Petrol Particulate Filter
(SKYACTIV-X 2.0)
▼Petrol Particulate Filter
The petrol particulate filter collects and
removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a petrol
engine.
PM collected by the petrol particulate
filter is cleared during normal driving ,
however, PM may not be removed and
the petrol particulate filter warning
indication/warning light may
illuminate under the following
conditions:
xIf the vehicle is driven at 20 km/h
(12 mph) or less continuously.
xIf the vehicle is repeatedly driven for
a short period of time (30 minute or
less) or driven while the engine is
cold.
xIf the vehicle is idled for a long time.

engine.
PM collected by the diesel particulate
filter is cleared during normal driving ,
however, PM may not be removed and
the diesel particulate filter warning
indication/warning light may
illuminate under the following
conditions:

Rear View Monitor*
▼Rear View Monitor
The rear view monitor provides visual
images of the rear of the vehicle when
reversing.
WARNING
Always drive carefully confirming the
safety of the rear and the surrounding
conditions by looking directly with
your eyes:
Reversing the vehicle by only looking at
the screen is dangerous as it may cause
an accident or a collision with an
object. The rear view monitor is only a
visual assist device when reversing the
vehicle. The images on the screen may
be
different from the actual conditions.
CAUTION
¾Do not use the rear view monitor
under the following conditions:
Using the rear view monitor under
the following conditions is
dangerous and could result in injury
or vehicle damage or both.
¾Icy or snow-covered roads.
¾Tyre chains or a temporary spare
tyre is installed.
¾The vehicle is on a road incline.
¾When the display is cold, images
may course across the monitor or the
screen and may be dimmer than
usual, which could cause difficulty in
confirming the surrounding
conditions of the vehicle. Always
drive carefully confirming the safety
of the rear and the surrounding
conditions by looking directly with
your eyes.
¾Do not apply excessive force to the
camera. The camera position and
angle may deviate.
¾Do not disassemble, modify, or
remove it as it may no longer be
waterproof.
¾The camera cover is made of plastic.
Do not apply degreasing agents,
organic solvents, wax, or glass
coating agents to the camera cover.
If any are spilled on the cover, wipe
off with a soft cloth immediately.
¾Do not rub the camera cover
forcefully with an abrasive or hard
brush. The camera cover or lens may
be scratched which might affect the
images.
NOTE
xIf water, snow, or mud is stuck on
the camera lens, wipe it
off using a
soft cloth. If it cannot be wiped off,
use a mild detergent.
xIf the camera temperature changes
rapidly (Hot to cold, cold to hot), the
rear view monitor may not operate
correctly.
xWhen replacing the tyres, consult an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
Replacing the tyres could result in
deviation of the guide lines which
appear on the display.
xIf the vehicle's front, side, or rear has
been involved in a collision, the
alignment of the rear view parking
camera (location, installation angle)
may have deviated. Always consult
an expert repairer (we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer) to
have the vehicle inspected.

Parking Sensor System*
▼Parking Sensor System
The parking sensors use ultrasonic sensors which detect obstructions around the
vehicle when the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or parallel
parking, and a buzzer sound and detection indicator notify the driver of the
approximate distance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction.
1. Front ultrasonic sensor*
2. Front corner ultrasonic sensor*
3. Rear ultrasonic sensor
4. Rear corner ultrasonic sensor
5. Rear side ultrasonic sensor
*
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the parking sensor system and be sure to
confirm the
safety around your vehicle visually when driving:
This system can assist the driver in operating the vehicle in the forward and
backward directions while parking. The detection ranges of the sensors are limited,
therefore, driving the vehicle while relying only on the system may cause an
accident. Always
confirm the safety around your vehicle visually when driving.
CAUTION
¾Do not install any accessories within the detection ranges of the sensors. It may
affect the system operation.
¾Depending 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.
NOTE
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).

▼Parking Sensor Warning Beep
Informs the driver of the approximate distance from the vehicle to the obstruction
using warning beeps depending on the distance. If multiple obstructions are
detected at the same time, warning beeps are activated according to the distance to
the nearest obstruction. The warning beeps are activated as follows while the system
is operating. However, the warning beeps are not activated while the seat belt
reminder is operating.
