not displayed, if a front sensor or a front corner sensor detects an obstruction, the
360° view monitor switches automatically to display. When an obstruction is no
longer detected, the display switches to the display before the obstruction was
detected.
However, while the 360° view monitor is displayed, it continues to display no
matter if an obstruction is detected or not.
If an obstruction in the same area excluding the close area is detected
continuously for 6 seconds or longer, on ly the warning beeps stop activating.
(Detection is indicated) If the detection area changes to the close side, the
warning beeps resumes. (If the detection area changes to the far side, the warning
beeps remain off)

Operating Tips
▼Operating Tips
Operate the climate control system
with the engine running.
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.
Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the
air inlet in the cowl grille to improve
the system efficiency.
Use the climate control system to
defog the windows and dehumidify
the air.
The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or
while in a
traffic jam, or when you
would like to shut off outside air for
quick cooling of the interior.
Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.
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.
Run the air conditioner about 10
minutes at least once a month to
keep internal parts lubricated.
Have the air conditioner checked
before the weather gets hot. Lack of
refrigerant may make the air
conditioner less efficient.
The refrigerant specifications are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. If
the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious
malfunction of the air conditioner.
Consult a professional, government certified repairer for the inspection
or repair because a special device is
required for the air conditioner
maintenance.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
