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

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.
NOTE

The rear side radar sensors are installed
inside the rear bumper, one on each
side.
Always keep the surface of the rear
bumper near the rear side radar
sensors clean so that they operate
normally. Also, do not apply items such
as stickers.
Refer to Exterior Care on page 6-43.

images of the rear of the vehicle when
reversing.
WARNING
Always drive carefully confirming the
safety of the rear and the surrounding
conditions by looking directly with
your eyes:
Reversing the vehicle by only looking at
the screen is dangerous as it may cause
an accident or a collision with an
object. The rear view monitor is only a
visual assist device
when reversing the
vehicle. The images on the screen may
be different from the actual conditions.
CAUTION

Do not use the rear view monitor
under the following conditions:
Using the rear view monitor under
the following conditions is
dangerous and could result in injury
or vehicle damage or both.
 Icy or snow-covered roads.
 Tire chains or a temporary spare
tire is installed.
 The trunk lid is not fully closed.
 The vehicle is on a road incline.
 When the display is cold, images
may course across the monitor or the
screen and may be dimmer than
usual, which could cause difficulty in
confirming the surrounding
conditions of the vehicle. Always
drive carefully confirming the safety
of the rear and the surrounding
conditions by looking directly with
your eyes.
 Do not apply excessive force to the
camera. The camera position and
angle may deviate.
 Do not disassemble, modify, or
remove it as it may no longer be
waterproof.
 The camera cover is made of plastic.
Do not apply degreasing agents,
organic solvents, wax, or glass
coating agents to the camera cover.
If any are spilled on the cover, wipe
off with a soft cloth immediately.
 Do not rub the camera cover
forcefully with an abrasive or hard
brush. The camera cover or lens may
be scratched which might affect the
images.
NOTE
If water, snow, or mud is stuck on
the camera lens, wipe it
off using a
soft cloth. If it cannot be wiped off,
use a mild detergent.
If the camera temperature changes
rapidly (Hot to cold, cold to hot), the
rear view monitor may not operate
correctly.
When replacing the tires, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer. Replacing
the tires could result in deviation of
the guide lines which appear on the
display.
If the vehicle's front, side, or rear has
been involved in a collision, the
alignment of the rear view parking
camera (location, installation angle)
may have deviated. Always consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer to have
the vehicle inspected.
If “No camera signal.” is indicated in
the display, there could be a
problem with the camera. Have your
