Stop & Go function)
Tra ffi c Ja m A s s i s t ( TJ A )Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The front radar sensor functions by
detecting the radio waves reflected off
a vehicle ahead or an obstruction sent
from the radar sensor.
The front radar sensor is mounted
behind the front emblem.
1. Front radar sensor
If “Safety and Driver Support Systems
Temporarily Disabled. Front Radar
Obscured. Drive Safely” is displayed on
the multi-information display of the
instrument cluster, clean the area
around the front radar sensor.
CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to
assure correct operation of each
system.
Do 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.
The 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.
Do not install a grille guard.
If 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 Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Do 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.
Do not remove, disassemble, or
modify the front radar sensor.
For repairs, replacement or paint
work around the front radar sensor,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Do 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.

The vehicle is moving towards a tall or square curbstone, or a steep grade.An obstruction is too close to the sensor.The vehicle is moving towards an uneven wall or stairs.There are multiple obstructions.The vehicle is driven in a place with low ceilings.Obstructions 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.
The following types of obstructions may not be detected:
Thin objects such as wire, rope or polesThings which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snowAngular shaped objectsVery tall objects, and those which are wide at the topSmall, short objectsAlways 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 indicator light does not turn on even
when the parking sensor switch is turned on. Have your vehicle inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
The system may have a malfunction if a message indicating a system malfunction is
displayed. Have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
