WARNING
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) when the vehicle is running on a chassis
roller or being towed:
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system to prevent mistaken operation
when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed. See the next page on
how to turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS).
Refer to Stopping The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation on page
4-143 .
CAUTION
  When driving off-road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recommended that
the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off.
  Always use tyres for all wheels that are of the specifi ed size, and the same
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tyres with signifi cantly
different wear patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
system may not operate normally.
  The laser sensor (front) includes a function for detecting a soiled windscreen and
informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect plastic
shopping bags, ice or snow on the windscreen. In such cases, the system cannot
accurately determine a vehicle ahead and may not be able to operate normally. Always
drive carefully and pay attention to the road ahead.
NOTE
  The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is
deliberately performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
  The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following
conditions.
 


 The engine is running.



 The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) warning light (amber) does not illuminate.



 The vehicle speed is between about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph).



 The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.



 The DSC is not malfunctioning.

CAUTION
  Do not apply accessories, stickers or fi lm to the windscreen near the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC).
 If the area in front of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens is obstructed, it will
cause the system to not operate correctly. Consequently, each system may not operate
normally which could lead to an unexpected accident.
  Do not disassemble or modify the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).  Disassembly or modifi cation of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) will cause a
malfunction or mistaken operation. Consequently, each system may not operate
normally which could lead to an unexpected accident.
  Heed the following cautions to assure the correct operation of the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC).
 


 The direction of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) has been fi nely adjusted,
therefore do not change the installation position or remove the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC).
 


 Be careful not to scratch the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens or allow it to get
dirty.
 


 Do not remove the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cover.



 Do not place objects on the instrument panel which refl ect light.



 Always keep the windscreen glass around the camera clean by removing dirt or
fogging. Use the windscreen defroster to remove fogging on the windscreen.
 


 Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer regarding
cleaning the interior side of the windscreen around the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC).
 


 Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer before
performing repairs around the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
 


 The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed to the windscreen. Consult an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer for windscreen repair and
replacement.
 


 When performing repairs around the rearview mirror, consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
 


 Do not hit or apply strong force to the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or the area
around it. If strong force is applied, stop using the Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS), the High Beam Control System (HBC), and the Smart Brake Support
(SBS) and consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
 


 The direction in which the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is pointed has been fi nely
adjusted. Do not change the installation position of the Forward Sensing Camera

Radar Sensor (Front) *
Your vehicle is equipped with a radar sensor (front).
The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).
 


 Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)



 Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)



 Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The radar sensor (front) functions by detecting the radio waves refl ected off a vehicle ahead
or an obstruction sent from the radar sensor.
The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the front emblem.
Radar sensor (front)
If the Smart Brake Support/Smart City Brake Support (SBS/SCBS) Warning Light (amber)
is illuminated, the area around the radar sensor may be dirty. Refer to “Warning Guidance”
in the centre display (Type C/D audio).
Refer to If a Warning Light Turns On or Flashes on page 7-35 .

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
  Under the following conditions,
the radar sensor (front) may not
be able to detect vehicles ahead
or obstructions correctly and each
system may not operate normally.
 


 The rear surface of a vehicle
ahead does not refl ect radio waves
effectively, such as an unloaded
trailer or an automobile with a
loading platform covered by a
soft top, vehicles with a hard
plastic tailgate, and round-shaped
vehicles.
 


 Vehicles ahead with low vehicle
height and thus less area for
refl ecting radio waves.




 Visibility is reduced due to a
vehicle ahead casting off water,
snow, or sand from its tyres and
onto your windscreen.
 


 The luggage compartment is
loaded with heavy objects or the
rear passenger seats are occupied.
 


 Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front
surface of the front emblem.
 


 During inclement weather such as
rain, snow, or sand storms.
 


 When driving near facilities or
objects emitting strong radio
waves.
NOTE
  Under the following conditions,
the radar sensor (front) may not
be able to detect vehicles ahead or
obstructions.
 


 The beginning and end of a curve.



 Roads with continuous curves.



 Narrow lane roads due to road
construction or lane closures.
 


 The vehicle ahead enters the radar
sensor's blind spot.
 


 The vehicle ahead is running
abnormally due to accident or
vehicle damage.
 


 Roads with repeated up and down
slopes
 


 Driving on poor roads or unpaved
roads.
 


 The distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead is extremely
short.
 


 A vehicle suddenly comes close
such as by cutting into the lane.


 To prevent incorrect operation of
the system, use tyres of the same
specifi ed size, manufacturer, brand,
and tread pattern on all four wheels.
In addition, do not use tyres with
signifi cantly different wear patterns
or tyre pressures on the same vehicle
(Including the temporary spare tyre).
  If the battery power is weak, the
system may not operate correctly.
  When driving on roads with little
traffi c and few vehicles ahead or
obstructions for the radar sensor to
detect, Smart Brake Support/Smart
City Brake Support (SBS/SCBS)
Warning Light (amber) temporarily
illuminates, however, this does not
indicate a problem.

When Driving
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System *
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all four tyres. If
the air pressure of one or more tyres is too low, the system warns the driver by indicating the
tyre pressure monitoring system warning light in the instrument cluster and operating a beep
sound. The system monitors the tyre pressures indirectly using the data sent from the ABS
wheel speed sensors.
To allow the system to operate correctly, the system needs to be initialized with the specifi ed
tyre pressure (value on the tyre pressure label). Follow the procedure and perform the
initialization.
Refer to Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on page 4-166 .
The warning light fl ashes when the system has a malfunction.
