not operate normally.
Rearward detection function
The rearward detection function is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with a target object
when reversing.
The rearward detection function
detects obstructions using the rear
ultrasonic sensors. In addition, if there
is the possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a target object at the rear
while you are driving in reverse, you
are notified of possible danger by a
warning sound and a warning
indication on the display.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a
collision increases, brake control is
performed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision.
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually when reversing the vehicle:
The operation of the rearward
detection function has certain
limitations. Therefore, the function
might not operate or it might be
delayed even if there is a target object
at the rear of your vehicle. Always
make it your responsibility as a driver
to check the rear.

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

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.

Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS)
▼Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
The TPMS monitors the air pressure of
each tire and if it decreases below the
specified
value, the system
notifies the
driver by turning on the TPMS warning
light in the instrument cluster and
indicating a message on the
multi-information display.
For the TPMS, the air pressure data
sent from the tire pressure sensors
installed on each wheel via radio signal
is received by the receiver unit in the
vehicle to monitor the tire pressures.
1. Tire pressure sensors
In addition, the current tire pressures
can be checked using the center
display.
Refer to the Vehicle Status Monitor
section in the Mazda Connect
Owner's Manual.
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is
low, the tire temperatures also
decrease. If the tire temperatures
decrease, the air pressure in the tires
will also decrease which could turn
on the TPMS warning light.
Before driving, visually inspect the
tires for abnormalities. Additionally,
inspect the tire pressures monthly. A
digital type air pressure gauge is
recommended for inspecting the tire
pressures.
The TPMS is not a substitute for your
own periodic inspection of the tires.
Always inspect the tires yourself
periodically.
CAUTION
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and
inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.

Tires
▼Tires
For reasons of proper performance,
safety, and better fuel economy, always
maintain recommended tire
inflation
pressures and stay within the
recommended load limits and weight
distribution.
WARNING
Using Different Tire Types:
Driving your vehicle with different
types of tires is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor braking;
leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the
temporary spare tire, use only the
same type tires (radial, bias-belted,
bias-type) on all four wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tires:
Using any other tire size than what is
specified for the vehicle (page 9-8)
is dangerous. It could seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clearance, tire
clearance, and speedometer
calibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Use only tires that
are the correct size specified for the
vehicle.
▼ Tire Inflation Pressure
WARNING
Always inflate the tires to the correct
pressure:
Overinflation or underinflation of tires
is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tire failure could result in a
serious accident.
Refer to Tires on page 9-8.
Use only a Mazda-genuine tire valve
cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is
dangerous as the correct tire air
pressure cannot be maintained if the
tire valve becomes damaged. If the
vehicle is driven under this condition,
the tire air pressure will decrease
which could result in a serious
accident. Do not use any part for the
tire valve cap that is not a
Mazda-genuine part.
Inspect all tire pressures monthly
(including the spare) when the tires are
cold. Maintain recommended
pressures for the best ride, handling ,
and minimum tire wear.
Refer to the specification charts (page
9-8).
NOTE
Always check tire pressure when tires
are cold.
Warm tires normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not
release air from warm tires to adjust
the pressure.
Underinflation can cause reduced
fuel economy, uneven and
accelerated tire wear, and poor
sealing of the tire bead, which will
deform the wheel and cause
separation of tire from rim.
Overinflation can produce a harsh
ride, uneven and accelerated tire
wear, and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
Keep your tire pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs inflating, have it inspected.

3. Tread wear indicator
You should replace the tire before the
band crosses the entire tread.
NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used on the road. It
is recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or
older. Heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high loading conditions can
accelerate the aging process. You
should replace the spare tire when you
replace the other road tires due to the
aging of the spare tire. The period in
which the tire was manufactured (both
week and year) is indicated by a 4-digit
number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-23.
▼Temporary Spare Tire
Inspect the temporary spare tire at
least monthly to make sure it is
properly
inflated and stored.
NOTE
The temporary spare tire condition
gradually deteriorates even if it has not
been used.
The temporary spare tire is easier to
handle because of its construction
which is lighter and smaller than a
conventional tire. This tire should be
used only for an emergency and only
for a short distance.
Use the temporary spare tire only until
the conventional tire is repaired, which
should be as soon as possible.
Refer to Tires on page 9-8.
CAUTION
Do not use your temporary spare tire
rim with a snow tire or a
conventional tire. Neither will
properly
fit and could damage both
tire and rim.
The temporary spare tire has a tread
life of less than 5,000 km (3,000
miles). The tread life may be shorter
depending on driving conditions.
The temporary spare tire is for
limited use, however, if the tread
wear solid-band indicator appears,
replace the tire with the same type of
temporary spare (page 6-32).
NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used on the road. It
is recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or
older. Heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high load ing conditions can
accelerate the aging process. You
should replace the spare tire when you
replace the other road tires due to the
aging of the spare tire. The period in
which the tire was manufactured (both

number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-23.
▼ Replacing a Wheel
WARNING
Always use wheels of the correct size
on your vehicle:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is
dangerous. Braking and handling could
be
affected, leading to loss of control
and an accident.
