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 li ne on only one side of the parking space,
the division line and the vehicle width guide 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.
When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and load
When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the screen appears farther than the
actual distance.

▼Obstruction Detection Indication
The position of a sensor which has detected an obstruction is i
ndicated. The gauge
illuminates in different areas depending on the distance to an 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 switch
between display and non-display.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
When the detection indicator is set to “Display”, even with the 360° view monitor not
displayed, if a front ultrasonic sensor or a front corner ultrasonic 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 monito r is displayed, it continues to display no
matter if an obstruction is detected or not.
