2024 MAZDA CX90 Owners Manual

Pa r k i n g S e n s o r*
The parking sensors are a system that
assists the driver in checking safety by
detecting obstructions around the
vehicle and notifying the driver while
parking. When an obstruction is
detected, a screen display and a
warning sound notify the driver of the
distance to the obstruction.
Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Parking Sensor
WARNING
Always confirm the safety of the area
around the vehicle visually when
driving.
The parking sensors are only auxiliary
devices when driving forward or in
reverse. In addition, the detection
range of the sensors is limited, and
driving the vehicle relying on the
system completely may cause an
accident.

How to Use the Parking Sensor
The parking sensors operate
When the system detects an obstruction, the driver is notified of the presence of the
obstruction by a screen display and a warning sound. The screen display and
warning sound change according to the distance from the obstruction.
In addition, if multiple obstructions are detected simultaneously, the warning sound
for the nearest obstruction is activated.

NOTE
If ultrasound sensors cannot detect an
object correctly, the system may not
operate normally.
Refer to Ultrasonic Sensors on page 5-135.
The screen display can be switched between display and non-display and the
volume of the warning sound can be changed.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
(Vehicles with 360° View Monitor)
When the screen display is set to be displayed, the display automatically switches
to the 360° View Monitor display when the sensor detects an obstruction. When
an obstruction is no longer detected, the display switches to the display before the
obstruction was detected. However, when the 360° View Monitor is displayed in
advance, it continues to be displayed no matter if an obstruction is detected or
not.

If an obstruction in the same detection range is detected continuously for 6
seconds or longer, only the warning sound stops (excluding the closest detection
range). When the detection range changes to the close side, the warning sound
resumes.
Tu r n i n g off the parking sensors
The parking sensors turn off and the parking sensor OFF switch indicator light turns
on.
If the switch is pressed again, the pa
rking sensors become operational and the
indicator light of the switch turns off.
System problem indication
If a problem occurs, the following display notifies the driver. The system may have
a malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

If a certain obstruction detection indication is continuously displayed, make sure
that there is no foreign matter on the sensor area corresponding to the detection
indicator. If the system does not recover, have the vehicle inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
check the following:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Inspecting the Coolant on
page 9-14.
Inspect the battery and its cables.
Cold reduces battery capacity.
Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that
the vehicle will be driven in (page
9-18).
Inspect the ignition system for
damage and loose connections.
Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze―but do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid
(page 9-17).
When driving on ice or in water, snow,
mud, sand, or similar hazards:
Be cautious and allow extra distance
for braking.
Avoid sudden braking and sudden
maneuvering.
Do not pump the brakes. Continue
to press down on the brake pedal.
Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS)
on page 5-84.
If you get stuck, select a lower gear
and accelerate slowly. Do not spin
the rear wheels.
For more traction in starting on
slippery surfaces such as ice or
packed snow, use sand, rock salt,
chains, carpeting, or other nonslip
material under the rear wheels.
NOTE
Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windshield is dangerous
as it could obstruct vision.
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice
or frozen snow on the mirror glass
and windshield.
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.
Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake
components. If this situation occurs,
drive the vehicle slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to
normal.

Snow Tires
WARNING
Use only the same size and type tires
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all 4
wheels:
Using tires different in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly affected and result in
an accident.
CAUTION
Check local regulations before using
studded tires.
Use snow tires on all 4 wheels
Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75
mph) while driving with snow tires.
When installing winter tires, use tires of
the specified size and adjust the air
pressure of all the tires to the specified
value. (page 10-71).

The vehicle is originally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used
all year around. In some extreme
climates you may find it necessary to
replace them with snow tires during
the winter months to further improve
traction on snow and ice covered
roads.
Tire Chains
Check local regulations before using
tire chains.
CAUTION
 Chains may aff ect handling.
 Do not go faster than 50 km/h (30
mph) or the chain manufacturer's
recommended limit, whichever is
lower.
 Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, and sharp turns.
 Avoid locked-wheel braking.
 Do not use chains on a temporary
spare tire; it may result in damage to
the vehicle and to the tire.
 Do not use chains on roads that are
free of snow or ice. The tires and
chains could be damaged.
 Chains may scratch or chip
aluminum wheels.
NOTE
The tire pressure monitoring system
may not function correctly when using
tire chains.
Install the chains on the rear tires only.
Do not use chains on the front tires.
Please consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
Installing the chains
1. Secure the chains on the rear tires
as tightly as possible. Always follow
the chain manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Retighten the chains after driving 1/2 ―1 km (1/4 ―1/2 mile).
