Mazda CX-3: i-ACTIVSENSE / Radar Sensors (Rear) (Some models)
Your vehicle is equipped with radar sensors (rear). The following systems
also use the radar
sensors (rear).
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
The radar sensors (rear) function by detecting the radio waves reflected off
a vehicle
approaching from the rear or an obstruction sent from the radar sensor.
The radar sensors (rear) are installed inside the rear bumper, one each on
the left and right
sides.
Always keep the surface of the rear bumper near the radar sensors (rear)
clean so that the
radar sensors (rear) operate normally. Also, do not apply items such as stickers.
Refer to Exterior Care.
CAUTION
If the rear bumper receives a severe impact, the system may no longer
operate normally. Stop
the system immediately and have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
NOTE
- The detection ability of the radar sensors (rear) has limitations.
In the following cases,
the detection ability may lower and the system may not operate normally.
- The rear bumper near the radar sensors (rear) has become
deformed.
- Snow, ice or mud adheres to the radar sensors (rear) on the
rear bumper.
- Under bad weather conditions such as rain, snow and fog.
- Under the following conditions, the radar sensors (rear) cannot
detect target objects or it
may be difficult to detect them.
- Stationary objects on a road or a road side such as small,
two-wheeled vehicles,
bicycles, pedestrians, animals, and shopping carts.
- Vehicle shapes which do not reflect radar waves well such as
empty trailers with a low
vehicle height and sports cars.
- Vehicles are shipped with the direction of the radar sensors (rear)
adjusted for each
vehicle to a loaded vehicle condition so that the radar sensors (rear)
detect approaching
vehicles correctly. If the direction of the radar sensors (rear) has
deviated for some
reason, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
- For repairs or replacement of the radar sensors (rear), or bumper
repairs, paintwork, and
replacement near the radar sensors, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
- Turn off the system while pulling a trailer or while an accessory
such as a bicycle carrier
is installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the radio waves emitted
by the radar will
be blocked causing the system to not operate normally.
The radar sensors are regulated by the relevant radio wave laws of the
country in which
the vehicle is driven. If the vehicle is driven abroad, authorization from the
country in
which the vehicle is driven may be required.
Your vehicle is equipped with a radar sensor (front).
The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function)
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The radar sensor (front) functions by detecting the radio waves reflected off
a vehicle ahead
or an obstruction sent from the radar sensor...
With cruise control, you can set and automatically maintain any speed of more
than about
25 km/h (16 mph).
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control under the following conditions:
Using the cruise control under the following conditions is dangerous and could
result in loss
of vehicle control...
Other information:
While this function is operating, the
headway control operation is canceled and
only the cruise control function operates.
The vehicle speed can be set more than
about 25 km/h (16 mph).
Use the cruise control function on
expressways and other highways which do
not require a lot of repeated acceleration
and deceleration...
Your Mazda is equipped with ISOFIX/LATCH*1 lower anchors for attachment of
specially
designed ISOFIX/LATCH*1 child-restraint systems in the rear seats. Both anchors
must be
used, otherwise the seat will bounce around and put the child in danger. Most
ISOFIX/
LATCH*1 child-restraint systems must also be used in conjunction with a tether
to be
effective...
Categories
Anchor brackets for securing
child-restraint systems are equipped in the
vehicle. Locate each anchor position using
the illustration.
To install a child-restraint system, remove
the head restraint. Always follow the
instruction manual accompanying the
child-restraint system.
Anchor bracket location
Use the indicated anchor bracket locations
when installing a child-restraint system
equipped with a tether.
