NOTE
In the top view screen, 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.
Because images displayed in the top view screen are processed from each camera,
the top view screen may display in the following ways.
Depending on the surrounding environment, the color of objects may be
displayed on the screen in a co lor different from the actual one.
Depending on the surrounding environment, it may take a few seconds for the
color of the screen display to adjust.
Obstructions displayed in the front view may not display on the top view screen.If the position or angle of each camera changes due to tilting of the vehicle, the
image may appear distorted.
Lines on the road may appear distorted at the seams where each of the camera
images merge.
The screen area for each camera may appear bright/dark depending on the
illumination level around any of the cameras.

Viewing the screen

Display/IconContent
(1) Extended vehicle width lines and distance guide lines (blue & red) These guide lines indicate the approximate width of the
vehicle and distance to a point measured from the rear
of the vehicle (from the end of the bumper).
The red lines indicate the points up to about 0.5 m
(19 in) from the rear end of the bumper.
NOTE
The top view/rear wide view screen displays the image at the rear of the vehicle at a
wide angle and corrects the image to help
detect approaching obstructions from the
side. Therefore, it differs from the actual view.
▼ Margin of Error Between Road Surface
on Screen and Actual Road Surface
There might be some margin of error between the road surface appearing on the
screen and the actual road surface. A margin of error in the perceived distance could
lead to an accident, therefore be aware of the following conditions which can more
easily produce errors in the perceived distance.

The vehicle tilts due to weight of passengers and cargo.
If the vehicle is tilted, obstructions picked up by a camera can appear farther or
closer than the actual distance from the vehicle.

If the vehicle is on a slope, obstructions taken by the camera can appear farther or
closer than the actual distance from the vehicle.

Three-dimensional object at vehicle front or rear
Because the vehicle front end guide lines (side camera) or the distance guide lines
(rear camera) are displayed based on a flat surface, the distance to the
three-dimensional object displayed on the screen is different from the actual
distance.

Front Radar Sensor*
▼Front Radar Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with a front
radar sensor.
1. Front radar sensor

The following systems also use the
front radar sensor.
Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)Mazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function)
Tra ffi c
Jam Assist (TJA)Smart Brake Support (SBS) forward
drive detection
The front radar sensor functions by
detecting the radio waves reflected off
a vehicle ahead or an obstruction sent
from the radar sensor.
CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to
assure correct operation of each
system.
 Do not apply a sticker (including a
transparent one) to the front radar
sensor cover or replace the front
radar sensor cover with a product
other than a genuine product.
The front radar sensor includes a
function for detecting soiling of the
radar sensor's front surface and
informing the driver, however,
depending on the conditions, it may
require time to detect or it may not
detect plastic shopping bags, ice or
snow. If this occurs, the system may
not operate correctly, therefore
always keep the front radar sensor
clean.
 If “Safety and Driver Support Systems
Temporarily Disabled. Front Radar
Obscured. Drive Safely” is displayed
on the multi-information display of
the instrument cluster, clean the area
around the front radar sensor.
 Do not install a grille guard.
 If the front part of the vehicle has
been damaged in a vehicle accident,
the position of the front radar sensor
may have moved. Stop the system
immediately and always have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
 Do not use the front bumper to push
other vehicles or obstructions such
as when pulling out of a parking
space. Otherwise, the front radar
sensor could be hit and its position
deviated.
 For repairs, replacement or paint
work around the front radar sensor,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 Always use tires for all wheels that
are of the specified size, and the
same manufacturer, brand, and tread
pattern. In addition, do not use tires
with significantly different wear
patterns on the same vehicle as the
system may not operate normally.
NOTE
If the battery power is weak, the
system may not operate correctly.

When driving on roads with littletraffic and few vehicles ahead or
obstructions for the front radar
sensor to detect, “Safety and Driver
Support Systems Temporarily
Disabled. Front Radar Obscured.
Drive Safely” may be temporarily
displayed, however, this does not
indicate a problem.
The radar sensors are regulated by
the relevant radio wave laws of the
country in which the vehicle is
driven. If the vehicle is driven
abroad, authorization from the
country in which the vehicle is driven
may be required.
When the vehicle is driven on roads in
which there is an elevated road on one
side, the front radar sensor function
may be restricted temporarily.
When any of the fo llowing conditions
is met, the front radar sensor may not
be able to detect vehicles ahead or
obstructions correctly and each system
may not operate normally.
The rear surface of a vehicle ahead
does not reflect radio waves effectively (such as an unloaded
trailer, a vehicle with a loading
platform covered by a soft top, a
vehicle with a hard plastic liftgate,
and a round-shaped vehicle).
A vehicle ahead has limited areas
that can reflect radio waves (such as
a low profile vehicle).
Under bad weather conditions (rain,
fog , and snow).
Front visibility is reduced (due to a
vehicle ahead casting off water,
snow, or sand).
Foreign matter (ice, snow, or dirt) is
on the surface of the front radar
sensor cover.
Your vehicle is tilted (such as when
heavy luggage is in the luggage
compartment or on the rear seat).
The vehicle is driven near facilities or
objects emitting strong radio waves.
When any of the following conditions
is met, the front radar sensor may
detect vehicles in the opposite lane or
surrounding obstructions, or it may not
be able to detect vehicles ahead or
obstructions, and each system may not
operate normally.
The vehicle ahead enters the front
radar sensor’s blind spot.
The distance to the vehicle ahead is
extremely close.
The vehicle ahead is being driven in
an unstable condition.
A vehicle suddenly comes close such
as by cutting into your lane.
The vehicle is entering or exiting a
curve.
The vehicle is driven on a
continuously curving road.
The vehicle is driven on roads with
repeated up and downslopes.
The vehicle is driven on roads with
narrow lanes.
The vehicle is driven on poor roads
or unpaved roads.

which must be more than 25 km/h
(16 mph).
3. Adjust the system to the desired vehicle speed using the accelerator
pedal. Press the RES switch up (SET
+) or down (SET-) to start cruise
control. The cruise control
indication (green) in the instrument
cluster turns on at the same time.
Quickly release the switch when the
cruise control indication (green)
turns on.
NOTE
If the RES switch is operated up (SET
+) or down (SET-) while the vehicle
speed is between 25 and 30 km/h
(16 to 19 mph), the set speed is set
to 30 km/h (19 mph).
The cruise control speed setting
cannot be performed under the
following conditions:
Any of the doors is opened.The driver's seat belt is unfastened.The brake pedal is depressed.The parking brake is applied.The selector lever is in the P, N, or
R position.
On a steep grade, the vehicle may
momentarily slow down while
ascending or speed up while
descending.
The cruise control will cancel if the
vehicle speed decreases below 20
km/h (12 mph) when the cruise
control is activated, such as when
climbing a steep grade.
The vehicle speed preset using the
cruise control is displayed in the
instrument cluster and the active
driving display (vehicles with active
driving display).
