NOTE
     
The detection ability of the radar sensors (rear) has limitations. In the following cases,
the detection ability may lower and the system may not operate normally.
     
The rear bumper near the radar sensors (rear) has become deformed.
     
Snow, ice or mud adheres to the radar sensors (rear) on the rear bumper.
     
Under bad weather conditions such as rain, snow and fog.
     
Under the following conditions, the radar sensors (rear) cannot detect target objects or it
may be dif
fi
cult to detect them.
     
Stationary objects on a road or a road side such as small, two-wheeled vehicles,
bicycles, pedestrians, animals, and shopping carts.
     
Vehicle shapes which do not re
fl
ect radar waves well such as empty trailers with a low
vehicle height and sports cars.
     
Vehicles are shipped with the direction of the radar sensors (rear) adjusted for each
vehicle to a loaded vehicle condition so that the radar sensors (rear) detect approaching
vehicles correctly. If the direction of the radar sensors (rear) has deviated for some
reason, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
     
For repairs or replacement of the radar sensors (rear), or bumper repairs, paintwork,
and replacement near the radar sensors, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
     
Turn off the system while pulling a trailer or while an accessory such as a bicycle carrier
is installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the radio waves emitted by the radar will
be blocked causing the system to not operate normally.
     
The radar sensors are regulated by the relevant radio wave laws of the country in which
the vehicle is driven. If the vehicle is driven abroad, authorization from the country in
which the vehicle is driven may be required.
