Keep Assist function and always drive
carefully:
The Road Keep Assist function has
limitations. Do not rely completely
on the system and always stay on
course using the steering wheel.
 The Road Keep Assist function is not
an autonomous driving system. In
addition, the system is not designed
to compensate for a driver’s lack of
caution, and over-reliance on the
system could lead to an accident.
Do not use the system under the
following conditions. Otherwise, it
may result in an accident:
 The vehicle is driven on slippery
roads such as icy roads,
snow-covered roads, and unpaved
roads.
 Tires other than the specified size are
used, such as when tire chains or
temporary spare tires are used.

becomes operational when any of the
following conditions is met.
The vehicle speed is about 64 km/h
(40 mph) or faster.

objects (such as gravel, grass, street
gutters, road curbs, guardrails, or
walls).
NOTE
The Road Keep Assist function may
not operate normally when any of
the following conditions is met.
A condition under which the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
cannot detect a target is met.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-189.
The target objects are
difficult to
detect (due to low road curb, no
contrast between the inside and
outside of the road, or being
hidden by vehicles ahead).

360°View Monitor Range
1. Cameras
2. Ultrasonic sensors
3. Front/Rear side radar sensors
WARNING
Always confirm the safety of the area
around the vehicle with the mirrors
and directly with your eyes when
driving:
The 360°View Monitor is an auxiliary
device which assists the driver in
checking the safety of the area around
the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and
detection range of the sensors are
limited. For example, 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 where an obstruction may not be
visible. In addition, the extended
vehicle width lines and projected
vehicle path lines are only to be used
as references, and the images on the
screen may differ from the actual
conditions.
CAUTION
 Do not use the 360°View Monitor
under any of the following
conditions.
 Icy or snow-covered roads.
 Tire chains or a temporary spare
tire is installed.
 The front or rear doors are not fully
closed.
 The vehicle is on a road incline.
 Bumpy roads.
 The door mirrors are retracted.
 Do not hit the front/rear camera,
front bumper, liftgate, and door
mirrors forcefully. The camera
position or installation angle may
shift.
 The cameras are waterproof. Do not
disassemble, modify, or remove a
camera.
 The camera cover is made of hard
plastic, therefore do not apply oil
film remover, orga nic solvents, wax,
or coating agents. If any such agent
gets on the camera cover, wipe it off
using a soft cloth immediately.
 Do not rub the camera lens
forcefully, or clean it with an abrasive
or hard brush. Otherwise, it could
scratch the camera lens and
negatively affect the images.
 If a camera lens is severely damaged
by flying gravel, have the camera
replaced. For camera replacement,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for repair, painting , or replacement
of the front/rear camera, front

How to use the projected vehicle path line function
CAUTION
The front of the vehicle swings out wide when turning the steering wheel while
reversing. Maintain sufficient distance between the vehicle and an obstruction.
 The parking sensor detection range has limitations. For example, obstructions
closing in from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always
confirm the safety around the vehicle visually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sens or obstruction detection indication and
warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-215.
NOTE
Because there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen,
such as indicated in the following, and the actual conditions when parking, always
check the safety at the rear of the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with
your eyes.
Even though the back end of the park ing space (or garage) displayed on the
screen and distance guide lines appear parallel, they may not actually be
parallel.
When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking
space, even though the division line and the vehicle width guide line appear
parallel, they may not actually be parallel.
The following shows an example of vehicle parking with the steering wheel turned
to the left while backing up the vehicle. When backing into a parking space from
the opposite direction, the st eering operation is reversed.
