1 This indicator light turns on to remind you that the front passenger’s front/side
airbags and seat belt pretensioner will not deploy during a collision. The reason for
this is that the sensor has determined that an adult is not sitting in the front passenger seat.
NOTE: If a smaller adult sits on the front passenger seat, the sensors might detect the adult as being
a child depending on the person’s physique and may deactivate the front passenger’s front/side
airbags and seat belt pretensioner. Always wear your seat belt and secure children in the rear seats in
appropriate child restraints. See the Owner’s Manual for important information on this safety feature.

Headrests
For your safety, the front seats are equipped with active headrests that are
not adjustable forward or backward, only up and down. An active headrest
is designed to move forward in the event of a collision to close the gap
between your head and the headrest (to reduce the possibility of whiplash).

Mazda Radar Cruise Control
Setting the MRCC
When the Mode switch is pushed,
the vehicle speed and the distance
between vehicles while in headway
control can be set. The MRCC
indication is shown in the multi-display.
The indicator light in the multi-display
and the Active Driving Display will be
green and will turn on simultaneously.
MAZDA RADAR CRUISE CONTROL (MRCC) SYSTEM (if equipped)
The MRCC system maintains vehicle speed and following distance using
a radar sensor to detect a vehicle ahead. The driver simply presets the
vehicle speed between 19 mph and 90 mph and the system will maintain a
safe following distance without having to turn the cruise control off.
MRCC WARNING: MRCC shuts off when it reaches the low mph limit. “BRAKE”
is displayed. The vehicle will not brake/stop by itself.
The system operates in two modes, Constant Speed and Headway Control modes:
Constant Speed Mode When no vehicle is detected ahead,
the driver’s set speed is maintained.
Headway Control Mode When a vehicle is detected ahead,
a distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is maintained.
NOTE: The radar for the MRCC is
located behind the Mazda emblem in
the grill. Keep this area clean to avoid
the system not working properly.

Smart City Brake Support
SMART CITY BRAKE SUPPORT (SCBS) SYSTEM (if equipped)
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision by automatically applying the vehicle’s
braking system when the system’s laser sensor detects an imminent
collision with the vehicle ahead:
• When your vehicle speed is 2 to 18 mph.
•
The s

ystem determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable.
•
It ma

y be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than 12.5 mph.
•
Whe

n the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system
is in the operation range at about 2 to 18 mph, the brakes are
applied firmly and quickly to assist. (SCBS Automatic Brake is
displayed in the Multi-information Display).
•
SCB

S automatic brake is released approximately two
seconds after the vehicle comes to a stop.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
SCBS system can be turned off using Safety Settings
in MAZDA CONNECT. (see page 10)

Smart Brake Support
SMART BRAKE SUPPORT (SBS) (if equipped)
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) is a system which alerts the driver
of a possible collision using an indicator and warning sound in the
instrument cluster while the vehicle is being driven at about 10 mph or
faster and the system’s radar sensor determines that your vehicle may
hit a vehicle ahead. Furthermore, if the radar sensor determines that
a collision is unavoidable, the automatic brake control is performed to
reduce damage in the event of a collision. In addition, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal, the brakes operate more quickly to assist
the driver.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
Radar sensor Laser sensor
Collision Warning
If there is the possibility of a collision with a vehicle ahead, the
beep sounds continuously and a warning is indicated in the
Multi-information Display.
Smart City Brake Support
SBS system can be turned off using Safety Settings in MAZDA CONNECT.
(see page 10)
WARNING: SBS is only a supplementary system to reduce damage in the
event of a collision; however, the SBS has limitations. Do not rely solely on the
SBS . Always keep your eyes on the road.

Distance Recognition Support System
DISTANCE RECOGNITION SUPPORT SYSTEM (DRSS)
(if equipped)
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) measures the distance
between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar sensor (front) while
the vehicle speed is 19 mph or faster and indicates a recommended distance
to maintain between the vehicles. Furthermore, if your vehicle approaches a
vehicle ahead more closely than the appropriate distance to maintain between
the vehicles, the vehicle ahead indication in the display is illuminated\
in white
to advise the driver to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.

Blind Spot Monitoring SystemRear Cross Traffic Alert
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA) (if equipped)
The RCTA is designed to alert the driver of oncoming traffic when
backing out of a parking spot. RCTA is active when your vehicle is in
reverse and your vehicle speed is 0 to 8 mph.
When BSM sensors detect an object moving 3 to 18 mph, RCTA will notify
the driver with indicators and sound:
•
Rear

View Monitor and outside mirror flashing indications.
•
Bee

p sound (same as BSM).
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
Object Detected Object Detected
WARNING: RCTA is only a supplementary system to help aid when backing up;
however, R C TA has limitations. The system does not detect all vehicles, especially
a motorcycle . Do not rely solely on the R C TA . Relying solely on the R C TA may
cause an unexpected accident resulting in serious injury. Always back up slowly.

WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER CONTROL LEVER
AUTO: The rain sensor senses the amount of rainfall and turns the wipers on
or off. Rotating the inner ring clockwise (away from you) creates greater wiper
sensitivity and makes the wipers move faster. The “+” position increases wiper
speed. Rotating the inner ring counterclockwise (toward you) makes the wipers
move slower. The “-” position decreases wiper speed.
NOTE: Vehicles not equipped with AUTO wipers will have INT wipers. Set
the lever to INT and choose an interval timing by rotating the ring between
fast and slow.
