2022 MAZDA MODEL CX-9 sensor

▼Obstruction Detection Indication
The position of a sensor which has detected an obstruction is i
ndicated. 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.
(Vehicles with 360° View Monitor)
When the detection indicator is set to “Display”, 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 monito r is displayed, it continues to display no
matter if an obstruction is detected or not.

To turn off the system, press the power
switch.
NOTE
Set the control dial to the recommended
temperature of 22 °C (72 °F), and then
adjust it as desired.
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 automatically turns on. The air
conditioner will direct ly dehumidify the
air to the front windshield and side
windows on page 5-4.
Airflow amount wil l be increased.
WA R N I N G
Set the temperature control to the hot or
warm position when defogging (
position):
Using the
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 windshield more quickly.
▼ Sunlight/Interior Temperature

Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood hinges and locks, should be
lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.

Make sure the hood's secondary latch
keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.
Wiper Blades
CAUTION
Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to affect the
wiper's ability to clean windows.
 To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.
 When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
 If the windshield above the rain sensor
is touched.
 If the windshield above the rain sensor
is wiped with a cloth.
 If the windshield is struck with a hand
or other object.
 If the rain sensor is struck with a hand
or other object from inside the vehicle.
Be careful not to pinch hands or fingers
as it may cause injury, or damage the
wipers. When washing or servicing the
vehicle, make sure the wiper lever is in
the OFF position.
Contamination of either the windshield or
the blades with foreign matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.

If the blades are not wiping properly, clean
the window and blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.

minerals will concentrate and harden to
form white rings. The rings can damage
your vehicle's finish.
Prevention
It is necessary to wash and wax your
vehicle to preserve it s finish according to
the instructions in this section. These steps
should be taken immediately after you find
water marks on your vehicle's finish.
Paint Chipping
Occurrence
Paint chipping occurs when gravel thrown
in the air by another vehicle's tires hits
your vehicle.
How to avoid paint chipping
Keeping a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead reduces the chances of
having your paint chipped by flying
gravel.
NOTE
The paint chipping zone varies with the
speed of the vehicle. For example, when
traveling at 90 km/h (56 mph), the paint
chipping zone is 50 m (164 ft).
In low temperatures a vehicle's finish
hardens. This increases the chance of
paint chipping.
Chipped paint can lead to rust forming
on your Mazda. Before this happens,
repair the damage by using Mazda
touch-up paint according to the
instructions in this section. Failure to
repair the affected area could lead to
serious rusting and expensive repairs.

Follow all label and container directions
when using a chemical cleaner or polish.
Read all warnings and cautions.
▼ Maintaining the Finish
Wa s h i n g
CAUTION

When the ignition is switched ON and
the wiper lever is in the AUTO position,
the windshield wi pers may operate
automatically in the following cases:
 The area of the windshield above the
rain sensor is touched or wiped with a
cloth.
 The windshield or the rain sensor area
in the cabin is hit.
When the ignition is switched ON and
the wiper lever is in the AUTO position,
do not touch the windshield or the
windshield wipers Otherwise, the
windshield wipers will operate
automatically which could catch your fingers or damage the windshield wipers.
When removing ice or snow, or cleaning
the windshield, always make sure the
wiper lever is in the OFF position.
