i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety and driver
support systems which make use of a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and radar sensors.
These systems consist of active safety and pre-crash safety systems.

Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to maintain headway control*1
according to the vehicle speed using a radar sensor (front) to detect the distance to a vehicle
ahead, which frees the driver from having to constantly use the accelerator or brake pedals.
Additionally, if your vehicle starts closing in on the vehicle ahead because, for example, the
vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, a warning sound and a warning indication in the display are
activated simultaneously to alert you to maintain a sufficient distance between the vehicles.
The possible vehicle speed setting ranges are as follows:
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
Use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system on expressways and other
highways which do not require a lot of repeated acceleration and deceleration.
•(European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 200 km/h (124 mph)
•(Except European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 145 km/h (90 mph)
Do not rely completely on the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system
and always drive carefully:
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to reduce load on the
driver, and although it maintains a constant vehicle speed, or specifically, it
maintains a constant distance between your vehicle and the detected vehicle ahead
according to the vehicle speed, the system has detection limitations depending on the
type of vehicle ahead and its conditions, the weather conditions, and the road
conditions. Additionally, the system may be unable to decelerate sufficiently to avoid
hitting the vehicle ahead if the vehicle ahead applies the brakes suddenly or another
vehicle cuts into the driving lane, which 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.
WARNING
Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system in the
following locations. Otherwise, it could lead to an accident:
•Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle traffic is heavy and there is
insufficient space between vehicles. Roads where frequent and repetitive
acceleration and deceleration occur.
•When entering and exiting interchanges, service areas, and parking areas of highways.
•Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads.
•Long descending slopes.
*1 Headway Control: Control of the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
detected by the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system.

When Driving
Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)/ Smart City Brake
Support [Forward] (SCBS F)/ Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R)
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”
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.

Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system alerts the driver of a possible collision
using a display and warning sound if the radar sensor (front) and the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) determine that there is the possibility of a collision with a
vehicle ahead while the vehicle is being driven at about 15 km/h or faster (10
mph or faster). Furthermore, if the radar sensor (front) and the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) determines that a collision is unavoidable, the automatic brake
control is performed to reduce damage in the event of a collision.
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 traffic 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.
WARNING
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the brakes are applied
firmly and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS brake assist)).
