CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to
assure correct operation of each
system.
Do not adhere stickers (including
transparent stickers) to the surface of
the radiator grille and front emblem
in and around the front radar sensor,
and do not replace the radiator grille
and front emblem with any product
that is not a genuine product
designed for use with the front radar
sensor.
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.
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.
Do not remove, disassemble, or
modify the front radar sensor.
For repairs, replacement or paint
work around the front radar sensor,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Do not modify the suspensions. If
the suspensions are modified, the
vehicle's posture could change and
the front radar sensor may not be
able to correctly detect a vehicle
ahead or an obstruction.
NOTE
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.
Under the following conditions, 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 or an automobile with a
loading platform covered by a soft
top, vehicles with a hard plastic
tailgate, and round-shaped
vehicles.
Vehicles ahead with low vehicle
height and thus less area for
reflecting radio waves.
Visibility is reduced due to a
vehicle ahead casting
off water,
snow, or sand from its tires and
onto your windshield.
The trunk/luggage compartment is
loaded with heavy objects or the
rear passenger seats are occupied.
Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front
surface of the front emblem.
During inclement weather such as
rain, snow, or sand storms.
When driving near facilities or
objects emitting strong radio
waves.
