WA R N I N G
Always check the surrounding area visually before actually putting the vehicle in reverse:
The system is only designed to assist you in checking for vehicles at the rear when putting the
vehicle in reverse. Due to certain limitations with the operation of this system, the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights may not flash or it might be delayed even though
a vehicle is behind your vehicl e. Always make it your responsibility as a driver to check the
rear.
NOTE
In the following cases, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF Indicator Light turns on
and operation of the system is stopped. If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF Indicator
Light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as
soon as possible.

WA R N I N G
Always confirm the safety of the area around the vehicle with the mirrors and directly with
your eyes when driving.
The 360°View Monitor is an auxiliary device which assists the driver in checking the safety of
the area around the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and detection range of the sensors are limited. For
example, the areas in black at the front and rear of the vehicle image and the seams where
each of the camera images merge are blind spots where an obstruction may not be visible. In
addition, the extended vehicle width lines and pr ojected vehicle path lines are only to be used
as references, and the images on the scree n may differ from the actual conditions.
CAUTION
Do not use the 360°View Monitor und er any of the following conditions.
 Icy or snow-covered roads.
 Tire chains or a temporary spare tire is installed.

on the road circumstances/conditions and th e vehicle conditions. When and how much you
turn the steering wheel will differ depending on the situation, , therefore always check the
vehicle surroundings directly with your eyes while using the system.
Also, before using the system, always make su re that the vehicle can be parked/stopped in
the parking/stopping space.
NOTE

If the camera lens is especially dirt y, wash it off with mild detergent.
If the area where the camera is installed, such as the liftgate or door mirrors, has been
damaged in a vehicle accident, the camera (position, installation angle) may have shifted.
Always consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer to have the vehicle inspected.
If the camera is subjected to excessive changes in temperature such as by pouring hot
water on the camera during cold weather, the 360°View Monitor may not operate

Because there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen and the
actual conditions, always check the safety of the surrounding area using the mirrors and
directly with your eyes when driving.
Even though the object displayed on the screen, such as a road curb or a division line of a
parking space, and the vehicle parallel guide lines appear parallel, they may not actually
be parallel.

Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)*
Your vehicle is equipped with a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). The Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) is positioned near t he rearview mirror and used by the following systems.
High Beam Control System (HBC)
Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System ( LDWS)
Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function)
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahea d of the vehicle while
traveling at night and detects traffic lanes. The distance in w hich the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) can detect objects v aries depending on the surrounding conditions.
WA R N I N G
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to correctly detect
vehicles ahead. This will result in the system not operating normally or mistakenly operating,
which could cause a serious accident.
CAUTION
 Do not apply accessories, stickers or film to the windshield near the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC).
If the area in front of the Forward Sensing Cam era (FSC) lens is obstructed, it will cause the
system to not operate correctly. Consequently, each system may not operate normally
which could lead to an unexpected accident.
