Because the distance guide lines are displayed based on a
flat surface, the distance
to the three-dimensional object displayed on the screen is different from the actual
distance.

When reversing near a three-dimensional object
When reversing near an overhanging object, the vehicle may hit the object even if
the anticipated course line does not contact the object on the screen. The position
of the object displayed on the screen is different from the actual position because
the anticipated course lines on the screen are displayed based on a horizontal road
surface. When backing up near an overhanging object, confirm the rear and
surrounding conditions directly with your eyes.

NOTE
When the ignition is switched OFF, the system status before it was turned off is
maintained. For example, if the ignition is switched OFF while the parking sensor
is activated, the system will be activate d when the ignition is switched ON the
next time.
The system may not operate normally under the following conditions:
Mud, ice, or snow is adhering to the sensor area (Returns to normal operation
when removed).
The sensor area is frozen (Returns to normal operation when the ice is thawed).The sensor is covered by a hand.The sensor is excessively shocked.The vehicle is excessively tilted.Under extremely hot or cold weather conditions.The vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, grating, or grass covered roads.Anything which generates ultrasonic wave s such as another vehicle's horn, the
engine sound of a motorcycle, the air brake sound of a large-sized vehicle, or
another vehicle's sensors approaches the vehicle.
The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or in road conditions causing water-splash.A commercially-available fender pole or an antenna for a radio transmitter is
installed to the vehicle.
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 a sound is not activated or the detection
indication is not displayed even when th e parking sensor OFF switch is pressed
and the parking sensor is operable. Have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
The system may have a malfunction if the indicator light does not turn on even
when the parking sensor OFF 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.
A message may be displayed even when the ambient temperature is extremely
cold, or mud, ice, or snow adheres to the sensor area. Remove any foreign matter
from the sensor area.
▼Sensor Detection Range
The sensors detect obstructions within the following range.
1. Front ultrasonic sensor detection range
2. Rear corner/Rear side ultrasonic sensor detection range
3. Rear ultrasonic sensor detection range
4. Front corner ultrasonic sensor detection range
A: About 55.0 cm (About 21.6 in)

*1 The rate at which the intermittent sound beeps increases as the vehicle approaches the obstruction.
NOTE
If an obstruction in the same area excluding the close area is detected
continuously for 6 seconds or longer, only the warning beeps stop activating.
(Detection is indicated) If the detection area changes to the close side, the
warning beeps resumes. (If the detection area changes to the far side, the warning
beeps remain off)
The sound volume (each of front and rear) can be changed.
Refer to the Settings section in
the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
▼When Warning Indicator/Beep is Activated
The system notifies the driver of an abno
rmality by activating the beep sound and
the indicator light.
Indicator/Beep How to check
A message indicating a sys-
tem malfunction or sensor
malfunction is displayed. There may be a problem with the system. Have your vehicle inspected
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
A message indicating that the
sensor is dirty is displayed. Remove any foreign matter from the sensor area. If the system does not
recover, have the vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
A certain obstruction detec-
tion indication is continuous-
ly displayed. Foreign matter may have gotten on the sensor area corresponding to
the detection indicator. If the system does not recover, have the vehicle
inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

CAUTION
If the air conditioner is used while
driving up long hills or in heavy traffic,
monitor the high engine coolant
temperature warning indication to see
if it is displayed (page 7-24).
The air conditioner may cause engine
overheating. If the warning indication
is displayed, turn the air conditioner
off (page 7-17).
NOTE
When maximum cooling is desired,
set the temperature control dial to
the extreme cold position and set
the air intake selector to the
recirculated air position, then turn
the fan control dial fully clockwise.
If warmer air is desired at floor level,
press the
switch and adjust the
temperature control dial to maintain
maximum comfort.
The air to the floor is warmer than air
to the face (except when the
temperature control dial is set at the
extreme hot or cold position).
▼ Ve n t i l a t i o n
1. Press the switch.
2. Set the air intake selector to the outside air position (indicator light
turns off).
3. Set the temperature control dial to
the desired position.
4. Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.
▼Windshield Defrosting and
Defogging
1. Press the switch.
2. Set the temperature control dial to the desired position.
3. Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.
4. If dehumidified heating is desired, turn on the air conditioner.
WARNING
Do not defog the windshield using the
switch with the temperature
control set to the cold position:
Using the
switch with the
temperature control set to the cold
position is dangerous as it will cause
the outside of the windshield to fog
up. Your vision will be hampered,
which could lead to a serious accident.
Set the temperature control to the hot
or warm position when using the
switch.
NOTE
Fogging on the windows clears up
more easily while the air conditioner
is on, but they will fog up more easily
if the air conditioner is turned off.
Be careful that the windows do not
fog up when doing any of the
following:
Switching to recirculate modeTurning off the air conditionerFor maximum defrosting, turn on the
air conditioner, set the temperature
control dial to the extreme hot
position, and turn the fan control
dial fully clockwise.
If warm air is desired at the floor,
press the
switch.
