360° View Monitor

*

The 360° View Monitor consists of the following functions which assist the driver in
checking the area surrounding the vehicle using various indications in the center display and
a warning sound while the vehicle is being driven at low speeds or while parking.



Top view
The top view displays an image of the vehicle from directly above on the center display
by combining the images taken from the 4 cameras set on all sides of the vehicle. The top
view displays on the right side of the screen when the front view or rear view screen is
being displayed. The top view assists the driver in checking the area surrounding the
vehicle when the vehicle is moving forward or in reverse.



Front view/front wide view
The image from the front of the vehicle is displayed on the center display.
The view from the front assists the driver in checking the front of the vehicle by
displaying guide lines on the displayed image taken from the front of the vehicle.



Side view
The images taken from the front left and right sides of the vehicle are displayed on the
center display.
The side view assists the driver in checking the front sides of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed image taken from the front left and right sides of the vehicle.



Rear view/rear wide view
The image from the rear of the vehicle is displayed on the center display.
The image from the rear assists the driver in checking the rear of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed image taken from the rear of the vehicle.



Parking sensor
If there are any obstructions near the vehicle while the top view/side view is displayed, an
obstruction detection indication turns on around the bumper in the center display.
The parking sensors use ultrasonic sensors to detect obstructions around the vehicle when
the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or parallel parking, and notifies
the driver of the approximate distance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction
using sound and an obstruction detection indication.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-231.



Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If there is the possibility of a collision with an approaching vehicle while the rear view/
rear wide view is displayed, a warning is displayed on the center display.
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) uses radar sensors (rear) to detect vehicles
approaching from the rear left and right sides of the vehicle, and it assists the driver in
checking the rear of the vehicle while reversing by flashing the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning lights and activating the warning sound.
Refer to Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) on page 4-138.

360°View Monitor Range

: Cameras
: Ultrasonic sensors
: Radar sensors (rear)

WARNING

Always confirm the safety of the area around the vehicle with the mirrors and directly with
your eyes when driving.
The 360°View Monitor is an auxiliary device which assists the driver in checking the safety of
the area around the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and detection range of the sensors are limited. For
example, the areas in black at the front and rear of the vehicle image and the seams where
each of the camera images merge are blind spots where an obstruction may not be visible. In
addition, the extended vehicle width lines and projected vehicle path lines are only to be used
as references, and the images on the screen may differ from the actual conditions.

CAUTION

Do not use the 360°View Monitor under any of the following conditions.

Icy or snow-covered roads.
Tire chains or a temporary spare tire is installed.

When Driving

The front doors or the liftgate is not fully closed.
The vehicle is on a road incline.
The door mirrors are retracted.

Do not hit the front/rear camera, front bumper, and door mirrors forcefully. The camera

position or installation angle may shift.

The cameras are of a waterproof structure. Do not disassemble, modify, or remove a

camera.

The camera cover is made of hard plastic, therefore do not apply oil film remover, organic

solvents, wax, or coating agents. If any such agent gets on the camera cover, wipe it off
using a soft cloth immediately.

Do not rub the camera lens forcefully, or clean it with an abrasive or hard brush. Otherwise,

it could scratch the camera lens and negatively affect the images.

Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for repair, painting, or replacement of the front/rear

camera, front bumper and door mirrors.

Heed the following cautions to assure that the 360°View Monitor operates normally.

Do not modify the vehicle suspensions or lower/raise the vehicle body, or both.
Always use wheels of the specified type and size for the front and rear wheels. Consult an

Authorized Mazda Dealer for tire replacement.

When the display is cold, images may leave trails or the screen might be darker than usual,

making it difficult to check the vehicle surroundings. Always confirm the safety at the front
and around the vehicle visually when driving.

The method for parking/stopping the vehicle using the 360°View Monitor differs depending

on the road circumstances/conditions and the vehicle conditions. When and how much you
turn the steering wheel will differ depending on the situation, , therefore always check the
vehicle surroundings directly with your eyes while using the system.
Also, before using the system, always make sure that the vehicle can be parked/stopped in
the parking/stopping space.

NOTE



If there are water droplets, snow, or mud on the camera lens, wipe it off using a soft cloth.
If the camera lens is especially dirty, wash it off with mild detergent.



If the area where the camera is installed, such as the liftgate or door mirrors, has been
damaged in a vehicle accident, the camera (position, installation angle) may have shifted.
Always consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer to have the vehicle inspected.



If the camera is subjected to excessive changes in temperature such as by pouring hot
water on the camera during cold weather, the 360°View Monitor may not operate
normally.



If the battery voltage is low, the screen might be temporarily difficult to view, however,
this does not indicate a problem.



The 360°View Monitor has limitations. Objects under the bumper or near both ends of the
bumper cannot be displayed.



Obstructions above the upper image range of the camera are not displayed.



Under the following conditions, the screen might be difficult to view, however this does
not indicate a problem.



Mud or foreign matter near the camera.





Because the 360°View Monitor camera uses a special lens, the distance displayed on the
screen differs from the actual distance.



Obstructions displayed on the screen may appear differently than in actuality.
(Obstructions may appear fallen, larger, or longer than they actually are.)



Do not apply stickers to a camera or the area around it. In addition, do not install
accessories or an illuminated number/character license plate to the area around a
camera. Otherwise, the camera may not correctly display the surrounding conditions.
