Parking Sensor System
*Some models.
Parking Sensor System *
The parking sensor system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect obstructions around the vehicle
while parking the vehicle in a garage or during parallel parking when the selector lever
is in reverse (R). The system is equipped with an assist device to notify the driver of the
approximate distance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction using a beep sound
and obstruction detection indication.
Rear corner sensor Rear sensor
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the parking sensor system and be sure to confi 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 confi rm the safety
around your vehicle visually when driving.
N O T E
y Do not install any accessories within the detection ranges of the sensors. It may affect the
system operation.
y 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.

Parking Sensor System
y The system may not operate normally under the following conditions:
y Mud, ice, or snow is adhering to the sensor area (Returns to normal operation when
removed).
y The sensor area is frozen (Returns to normal operation when the ice is thawed).
y The sensor is covered by a hand.
y The sensor is excessively shocked.
y The vehicle is excessively tilted.
y Under extremely hot or cold weather conditions.
y The vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, or grass covered roads.
y 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.
y The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or in road conditions causing water-splash.
y A commercially-available fender pole or an antenna for a radio transmitter is installed
to the vehicle.
y The vehicle is moving towards a tall or square curbstone.
y An obstruction is too close to the sensor.
y 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.
y The following types of obstructions may not be detected:
y Thin objects such as wire or rope
y Things which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snow
y Angular shaped objects
y Very tall objects, and those which are wide at the top
y Small, short objects
y Always have the system inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer if any shock is applied
to the bumpers, even in a minor accident. If the sensors are deviated, they cannot detect
obstructions.
y The system may have a malfunction if the beep does not operate or the indicator
light does not illuminate when the park assist sensors switch is turned on. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
y The system may have a malfunction if the beep sound which indicates a system
malfunction is heard and the indicator light À ashes. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
y 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.
y When installing a trailer hitch, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

(except for the close-distance zone). If the same obstruction is detected in another zone, the
corresponding beep sound is heard.
When Warning Indicator/Beep is Activated
The system noti ¿ es the driver of an abnormality by activating the beep sound and the
indicator light.
Indicator/Beep How to check
The indicator light À ashes when
the parking sensor switch is
pressed. The system may have a malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
The beep sound is not heard. The system may have a malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected at an

Interior Features
Climate Control System
O p e r a t i n g T i p s
y Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.
y To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
switch on for a long period of time with
the ignition switched ON when the
engine is not running.
y Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system ef ¿ ciency.
y Use the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
y 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.
y Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.
y If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the climate control system.
y Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes
at least once a month to keep internal
parts lubricated.
y 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 Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
