Obstruction Detection Indication

The position of a sensor which has detected an obstruction is indicated. The gauge illuminates in different areas depending on the distance to an obstruction detected by the sensor.

As the vehicle approaches closer to an obstruction, the zone in the gauge closer to the vehicle illuminates.

 

The detection indicator can be switched between display and non-display and the buzzer volume can be changed.

Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.

When the detection indicator is set to “Display”, even with the 360° view monitor not displayed, if a front ultrasonic sensor or a front corner ultrasonic sensor detects an obstruction, the 360° view monitor switches automatically to display. When an obstruction is no longer detected, the display switches to the display before the obstruction was detected. However, while the 360° view monitor is displayed, it continues to display no matter if an obstruction is detected or not.
