Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) helps prevent the driver from 
overlooking traffic signs, and provides support for safe driving by displaying traffic 
signs on the active driving display which are recognised by the Forward Sensing 
Camera (FSC) or recorded in the navigation system while the vehicle is driven.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the active driving 
display while the vehicle is driven, the system notifies the driver using the 
indication in the active driving display and a warning sound.
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) displays the speed limit (including 
auxiliary signs) and do not enter signs.
Always check the traffic signs visually while driving.
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) helps prevent the driver from 
overlooking traffic signs and provides support for safe driving. Depending on 
the weather conditions or problems with traffic signs, a traffic sign may not be 
recognised or a traffic sign different from the actual traffic sign may be 
displayed. Always make it your responsibility as a driver to check the traffic 
signs.
WARNING
Otherwise, it could result in an unexpected accident.
NOTE
• The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) is not supported in some 
countries or regions. For information concerning the supported countries or 
regions, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda

Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) (Except The 
Philippines, Taiwan)
The Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) is a system which is designed to reduce 
damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the 
system’s ultrasonic sensors detect an obstruction at the rear of the vehicle while driving at a 
speed of about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph) and the system determines that a collision is 
unavoidable. In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system is in 
the operation range at a vehicle speed of about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph), the brakes are 
applied firmly and quickly to provide assistance. (Brake Assist (SCBS brake assist))
Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R)
The Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) alerts the driver of a possible 
collision using the display and a warning sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects 
a vehicle ahead or pedestrian and determines that a collision with the object is unavoidable while 
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.
Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F) (The Philippines, Taiwan)
The Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (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 (FSC) detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision 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 (SCBS brake) when the 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 less than about 20 km/h (12 mph).
• The 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.
• (Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)) Do not rely completely on the system:
WARNING
The Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) system operates 
in response to a vehicle ahead or a pedestrian. The system does not operate 
in response to obstructions such as a wall, 2-wheeled vehicles, or animals.
• (Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F))
The Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) is a system 
which operates in response to a vehicle ahead. The system may not be able 
to detect or react to 2-wheeled vehicles or pedestrians.
