When Driving

i-ACTIVSENSE

CAUTION

Heed the following precautions to assure correct operation of each system.



  Do not adhere stickers (including transparent stickers) to the surface of the radiator 

grille and front emblem in and around the radar sensor (front), and do not replace 

the radiator grille and front emblem with any product that is not a genuine product 

designed for use with the radar sensor (front).



  The radar sensor (front) includes a function for detecting soiling of the radar sensor's 

front surface and informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may 

require time to detect or it may not detect plastic shopping bags, ice or snow. If this 

occurs, the system may not operate correctly, therefore always keep the radar sensor 

(front) clean.



  Do not install a grille guard.



  If the front part of the vehicle has been damaged in a vehicle accident, the position of 

the radar sensor (front) may have moved. Stop the system immediately and always 

have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.



  Do not use the front bumper to push other vehicles or obstructions such as when 

pulling out of a parking space. Otherwise, the radar sensor (front) could be hit and its 

position deviated.



  Do not remove, disassemble, or modify the radar sensor (front).



  For repairs, replacement or paint work around the radar sensor (front), consult an 

Authorized Mazda Dealer.



  Do not modify the suspension. If the suspension are modified, the vehicle's posture 

could change and the radar sensor (front) may not be able to correctly detect a vehicle 

ahead or an obstruction.
