Radar Sensors*
The radar sensor detects objects by
sending radio waves in a specific
direction and receiving the reflected
waves back.

CAUTION
Heed the following cautions so that
the radar sensors can function
normally.
Do not modify the suspensions.
Always use tires of the specified
size and the same manufacturer,
brand, and tread pattern on all 4
wheels. In addition, do not use
tires with significantly different
wear patterns or tire pressures on
the same vehicle (including
temporary spare tire).
Do not spray highly pressurized
water against the radar sensors or
rub them strongly.
Do not apply stickers on parts near
the radar sensors.
If foreign matter adheres to parts
near the radar sensors, remove it
and switch the vehicle power OFF.
The foreign matter detection status
is reset by switching the vehicle
power OFF.
Consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer if you need to repair,
replace, or paint parts near the
radar sensors.
Do not install any parts that cover
the front of the radar sensors.
Do not replace the radiator grille
and emblem with anything other
than genuine products.
If strong force is applied to parts near
the radar sensors, the direction of
the radar sensor may become
deviated and each system may not
operate normally. Stop each system
immediately and have the vehicle
inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
NOTE
The radar sensors include a function
for detecting abnormalities in the
sensor, soiling of the sensor’s front
surface, and informing the driver. If a
message appears on the screen that
can be addressed, follow the
directions of the message.

Do not modify the suspensions.
Always use wheels of the specified
size for the front and rear wheels.
Consult an Authorized Mazda

camera cover or lens might be
scratched which might affect the
images.
If the lens of the camera is badly
damaged by flying gravel, replace the
camera. For the camera
replacement, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Depending on the type of target
object and surrounding conditions,
the distance at which the camera can
detect target objects may be
shortened or the target objects may
not be detected. Always
confirm the
safety around the vehicle visually
when driving.
NOTE
Do not apply stickers and do not
install accessories or illuminated
number/character license plates to
the area around a camera.
Otherwise, the camera may not
correctly display the surrounding
conditions.

The distance in which the HBC can
detect objects varies depending on
the surrounding conditions.
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
may not be able to detect target
objects correctly, and the HBC may
not operate normally.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 5-127.
Using the HBC
Make sure that the light switch is in the
AUTO position.
The HBC determines the surrounding
conditions and operates automatically.
When the HBC operates, the HBC
indicator light (green)
