Indicator light
Operation conditions
The parking sensor system can be used when all of the following conditions are met:
The ignition is switched ON.
The parking sensor switch is turned on.
NOTE
The detection indicator and buzzer of the front sensors/front corner sensors do not
operate when the selector lever is in the P position.
The detection indicator and buzzer sound do not activate when the parking brake is
applied.
▼ Obstruction Detection Indication
The position of a sensor which has detected an obstruction is indicated. 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 be switched between display and non-display and the buzzer
volume can be changed.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
When the detection indicator is set to “Dis
play”, 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 moni tor is displayed, it continues to display no
matter if an obstruction is detected or not.
System problem notification
The indication displays if the system has a malfunction.
Check the reason for the indication displaying on the center display or multi-information
display.
Refer to If a Warning Light Turn s On or Flashes on page 7-23.

the corresponding beep sound is heard.
▼When Warning Indicator/Beep is Activated
The system notifies the driver of an abnormality by activating the beep sound and the
indicator light.

How to check
The indicator light flashes when
the parking sensor switch is
pressed at a vehicle speed of 10

The intermittent sound of the
buzzer is heard 5 times. Remove any foreign material from the
sensor area. If the system does not re‐
cover, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Setting the temperature to maximum hot
or cold will not provide the desired
temperature at a faster rate.
When selecting heat, the system will
restrict airflow until the engine has
warmed to prevent cold air from
blowing out of the vents.
▼Windshield Defrosting and
Defogging
Press the windshield
defroster switch.
In this position, the outside air position is
automatically selected, and the air
conditioner automatical ly turns on. The air
conditioner will directly dehumidify the
air to the front wi ndshield and side
windows on page 5-4.
Airflow amount will be increased.
WA R N I N G
Set the temperature control to the hot or
warm position when defogging (
position 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.
NOTE
Use the temperature control dial to
increase the air flow temperature and
defog the windshie ld more quickly.
