The position of a sensor which has
detected an obstruction is indicated.

obstruction detected by the sensor.
As the vehicle approaches closer to an
obstruction, the zone in the gauge
closer to the vehicle illuminates.

NOTE
The detection indicator can be
switched between display and
non-display and the buzzer volume
can be changed.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
(Vehicles with 360° View Monitor)
When the detection indicator is set to
“Display”, even with the 360° view
monitor not displayed, if a front sensor
or a front corner sensor detects an
obstruction, the 360° view monitor
switches automatically to display.
When an obstruction is no longer
detected, the display switches to the
display before the obstruction was
detected. However, while the 360°
view monitor is displayed, it continues
to display no matter if an obstruction is
detected or not.

▼Parking Sensor Warning Beep
Informs the driver of the approximate dist
ance 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.

Operating Tips
▼Operating Tips
Operate the climate control system
with the engine running.
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan
control switch on for a long period of
time with the ignition switched ON
when the engine is not running.
Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the
air inlet in the cowl grille to improve
the system e
fficiency.
Use the climate control system to
defog the windows and dehumidify
the air.
The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or
while in a
traffic jam, or when you
would like to shut o ff outside air for
quick cooling of the interior.
Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.
If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows to let warm air
escape, then run the climate control
system.
(With A/C switch)
Run the air conditioner about 10
minutes at least once a month to
keep internal parts lubricated.
Have the air conditioner checked
before the weather gets hot. Lack of
refrigerant may make the air
conditioner less e fficient.
The refrigerant specifications are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. If
the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious
malfunction of the air conditioner.
Consult a professional, government certi fied repairer for the inspection
or repair because a special device is
required for the air conditioner
maintenance.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
