The LAS & LDWS remains on stand-by
until it detects white (yellow) lines on
both the left and right sides, or on either
side.
When the system detects a white
(yellow) lane line on one side only, the
system will not activate warnings for the
lane line on the side that is not being
detected.

(likelihood of a warning) which the
system uses to determine the possibility
of a lane departure can be changed.
(Mazda Connect (Type A) only)
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
Vehicle lane line display
When the LAS & LDWS becomes
operational while on standby, the vehicle

▼Lane Departure Warning
If the system determines that the vehicle may deviate from its
lane, the lane departure
warning (beep sound, rumble sound (Mazda Connect (Type A) only)
*1, or steering wheel
vibration) is activated and the direction in which the system d etermines that the vehicle may
deviate is indicated in the multi-information display and the a ctive driving display.
If the system determines that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, the color of the lane line
on the side being detected by the system changes from white to amber, and flashes.

NOTE
If you have set the lane departure warning sound to the beep sound/rumble sound (Mazda
Connect (Type A) only)
*1 setting, the warning sound may not be heard depending on the
surrounding noise conditions.
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.

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 the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
The LAS & 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.

Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)*
The Advanced SCBS alerts the driver of a possible collision usi ng the display and a warning
sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects a vehicle a head or pedestrian and
determines that a collision with the object is unavoidable whil e the vehicle is driven at a
vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph) if the object is a vehicle ahead and about
10 to 80 km/h (6.2 to 50 mph) if the object is a pedestrian. In addition, the system reduces
damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake contr ol (Advanced SCBS brake)
when the system determines that a collision is unavoidable. In addition, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal, the brakes are applied firmly and qu ickly to assist. (Brake Assist

Do not rely completely on the Advanced SCBS system:
 The Advanced SCBS 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.
 The Advanced SCBS system operates in response to a vehicle ahead or a pedestrian. The
system does not operate in response to obstru ctions such as a wall, 2-wheeled vehicles, or

Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)*
The SCBS F system alerts the driver of a possible collision using an indication in the
display and a warning sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FS C) detects a vehicle
ahead and determines that a colli sion with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable while the vehicle
is being driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph). In addition, the
system reduces damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) brake) when t he system determines that a collision is unavoidable
while the vehicle is being driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph). It
may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you is les s 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 firmly and quickly to assist . (Brake Assist (Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) brake assist))
