Viewing the Display
Guide lines which indicate the width of the vehicle (yellow) are displ\
ayed on the screen as a
reference to the approximate width of the vehicle in comparison to the w\
idth of the parking
space you are about to back into.
Use this display view for parking your vehicle in a parking space or gar\
age.
b
a
a) Vehicle width guide lines (yellow)
These guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the v\
ehicle.
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 and yellow lines indicate the points about 50 cm (19 in) for t\
he red line and 100 cm (39.3 in) for the yellow lines from the rear bumper (at the center\
point of each of the
lines).
CAUTION
The guide lines on the screen are fi xed lines. 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 traffi c, road, and vehicle conditions. The amount of steering and the timing also varies
depending on conditions, so confi rm 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\
.
NOTE
Images displayed on the monitor from the rear view parking camera are reversed images
(mirror images).
1. Shift the shift lever to R to switch the display to the rear view monito\
r display.
2. Confi rming the surrounding conditions, reverse the vehicle.
(Display condition) (Vehicle condition)
3. After your vehicle begins entering the parking space, continue backing u\
p slowly so that
the distance between the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parkin\
g space on the left
and right are roughly equal.
4. Continue to adjust the steering wheel until the vehicle width guide line\
s are parallel to the left and right sides of the parking space.

5. Once they are parallel, straighten the wheels and back your vehicle slow\
ly into the parking space. Continue checking the vehicle's surroundings and then sto\
p 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.)
(Display condition) (Vehicle condition)
6. When the shift lever is shifted from R to another shift lever 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 parking, always verify the safety at the \
rear of the vehicle
and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.
 y In the image of the parking space (or garage) displayed below, even though the back end
and distance guide lines appear parallel in the monitor, they may not actually be parallel
on the ground.
 y When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the par\
king space, the
division line and the vehicle width guide line may appear parallel on th\
e monitor, but they
may not actually be parallel on the ground.

Climate Control System
Operating Tips
 y Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.
 y  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.
 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 effi 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 traffi c jam, or when you would like to
shut off outside air for quick cooling of
the interior.
 y  Use the outside air mode 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
effi cient.
 The refrigerant specifi cations are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before refi 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.
