Mazda CX-5 2018 Owner's Manual page 392

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 modify the radar sensor (front).
For repairs, replacement or paint work around the radar sensor (front), consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Do not modify the suspension. If the suspension 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 tyres and onto your
windscreen.
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 tyres of the same specified
size, manufacturer, brand, and tread
pattern on all four wheels. In addition,
do not use tyres with significantly
different wear patterns or tyre
pressures on the same vehicle
(Including the temporary spare tyre).
If the battery power is weak, the system
•
may not operate correctly.
