enters the center of the parking space.

(Actual condition)
(Screen display)
2. After the vehicle starts entering the parking space, stop and adjust the steering wheel so
that the distance between the veh icle width lines and the sides of the parking space on
the left and right are roughly equal, and then continue backing up slowly.
3. Once the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking spa ce on the left and right are
parallel, straighten the wheels and back the vehicle slowly int o the parking space.
Continue checking the vehicle's surroundings and then stop the vehicle in the best
possible position. (If the park ing space has division lines, check whether the vehicle
width guide lines are parallel to them.)

NOTE
The parking sensor obstruction detection indication does not display. Switch the screen
display to the top view/rear view display if the parking sensor warning sound is activated.
The rear wide view screen displays the image at the rear of the vehicle at a wide angle
and corrects the image to help detect approaching obstructions from the side. Therefore, it
differs from the actual view.
▼ Margin of Error Between Road Surf
ace on Screen and Actual Road Surface
There might be some margin of err or between the road surface appearing on the screen and
the actual road surface. A margi n of error in the perceived distance could lead to an
accident, therefore be aware of the following conditions which can more easily produce
errors in the perceived distance.

The vehicle tilts due to weight of passengers and cargo.
If the vehicle is tilted, obstructions picked up by a camera ca n appear farther or closer than
the actual distance from the vehicle.

▼Viewing the Display
Guide lines which indicate the width of the vehicle (yellow) ar
e displayed on the screen as a
reference to the approximate width of the vehicle in comparison to the width of the parking
space you are about to back into.
Use this display view for parking your vehicle in a parking spa ce or garage.

a
a) Vehicle width guide lines (yellow)
These guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle.
b) Distance guide lines. These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the
vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).
The red and yellow lines indicate the points about 50 cm (19 in ) for the red line and
100 cm (39.3 in) for the yellow lines from the rear bumper (at the center point of each
of the lines).
CAUTION
The guide lines on the screen are fixed lines. They are not synced to the driver's turning of the
steering wheel. Always be careful and check th e area to the vehicle's rear and the surrounding
area directly with your eyes while backing up.
▼ Rear View Monitor Operation
The operation of the rear view m
onitor when reversing the vehicle varies depending on the
traffic, road, and vehicle cond itions. The amount of steering and the timing also varies
depending on conditions, so confirm the surrounding conditions directly with your eyes and
steer the vehicle in accordance with the conditions.
Be well aware of the above cautions prior to using the rear vie w monitor.
NOTE
Images displayed on the monitor from the rear view parking camera are reversed images
(mirror images).

NOTE
If the parking space has division lines, straighten the wheels when the vehicle width
guide lines are parallel to them.
Because there may be a difference between the displayed image, such as indicated
below, and the actual conditions when parking, always verify the safety at the rear of
the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.
In the image of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the screen, the back end
and distance guide lines may appear aligned in the monitor, but they may not
actually be aligned on the ground.
When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking space,
the division line and the vehicle width gu ide line appear aligned in the monitor, but
they may not actually be aligned on the ground.

▼ Variance Between Actual Road C
onditions and Displayed Image
Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed road. Such variance in
distance perspective could lead to an accident. Note the follow ing conditions that may cause
a variance in distance perspective.

▼Replacing a Wheel
WA R N I N G
Always use wheels of the correct size on
your vehicle:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is dangerous.
Braking and handling could be affected,
leading to loss of control and an accident.
CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely
affect:
 Tire fit
 Wheel and bearing life
 Ground clearance
 Snow-chain clearance
 Speedometer calibration
 Headlight aim
 Bumper height
 Tire Pressure Monitoring System
*
NOTE
When replacing a wheel, make sure the
new one is the same as the original
factory wheel in diameter, rim width,
and offset (inset/outset).
For details, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

Proper tire balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and flat spots.
