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
(Advanced SCBS 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
animals.

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.

During the Advanced SCBS brake control, the brake pedal may move rearward or become
stiff. The brakes are operating, but continue to depress the brake pedal.
▼Collision Warning
If there is the possibili
ty of a collision with
a vehicle ahead, the beep sounds
continuously and a warning is indicated in
the multi-information di splay or the active
driving display.
NOTE
The operation distance and volume of the
collision warning can be changed. Refer
to the Settings se ction in the Mazda
Connect Owner's Manual.
▼ Automatic Brake
Operation Display
The automatic brake operation display is
indicated on the multi- information display
after the Advanced SCBS is operated.
NOTE
The collision warning beep sounds
intermittently while the Advanced SCBS
brake or brake assist (Advanced SCBS
brake assist) is operating.
If the vehicle is stopped by the Advanced
SCBS operation and the brake pedal is
not depressed, the warning beep sounds
1 time after about 2 seconds and the
Advanced SCBS brake is automatically
released.

Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)
System Operation
The Advanced SCBS system can be
temporarily deactivated.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda

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))
