y If you have set the lane departure warning sound to the beep sound/rumble sound *1
setting, the warning sound may not be heard depending on the surrounding noise
conditions.
y If you have set the lane departure warning system to the steering wheel vibrations setting,
the vibration may not be felt depending on the road surface conditions.
y When the setting for the steering operation assist is changed to operational, the warnings
can be set to activate/not activate. (When the setting for the steering operation assist is
changed to non-operational, the warnings cannot be set to not activate.)
Refer to Setting Change (Personalization Features) on page 9-11 .
y The Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) can be
changed to the following settings regardless of whether the steering operation assist has
been set to operational/non-operational. Always check the setting status when driving the
vehicle and make setting changes if necessary.
Refer to Setting Change (Personalization Features) on page 9-11 .
y Steering wheel vibration: Strong/weak
y Warning sound volume
y Types of warnings (steering wheel vibration/beep sound/rumble sound *1 )
*1 A rumble strip is a series of grooves in the road pavement surface positioned at speci ¿ c
intervals, and when the vehicle passes over it a vibration and rumble sound is produced
which alerts the driver that the vehicle is departing from the lane.
The rumble sound is a reproduction of the sound which occurs when a vehicle passes
over a rumble strip.

Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) *
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is designed to reduce damage in the event
of a collision by operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the system's laser sensor
(front) detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is
unavoidable. It may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your
vehicle and a vehicle ahead is less than about 20 km/h (12 mph).
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system is in the operation
range at about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph), the brakes are applied ¿ rmly and quickly to
assist. (Brake Assist (SCBS brake assist))
Laser sensor (front)
WARNING
Do not rely on the Smart City Brake Support System (SCBS) as a substitute for safer
driving:
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system cannot compensate for unsafe and reckless
driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too closely), and driving on
slippery roads such as wet, snowy, and icy roads (reduced tire friction and road contact
because of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.

*Some models.
Smart Brake Support (SBS) *
Smart Brake Support (SBS) is a system which alerts the driver of a possible collision using
an indicator and warning sound in the instrument cluster while the vehicle is being driven at
about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster) and the system's radar sensor (front) determines
that your vehicle may hit a vehicle ahead. Furthermore, if the radar sensor (front) determines
that a collision is unavoidable, the automatic brake control is performed to reduce damage in
the event of a collision.
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the brakes operate more quickly to
assist the driver.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system and always drive
carefully:
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) is designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision,
not avoid an accident. The ability to detect an obstruction is limited depending on the
obstruction, weather conditions, or traffi c conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator pedal
or brake pedal is mistakenly operated it could result in an accident. Always verify the
safety of the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the Smart Brake Support (SBS)
system off to prevent a mistaken operation.

the system to not operate correctly. Consequently, each system may not operate normally
which could lead to an unexpected accident.
¾ 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.
¾ Heed the following cautions to assure the correct operation of the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC).
¾ 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).
¾ Be careful not to scratch the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens or allow it to get dirty.
¾ Do not remove the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cover.
¾ Do not place objects on the dashboard which refl ect light.

Use the windshield defroster to remove fogging on the windshield.
¾ Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer regarding cleaning the interior side of the
windshield around the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
¾ Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer before performing repairs around the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
¾ The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed to the windshield. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer for windshield repair and replacement.
¾ When performing repairs around the rearview mirror, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
¾ 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-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane
Departure Warning System (LDWS), the High Beam Control System (HBC), and the Smart
Brake Support (SBS) and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
¾ The direction in which the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is pointed has been fi nely
