4-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
Do not replace a sensor with a part
other than a genuine part.
Do not subject a sensor or its sur-
rounding area to a strong impact.
Do not damage the sensors, and
always keep them clean.
If the area around a radar sensor is
subjected to an impact, the system
may not operate properly due to a
sensor malfunction. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by any authorized
Mazda retailer or Mazda authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as
changes to the height or inclination of
the vehicle may prevent the sensors
from detecting objects correctly or
cause the system to not operate or
operate unnecessarily.
If the Parking Support Brake
function (static objects) oper-
ates unnecessarily, such as at a
railroad crossing
In the event that the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) oper-
ates unnecessarily, such as at a rail-
road crossing, brake control will be
canceled after approximately 2 sec-
onds, allowing you to proceed forward
and leave the area, brake control can
also be canceled by depressing the
brake pedal. Depressing the acceler-
ator pedal after brake control is can-
celed will allow you to proceed
forward and leave the area.
Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water
or steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor
malfunctioning.
When using a high pressure
washer to wash the vehicle, do not
spray the sensors directly, as doing
so may cause a sensor to malfunc-
tion.
When using steam to clean the
vehicle, do not direct steam too
close to the sensors as doing so
may cause a sensor to malfunction.
When to disable the Parking Sup-
port Brake
In the following situations, disable the
Parking Support Brake as the system
may operate even though there is no
possibility of a collision.
When inspecting the vehicle using
a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or
free roller
