Do not apply accessories, stickers, or
film to the windshield near the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). If the
area in front of the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) lens is obstructed, it
will cause the system to not operate
correctly even if it is transparent.
Always keep the windshield glass
around the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) clean by removing dirt or
fogging. If the windshield is fogged,
press the windshield defroster
switch.
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
includes a function for detecting a
soiled windshield and informing the
driver, however, depending on the
conditions, it may not detect plastic
shopping bags, water or snow on the
windshield. In such cases, the system
cannot accurately determine a
vehicle or obstruction in front and
may not be able to operate normally.
Always drive carefully and pay
attention to the road ahead.
When cleaning the windshield, do
not allow glass cleaners or similar
cleaning fluids to get on the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens. In
addition, do not touch the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) lens.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
regarding cleaning the interior side of
the windshield around the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
If there are cracks or damage caused
by flying gravel or debris on the
windshield, always have the
windshield replaced. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer before
replacing the windshield.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
before doing repairs around the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).When doing repairs around the
rearview mirror, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
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).
NOTE
If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
does not function normally due to
fog or the vehicle being driven
towards the sun, the functions
related to the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) are temporarily
stopped. In this case, the following
warning indications turn on.
However, this does not indicate a
problem.

surrounding the vehicle.
1. Side cameras*
2. Front camera*
3. Rear camera
CAUTION
Do not disassemble, modify, or
remove a camera.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
if you need to repair, replace, or
paint parts near the cameras.
If strong force is applied to a camera,
the camera position and the
installation angle may shift. Have
your vehicle inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Heed the following cautions so that
the cameras can function normally.
Do not modify the suspensions.
Always use wheels of the specified
size for the front and rear wheels.
Consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer for tire replacement.
Do not apply oil film remover,
organic solvents, wax or coating
agents, because the camera cover is
made of hard plastic. If any such
agent is applied, wipe it off using a
soft cloth immediately.
Do not rub a camera cover forcefully
with an abrasive or hard brush. The
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.
If a camera is affected by excessive
changes in temperature such as
pouring hot water on the camera
during cold weather, the camera may
not operate normally.

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.
