Do not apply a strong force to an ultrasonic sensor (rear):
When washing the vehicle, do not spray highly pressurised water against an ultrasonic sensor
(rear), or rub it strongly. In addition, do not hit the rear bumper forcefully when loading and
unloading cargo Otherwise, the sensors may no t detect obstructions correctly which could
cause the SCBS R system to not operate no rmally, or it could operate unnecessarily.
CAUTION
When driving
off-road in areas where there is grass or foliage, it is recommended that the
SCBS R system be turned off.
 Always use tyres of the specified size and th e same manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern
on all 4 wheels. In addition, do not use tyres wi th significantly different wear patterns on the
same vehicle. Otherwise, the SCBS R system may not operate normally.
 If ice or snow is stuck on the ultrasonic sensors (rear) they may not be able to detect
obstructions correctly depending on the conditions. In such cases, the system may not be
able to perform controls correctly. Always dr ive carefully and pay attention to the rear of
the vehicle.
NOTE
•The vehicle posture changes depending on the accelerator pedal, brake pedal and
steering wheel operations, which could make it difficult for the system to recognise an
obstruction, or it could facilitate unnecessary detection. In such cases, the SCBS R may or
may not operate.
•The SCBS R system will operate under the following conditions.
•The engine is running.
•The change lever (manual transaxle vehicle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle
vehicle) is in the R (reverse) position.
•“Reverse Smart City Brake Support Malfunction” is not displayed in the
multi-information display.
•The vehicle speed is between about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph).
•The SCBS R is not turned off.
•The DSC is not malfunctioning.
•The SCBS R operates using ultrasonic sensors (rear) which detect obstructions at the rear
by emitting ultrasonic waves and then receiving the returning waves reflected off the
obstructions.
•In the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions and the
SCBS R may not operate.
•The height of the obstruction is low such as low walls or trucks with low loading
platforms.

•The height of the obstruction is high such as trucks with high loading platforms.
•The obstruction is small.
•The obstruction is thin such as a signpost.
•The obstruction is positioned away from the centre of the vehicle.
•The surface of the obstruction is not pointed vertically relative to the vehicle.
•The obstruction is soft such as a hanging curtain or snow stuck to a vehicle.
•The obstruction is shaped irregularly.
•The obstruction is extremely close.
•In the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions correctly
and the SCBS R may not operate.
•Something is stuck on the bumper near an ultrasonic sensor (rear).
•The steering wheel is turned sharply, or the brake or accelerator pedal is operated.
•There is another obstruction near one obstruction.
•During inclement weather such as rain, fog and snow.
•High or low humidity.

near an ultrasonic sensor (rear).
•The orientation of an ultrasonic sensor (rear) has deviated for reasons such as a
collision.
•The vehicle is affected by other sound waves such as the horn, engine noise, ultrasonic
sensor of another vehicle.
•In the following cases, an ultrasonic sensor (rear) may detect something as a target
obstruction which could cause the SCBS R system to operate.
•Driving on a steep slope.
•Wheel blocks.
•Hanging curtains, gate poles such as at toll gates and railroad crossing.
•When travelling near objects such as foliage, barriers, vehicles, walls, and fences along
a road.

Smart Brake Support (SBS)*
The SBS system alerts the driver of a possible collision using a display and warning sound
if the radar sensor (front) and the Forward Sens ing Camera (FSC) determine that there is the
possibility of a collision with a vehicle ahead while the vehicle is being driven at about 15
km/h or faster (10 mph or faster). Furthermore, if the radar se nsor (front) and the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) determines that a collision is unavoidable, the automatic brake
control is performed to reduce d amage in the event of a collision.
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the bra kes are applied firmly and
quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS brake assist))
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the SBS system and always drive carefully:
The SBS is designed to reduce damage in the ev ent of a collision, not avoid an accident. The
ability to detect an obstruction is limited de pending on the obstruction, weather conditions,
or traffic conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator pe
dal or brake pedal is mistakenly operated
it could result in an accident. Always verify th e safety of the surrounding area and depress the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keepin g a safer distance from vehicles ahead or
on-coming vehicles.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the system off to prevent a mis-operation:
 The vehicle is being towed or when towing another vehicle.
 The vehicle is on a chassis roller.
 When driving on rough roads such as in areas of dense grass or
off-road.
NOTE
•The SBS system operates when all of the following conditions are met:
•The ignition is switched ON.
•The SBS system is on.
•The vehicle speed is about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster).
•The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is about 15 km/h or
faster (10 mph or faster).
•The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is not operating.
•The SBS system may not operate under the following conditions:
•If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly and it comes cl ose to a vehicle ahead.

•The accelerator pedal is depressed.
•The brake pedal is depressed.
•The steering wheel is being operated.
•The selector lever is being operated.
•The direction indicator is being used.
•When the vehicle ahead is not equipped with tail lights or the tail lights are turned off.

Sensing Camera (FSC) are being displayed in the multi-information display.
•Although the objects which activate the system are four-wheeled vehicles, the radar
sensor (front) could detect the following objects, determine them to be an obstruction, and
operate the SBS system.
•Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve (including guardrails and snow banks).
•A vehicle appears in the opposite lane while cornering or rounding a curve.
•When crossing a narrow bridge.

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)
•Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with S top & Go function)
•Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
•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.
The radar sensor (front) is mo unted behind the front emblem.
Radar sensor (front)
If “Front radar blocked” is displayed in the multi-information display of the instrument
cluster, clean the area around the radar sensor (front).
CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to a ssure correct operation of each system.
 Do not adhere stickers (including transparent st ickers) to the surface of the radiator grille
and front emblem in and around the radar sens or (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 fo r 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 sh opping bags, ice or snow. If this occurs, the
system may not operate correctly, therefore al ways keep the radar sensor (front) clean.
 Do not install a grille guard.
 If the front part of the vehicle has been dama ged 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 Authorised Mazda Repairer.
