1. Cameras
2. Ultrasonic sensors
3. Front/Rear side radar sensors
WARNING
Always con firm the safety of the area
around the vehicle with the mirrors
and directly with your eyes when
driving:
The 360°View Monitor is an auxiliary
device which assists the driver in
checking the safety of the area around
the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and
detection range of the sensors are
limited. For example, the areas in black
at the front and rear of the vehicle
image and the seams where each of
the camera images merge are blind
spots where an obstruction may not be
visible. In addition, the extended
vehicle width lines and projected
vehicle path lines are only to be used
as references, and the images on the
screen may di ffer from the actual
conditions.
CAUTION
Do not use the 360°View Monitor
under any of the following
conditions.
Icy or snow-covered roads.
Tire chains or a temporary spare
tire is installed.
The front or rear doors are not fully
closed.
The vehicle is on a road incline.
The door mirrors are retracted.
Do not hit the front/rear camera,
front bumper, liftgate, and door
mirrors forcefully. The camera
position or installation angle may
shift.
The cameras are waterproof. Do not
disassemble, modify, or remove a
camera.
The camera cover is made of hard
plastic, therefore do not apply oil
film remover, organic solvents, wax,
or coating agents. If any such agent
gets on the camera cover, wipe it o ff
using a soft cloth immediately.
Do not rub the camera lens
forcefully, or clean it with an abrasive
or hard brush. Otherwise, it could
scratch the camera lens and
negatively a ffect the images.

operates normally.
Do not modify the vehicle
suspensions or lower/raise the
vehicle body, or both.
Always use tires of the
specified
type and size for the front and rear
wheels. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer for tire replacement.
When the display is cold, images
may leave trails or the screen might
be darker than usual, making it
di fficult to check the vehicle
surroundings. Always confirm the
safety at the front and around the
vehicle visually when driving.
The method for parking/stopping
the vehicle using the 360°View
Monitor
differs depending on the
road circumstances/conditions and
the vehicle conditions. When and
how much you turn the steering
wheel will differ depending on the
situation, therefore always check the
vehicle surroundings directly with
your eyes while using the system.
Also, before using the system, always
make sure that the vehicle can be
parked/stopped in the parking/
stopping space.
NOTE
If there are water droplets, snow, or
mud on the camera lens, wipe it off
using a soft cloth. If the camera lens
is especially dirty, wash it o ff with
mild detergent.
If the camera lens is touched or there
is any dirt on it, it could a ffect the
screen image. Wipe the lens using a
soft cloth.
If the area where the camera is
installed, such as the front bumper,
liftgate or door mirrors, has been
damaged in a vehicle accident, the
camera (position, installation angle)
may have shifted. Always consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer to have
the vehicle inspected.
If the camera is subjected to
excessive changes in temperature
such as by pouring hot water on the
camera during cold weather, the
360°View Monitor may not operate
normally.
If the vehicle is driven during cold
temperatures and the camera
temperature decreases, the top view
and the side view may become
u n c l ea r. H o we ve r, t h i s d o e s n o t
indicate a problem. If the vehicle is
stopped for a while and the camera
temperature increases, the top view
and the side view will return to the
normal condition.
If the lead-acid battery voltage is
low, the screen might be temporarily diffi cult to view, however, this does
not indicate a problem.
The 360°View Monitor has
limitations. Objects under the
bumper or near both ends of the
bumper cannot be displayed.
Obstructions above the upper image
range of the camera are not
displayed.
Under the following conditions, the
screen might be di fficult to view,
however this does not indicate a
problem.
The temperature near the lens is
high/low.

di ffers from the actual distance.
Obstructions displayed on the screen
may appear di fferently than in
actuality. (Obstructions may appear
fallen, larger, or longer than they
actually are.)
Do not apply stickers to a camera or
the area around it. In addition, do
not install accessories or an
illuminated number/character
license plate to the area around a
camera. Otherwise, the camera may
not correctly display the surrounding
conditions.
