2019 MAZDA MODEL CX-5 parking sensors

i-ACTIVSENSE*
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety and driver support
systems which make use of a Forw ard Sensing Camera (FSC) and radar sensors. These
systems consist of active safety and pre-crash safety systems.
These systems are designed to ass ist the driver in safer driving by reducing the load on the
driver and helping to avert col lisions or reduce their severity. However, because each system
has its limitations, always drive carefully and do not rely sol ely on the systems.

360° View Monitor*
The 360° View Monitor consists of the following functions which assist the driver in
checking the area surrounding the vehicle using various indicat ions in the center display and
a warning sound while the vehicle is being driven at low speeds or while parking.
To p v i e w
The top view displays an image of the vehicle from directly abo ve on the center display
by combining the images taken fro m the 4 cameras set on all sides of the vehicle. The top
view displays on the right side of the screen when the front vi ew or rear view screen is
being displayed. The top view assists the driver in checking th e area surrounding the
vehicle when the vehicle is m oving forward or in reverse.
Front view/front wide view
The image from the front of the vehicle is displayed on the cen ter display.
The view from the fron t assists the driver in checking the fron t of the vehicle by
displaying guide lines on the displayed image taken from the fr ont of the vehicle.
Side view
The images taken from the front left and right sides of the vehicle are displayed on the
center display.
The side view assists the driver in checking the front sides of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed image taken from the front left and right sides of the vehicle.
Rear view/rear wide view
The image from the rear of the vehicle is displayed on the cent er display.
The image from the rear assists t he driver in checking the rear of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed image taken from the rear of the v ehicle.
Parking sensor
If there are any obstructions near the vehicle while the top view/side view is displayed, an
obstruction detection indication turns on around the bumper in the center display.
The parking sensors use ultrasonic sensors to detect obstructio ns around the vehicle when
the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or p arallel parking, and notifies
the driver of the approximate dis tance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction
using sound and an obstruction detection indication.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-231.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If there is the possibility of a collision with an approaching vehicle while the rear view/
rear wide view is displayed, a warning is displayed on the cent er display.
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) uses radar sensors (rear) t o detect vehicles
approaching from the rear left a nd right sides of the vehicle, and it assists the driver in
checking the rear of the vehicle while reversing by flashing th e Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning lights and ac tivating the warning sound.
Refer to Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) on page 4-138.

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 a pproximate distance from the
vehicle to the surrounding obstruction.

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 operat ing 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.
NOTE
Do not install any accessories within the detection ranges of the sensors. It may affect the
system operation.
Depending 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.
The system may not operate normally under the following conditions:
Mud, ice, or snow is adhering to the sensor area (Returns to normal operation when
removed).
The sensor area is frozen (Returns to normal operation when the ice is thawed).
The sensor is covered by a hand.
The sensor is excessively shocked.
The vehicle is excessively tilted.
Under extremely hot or cold weather conditions.
The vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, or grass covered roads.

Anything which generates ultrasound is near the vehicle, 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.
The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or in road conditions causing water-splash.
A commercially-available fender pole or an antenna for a radio transmitter is installed
to the vehicle.
The vehicle is moving towards a tall or square curbstone.
An obstruction is too close to the sensor.
Obstructions under the bumper may not be detected. Obstructions that are lower than the
bumper or thin which may have been initially detected may no longer be detected as the
vehicle approaches more closely to the obstruction.
The following types of obstructions may not be detected:
Thin objects such as wire or rope
Things which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snow
Angular shaped objects
Very tall objects, and those which are wide at the top
Small, short objects
Always have the system inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer if any shock is applied
to the bumpers, even in a minor accident. If the sensors are deviated, they cannot detect
obstructions.
The system may have a malfunction if the b eep does not operate or the indicator light
does not illuminate when the park assist sensors switch is turned on. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
The system may have a malfunction if the beep sound which indicates a system
malfunction is heard and the indicator light flashes. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
The beeper which indicates a system malfunction may not be heard if the ambient
temperature is extremely cold, or mud, ice, or snow adheres to the sensor area. Remove
any foreign material from the sensor area.
When installing a trailer hitch, c onsult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
