MAZDA MAZDA 2023 Owners Manual

These lines are not displayed when the vehicle's wheels are in the straight-ahead
position.
c) Distance guide lines (red) These lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the
vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).
The blue line indicates the point about 0.5 m (19 in) from the rear bumper.
The red and yellow lines, which change position after you turn the steering wheel,
indicate the points about 0.5 m (19 in) for the red line and 1.0 m (39 in) and 2.0
m (78 in) for the yellow lines from the rear bumper (at the center point of each of
the lines).
A degree of error occurs when the wheels are not in the straight-ahead position.
In the above illustration, the right side of the vehicle is in a position closer to the
actual distance displayed by the distance guide lines (red: about 0.5 m (19 in)
point, yellow: about 1.0 m (39 in), and yellow: about 2.0 m (78 in) point behind
the rear bumper), whereas the left side is in a position farther away.
CAUTION
The indicated position of the guide lines on the display changes depending on the
vehicle conditions (such as the number of occupants/cargo load) and the road
conditions (such as a steep gradient to the rear of the vehicle).
Always check the area to the vehicle's rear and the surrounding area directly with
your eyes while backing up.
Fixed assist lines display type
Guide lines which indicate the width of the vehicle are displayed on the screen as a
reference to the approximate width of the vehicle in comparison to the width of the
parking space you are about to back into.
Use this display view for parking your vehicle in a parking space or garage.
a) Vehicle width guide lines
Guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle.
b) Distance guide lines These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the
vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).
The red line indicates the point about 0.5 m (19 in) from the rear bumper.

The yellow lines indicate the points about 1.0 m (39 in) and 2.0 m (78 in) from
the rear bumper.
CAUTION
The guide lines on the screen are fixed li nes. They are not synced to the driver's
turning of the steering wheel. Always be careful and check the area to the vehicle's
rear and the surrounding area directly with your eyes while backing up.
▼ Rear View Monitor Operation
The operation of the rear view monitor when reversing the vehicle varies depending
on the traffic, road, and vehicle conditions. The amount of steering and the timing
also varies depending on conditions, so confirm the surrounding conditions directly
with your eyes and steer the vehicle in accordance with the conditions.
Be well aware of the above cautions prior to using the rear view monitor.
Predicted vehicle path assist lines display type
NOTE
The following shows an example of vehicle parking in which the steering wheel is
turned to the right when backing up the vehicle. The operation is reversed when
backing up the vehicle from the opposite direction.
1. Shift the shift lever (manual transmission) or the selector lever (automatic
transmission) to reverse (R) position to switch the display to the rear view
monitor display.

5. Once they are parallel, straighten the wheels and back your vehicle slowly intothe parking space. Continue checking the vehicle's surroundings and then stop
the vehicle in the best possible position. (If the parking space has division lines,
check whether the vehicle width guide lines are parallel to them.)

6. When the shift lever (manual transmission) or the selector lever (automatic transmission) is shifted from reverse (R) position to another shift lever (manual
transmission) or the select or lever (automatic transmission) position, the screen
returns to the previous display.
NOTE
Because there may be a difference between the displayed image, such as indicated
below, and the actual conditions when parkin g , always verify the safety at the rear of
the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.

▼ Variance Between Actual Road Conditions and Displayed Image
Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed road. Such
variance in distance perspective could lead to an accident. Note the following
conditions that may cause a variance in distance perspective.
When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and load
When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the screen appears farther
than the actual distance.
