(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.

does not indicate a malfunction.
In darkened areas.When the temperature around the lens is high/low.When the camera is wet such as on a rainy day or during periods of high
humidity.
When foreign material such as mud is stuck around the camera.When the camera lens reflects sunlight or headlight beams.The surroundings are illuminated by vehi
cle lights, fluorescent lights, or LED
lights (display may flicker).
Extremely small dark or white dots appear on the screen (dots may flicker).An object is close to a camera.Image display may be delayed if the te mperature around the camera is low.
▼Viewing the Display
Guide lines which indicate the width of the vehicle are displayed on the screen as a
reference to the approximate width of the vehicle in comparison to the width of the
parking space you are about to back into.
Use this display view for parking your
vehicle in a parking space or garage.
a) Vehicle width guide lines
Guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle.
b) Distance guide lines These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the
vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).
The red line indicates the point about 0.5 m (19 in) from the rear bumper.
The yellow lines indicate the points abou t 1.0 m (39 in) and 2.0 m (78 in) from
the rear bumper.

3. After your vehicle begins entering the parking space, continue backing up slowlyso that the distance between the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking
space on the left and right are roughly equal.

4. Continue to adjust the steering wheel until the vehicle width guide lines are parallel to the left and right sides of the parking space.
5. Once they are parallel, straighten the wheels and back your vehicle slowly into the parking space. Continue checking the vehicle's surroundings and then stop

6. When the selector lever is shifted from reverse (R) position to another selector lever position, the screen retu rns to the previous display.
NOTE
Because there may be a difference 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.
In the image of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the screen, the back
end and distance guide lines may appear aligned in the monitor, but they may not
actually be aligned on the ground.

When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking space,
the division line and the vehicle width guide line appear aligned in the monitor,
but they may not actually be aligned on the ground.
▼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.

▼Replacing a Wheel
WARNING
Always use wheels of the correct size
on your vehicle:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is
dangerous. Braking and handling could
be affected, leading to loss of control
and an accident.
CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely
affect:

Tire fit
 Wheel and bearing life
 Ground clearance
 Snow-chain clearance
 Speedometer calibration
 Headlight aim
 Bumper height
 Tire Pressure Monitoring System
NOTE
When replacing a wheel, make sure
the new one is the same as the
original factory wheel in diameter,
rim width, and offset (inset/outset).
For details, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

Proper tire balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and flat spots.

WARNING
Keep your vehicle's tires properly
inflated and not overloaded:
Driving with improperly inflated or
overloaded tires is dangerous.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure. The
temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded.

These grades will be added to the
sidewalls of passenger vehicle tires
over the next several years according to
a schedule established by the NHTSA
and the tire manufacturers.

The grade of tires available as standard
or optional equipment on Mazda
vehicles may vary with respect to
grade.

ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST
CONFORM TO THESE GRADES AND
TO ALL OTHER FEDERAL TIRE-SAFETY
REQUIREMENTS.
▼ UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY
GRADING
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tire sidewall
between tread shoulder and maximum
section width.
