or the engine is restarted by the i-stop function, the screen
might be temporarily difficult to view, however, this does not indicate a problem.

an obstruction.
NOTE
xUnder 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.
xThe 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.
xVehicles ahead with low vehicle
height and thus less area for
reflecting radio waves.
xVisibility is reduced due to a vehicle
ahead casting off water, snow, or
sand from its tyres and onto your
windscreen.
xThe boot/luggage compartment is
loaded with heavy objects or the rear
passenger seats are occupied.
xIce, snow, or soiling is on the front
surface of the front emblem.
xDuring inclement weather such as
rain, snow, or sand storms.
xWhen driving near facilities or
objects emitting strong radio waves.
xUnder the following conditions, the
radar sensor (front) may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead or obstructions.
xThe beginning and end of a curve.
xRoads with continuous curves.
xNarrow lane roads due to road
construction or lane closures.
xThe vehicle ahead enters the radar
sensor's blind spot.
xThe vehicle ahead is running
abnormally due to accident or
vehicle damage.
