The rear view monitor is a visual assist system when reversing the vehicle that provides
images from the rear of the vehicle.
WARNING
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. Always drive
carefully confirming the safety of the rear and the surrounding conditions by looking
directly with your eyes. Reversing the vehicle by only looking at the screen may cause
an accident or a collision with an object.
CAUTION
Ø Do not use the rear view monitor if the trunk is not fully closed. Using the rear
view monitor under such a condition is dangerous and could result in injury or
vehicle damage or both.
Ø 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 confirming the
surrounding conditions of the vehicle. Always drive carefully confirming the safety
of the rear and the surrounding conditions by looking directly with your eyes.
Ø Do not apply excessive force to the camera. The camera position and angle may
deviate.
Ø Do not disassemble, modify, or remove it as it may no longer be waterproof.
Ø The camera cover is made of plastic. Do not apply degreasing agents, organic
solvents, wax, or glass coating agents to the camera cover. If any are spilled on
the cover, wipe off with a soft cloth immediately.
Ø Do not rub the cover excessively, or polish it using an abrasive compound or a
hard brush. The cover may be damaged affecting the image.
NOTE
If water, snow, or mud is stuck on the camera lens, wipe it off using a soft cloth. If it cannot be
l
wiped off, use a mild detergent.
If the camera temperature changes rapidly, such as by pouring hot water on it under cold
l
temperature conditions, the rear view monitor may not operate correctly.
If the vehicle's front, side, or rear has been involved in a collision, the alignment of the rear view
l
parking camera (location, installation angle) may have deviated. Always consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer to have the vehicle inspected.
(Navigation system)
The screen may not change to the camera image while the navigation system is being activated
l
immediately after the vehicle battery has been connected. If this occurs, activate the rear-view
monitor camera again soon after the navigation system.
