tance guide lines (blue & red)

Indicates the approximate width of the vehicle and the distance
(from front end of bumper) in front of the vehicle.



The red lines indicate the points up to about 0.5 m (19 in)
from the front end of the bumper.

NOTE

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.

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

How to use the projected vehicle path line function

(Screen display)

(Actual condition)

 
Make sure that there are no obstructions within the projected vehicle path lines.
Turn the steering wheel so that the projected vehicle path lines travel inside of the
obstruction (A), and drive the vehicle forward until it passes the obstruction.
If the projected vehicle path lines are on an obstruction (B) or outside of the obstruction (C),
the vehicle may contact the obstruction when turning the vehicle sharply.

CAUTION



The parking sensor detection range has limitations. For example, obstructions closing in
from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always confirm the safety
around the vehicle visually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sensor obstruction detection indication and warning sound.

When Driving

i-ACTIVSENSE

4-244

Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-302.



Do not turn the steering wheel any more until the vehicle has passed the obstruction, even
if the obstruction is not visible on the side view image. If the steering wheel is turned even
more, the vehicle may contact the obstruction if it is turned sharply.

NOTE



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.

NOTE



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



If an image containing an object with a conspicuous color is picked up by any of the
cameras, the screen area for each camera may be affected and it may display in that
color.



Obstructions displayed in the rear 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.

How to use the projected vehicle path line function

CAUTION



The front of the vehicle swings out wide when turning the steering wheel while reversing.
Maintain sufficient distance between the vehicle and an obstruction.



The parking sensor detection range has limitations. For example, obstructions closing in
from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always confirm the safety
around the vehicle visually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sensor obstruction detection indication and warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-302.

NOTE



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.

2. After the vehicle starts entering the parking space, stop and adjust the steering wheel so

that the distance between the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking space on
the left and right are roughly equal, and then continue backing up slowly.

3. Once the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking space on the left and right are

parallel, straighten the wheels and back the vehicle slowly into the parking space.

Margin of Error Between Road Surface on Screen and Actual Road Surface

There might be some margin of error between the road surface appearing on the screen and
the actual road surface. A margin of error in the perceived distance could lead to an
accident, therefore be aware of the following conditions which can more easily produce
errors in the perceived distance.
 

The vehicle tilts due to weight of passengers and cargo.

If the vehicle is tilted, obstructions picked up by a camera can appear farther or closer than
the actual distance from the vehicle.

Your vehicle is equipped with a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). The Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) is positioned near the rearview mirror and used by the following systems.



High Beam Control System (HBC)



Driver Attention Alert (DAA)



Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)

Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)

The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of the vehicle while
traveling at night and detects traffic lanes. The distance in which the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) can detect objects varies depending on the surrounding conditions.

WARNING

Do not modify the suspension:

If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to correctly detect
vehicles ahead. This will result in the system not operating normally or mistakenly operating,
which could cause a serious accident.

CAUTION



Do not apply accessories, stickers or film to the windshield near the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC).

When Driving

i-ACTIVSENSE

*Some models.

If the area in front of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens is obstructed, it will cause the
system to not operate correctly. Consequently, each system may not operate normally
which could lead to an unexpected accident.



Do not disassemble or modify the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
Disassembly or modification of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) will cause a malfunction
or mistaken operation. Consequently, each system may not operate normally which could
lead to an unexpected accident.



Heed the following cautions to assure the correct operation of the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC).



Be careful not to scratch the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens or allow it to get dirty.



Do not remove the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cover.



Do not place objects on the dashboard which reflect light.



Always keep the windshield glass around the camera clean by removing dirt or fogging.
Use the windshield defroster to remove fogging on the windshield.



Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer regarding cleaning the interior side of the
windshield around the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).



Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer before performing repairs around the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).



The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed to the windshield. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer for windshield repair and replacement.



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.



When performing repairs around the rearview mirror, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.



Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer regarding cleaning of the camera lens.



Do not hit or apply strong force to the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or the area around
it. If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is severely hit or if there are cracks or damage
caused by flying gravel or debris in the area around it, stop using the following systems
and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
