Heed the following precautions to assure correct operation of each system.

• Always keep the surface of the front bumper near the front side radar sensors clean so that they operate normally. Also, do not apply items such as stickers.

  Refer to Exterior Care (Search).

• If the front bumper receives a severe impact, the system may no longer operate normally. Stop the system immediately and have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

• Vehicles are shipped with the direction of the front side radar sensor adjusted for each vehicle to a loaded vehicle condition so that the front side radar sensor detect approaching vehicles correctly. If the direction of the front side radar sensor has deviated for some reason, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

• For repairs or replacement of the front side radar sensor, or bumper repairs, paintwork, and replacement near the radar sensors, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

• 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.

  • Obstructions displayed in the front view may not display on the top view screen.

  • If the position or angle of each camera changes due to tilting of the vehicle, the image may appear distorted.

  • 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 top view/rear wide view screen displays the image at the rear 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.
