2. Detection areas
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually before making an actual lane
change:
The system is only designed to assist
you in checking for vehicles at your rear
when making a lane change. Due to
certain limitations with the operation
of this system, the BSM warning
indicator light, the warning sound and
the warning screen indicator display
may not activate or they might be
delayed even though a vehicle is in an
adjacent driving lane. Always make it
your responsibility as a driver to check
the rear.
NOTE
The BSM will operate when all of the
following conditions are met:
The ignition is switched ON.The i-ACTIVSENSE warning
indication/warning light in the
instrument cluster is turned off.
The vehicle speed is about 10
km/h (6.3 mph) or faster.
The BSM will not operate under the
following circumstances.
The vehicle speed falls below
about 10 km/h (6.3 mph) even
though the i-ACTIVSENSE warning
indication/warning light is turned
off.
The shift lever (manual
transmission)/selector lever
(automatic transmission) is shifted
to reverse (R) and the vehicle is
reversing.
The turning radius is small (making
a sharp turn, turning at
intersections).
In the following cases, the
i-ACTIVSENSE warning indication/
warning light turns on and operation
of the system is stopped. If the
i-ACTIVSENSE warning indication/
warning light remains illuminated,
have the vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
Some problem with the system
including the BSM warning
indicator lights is detected.
A large deviation in the installation
position of a rear side radar sensor
on the vehicle has occurred.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA)
*
▼Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
The RCTA system is designed to assist
the driver in checking the area to the
rear left and right sides of your vehicle
while your vehicle is reversing by
alerting the driver to the presence of
vehicles approaching the rear of your
vehicle.
The RCTA system detects vehicles
approaching from the rear left and
right sides of your vehicle and the rear
of your vehicle while your vehicle is
being reversed out of a parking space,
and notifies the driver of possible
danger using the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning indicator lights and the
warning buzzer.

If cracks or damage caused by flying
gravel or debris is visible around a
rear radar and rear camera, stop
using the SBS-RC system
immediately and have your vehicle
inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer. If the vehicle continues to be
driven with cracks or scratch marks
left around an ultrasonic sensor, the
system may operate unnecessarily
and cause an unexpected accident.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support [Rear Crossing] (SBS-RC)
System Operation on page 4-164.
 Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for rear bumper removal.
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is
changed, the SBS-RC system may not
operate correctly because it cannot
detect obstructions correctly.
Do not apply a strong force to a rear
radar and rear camera:
When washing the vehicle, do not
spray highly pressurized water against a
rear radar and rear camera, or rub it
strongly. In addition, do not hit the rear
bumper forcefully when loading and
unloading cargo. Otherwise, the
sensors may not detect obstructions
correctly which could cause the
SBS-RC system to not operate
normally, or it could operate
unnecessarily.NOTE
The SBS-RC system will operate
under the following conditions.
The engine is running for 3 seconds
or more.

10 km/h (6 mph).
The vehicle speed of an
approaching vehicle is about 3
km/h (2 mph) or faster.
The SBS-R is not turned off.The DSC is not malfunctioning.In the following cases, the

 Always use tires of the
specified
type and size for the front and rear
wheels. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer for tire replacement.
 When the display is cold, images
may leave trails or the screen might
be darker than usual, making it
difficult to check the vehicle
surroundings. Always confirm the
safety at the front and around the
vehicle visually when driving.
 The method for parking/stopping
the vehicle using the 360°View
Monitor differs depending on the
road circumstances/conditions and
the vehicle conditions. When and
how much you turn the steering
wheel will differ depending on the
situation, , therefore always check
the vehicle surroundings directly with
your eyes while using the system.
Also, before using the system, always
make sure that the vehicle can be
parked/stopped in the parking/
stopping space.
NOTE
If there are water droplets, snow, or
mud on the camera lens, wipe it off
using a soft cloth. If the camera lens
is especially dirty, wash it off with
mild detergent.
If the camera lens is touched or there
is any dirt on it, it could affect the
screen image. Wipe the lens using a
soft cloth.
If the area where the camera is
installed, such as the front bumper,
liftgate or door mirrors, has been
damaged in a vehicle accident, the
camera (position, installation angle)
may have shifted. Always consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer to have
the vehicle inspected.
If the camera is subjected to
excessive changes in temperature
such as by pouring hot water on the
camera during cold weather, the
360°View Monitor may not operate
normally.
If the vehicle is driven during cold
temperatures and the camera
temperature decreases, the top view
and the side view may become
u n c l ea r. H o we v e r, t h i s d o e s n o t
indicate a problem. If the vehicle is
stopped for a while and the camera
temperature increases, the top view
and the side view will return to the
normal condition.
If the battery voltage is low, the
screen might be temporarily difficult
to view, however, this does not
indicate a problem.
The 360°View Monitor has
limitations. Objects under the
bumper or near both ends of the
bumper cannot be displayed.
Obstructions above the upper image
range of the camera are not
displayed.
Under the following conditions, the
screen might be difficult to view,
however this does not indicate a
problem.
The temperature near the lens is
high/low.
