Your vehicle is equipped with a front
radar sensor.
The following systems also use the
front radar sensor.

Mazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with
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.

1. Front side radar sensor
The front side radar sensors are
installed inside the front bumper, one
on each side.
Always keep the surface of the front

normally. Also, do not apply items such
as stickers.
Refer to Exterior Care on page 6-43.
CAUTION
If the front bumper receives a severe
impact, the system may no longer
operate normally. Stop the system
immediately and have the vehicle
inspected at an Authorized Mazda

NOTE
The detection ability of the front side
radar sensor has limitations. In the
following cases, the detection ability
may lower and the system may not
operate normally.
The front bumper near the front
side radar sensor has become
deformed.
Snow, ice or mud adheres to the
front side radar sensor on the front
bumper.
Under bad weather conditions
such as rain, snow and fog.
Under the following conditions, the
front side radar sensor cannot detect
target objects or it may be difficult to
detect them.
Small motorcycles, bicycles,
pedestrians, animals, shopping
carts, and stationary objects on a
road or a road side.
Vehicle shapes which do not
reflect radar waves well such as
empty trailers with a low vehicle
height and sports cars.
Vehicles are shipped with the
direction of the front side radar

loaded vehicle condition so that the
front side radar sensor detect
approaching vehicles correctly. If the
direction of the front side radar

▼ Changing the Set Vehicle Speed
Follow either of these procedures.
To increase/decrease speed using
cruise control switch
When the RES switch is pressed up
(SET+), the vehicle accelerates and
when the RES switch is pressed down
(SET-),
it decelerates.
Press and release immediately: 1
km/h (1 mph)
Press and hold: 10 km/h (5 mph)
NOTE
Even after releasing the RES switch, the
cruise control accelerates/decelerates
continuously until the set speed
displayed in the instrument cluster and
on the active driving display is reached.
If you want to stop accelerating/
decelerating , change the set speed or
cancel the system (such as by
depressing the brake pedal).
To increase speed using accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and
press the RES switch up (SET+) or
down (SET-) at the desired speed. If
the switch is not operated, the system
returns to the set speed after you
release your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
NOTE
Accelerate if you want to speed up
temporarily when the cruise control is
on. Greater speed will not interfere
with or change the set speed. Take
your foot off the accelerator to return

Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS)
▼Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
The TPMS monitors the air pressure of
each tire and if it decreases below the
specified
value, the system
notifies the
driver by turning on the TPMS warning
light in the instrument cluster and
indicating a message on the
multi-information display.
For the TPMS, the air pressure data
sent from the tire pressure sensors
installed on each wheel via radio signal
is received by the receiver unit in the
vehicle to monitor the tire pressures.
1. Tire pressure sensors
In addition, the current tire pressures
can be checked using the center
display.
Refer to the Vehicle Status Monitor
section in the Mazda Connect
Owner's Manual.
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is
low, the tire temperatures also
decrease. If the tire temperatures
decrease, the air pressure in the tires
will also decrease which could turn
on the TPMS warning light.
Before driving, visually inspect the
tires for abnormalities. Additionally,
inspect the tire pressures monthly. A
digital type air pressure gauge is
recommended for inspecting the tire
pressures.
The TPMS is not a substitute for your
own periodic inspection of the tires.
Always inspect the tires yourself
periodically.
CAUTION
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and
inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.

CX-30_8JP5-EA-20K_Edition1_new 2020-7-22 15:50:09
▼When a tire pressure decreases
If the TPMS warning light turns on, a
tire pressure may be low. Inspect the
tire pressures and adjust them to the
correct inflation pressure.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Warning Indication/
Warning Light (Turns on) on page
7-32.
▼Tires and Wheels
CAUTION
When inspecting/adjusting the tire
pressures, do not apply excessive force
to the air valve of the tire pressure
sensor. Otherwise, the tire pressure
sensor could be damaged.
When changing tires and wheels
When changing the tires or wheels
(such as installing winter tires), it will
be necessary to regi
ster the ID signal
code of the tire pressure sensor to the
TPMS.
Have an Authorized Mazda Dealer do
the registration or register the ID signal
codes of the tire pressure sensors using
the following procedure.
NOTE
The tire pressure sensors on each
wheel have a unique ID signal code.
For the TPMS to operate correctly, the
ID signal codes of the tire pressure
sensors need to be registered to the
system.
1. Wait more than 19 minutes after changing a tire or wheel.
2. After more than 19 minutes have passed, drive the vehicle at a speed
of about 25 km/h (16 mph) or
faster for 3 minutes or longer. While
driving, the ID signal codes of the
tire pressure sensors are
automatically registered.
NOTE
If you drive the vehicle within 19
minutes of changing a tire or wheel,
the TPMS warning light will flash
because the ID signal codes for the tire
pressure sensors were not registered.
In this case, stop the vehicle and
register the ID signal codes of the tire
pressure sensors following the
procedure.
When replacing tires and wheels
CAUTION
When replacing the tires and wheels,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
Otherwise, the tire pressure sensors
could be damaged when replacing
them.
Do not install non-genuine wheels. If
wheels other than genuine ones are
installed, it may not be possible to
install the tire pressure sensors.
