The setting can be changed so that the projected vehicle path lines are not displayed.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
How to use the projected vehicle path line function
(Screen display)
(Actual condition)

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 fo rward until it passes the obstruction.
If the projected vehicle path lines are on an ob struction (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 limitat ions. For example, obstructions closing in
from the side and objects short in height ma y not be detected. Always confirm the safety
around the vehicle visually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sensor obstru ction detection indication and warning sound.

CAUTION
The front of the vehicle swings out wide wh en turning the steering wheel while reversing.
Maintain sufficient distance betwee n the vehicle and an obstruction.
 The parking sensor detection range has limita tions. For example, obstructions closing in
from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always confirm the safety
around the vehicle vi sually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sensor obstruction detection indication and warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-302.
NOTE
Because there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen, such as
indicated in the following, and the actual conditions when parking, always check the
safety at the rear of the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.
Even though the back end of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the screen and
distance guide lines appear parallel, they may not actually be parallel.
When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking space, even
though the division line and the vehicle widt h guide line appear parallel, they may not
actually be parallel.
The following shows an example of vehicle parking with the steering wheel turned to the
left while backing up the vehicle. When backing into a parking space from the opposite
direction, the steering operation is reversed.

Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)*
Your vehicle is equipped with a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). The Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) is positioned near the rearview mirror and used by the following systems.
High Beam Control System (HBC)
Driver Attention Alert (DAA)
Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)
Smart City Brake Supp ort [Forward] (SCBS F)
Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function)
Traffic Jam Assist (TJA)
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of the vehicle while
traveling at night and detects traffic lanes. The distance in which the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) can detect objects varies depending on the surrounding conditions.
WA R N I N G
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to correctly detect
vehicles ahead. This will result in the system not operating normally or mistakenly operating,
which could cause a serious accident.
CAUTION
 Do not apply accessories, stickers or
film to the windshield near the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC).

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the pressure for each tire.
If tire pressure is too low in one or more t ires, the system will inform the driver via the
warning light in the instrument cluster and by the warning beep sound.
Refer to Contact Authorized Mazda Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on page 7-25.
Refer to Taking Action on page 7-31.
Refer to Tire Inflation Pressure Warning Beep on page 7-44.

The tire pressure sensors installed on each wheel send tire pressure data by radio signal to
the receiver unit in the vehicle.
Tire pressure sensors
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is low due to seasonal changes, tire temperatures are also
lower. When the tire temperature decreases, the air pressure decreases as well. The TPMS
warning light may illuminate more frequently. Vi sually inspect the tires daily before driving,
and check tire pressures monthly with a tire pressure gauge. When checking tire pressures,
use of a digital tire pressure gauge is recommended.

TPMS does not alleviate your need to check the pressure and condition of all four tires
regularly.
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.)
