360° View Monitor*
▼360° View Monitor
The 360°View Monitor consists of the
following functions
which assist the
driver in checking the area surrounding
the vehicle using various indications in
the center display and a warning sound
while the vehicle is being driven at low
speeds or while parking.
To p v i e w
The top view displays an image of
the vehicle from directly above on
the center display by combining the
images taken from the 4 cameras set
on all sides of the vehicle. The top
view displays on the right side of the
screen when the front view or rear
view screen is being displayed. The
top view assists the driver in
checking the area surrounding the
vehicle when the vehicle is moving
forward or in reverse.
Front view/front wide view
The image from the front of the
vehicle is displayed on the center
display.
The view from the front assists the
driver in checking the front of the
vehicle by displaying guide lines on
the displayed image taken from the
front of the vehicle.
Side view
The images taken from the front left
and right sides of the vehicle are
displayed on the center display.
The side view assists the driver in
checking the front sides of the
vehicle by displaying guide lines on
the displayed image taken from the
front left and right sides of the
vehicle.
Rear view/rear wide view
The image from the rear of the
vehicle is displayed on the center
display.
The image from the rear assists the
driver in checking the rear of the
vehicle by displaying guide lines on
the displayed image taken from the
rear of the vehicle.
Parking sensor
If there are any obstructions near the
vehicle while the top view/side view
is displayed, an obstruction
detection indication turns on around
the bumper in the center display.
The parking sensors use ultrasonic
sensors to detect obstructions
around the vehicle when the vehicle
is driven at low speeds, such as
during garage or parallel parking,
and notifies the driver of the
approximate distance from the
vehicle to the surrounding
obstruction using sound and an
obstruction detection indication.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on
page 4-248.
Front Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA)
If there is the possibility of a collision
with an approaching vehicle while
the front view/front wide view/side
view is displayed, a warning is
displayed on the center display.
The Front Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA) is
designed to assist the driver in
checking both sides of the vehicle
when the vehicle starts to drive at an
intersection.
Refer to Front Cross Traffic Alert
(FCTA) on page 4-124.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If there is the possibility of a collision
with an approaching vehicle while
the rear view/rear wide view is
displayed, a warning is displayed on
the center display.
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
uses rear side radar sensor to detect
vehicles approaching from the rear
left and right sides of the vehicle,
and it assists the driver in checking
the rear of the vehicle while reversing
by flashing the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning lights and activating
the warning sound.
Refer to Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) on page 4-127.

2. Ultrasonic sensors
3. Front/Rear side radar sensors
WARNING
Always confirm the safety of the area
around the vehicle with the mirrors
and directly with your eyes when
driving:
The 360°View Monitor is an auxiliary
device which assists 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.
The vehicle is on a road incline.
Bumpy roads.
The door mirrors are retracted.
Do not hit the front/rear camera,
front/rear bumper, and door mirrors
forcefully. The camera position or
installation angle may shift.
The cameras are waterproof. Do not
disassemble, modify, or remove a
camera.

film remover, organic solvents, wax,
or coating agents. If any such agent
gets on the camera cover, wipe it off
using a soft cloth immediately.
Do not rub the camera lens
forcefully, or clean it with an abrasive

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/rear
bumper 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
unclear. However, this does not
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.
Rainy conditions, water droplets
on the camera, or high humidity.
Mud or foreign matter near the
camera.
The area around the vehicle is
dark.
Extremely bright light such as
sunlight or headlights hitting the
camera lens directly.
The surroundings are illuminated
by vehicle lights, fluorescent lights,
or LED lights (display may flicker).
Extremely small dark or white dots
appear on the screen (dots may
flicker).
An object is close to a camera.
Because the 360°View Monitor
camera uses a special lens, the
distance displayed on the screendiffers from the actual distance.
Obstructions displayed on the screen
may appear differently than in
actuality. (Obstructions may appear
fallen, larger, or longer than they
actually are.)
Do not apply stickers to a camera or
the area around it. In addition, do
not install accessories or an
illuminated number/character
license plate to the area around a
camera. Otherwise, the camera may
not correctly display the surrounding
conditions.
Only rear and rear wide images
displayed on the monitor from the
360° view monitor camera are
