NOTE
•The displayable range varies depending on the vehicle and road conditions.
•The displayable range is limited. Objects under the bumper or around the bumper ends
cannot be displayed.
•The distance appearing in the displayed image is different from the actual distance
because the rear view parking camera is equipped with a specific lens.
•Some optionally installed vehicle accessories may be picked up by the camera. Do not
install any optional part s that can interfere with the camera view, such as illuminating
parts or parts made of reflective material.
•It may be difficult to see the display under the following conditions, however, it does not
indicate a malfunction.
•In darkened areas.
•When the temperature around the lens is high/low.
•When the camera is wet such as on a rainy day or during periods of high humidity.
•When foreign material such as mud is stuck around the camera.
•When the camera lens reflects sunlight or headlight beams.
•Image display may be delayed if the temperature around the camera is low.

FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about
40―50 km (25―30 miles) from the
source. Because of extra coding needed to
break the sound into 2 channels, stereo FM
has even less range than monaural
(non-stereo) FM.
FM Station
40—50km
(25—30 miles)
Signals from an FM transmitter are similar
to beams of light because they do not bend
around corners, but they do reflect. Unlike
AM signals, FM signals cannot travel
beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM
stations cannot be received at the great
distances possible with AM reception.
AM wave
FM wave
FM wave
100—200 km (60—120 miles) Ionosphere
Atmospheric conditions can also affect
FM reception. High
humidity will cause
poor reception. However, cloudy days may
provide better reception than clear days.
Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be reflected by
obstructions, it is possible to receive both
the direct signal and the reflected signal at
the same time. This causes a slight delay
in reception and may be heard as a broken
sound or a distortion. This problem may
also be encountered when in close
proximity to the transmitter.
Reflected wave
Direct
Flutter/Skip noise
Signals from an FM transmitter move in
straight lines and become weak in valleys
between tall buildings, mountains, and
other obstacles. When a vehicle passes
through such an area, the reception
conditions may change suddenly, resulting
in annoying noise.

WA R N I N G
Never touch the glass portion of a halogen
bulb with your bare hands and always
wear eye protection when handling or
working around the bulbs:
When a halogen bulb breaks, it is
dangerous. These bulbs contain
pressurized gas. If one is broken, it will
explode and serious injuries could be
caused by the flying glass.
If the glass portion is touched with bare
hands, body oil could cause the bulb to
overheat and explode when lit.
Always keep halogen bulbs out of the reach
of children:
Playing with a halogen bulb is dangerous.
Serious injuries could be caused by
dropping a halogen bulb or breaking it
some other way.
CAUTION
When removing the lens or lamp unit using
a flathead screwdriver, make sure that the
flathead screwdriver does not contact the
interior terminal. If the flathead screwdriver
contacts the terminal, a short circuit may
occur.
NOTE
•To replace the bulb, contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
•If the halogen bulb is accidentally
touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used.
•Use the protective cover and carton for
the replacement bulb to dispose of the
old bulb promptly and out of the reach
of children.
▼Replacing Exterior Light Bulbs
Headlights (With
LED headlights)
The LED bulb cannot be replaced as a
single unit because it is an integrated unit.
The LED bulb has to be replaced with the
unit. We recommend an Authorized
Mazda Dealer when the replacement is
necessary.
Headlights/Daytime running lights
(With halogen headlights)
High-beams bulbs/Daytime running
lights
1. Make sure the ignition is switched off, and the headligh t switch is off.
2. Lift the hood.
3. Disconnect the connector from the unit by pressing the tab on the connector
with your finger and pulling the
connector downward.

KEY Warning Light If any malfunction occurs in the
keyless entry system, it illuminates continuously.
CAUTION
If the key warning indicator light illuminates or the push button start indicator light (amber)
flashes, the engine may not start. If the engine cannot be started, try starting it using the
emergency operation for starting the engine, and have the vehicle inspected at an Author‐
ized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
Refer to Emergency Operation for Starting the Engine on page 4- 9.
Security Indicator
Light If the engine does not start with the correct key, and the secu
rity indicator light remains
illuminated or flashin g, try the following:
Make sure the key is within the o perational range for signal transmission. Switch the igni-
tion off, and then restart the engine. If the engine does not s tart after 3 or more tries, con-
tact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

High Beam Control System (HBC)
Warning Light
*
The light remains turned on if th ere is a problem with the system. Have your vehicle in-
spected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) field of view is impaired during bad weather condi-
tions (such as rain, fog, and snow) and when the windshield is dirty, the warning indica-
tion/warning light for the High Beam Control System (HBC) may display/turn on. Howev-
er, this does not indicate a problem.

Light
*
•The warning light remains turned on if there is a problem with the system. Have your
vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
•The LDWS does not operate when the warning light illuminates.
CAUTION
A problem in the system may be indicated un der the following conditions. Have your ve‐
hicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
When the light remains turned on while driving the vehicle.
When the system is canceled automatically, the light turns on. Normally, the system re‐
stores automatically and the light turns off, however, if the light remains turned on,
there may be a problem with the system.
The light does not illuminate when the ignition is switched ON.
Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specified size, and the same manufacture,
brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with significantly different wear
patterns on the same vehicle. If such improper tires are used, the LDWS may not operate
normally.
When an emergency spare tire is used, the system may not operate normally.
NOTE
If the windshield area in front of the Fo rward Sensing Camera (FSC) is fogged or ob-
structed, the light turns on temporarily. If the light remains turned on, there may be a
problem with the system.
