Display/IconContent
Extended vehicle width lines and dis‐
tance guide lines (red/blue) These guide lines indicate the
approximate width of the vehi‐
cle and distance to a point measured from the rear of the vehi‐
cle (from the end of the bumper).
The red lines indicate the points up to about 0.5 m (19 in)
from the rear end of the bumper.
The blue lines indicate the po ints from about 0.5 m (19 in)
and up to 2 m (78 in) from the rear end of the bumper.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
lights Indicates when the Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) has oper‐
ated.
For details, refer to Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).
Refer to Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) on page 4-146.
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.

Radar Sensor (Front)*
Your vehicle is equipped with a radar sensor (front).
The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
Mazda Radar Cruise Control with S top & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function)
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The radar sensor (front) function s by detecting the radio waves reflected off a vehicle ahead
or an obstruction sent from the radar sensor.
The radar sensor (front) is m ounted behind the front emblem.
Radar Sensor (Front)
If “Front Radar Sensor Blocked” is displayed in the multi-information display of the
instrument cluster, clean the area around the radar sensor (fro nt).
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 radar sensor (front), and do not replace the radiator
grille and front emblem with any product that is not a genuine product designed for use
with the radar sensor (front).
 The radar sensor (front) 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 al ways keep the radar sensor (front) clean.
 Do not install a grille guard.
 If the front part of the vehicle has been dama ged in a vehicle accident, the position of the
radar sensor (front) 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 vehi cles or obstructions such as when pulling
out of a parking space. Otherwise, the radar sensor (front) could be hit and its position
deviated.

Do not remove, disassemble, or mo dify the radar sensor (front).
 For repairs, replacement or paint work ar ound the radar sensor (front), consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 Do not modify the suspension. If the suspensi on are modified, the vehicle's posture could
change and the radar sensor (front) may not be able to correctly detect a vehicle ahead or
an obstruction.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect vehicles
ahead or obstructions correctly and each system may not operate normally.
The 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.
Vehicles ahead with low vehicle height and thus less area for reflecting radio waves.
Visibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead casting off water, snow, or sand from its tires
and onto your windshield.
The trunk compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger seats are
occupied.
Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front surface of the front emblem.
During inclement weather such as rain, snow, or sand storms.
When driving near facilities or objects emitting strong radio waves.
Under the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect vehicles
ahead or obstructions.
The beginning and end of a curve.
Roads with continuous curves.
Narrow lane roads due to road construction or lane closures.
The vehicle ahead enters the radar sensor's blind spot.
The vehicle ahead is running abnormally due to accident or vehicle damage.
Roads with repeated up and down slopes
Driving on poor roads or unpaved roads.
The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely short.
A vehicle suddenly comes close such as by cutting into the lane.
To prevent incorrect operation of the system, use tires of the same specified size,
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern on all four wheels. In addition, do not use tires
with significantly different wear patterns or tire pressures on the same vehicle (Including
the temporary spare tire).
If the battery power is weak, the system may not operate correctly.
When driving on roads with little traffic and few vehicles ahead or obstructions for the
radar sensor (front) to detect, “Front Radar Sensor Blocked” may be temporarily
displayed, however, this does not indicate a problem.

held, and continue decreasing while the
SET/
switch is pressed and held
(except when the accelerator pedal is
depressed).
On a steep grade, the vehicle may
momentarily slow down while ascending
or speed up while descending.
The cruise control will cancel if the
vehicle speed decreases below 21 km/h
(13 mph) when the cruise control is
activated, such as when climbing a steep
grade.
The cruise control may cancel at about
15 km/h (9 mph) below the preset speed,
such as when climbing a long, steep
grade.
The vehicle speed preset using the cruise
control is displayed in the instrument
cluster and the active driving display
(vehicles with activ e driving display).

Diesel Particulate Filter(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
The diesel particulate filter collects and
removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
PM collected by the diesel particulate
filter is cleared during normal driving,
however, PM may not be removed and the
diesel particulate filter indicator light may
illuminate under the following conditions:
If the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h (9
mph) or less continuously.
If the vehicle is repeatedly driven for a
short period of time (10 minute or less)
or driven while the engine is cold.
If the vehicle is idled for a long time.
When “DPF Clogged” is indicated
The particulate matter (PM) cannot be
removed automatically and the amount of
collected PM reaches a specified amount.
After the engine has sufficiently warmed
up (engine coolant temperature of 80 °C
(176 °F) or more), depress the accelerator
pedal and drive the vehicle at a speed of
20 km/h (12 mph) or more for about 15 to
20 minutes to eliminate the PM.
When “DPF malfunction” is indicated
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
If the vehicle continues to be driven with
“DPF Clogged” indicated in the display, the
particulate matter (PM) increases and the
indication may change to “DPF
malfunction”. If the indication changes to
“DPF malfunction”, have the vehicle
inspected immediately at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer. If the vehicle is not
inspected and continues to be driven, the
engine may malfunction.
NOTE
When “DPF malfunction” is indicated
in the display, the engine output is
restricted to protect the diesel
particulate filter.
The engine sound and exhaust gas smell
may change when PM is being removed
while driving.
