Smart Brake Support
[Rear] (SBS -R)
*
▼ Smart Brake Support [Rear]
(SBS
-R)
The SBS -R is a system which is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision by operating the
brake control (SBS brake) when the
system’s sensors detect an obstruction
at the rear of the vehicle while driving
at a speed of about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to
4 mph) and the system determines that
a collision is unavoidable.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the SBS -R
system:
 The
SBS-R system is only designed to
reduce damage in the event of a
collision. Over reliance on the system
leading to the accelerator pedal or
brake pedal being mistakenly
operated could result in an accident.
 To assure the correct operation of
the SBS -R, heed the following
cautions.

Do not adhere stickers (including
transparent stickers) to the surface of
the radiator grille and front emblem
in and around the front radar sensor,
and do not replace the radiator grille
and front emblem with any product
that is not a genuine product
designed for use with the front radar
sensor.
 The front radar sensor 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 front radar sensor
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 front radar sensor
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 front radar
sensor could be hit and its position
deviated.
 Do not remove, disassemble, or
modify the front radar sensor.
 For repairs, replacement or paint
work around the front radar sensor,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 Do not modify the suspensions. If
the suspensions are modi fied, the
vehicle's posture could change and
the front radar sensor may not be
able to correctly detect a vehicle
ahead or an obstruction.NOTE
