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.

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.
