GPS is a position detecting system utilizing the signals
from GPS satellites deployed by the U.S. Department of
Defense. The Mobile Navigation System uses input from
three or more satellites and calculates the vehicle position
based on the principle of triangulation.
The positioning accuracy of the system corresponds to the
error display of the GPS which is from about 30 to 200 meters.
l If you are using the system for the first time, or if you have not used it for some time, it takes
about 5 minutes (or about 2 minutes in open areas) to calculate your vehicle’s position.
nGPS signal reception is poor in the following places
lThe GPS satellites are controlled by the U.S. Defense Department, which may intentionally
lower positioning accuracy. In such cases, there may be vehicle position deviations.
l There may be vehicle position deviations for some time until GPS signals are received after
turning on the ignition.
This function compares your vehicle’s tracking data with the road data on the map
disc, applies dead reckoning to determine the road you are driving on, and displays
your vehicle on that road on the map.
l Intelligent map matching addresses the following problems to achieve high accuracy in
vehicle positioning.
Position Correction for Elevated RoadsPosition accuracy is improved by detecting if the vehicle is
running on or under an elevated road.
Position Correction for Parking GaragesPosition accuracy is improved by detecting if the vehicle is
driving in an elevated or underground parking garage.
High-precision GyrosensorA gyro detects turns with an accuracy of 0.05° per second.
Combined with a speed sensor, it enables the system to
display the current vehicle position even where GPS signals
may be blocked.
l Using a spare tire in place of the regular one may cause vehicle position deviations.
l Any difference between the direction which your vehicle actually travels and that shown on
the map is automatically eliminated by azimuth correction.

Precautions/System Performance
In the following situations, your vehicle position may not be displayed correctly on the
map. But, as you keep driving, your vehicle position will be automatically corrected
utilizing map matching and GPS data.
Although you may encounter the following problems in route guide, there is nothing
wrong with the system.

Route Guide
For certain intersection shapes,
the upcoming turn or the name of
the intersection may not be
announced. For certain intersection shapes,
you may be prompted to turn right
or left When you should actually
stay on the same road. Voice guidance for the planned
route may continue even after you
have deviated from that route
such as having turned too early.
Some points where the road
divides on highways or toll roads
may not be displayed or
announced. The Intersection Zoom Map may
not always agree with the actual
shape of the intersection.
The announced distance to an
upcoming turn may differ slightly
from reality.

The liquid crystal display may not open if the power supply had been interrupted due to the
vehicle battery being disconnected.
l If the liquid crystal display stays open/closed (or partly opened) and does not move when
the liquid crystal display is pressed, turn the ignition switch and then on again. Then try the
open/close operation again. If the liquid crystal display still does not move, contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
The beep sound and voice guidance related to the audio operation are not heard while a
Bluetooth Hands-Free is being used.
Operating Tips for Display
nDo not place any objects on the dashboard. If you drop any objects onto
the dashboard or spill liquid on it, it may result in system malfunction.
nBe careful not to pinch your hands or fingers when the liquid crystal
display is closed.
nDo not open/close the liquid crystal display manually. It may damage the
equipment.

Rear View Monitor
Switching to the Rear View Monitor Display
Shift the shift lever to R with the ignition switch in the ON position to switch the display to the
rear view monitor display.
Note
When the shift lever is shifted from R to another shift lever position, the screen returns to the
previous display.
Displayable Range on the Screen
The images on the screen may be different from the actual conditions. The figure is an example showing Mazda CX-9.
Note
lThe displayable range varies depending on the vehicle and road conditions.
l The displayable range is limited. Objects under the bumper or around the bumper ends
cannot be displayed.
l The distance appearing in the displayed image is different from the actual distance because
the rear view parking camera is equipped with a specific lens.
l Some optionally installed vehicle accessories may be picked up by the camera. Do not
install any optional parts that can interfere with the camera view, such as illuminating parts
or parts made of reflective material.
l It may be difficult to see the display under the following conditions, however, it does not
indicate a malfunction.
• In darkened areas.
• When the temperature around the lens is high/low.
• When the camera is wet such as on a rainy day or during periods of high humidity.
• When foreign material such as mud is stuck around the camera.
• When the camera lens reflects sunlight or headlight beams.
l If the camera picks up a high-intensity light such as sunlight reflected off the vehicle body, a
bright belt (light line) may appear on the display. (Smear phenomenon)
