¾Do not adhere stickers (including
transparent stickers) to the surface of
the radiator grille and front emblem
in and around the front radar sensor,
and do not replace the radiator grille
and front emblem with any product
that is not a genuine product
designed for use with the front radar
sensor.
¾The front radar sensor includes a
function for detecting soiling of the
radar sensor's front surface and
informing the driver, however,
depending on the conditions, it may
require time to detect or it may not
detect plastic shopping bags, ice or
snow. If this occurs, the system may
not operate correctly, therefore
always keep the front radar sensor
clean.
¾Do not install a grille guard.
¾If the front part of the vehicle has
been damaged in a vehicle accident,
the position of the front radar sensor
may have moved. Stop the system
immediately and always have the
vehicle inspected at an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
¾Do not use the front bumper to push
other vehicles or obstructions such
as when pulling out of a parking
space. Otherwise, the front radar
sensor could be hit and its position
deviated.
¾Do not remove, disassemble, or
modify the front radar sensor.
¾For repairs, replacement or paint
work around the front radar sensor,
consult an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer).¾Do not modify the suspensions. If
the suspensions are modified, the
vehicle's posture could change and
the front radar sensor may not be
able to correctly detect a vehicle
ahead or an obstruction.
NOTE
xUnder the following conditions, the
front radar sensor 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 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
front radar sensor may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead or
obstructions.
xThe beginning and end of a curve.xRoads with continuous curves.

NOTE
xThe detection ability of the front side
radar sensor has limitations. In the
following cases, the detection ability
may lower and the system may not
operate normally.
xThe front bumper near the front
side radar sensor has become
deformed.
xSnow, ice or mud adheres to the
front side radar sensor on the front
bumper.
xUnder bad weather conditions
such as rain, snow and fog.
xUnder the following conditions, the
front side radar sensor cannot detect
target objects or it may be
difficult to
detect them.
xSmall motorcycles, bicycles,
pedestrians, animals, shopping
carts, and stationary objects on a
road or a road side.
xVehicle shapes which do not
reflect radar waves well such as
empty trailers with a low vehicle
height and sports cars.
xVehicles are shipped with the
direction of the front side radar
sensor adjusted for each vehicle to a
loaded vehicle condition so that the
front side radar sensor detect
approaching vehicles correctly. If the
direction of the front side radar
sensor has deviated for some reason,
have the vehicle inspected at an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
xFor repairs or replacement of the
front side radar sensor, or bumper
repairs, paintwork, and replacement
near the radar sensors, consult an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
xThe radar sensors are regulated by
the relevant radio wave laws of the
country in which the vehicle is
driven. If the vehicle is driven
abroad, authorization from the
country in which the vehicle is driven
may be required.

Rear Side Radar Sensor*
▼Rear Side Radar Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with rear side
radar sensor. The following systems
also use the rear side radar sensor.
xBlind Spot Monitoring (BSM)xRear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)xSmart Brake Support [Rear Crossing]
(SBS-RC)
The rear side radar sensors emit radio
waves and detect the radio waves
reflected off a vehicle approaching
from the rear or an obstruction.
1. Rear side radar sensor

The rear side radar sensors are installed
inside the rear bumper, one on each
side.
Always keep the surface of the rear
bumper near the rear side radar
sensors clean so that they operate
normally. Also, do not apply items such
as stickers.
Refer to Exterior Care on page 6-54.
CAUTION
If the rear bumper receives a severe
impact, the system may no longer
operate normally. Stop the system
immediately and have the vehicle
inspected at an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer).
NOTE
xThe detection ability of the rear side
radar sensor has limitations. In the
following cases, the detection ability
may lower and the system may not
operate normally.
xThe rear bumper near the rear side
radar sensor has become
deformed.
xSnow, ice or mud adheres to the
rear side radar sensor on the rear
bumper.
xUnder bad weather conditions
such as rain, snow and fog.
xUnder the following conditions, the
rear side radar sensor cannot detect
target objects or it may be
difficult to
detect them.
xSmall motorcycles, bicycles,

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, grating , or grass covered roads.xAnything which generates ultrasonic waves 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 approaches the vehicle.
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, or a steep grade.xAn obstruction is too close to the sensor.xThe vehicle is moving towards an uneven wall or stairs.xThere are multiple obstructions.xThe vehicle is driven in a place with low ceilings.xObstructions under the bumper cannot be detected. Obstructions which are
lower than the sensor or thin may not be detected even though they were
detected once.
xThe following types of obstructions may not be detected:
xThin objects such as wire, rope or polesxThings which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snowxAngular shaped objectsxVery tall objects, and those which are wide at the topxSmall, short objectsxAlways 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 indicator light does not turn on even
when the parking sensor switch is turned on. Have your vehicle inspected by an
expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer).
xThe system may have a malfunction if a message indicating a system malfunction is
displayed. Have your vehicle inspected by an expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
xA message may be displayed even when the ambient temperature is extremely
cold, or mud, ice, or snow adheres to the sensor area. Remove any foreign matter
from the sensor area.
xWhen installing a trailer hitch, consult an expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
xIf a Mazda genuine trailer hitch is used, the rear side of the parking sensor system
is automatically turned
off.
