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 windsh ield. 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.
NOTE
In the following cases, the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) cannot detect
target objects correctly, and each system
may be unable to operate normally.
The height of the vehicle ahead is low.
You drive your vehicle at the same
speed as the vehicle ahead.
Headlights are not turned on during
the night or when going through a
tunnel.
In the following cases, the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) may not be able
to detect target objects correctly.
Under bad weather condition, such as
rain, fog and snow.
The window washer is being used or
the windshield wipers are not used
when it's raining.
Ice, fog, snow, frost, rainfall, dirt, or
foreign matter such as a plastic bag is
stuck on the windshield.
Trucks with low lo ading platforms and
vehicles with an extremely low or high
profile.
When driving next to walls with no
patterning (including fences and
longitudinally striped walls).
The taillights of the vehicle ahead are
turned off.
A vehicle is outside the illumination
range of the headlights.
The vehicle is making a sharp turn, or
ascending or descending a steep
slope.
Entering or exiting a tunnel.
Heavy luggage is loaded causing the
vehicle to tilt.
Strong light is shone at the front of the
vehicle (back light or high-beam light
from on-coming vehicles).
There are many light emitters on the
vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead is not
equipped with taillights or the
taillights are turned off at nighttime.
Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded
onto installed roof rails and covers
the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
Exhaust gas from the vehicle in front,
sand, snow, and water vapor rising
from manholes and grating, and water
splashed into the air.
When towing a malfunctioning
vehicle.
The vehicle is driven with tires having
significantly different wear.
The vehicle is driven on down slopes
or bumpy roads.
There are water puddles on the road.
The surroundings are dark such as
during the night, early evening, or
early morning, or in a tunnel or
indoor parking lot.
The illumination brightness of the
headlights is reduced or the headlight
illumination is weakened due to dirt
or a deviated optical axis.

Underinflation can cause reduced fuel
economy, uneven and accelerated tire
wear, and poor sealing of the tire bead,
which will deform the wheel and cause
separation of tire from rim.
Overinflation can produce a harsh ride,
uneven and accelerated tire wear, and a
greater possibility of damage from road
hazards.
Keep your tire pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs inflating,
have it inspected.
▼Tire Rotation
WA R N I N G
Rotate tires periodically:
Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining good
performance in handling and braking,
rotate the tires every 16,000 km (10,000
miles). However Mazda recommends to
rotate every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) to help
increase tire life and distribute wear more
evenly.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance (U.S.A.
and Puerto Rico) on page 6-4.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance (Canada)
on page 6-6.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance (Mexico)
on page 6-8.

During rotation, inspect them for correct
balance.

1. Forward
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tire in rotation.

Also, inspect them for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:
Incorrect tire pressure
Improper wheel alignment
Out-of-balance wheel
Severe braking

After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification (page 9-9) and inspect the
lug nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires
that have an asymmetrical tread pattern or
studs only from front to rear, not from side
to side. Tire performance will be reduced if
rotated from side to side.

Tire Maintenance
▼Tire Maintenance
Improper or inadequate vehicle
maintenance can cause tires to wear
abnormally. Here are some important
maintenance points:
▼Tire Inflation Pressure
Inspect all tire pressure monthly
(including the spare) when the tires are
cold. Maintain recommended pressures for
the best ride, top handling, and minimum
tire wear. Use the p
ressures specified on
the vehicle tire information placard or tire
label for optimum service.
▼ Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires
every 16,000 km (10,000 miles) at the
latest or sooner if irregular wear develops.
Mazda recommends to rotate every 8,000
km (5,000 miles) to help increase tire life
and distribute wear more evenly.
1. Forward
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tire in rotation.

Inspect the tires fo
r uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combinati on of the following:
Incorrect tire pressure
Improper wheel alignment
Out-of-balance wheel
Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification (page 9- 9) and inspect the
lug nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires
that have an asymmetrical tread pattern or
studs only from front to rear, not from side
to side. Tire performance will be weakened
if rotated from side to side.
▼ Replacing a Tire
WA R N I N G
Always use tires that are in good condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and traction
could result in an accident.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will
appear as a solid band across the tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
1. New tread
2. Worn tread
3. Tread wear indicator

You should replace the tire before the band
crosses the entire tread.
