  When there is a steep grade behind the vehicle

    When there is a steep upgrade (downgrade) behind the vehicle, the object displayed on the 
screen appears farther (downgrade: closer) than the actual distance.

Rear View Monitor

           Picture  Quality Adjustment

 WARNING

 Always adjust the picture quality of the rear view monitor while the vehicle is stopped: 
 Do not adjust the picture quality of the rear view monitor while driving the vehicle. 
Adjusting the picture quality of the rear view monitor such as brightness, contrast, 
colour, and tint while driving the vehicle is dangerous as it could distract your attention 
from the vehicle operation which could lead to an accident. 

  Picture quality adjustment can be done while the shift lever is in reverse (R).
  There are four settings which can be adjusted including, brightness, contrast, tint, and 
colour. When adjusting, pay suf

¿ cient attention to the vehicle surroundings.

  

   1.   Select  the      icon on the screen to display the tabs.
   2.   Select  the  desired  tab  item.
   3.   Adjust the brightness, contrast, tint, and colour using the slider.
   

If you need to reset, press the reset button.

   4.   Select  the      icon on the screen to close the tab.

Parking Sensor System

*Some models.

      Parking  Sensor  System 

*

 

            The  parking  sensors  use  ultrasonic  sensors  which  detect  obstructions  around  the  vehicle 
when the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or parallel parking, and a 
buzzer sound and detection indicator notify the driver of the approximate distance from the 
vehicle to the surrounding obstruction.

 WARNING

 Do not rely completely on the parking sensor system and be sure to con

¿ rm the safety 

around your vehicle visually when driving: 
 This system can assist the driver in operating the vehicle in the backward directions 
while parking. The detection ranges of the sensors are limited, therefore, driving the 
vehicle while relying only on the system may cause an accident. Always con

¿ rm the 

safety around your vehicle visually when driving.

When Driving

Parking Sensor System

 NOTE

 

  Do not install any accessories within the detection ranges of the sensors. It may affect 

the system operation. 

 

  Depending on the type of obstruction and the surrounding conditions, the detection 

range of a sensor may narrow, or the sensors may not be able to detect obstructions. 

 

  The system may not operate normally under the following conditions: 

 

 

  Mud, ice, or snow is adhering to the sensor area (Returns to normal operation when 

removed).

 

  The sensor area is frozen (Returns to normal operation when the ice is thawed).

 

  The sensor is covered by a hand.

 

  The sensor is excessively shocked.

 

  The vehicle is excessively tilted.

 

  Under extremely hot or cold weather conditions.

 

  The vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, or grass covered roads.

 

  Anything which generates ultrasound is near the vehicle, such as another vehicle's 

horn, the engine sound of a motorcycle, the air brake sound of a large-sized vehicle, 
or another vehicle's sensors.

 

  The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or in road conditions causing water-splash.

 

  A commercially-available wing pole or an aerial for a radio transmitter is installed to 

the vehicle.

 

  The vehicle is moving towards a tall or square curbstone.

 

  An obstruction is too close to the sensor.    

 

  Obstructions under the bumper may not be detected. Obstructions that are lower than 

the bumper or thin which may have been initially detected but are no longer detected 
as the vehicle approaches more closely. 

 

  The following types of obstructions may not be detected: 

 

 

  Thin objects such as wire or rope

 

  Things which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snow

 

  Angular shaped objects

 

  Very tall objects, and those which are wide at the top

 

  Small,  short  objects    

 

  Always have the system inspected at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised 

Mazda Repairer if any shock is applied to the bumpers, even in a minor accident. If the 
sensors are deviated, they cannot detect obstructions. 

 

  The beeper which indicates a system malfunction may not be heard if the ambient 

temperature is extremely cold, or mud, ice, or snow adheres to the sensor area. 
Remove any foreign material from the sensor area. 

 

  When installing a trailer hitch, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an 

Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Air-Conditioning System

              Operating Tips

 

 Operate the air-conditioning system with 

the engine running.

 

 To prevent the battery from being 

discharged, do not leave the fan control 
dial on for a long period of time with the 
ignition switched ON when the engine is 
not running.

 

  (With i-stop) 



 The air

À ow amount may decrease 

slightly while the i-stop function is 
operating.

 

 Clear all obstructions such as leaves, 

snow and ice from the bonnet and the 
air inlet in the cowl grille to improve the 
system ef

¿ ciency.

 

 Use the air-conditioning system to defog 

the windows and dehumidify the air.

 

 The recirculate mode should be used 

when driving through tunnels or while in 
a traf

¿ c jam, or when you would like to 

shut off outside air for quick cooling of 
the interior.

 

 Use the outside air position for 

ventilation or windscreen defrosting.

 

 If the vehicle has been parked in direct 

sunlight during hot weather, open the 
windows to let warm air escape, then 
run the air-conditioning system.

    

  (With  A/C  switch)

 

 Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes 

at least once a month to keep internal 
parts lubricated.

 

 Have the air conditioner checked before 

the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant 
may make the air conditioner less 
ef

¿ cient.



  The refrigerant speci

¿ cations are 

indicated on a label attached to the 
inside of the engine compartment. Check 
the label before re

¿ lling the refrigerant. 

If the wrong type of refrigerant is used, 
it could result in a serious malfunction 
of the air conditioner.



  For details, consult an expert repairer, 

we recommend an Authorised Mazda 
Repairer.
