1. Cameras
2. Ultrasonic sensors
3. Front/Rear side radar sensors
WARNING
Always confirm the safety of the area
around the vehicle with the mirrors
and directly with your eyes when
driving:
The 360°View Monitor is an auxiliary
device which assists the driver in
checking the safety of the area around
the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and
detection range of the sensors are
limited. For example, the areas in black
at the front and rear of the vehicle
image and the seams where each of
the camera images merge are blind
spots where an obstruction may not be
visible. In addition, the extended
vehicle width lines and projected
vehicle path lines are only to be used
as references, and the images on the
screen may differ from the actual
conditions.
CAUTION
¾Do not use the 360°View Monitor
under any of the following
conditions.
¾Icy or snow-covered roads.
¾Tyre chains or a temporary spare
tyre is installed.
¾The front or rear doors are not fully
closed.
¾The vehicle is on a road incline.
¾The door mirrors are retracted.
¾Do not hit the front/rear camera,
front bumper, liftgate, and door
mirrors forcefully. The camera
position or installation angle may
shift.
¾The cameras are waterproof. Do not
disassemble, modify, or remove a
camera.
¾The camera cover is made of hard
plastic, therefore do not apply oil
film remover, organic solvents, wax,
or coating agents. If any such agent
gets on the camera cover, wipe it off
using a soft cloth immediately.
¾Do not rub the camera lens
forcefully, or clean it with an abrasive
or hard brush. Otherwise, it could
scratch the camera lens and
negatively affect the images.

assure that the 360°View Monitor
operates normally.
¾Do not modify the vehicle
suspensions or lower/raise the
vehicle body, or both.
¾Always use tyres 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.
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 camera lens is touched or there
is any dirt on it, it could affect the
screen image. Wipe the lens using a
soft cloth.
xIf the area where the camera is
installed, such as the front bumper,
liftgate or door mirrors, has been
damaged in a vehicle accident, the
camera (position, installation angle)
may have shifted. Always consult an
expert repairer (we recommend 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, the
screen might be temporarily difficult
to view, however, this does not
indicate a problem.
xThe 360°View Monitor has
limitations. Objects under the
bumper or near both ends of the
bumper cannot be displayed.
xObstructions above the upper image
range of the camera are not
displayed.
xUnder the following conditions, the
screen might be difficult to view,
however this does not indicate a
problem.

high/low.
xRainy conditions, water droplets
on the camera, or high humidity.
xMud or foreign matter near the
camera.

warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-252.
¾Do not turn the steering wheel any more until the vehicle has passed the
obstruction, even if the obstruction is not visible on the side view image. If the
steering wheel is turned even more, the vehicle may contact the obstruction if it is
turned sharply.
NOTE
xBecause there might be a
difference between the image displayed on the screen
and the actual conditions, always check the safety of the surrounding area using
the mirrors and directly with your eyes when driving.
xEven though the object displayed on the screen, such as a road curb or a division
line of a parking space, and the vehicle parallel guide lines appear parallel, they
may not actually be parallel.

▼Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). The
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is
positioned near the rearview mirror
and used by the following systems.
xHigh Beam Control System (HBC)xAdaptive LED Headlights (ALH)xLane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)
xTraffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)xDistance & Speed Alert (DSA)xDriver Attention Alert (DAA)xMazda Radar Cruise Control

1. Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)

The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
determines the conditions ahead of
the vehicle while travelling at night and
detects traffic lanes. The distance in
which the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) can detect objects varies
depending on the surrounding
conditions.
WARNING
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is
changed, the system will not be able to
correctly detect vehicles ahead. This
will result in the system not operating
normally or mistakenly operating,
which could cause a serious accident.
CAUTION
¾Do not apply accessories, stickers or
film to the windscreen near the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
If the area in front of the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens is
obstructed, it will cause the system
to not operate correctly.
Consequently, each system may not
operate normally which could lead
to an unexpected accident.
¾Do not disassemble or modify the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
Disassembly or
modification of the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) will
cause a malfunction or mistaken
operation. Consequently, each
system may not operate normally
which could lead to an unexpected
accident.
¾Heed the following cautions to
assure the correct operation of the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
¾Be careful not to scratch the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
lens or allow it to get dirty.
¾Do not remove the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) cover.
¾Do not place objects on the
instrument panel which reflect
light.
