NOTE
Because there may be a diff erence between the displayed image, such as indicated
below, and the actual conditions when parkin g , always verify the safety at the rear of
the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.

▼Variance Between Actual Road Conditions and Displayed Image
Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed road. Such
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
than the actual distance.
1. Object
2. Variance
3. Object on screen
When there is a steep grade behind the vehicle
When there is a steep upgrade (downgrade) behind the vehicle, the object displayed
on the screen appears farther (downgrade: closer) than the actual distance.
1. Appears farther than actual distance
2. Appears closer than actual distance
3. Distance between the vehicle and object displayed on the screen.

Three-dimensional object on vehicle rear
Because the distance guide lines are displayed based on a flat surface, the distance
to the three-dimensional object displayed on the screen is di fferent from the actual
distance.

4. Actual distance B>C=A

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 cont act the object on the screen. The position
of the object displayed on the screen is di fferent from the actual position because
the anticipated course lines on the screen are displayed based on a horizontal road

NOTE
When the power switch is switched OFF, the system status before it was turned off
is maintained. For example, if the power switch is switched OFF while the parking
sensor is activated, the system will be activated when the power switch is switched
ON the next time.
The system may not operate normally under the following conditions:
Mud, ice, or snow is adhering to the sensor area (Returns to normal operation
when removed).
The sensor area is frozen (Returns to normal operation when the ice is thawed).The sensor is covered by a hand.The sensor is excessively shocked.The vehicle is excessively tilted.Under extremely hot or cold weather conditions.The vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, grating, or grass covered roads.Anything which generates ultrasonic wave s such as another vehicle's horn, the
engine sound of a motorcycle, the air brake sound of a large-sized vehicle, or
another vehicle's sensors approaches the vehicle.
The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or in road conditions causing water-splash.A commercially-available fender pole or an antenna for a radio transmitter is
installed to the vehicle.
The vehicle is moving towards a tall or square curbstone, or a steep grade.An obstruction is too close to the sensor.The vehicle is moving towards an uneven wall or stairs.There are multiple obstructions.The vehicle is driven in a place with low ceilings.Obstructions under the bumper cannot be detected. Obstructions which are
lower than the sensor or thin may not be detected even though they were
detected once.
The following types of obstructions may not be detected:
Thin objects such as wire, rope or polesThings which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snowAngular shaped objectsVery tall objects, and those which are wide at the topSmall, short objectsAlways have the system inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer if any shock is
applied to the bumpers, even in a minor accident. If the sensors are deviated, they
cannot detect obstructions.
The system may have a malfunction if a sound is not activated or the detection
indication is not displayed even when th e parking sensor OFF switch is pressed
and the parking sensor is operable. Have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
The system may have a malfunction if the indicator light does not turn on even
when the parking sensor OFF switch is turned on. Have your vehicle inspected by
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
