Parking Sensor System - Mazda 3 Owner's Manual

The parking sensor system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect obstructions around the vehicle
while parking the vehicle in a garage or during parallel parking when the vehicle is driven
at a speed of about 10 km/h (6 mph) or less. The system is equipped with an assist device to
notify the driver of the approximate distance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction
using a beep sound and obstruction detection indication

Do not rely completely on the parking sensor system and be sure to confi rm 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
confi rm the safety around your vehicle visually when driving.
NOTE
Do not install any accessories within the detection ranges of the sensors. It may affect
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.
