When Driving  
Parking Sensor System  
Parking Sensor System*  
Parking Sensor System  
▼
The parking sensors use ultrasonic sensors which detect obstructions around the  
vehicle when the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or parallel  
parking, and a buzzer sound and detection indicator notify the driver of the  
approximate distance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction.  
WARNING  
Do not rely completely on the parking sensor system and be sure to confirm the  
safety around your vehicle visually when driving:  
This system can assist the driver in operating the vehicle in the forward and  
backward directions while parking. The detection ranges of the sensors are limited,  
therefore, driving the vehicle while relying only on the system may cause an  
accident. Always confirm the safety around your vehicle visually when driving.  
CAUTION  
Do not install any accessories within the detection ranges of the sensors. It may  
aꢀect the system operation.  
Depending on the type of obstruction and the surrounding conditions, the  
detection range of a sensor may narrow, or the sensors may not be able to detect  
obstructions.  
When washing the vehicle, do not spray highly pressurized water against the  
sensor area, or rub it strongly. Otherwise, it may not be able to detect obstructions  
correctly and the system may not operate normally.  
NOTE  
When the ignition is switched OFF, the system status before it was turned oꢀ is  
maintained. For example, if the ignition is switched OFF while the parking sensor  
is activated, the system will be activated when the ignition is switched ON the  
next time.  
The system may not operate normally under the following conditions:  
Mud, ice, or snow is adhering to the sensor area (Returns to normal operation  
when removed).  
The sensor area is frozen (Returns to normal operation when the ice is thawed).  
The sensor is covered by a hand.  
The sensor is excessively shocked.  
The vehicle is excessively tilted.  
Under extremely hot or cold weather conditions.  
The vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, grating, or grass covered roads.

When Driving  
Parking Sensor System  
Anything which generates ultrasonic waves such as another vehicle's horn, the  
engine sound of a motorcycle, the air brake sound of a large-sized vehicle, or  
another vehicle's sensors approaches the vehicle.  
The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or in road conditions causing water-splash.  
A commercially-available fender pole or an antenna for a radio transmitter is  
installed to the vehicle.  
The vehicle is moving towards a tall or square curbstone, or a steep grade.  
An obstruction is too close to the sensor.  
The vehicle is moving towards an uneven wall or stairs.  
There are multiple obstructions.  
The vehicle is driven in a place with low ceilings.  
Obstructions under the bumper cannot be detected. Obstructions which are  
lower than the sensor or thin may not be detected even though they were  
detected once.  
The following types of obstructions may not be detected:  
Thin objects such as wire, rope or poles  
Things which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snow  
Angular shaped objects  
Very tall objects, and those which are wide at the top  
Small, short objects  
Always have the system inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer if any shock is  
applied to the bumpers, even in a minor accident. If the sensors are deviated, they  
cannot detect obstructions.  
The system may have a malfunction if a sound is not activated or the detection  
indication is not displayed even when the parking sensor OFF switch is pressed  
and the parking sensor is operable. Have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized  
Mazda Dealer.  
The system may have a malfunction if the indicator light does not turn on even  
when the parking sensor OFF switch is turned on. Have your vehicle inspected by  
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.  
The system may have a malfunction if a message indicating a system malfunction is  
displayed. Have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.  
A message may be displayed even when the ambient temperature is extremely  
cold, or mud, ice, or snow adheres to the sensor area. Remove any foreign matter  
from the sensor area.  
When installing a trailer hitch, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.  
If a Mazda genuine trailer hitch is used, the rear side of the parking sensor system  
is automatically turned oꢀ.

Informs the driver of the approximate distance from the vehicle to the obstruction  
using warning beeps depending on the distance. If multiple obstructions are  
detected at the same time, warning beeps are activated according to the distance to  
the nearest obstruction.

Parking Sensor System  
NOTE  
The detection indicator can be switched between display and non-display and the  
buzzer volume can be changed.  
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.  
(Vehicles with 360° View Monitor)  
When the detection indicator is set to “Display”, even with the 360° view monitor  
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, only 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 oꢀ)
