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 polesThings which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snowAngular shaped objectsVery tall objects, and those which are wide at the topSmall, short objectsAlways 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

with plain water is ineffective, use a
mild soap made for use on vehicles.

Thoroughly rinse o ff all soap with
lukewarm or cold water. Do not allow
soap to dry on the finish.

After washing the vehicle, dry it with a
clean chamois to prevent water spots
from forming.
WARNING
Dry o ff brakes that have become wet
by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to normal:
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when
braking could result in a serious
accident. Light braking will indicate
whether the brakes have been
a ff ected.
When using an automatic car wash
Retract the door mirrors.The automatic car wash brushes
could reduce the paint luster or
hasten paint deterioration.
NOTE
Release the parking brake and use
neutral hold mode (automatic car
wash mode) when it is necessary to
change the shift position to the N
position for an automatic car wash.
For details on neutral hold mode
(automatic car wash mode) (page
4-28).
When using a high water pressure car
wash
High water temperature and high
water pressure car washers are
available depending on the type of car
wash machine. If the car washer nozzle
is put too close to the vehicle, the
force of the spray could damage or
deform the molding , a ffect the
sealability of parts, and allow water to
penetrate the interior. Keep a su fficient
space (30 cm (12 in) or more)
between the nozzle and the vehicle. In
addition, do not spend too much time
spraying the same area of the vehicle,
and be very careful when spraying
between gaps in doors and around
windows.
Waxing
Your vehicle needs to be waxed when
water no longer beads on the finish.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing it. In addition to the vehicle
body, wax the metal trim to maintain
its luster.

1. Use wax which contains no abrasives.
Wax containing abrasives will
remove paints and could damage
bright metal parts.
2. Use a good grade of natural wax for metallic, mica, and solid colors.
3. When waxing, coat evenly with the sponge supplied or a soft cloth.
4. Wipe o ff the wax with a soft cloth.
NOTE
A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and
similar materials will usually also take
o ff the wax. Rewax these areas even if
the rest of the vehicle does not need it.
▼ Repairing Damage to the Finish
Deep scratches or chips on the
finish
should be repaired promptly. Exposed
metal quickly rusts and can lead to
major repairs.

CAUTION
Do not shake the bottle excessively.
Otherwise, the sealant could spray
out of the injection hose, and if the
sealant contacts clothing or other
objects, you may not be able to
remove it.
NOTE
The sealant hardens easily and
injecting it will be di fficult under
cold weather conditions (0 °C
(32 °F) or below). Warm the
sealant inside the vehicle to
facilitate injection.

▼Towing Description
If your vehicle stops operating and
needs to be towed, we recommend
that towing be done only by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.

Proper lifting and towing are necessary
to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Government and local laws must be
followed.

A towed vehicle usually should have its
drive wheels (front wheels) o
ff the
ground. If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent this, use wheel
dollies.
1. Wheel dollies

When towing with the rear wheels on
the ground, release the parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB) on
page 4-52.
CAUTION
 Do not tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the vehicle.
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. This could damage your
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed
equipment.
 If the parking brake cannot be
released when towing the vehicle,
transport the vehicle with all front
and rear wheels raised o ff the ground
as shown in the figure. If the vehicle
is towed without raising the wheels o ff the ground, the brake system
could be damaged.

When towing a vehicle, transport it
with both front wheels raised o ff the
ground or with all front and rear
wheels raised o ff the ground.
If the vehicle is towed with the front
wheels grounded, the EV system may
be damaged.
This vehicle cannot be used to tow
other vehicles.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, the vehicle may be towed
with all four wheels on the ground
using the tiedown hook at the front of
the vehicle.
If the vehicle has to be towed by rope
to move it such as in an emergency,
tow the vehicle in as short a distance
as possible such as to the transport
vehicle or to get unstuck. Otherwise,
the EV transaxle or EV system could be
damaged.
CAUTION
Follow these instructions when towing
the vehicle with all wheels on the
ground.
 Shift to the N position.
 Start the EV system.
 Release the parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
on page 4-52.
In the following cases, do not tow the
vehicle with rope. Otherwise, the EV
transaxle or EV system could be
damaged.
 The EV system does not start.
 The shift control system warning
indication/warning light displays/
turns on.
Do not stop the EV system while the
vehicle is being towed. Otherwise, the
parking lock may engage which could
lead to an accident.
Tiedown Hooks*
▼ Tiedown Hooks
CAUTION
Do not use the front and rear tiedown
eyelets for towing the vehicle.
They have been designed only for
securing the vehicle to a transport
vessel during shipping.
Using the eyelets for any other purpose
could result in the vehicle being
damaged.
1. Remove the tiedown eyelet and the
lug wrench from the luggage
compartment (page 7-3).
2. Wrap a flathead screwdriver or
similar tool with a soft cloth to
prevent damage to a painted
bumper, and open the cap located
on the front or rear bumper.
