Collision warning
If there is the possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a vehicle approaching
from the rear on the left or right, or
from the rear while you are driving in
reverse, a warning sound is activated
continuously and a warning is
displayed on the multi-information
display and the active driving display.

NOTE
During brake control, the collision
warning sound is activated
intermittently.
Rear crossing
The Rear Crossing detection function is
designed to reduce the damage in the
event of a collision with a vehicle
approaching from the rear sides while
driving in reverse.
The Rear Crossing detection function
detects approaching vehicles using the
rear side radar sensors. If there is the
possibility of your vehicle colliding with
a vehicle approaching from the rear
sides while you are driving in reverse,
you are noti fied 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 Rear Crossing
detection function has certain
limitations. Therefore, the function
might not operate or it might be
delayed even if there is a vehicle
passing through the rear of your
vehicle. Always make it your
responsibility as a driver to check the
rear.
Do not rely completely on the Rear
Crossing detection function:
The Rear Crossing detection function
operates on vehicles while you are
driving in reverse. It will not operate on
walls, pedestrians, or animals.
Operation conditions
The Rear Crossing detection function
operates when all of the following
conditions are met.
The EV system is operating.The SBS is on.The selector lever is in the R position.The vehicle speed is about 10 km/h
(6.2 mph) or slower.
The vehicle speed of an approaching
vehicle is about 3 km/h (2 mph) or
faster.
There is no problem with the DSC.
NOTE
When any of the following
conditions is met, the i-ACTIVSENSE
warning indication/warning light is
turned on and the system operation
is stopped. If the i-ACTIVSENSE
warning indication/warning light
remains on, have the vehicle
inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer as soon as possible.
There is a problem with the
system.
A large deviation in the installation
position of a rear side radar sensor
on the vehicle has occurred.
Snow, ice, or mud is adhering
around a rear side radar sensor.
The temperature around a rear side
radar sensor is high.
Driving on snow-covered roads for
long periods.
The lead-acid battery voltage has
decreased.

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.
