driving:
The 360°View Monitor is an auxiliary
device which assi sts the driver in
checking the safety of the area around
the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and
detection range of the sensors are
limited. For example, the areas in black
at the front and rear of the vehicle
image and the seams where each of
the camera images merge are blind
spots where an obstruction may not be
visible. In addition, the extended
vehicle width lines and projected
vehicle path lines are only to be used
as references, and the images on the
screen may differ from the actual
conditions.
CAUTION
 Do not use the 360°View Monitor
under any of the following
conditions.
 Icy or snow-covered roads.
 Tire chains or a temporary spare
tire is installed.
 The front or rear doors are not fully
closed.

Make sure that there are no obstructions within the projected vehicle path lines.
Turn the steering wheel so that the projected vehicle path lines travel inside of the
obstruction (A), and drive the vehicle forward until it passes the obstruction.
If the projected vehicle path lines are on an obstruction (B) or outside of the
obstruction (C), the vehicle may contact the obstruction when turning the vehicle
sharply.
CAUTION
 The parking sensor detection range has limitations. For example, obstructions
closing in from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always
confirm the safety around the vehicle visually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sens or obstruction detection indication and

Front Radar Sensor*
▼Front Radar Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with a front
radar sensor.
The following systems also use the
front radar sensor.
Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
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.

NOTE
When the vehicle is driven on roads
in which there is an elevated road on
one side, the front radar sensor
function may be restricted
temporarily.
Under the following conditions, the
front radar sensor 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 luggage 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
front radar sensor 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 your 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 front radar
sensor to detect, “Safety and Driver
Support Systems Temporarily
Disabled. Front Radar Obscured.
Drive Safely” may be temporarily
displayed, however, this does not
indicate a problem.
The radar sensors are regulated by
the relevant radio wave laws of the
country in which the vehicle is
driven. If the vehicle is driven
abroad, authorization from the
country in which the vehicle is driven
may be required.
