variance in distance perspective could lead to an accident. Note the following
conditions that may cause a variance in distance perspective.
When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and load
When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the screen appears farther

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
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.
(Vehicles with 360° View Monitor)
When the detection indicator is set to “Display”, even with the 360° view monitor
not displayed, if a front sensor or a front corner 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 monitor is displayed, it continues to display no
matter if an obstruction is detected or not.
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)
