• In the top view screen, 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.

• Because images displayed in the top view screen are processed from each camera, the top view screen may display in the following ways.

  • Depending on the surrounding environment, the color of objects may be displayed on the screen in a color different from the actual one.

  • Depending on the surrounding environment, it may take a few seconds for the color of the screen display to adjust.

  • Lines on the road may appear distorted at the seams where each of the camera images merge.

  • The screen area for each camera may appear bright/dark depending on the illumination level around any of the cameras.

The front wide view screen displays the image in front of the vehicle at a wide angle and corrects the image to help detect approaching obstructions from the side. Therefore, it differs from the actual view.

The setting can be changed so that the projected vehicle path lines are not displayed.

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

• Because there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen and the actual conditions, always check the safety of the surrounding area using the mirrors and directly with your eyes when driving.

• Even though the object displayed on the screen, such as a road curb or a division line of a parking space, and the vehicle parallel guide lines appear parallel, they may not actually be parallel.

• In the top view screen, 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.

• Because images displayed in the top view screen are processed from each camera, the top view screen may display in the following ways.

  • Depending on the surrounding environment, the color of objects may be displayed on the screen in a color different from the actual one.

  • Depending on the surrounding environment, it may take a few seconds for the color of the screen display to adjust.

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

• 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 parking 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 steering operation is reversed.

If the vehicle is on a slope, obstructions taken by the camera can appear farther or closer than the actual distance from the vehicle.
