safety of the rear and the surrounding

conditions by looking directly with

your eyes:

Reversing the vehicle by only looking at

the screen is dangerous as it may cause

an accident or a collision with an

object. The rear view monitor is only a

visual assist device when reversing the

vehicle. The images on the screen may

be diﬀerent from the actual conditions.

NOTE



If water, snow, or mud is stuck on

the camera lens, wipe it oﬀ using a

soft cloth. If it cannot be wiped oﬀ,

use a mild detergent.

the guide lines which appear on the

display.

Icy or snow-covered roads.

Tire chains or a temporary spare

tire is installed.



If the vehicle's front, side, or rear has

been involved in a collision, the

alignment of the rear view parking

camera (location, installation angle)

may have deviated. Always consult

an Authorized Mazda Dealer to have

the vehicle inspected.

The vehicle is on a road incline.

When the display is cold, images

may course across the monitor or the

screen and may be dimmer than

usual, which could cause diﬃculty in

conditions of the vehicle. Always

drive carefully conﬁrming the safety

of the rear and the surrounding

conditions by looking directly with

your eyes.

Viewing the Display

▼

Predicted vehicle path assist lines display type

The projected path guidance mode displays the predicted path of the vehicle after

you turn the steering wheel.

Use this mode for parking your vehicle in a parking space or garage.

a) Projected vehicle path (yellow)

These lines are displayed as a reference for the projected path of the vehicle.

The lines displaying the projected vehicle path change after you turn the steering

wheel.

b) Extended vehicle width lines (blue)

These lines indicate the vehicle's extended width.

These lines are not displayed when the vehicle's wheels are in the straight-ahead

position.

c) Distance guide lines (red)

These lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the

vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).

The blue line indicates the point about 50 cm (19 in) from the rear bumper.

The red and yellow lines, which change position after you turn the steering wheel,

indicate the points about 50 cm (19 in) for the red line and 100 cm (39.3 in) for

the yellow lines from the rear bumper (at the center point of each of the lines).

A degree of error occurs when the wheels are not in the straight-ahead position.

In the above illustration, the right side of the vehicle is in a position closer to the

actual distance displayed by the distance guide lines (red: about 50 cm (19 in)

point, yellow: about 100 cm (39.3 in) point behind the rear bumper), whereas

the left side is in a position farther away.

CAUTION

The indicated position of the guide lines on the display changes depending on the

vehicle conditions (such as the number of occupants/cargo load) and the road

conditions (such as a steep gradient to the rear of the vehicle).

Always check the area to the vehicle's rear and the surrounding area directly with

your eyes while backing up.

Fixed assist lines display type

Guide lines which indicate the width of the vehicle (yellow) are displayed on the

screen as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle in comparison to the

width of the parking space you are about to back into.

Use this display view for parking your vehicle in a parking space or garage.

a) Vehicle width guide lines (yellow)

Guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle.

b) Distance guide lines (red)

These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the

vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).

The red and yellow lines indicate the points about 50 cm (19 in) for the red line

and 100 cm (39.3 in) for the yellow lines from the rear bumper (at the center

point of each of the lines).

CAUTION

The guide lines on the screen are ﬁxed lines. They are not synced to the driver's

turning of the steering wheel. Always be careful and check the area to the vehicle's

rear and the surrounding area directly with your eyes while backing up.

Rear View Monitor Operation

▼

The operation of the rear view monitor when reversing the vehicle varies depending

on the traﬃc, road, and vehicle conditions. The amount of steering and the timing

with your eyes and steer the vehicle in accordance with the conditions.

Be well aware of the above cautions prior to using the rear view monitor.

turned to the right when backing up the vehicle. The operation is reversed when

backing up the vehicle from the opposite direction.

1. Shift the shift lever (manual transmission) or the selector lever (automatic

transmission) to reverse (R) position to switch the display to the rear view

monitor display.

2. Before backing the vehicle into the parking space, turn the steering wheel while

referring to the projected vehicle path display so that the vehicle enters the

center of the parking space.

Variance Between Actual Road Conditions and Displayed Image

▼

Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed road. Such

variance in distance perspective could lead to an accident. Note the following

conditions that may cause a variance in distance perspective.

When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and load

When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the screen appears farther

than the actual distance.

1. Object

2. Variance

When there is a steep grade behind the vehicle

When there is a steep upgrade (downgrade) behind the vehicle, the object displayed

on the screen appears farther (downgrade: closer) than the actual distance.

1. Appears farther than actual distance

2. Appears closer than actual distance

3. Distance between the vehicle and object displayed on the screen.

4. Actual distance between the vehicle and object.

5. Object at actual position

6. Object on screen

Three-dimensional object on vehicle rear

Because the distance guide lines are displayed based on a ﬂat surface, the distance

to the three-dimensional object displayed on the screen is diﬀerent from the actual

distance.

2. (Actual condition)

3. Sensed distance on screen A>B>C

4. Actual distance B>C=A

When reversing near a three-dimensional object

When reversing near an overhanging object, the vehicle may hit the object even if

the anticipated course line does not contact the object on the screen. The position

of the object displayed on the screen is diﬀerent from the actual position because

the anticipated course lines on the screen are displayed based on a horizontal road
