360°View Monitor Range
1. Cameras
2. Ultrasonic sensors
3. Front/Rear side radar sensors
WARNING
Always confirm the safety of the area
around the vehicle with the mirrors
and directly with your eyes when
driving:
The 360°View Monitor is an auxiliary
device which assists the driver in
checking the safety of the area around
the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and
detection range of the sensors are
limited. For example, 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 where an obstruction may not be
visible. In addition, the extended
vehicle width lines and projected
vehicle path lines are only to be used
as references, and the images on the
screen may differ from the actual
conditions.
CAUTION
 Do not use the 360°View Monitor
under any of the following
conditions.
 Icy or snow-covered roads.
 Tire chains or a temporary spare
tire is installed.
 The front or rear doors are not fully
closed.
 The vehicle is on a road incline.
 Bumpy roads.
 The door mirrors are retracted.
 Do not hit the front/rear camera,
front bumper, liftgate, and door
mirrors forcefully. The camera
position or installation angle may
shift.
 The cameras are waterproof. Do not
disassemble, modify, or remove a
camera.
 The camera cover is made of hard
plastic, therefore do not apply oil
film remover, orga nic solvents, wax,
or coating agents. If any such agent
gets on the camera cover, wipe it off
using a soft cloth immediately.
 Do not rub the camera lens
forcefully, or clean it with an abrasive
or hard brush. Otherwise, it could
scratch the camera lens and
negatively affect the images.
 If a camera lens is severely damaged
by flying gravel, have the camera
replaced. For camera replacement,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for repair, painting , or replacement
of the front/rear camera, front

surroundings. Always confirm the
safety at the front and around the
vehicle visually when driving.
 The method for parking/stopping
the vehicle using the 360°View
Monitor differs depending on the
road circumstances/conditions and
the vehicle conditions. When and
how much you turn the steering
wheel will differ depending on the
situation, therefore always check the
vehicle surroundings directly with
your eyes while using the system.
Also, before using the system, always
make sure that the vehicle can be
parked/stopped in the parking/
stopping space.

Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is
positioned near the rearview mirror
and used by the following systems.
High Beam Control System (HBC)Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)
Tra ffi c
Sign Recognition System (TSR)Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)Driver Attention Alert (DAA)Mazda Radar Cruise Control with

drive detection
1. 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).
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.

Sensing Camera (FSC) is pointed
has been finely adjusted. Do not
change the installation position of
the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
or remove it. Otherwise, it could
result in damage or malfunction.
 Always use tires for all wheels that
are of the specified size, and the
same manufacturer, brand, and tread
pattern. In addition, do not use tires
with
significantly
different wear
patterns on the same vehicle as the
system may not operate normally.
 The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
includes a function for detecting a
soiled windshield and informing the
driver, however, depending on the
conditions, it may not detect plastic
shopping bags, ice or snow on the
windshield. In such cases, the system
cannot accurately determine a
vehicle ahead and may not be able
to operate normally. Always drive
carefully and pay attention to the
road ahead.
