How to use the projected vehicle path line function
CAUTION

The front of the vehicle swings out wide wh en turning the steering wheel while reversing.
Maintain sufficient distance between the vehicle and an obstruction.
 The parking sensor detection range has limitat ions. For example, obstructions closing in
from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always
confirm the safety
around the vehicle visually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sensor obstru ction detection indication and warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-229.
NOTE
Because there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen, such as
indicated in the following, and the actual conditions when parking, always check the
safety at the rear of the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.
Even though the back end of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the screen and
distance guide lines appear parallel, they may not actually be parallel.
When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking space, even
though the division line and the vehicle wi dth guide line appear parallel, they may not
actually be parallel.
The following shows an example of vehicle parking with the steering wheel turned to the
left while backing up the vehicle. When backing into a parking space from the opposite
direction, the steering operation is reversed.

1. Back the vehicle into the parking space by turning the steering wheel so that the vehicleenters the center of the parking space.

(Actual condition)
(Screen display)
2. After the vehicle starts entering the parking space, stop and adjust the steering wheel so
that the distance between the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking space on
the left and right are roughly equal, and then continue backing up slowly.
3. Once the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking space on the left and right are
parallel, straighten the wheels and back the vehicle slowly into the parking space.
Continue checking the vehicle's surroundings and then stop the vehicle in the best
possible position. (If the parking space has division lines, check whether the vehicle
width guide lines are parallel to them.)

Margin of Error Between Road Surface
on Screen and Actual Road Surface
There might be some margin of error between the road surface appearing on the screen and
the actual road surface. A margin of error in the perceived distance could lead to an
accident, therefore be aware of the following conditions which can more easily produce
errors in the perceived distance.

The vehicle tilts due to weight of passengers and cargo.
If the vehicle is tilted, obstructi ons picked up by a camera can appear farther or closer than
the actual distance from the vehicle.

Do not use the front bumper to push other vehicles or obstructions such as when pulling
out of a parking space. Otherwise, the radar sensor (front) could be hit and its position
deviated.
 Do not remove, disassemble, or mo dify the radar sensor (front).
 For repairs, replacement or paint work ar ound the radar sensor (front), consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 Do not modify the suspension. If the suspensi on are modified, the vehicle's posture could
change and the radar sensor (front) may not be able to correctly detect a vehicle ahead or
an obstruction.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect vehicles
ahead or obstructions correctly and each system may not operate normally.
The rear surface of a vehicle ahead does not reflect radio waves effectively, such as an
unloaded trailer or an automobile with a loading platform covered by a soft top,
vehicles with a hard plastic tailgate, and round-shaped vehicles.
Vehicles ahead with low vehicle height and thus less area for reflecting radio waves.
Visibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead casting off water, snow, or sand from its tires
and onto your windshield.
The luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger seats are
occupied.
Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front surface of the front emblem.
During inclement weather such as rain, snow, or sand storms.
When driving near facilities or objects emitting strong radio waves.
Under the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect vehicles
ahead or obstructions.
The beginning and end of a curve.
Roads with continuous curves.
Narrow lane roads due to road construction or lane closures.
The vehicle ahead enters the radar sensor's blind spot.
The vehicle ahead is running abnormally due to accident or vehicle damage.
Roads with repeated up and down slopes
Driving on poor roads or unpaved roads.
The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely short.
A vehicle suddenly comes close such as by cutting into the lane.
To prevent incorrect operation of the system, use tires of the same specified size,
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern on all four wheels. In addition, do not use tires
with significantly different wear patterns or tire pressures on the same vehicle (Including
the temporary spare tire).
If the battery power is weak, the system may not operate correctly.
