Rear Cross Traffic Alert(RCTA)
*
The RCTA assists the driver in checking
the area to the rear of the vehicle, such
as while reversing out of a parking
space. When a vehicle approaching
from the rear on the left or right is
detected, various screen displays and
warning sounds notify the driver of the
danger.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Rear Cross Tra ffi c Alert (RCTA)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the RCTA.
The RCTA is a system to assist the
driver in checking the area to the rear
of the vehicle while reversing. Due to
certain limitations with the operation
of the system, the BSM warning light
may not
flash or it might be delayed
even though a vehicle is at the rear of
your vehicle. Always make it your
responsibility as a driver to check the
rear.

turned off when the trailer's
electrical connector is connected.
When pulling a trailer other than
with a Mazda genuine trailer hitch,
or while an accessory such as a
bicycle carrier is installed to the rear
of the vehicle, turn off the RCTA.
Otherwise, the radar’s radio waves
will be blocked causing the RCTA to
not operate normally.
The brightness of the BSM warning
lights is linked to the panel light
control.

Secondary CollisionReduction
*
The Secondary Collision Reduction
reduces secondary damage by
decelerating the vehicle when it is
damaged in a collision to the extent
that the airbags are deployed while
driving.
If a collision occurs to the extent that
the airbags are deployed while driving,
the hazard warning lights flash to alert
surrounding vehicles and the brakes
are controlled to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with an obstruction
or other object.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Secondary Collision Reduction
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
Secondary Collision Reduction.
The Secondary Collision Reduction
may not operate normally depending
on various conditions such as the
accident condition, component part
damage condition, target object
condition, weather conditions, or
traffic conditions. Do not rely
completely on the system and make
it your responsibility as a driver to
drive the vehicle.
 The functions of the Secondary
Collision Reduction have limitations.
If you neglect to operate the brake
and accelerator pedals correctly, it
could result in serious injury.
