Radar Sensors
The radar sensor detects objects by sending radio waves in a specific direction and receiving the reflected waves back.
Vehicle front
- Front radar sensor
- Front side radar sensors*
Vehicle rear
- Rear side radar sensors
CAUTION
- Heed the following cautions so that the radar sensors can function normally.
- Do not modify the suspensions.
- Use the specified tire size and the same type of tire on all 4 wheels. In addition, do not use tires with significantly different wear patterns or tire pressures on the same vehicle (including temporary spare tire).
- Do not spray highly pressurized water against the radar sensors or rub them strongly.
- Do not apply stickers on parts near the radar sensors.
- If foreign matter adheres to parts near the radar sensors, remove it and switch the vehicle power OFF. The foreign matter detection status is reset by switching the vehicle power OFF.
- Do not install any parts that cover the front of the radar sensors.
- Do not replace the radiator grille and emblem with anything other than genuine products.
- If strong force is applied to parts near the radar sensors, the direction of the radar sensor may become deviated and each system may not operate normally. Stop each system immediately and have the vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
The radar sensors include a function for detecting abnormalities in the sensor, soiling of the sensor’s front surface, and informing the driver. If a message appears on the screen that can be addressed, follow the directions of the message.
Front radar sensor
