The Alarm System that Detects Obstacles in the Mazda MX-5

Model: Mazda Mx 5 MK 4, ND - Years 2015-2024
Part: Checks and maintenance

If your Mazda MX-5 is equipped with the "rear traffic assist" system, it will signal with an audible alert when vehicles are approaching during reverse manoeuvres. This system can be activated and deactivated at will by pressing the dedicated button on the central dashboard. When switched off, the warning light will flash. Some Mazda owners with this system have reported that it does not function in certain situations, such as: - vehicle on a slope; - vehicle reversing at more than 6 miles/h; - sensor area obstructed; - vehicle approaching directly from behind.
