may leave trails or the screen might
be darker than usual, making it
difficult to check the vehicle
surroundings. Always
confirm 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.

mud on the camera lens, wipe it off
using a soft cloth. If the camera lens
is especially dirty, wash it
off with
mild detergent.

is any dirt on it, it could affect the
screen image. Wipe the lens using a
soft cloth.
If the area where the camera is
installed, such as the front/rear

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

If the vehicle is driven during cold
temperatures and the camera
temperature decreases, the top view
and the side view may become
unclear. However, this does not
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 battery voltage is low, the
screen might be temporarily difficult
to view, however, this does not
indicate a problem.
