Smart Brake Support(SBS)
*
The SBS system alert s 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 i s 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 (fr ont) and the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) determines that a
collision is unavoidable, the automatic
brake control is p erformed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
In addition, w hen the driver depresses the
brake pedal, the brake s are applied firmly
and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS
brake assist))
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the SBS system
and always drive carefully:
The 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.
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.
NOTE
The SBS system operates when all of the
following conditions are met:
The ignition is switched ON.
The SBS system is on.
The vehicle speed is about 15 km/h or
faster (10 mph or faster).
The relative speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead is about
15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster).
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
is not operating.
The SBS system may not operate under
the following conditions:
If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly
and it comes close to a vehicle ahead.
The vehicle is driven at the same
speed as the vehicle ahead.
The accelerator pedal is depressed.
The brake pedal is depressed.
The steering wheel is being operated.
The selector lever is being operated.
The turn signal is being used.
When the vehicle ahead is not
equipped with taillights or the
taillights are turned off.

When warnings and messages, such
as a dirty windshield, related to the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) are
being displayed in the
multi-information display.
Although the objects which activate the
system are four-wheeled vehicles, the
radar sensor (front) could detect the
following objects, determine them to be
an obstruction, and operate the SBS
system.
Objects on the road at the entrance to
a curve (including guardrails and
snow banks).
A vehicle appears in the opposite lane
while cornering or rounding a curve.
When crossing a narrow bridge.
When passing under a low gate or
through a tunnel or narrow gate.
When entering an underground
parking area.
Metal objects, bumps, or protruding
objects on the road.
If you suddenly come close to a
vehicle ahead.
When driving in areas where there is
high grass or forage.
Two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorbikes or bicycles.
Pedestrians or non-metallic objects
such as standing trees.
When the system operates, the user is
notified by the multi-information
display.
If there is a problem with the SBS
system, a message is displayed in the
multi-information display. Check the
center display to ver ify the problem and
then have your vehicle inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Refer to Message Indicated on Display
on page 7-43.
▼ 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 and the
active driving display.
▼Stopping The Smart Brake Support
(SBS) System Operation
The SBS system can be temporarily
deactivated.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda
Connect Owner's Manual.
When the SBS system is turned off, the
SBS OFF indicator light turns on.
When the engine is restarted, the system
becomes operational.
NOTE
If the SBS system operation is turned off,
the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
system operation is turned off
simultaneously.

360° View Monitor*
The 360° View Monitor consists of the following functions which assist the driver in
checking the area surrounding the vehicle using various indicat ions in the center display and
a warning sound while the vehicle is being driven at low speeds or while parking.
To p v i e w
The top view displays an image of the vehicle from directly abo ve on the center display
by combining the images taken fro m the 4 cameras set on all sides of the vehicle. The top
view displays on the right side of the screen when the front vi ew or rear view screen is
being displayed. The top view assists the driver in checking th e area surrounding the
vehicle when the vehicle is m oving forward or in reverse.
Front view/front wide view
The image from the front of the vehicle is displayed on the cen ter display.
The view from the fron t assists the driver in checking the fron t of the vehicle by
displaying guide lines on the displayed image taken from the fr ont of the vehicle.
Side view
The images taken from the front left and right sides of the vehicle are displayed on the
center display.
The side view assists the driver in checking the front sides of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed image taken from the front left and right sides of the vehicle.
Rear view/rear wide view
The image from the rear of the vehicle is displayed on the cent er display.
The image from the rear assists t he driver in checking the rear of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed image taken from the rear of the v ehicle.
Parking sensor
If there are any obstructions near the vehicle while the top view/side view is displayed, an
obstruction detection indication on the center display turns on .
The parking sensors use ultrasonic sensors to detect obstructio ns around the vehicle when
the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or p arallel parking, and notifies
the driver of the approximate dis tance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction
using sound and an obstruction detection indication.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-248.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If there is the possibility of a collision with an approaching vehicle while the rear view/
rear wide view is displayed, a warning is displayed on the cent er display.
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) uses radar sensors (rear) t o detect vehicles
approaching from the rear left a nd right sides of the vehicle, and it assists the driver in
checking the rear of the vehicle while reversing by flashing th e Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning lights and ac tivating the warning sound.
Refer to Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) on page 4-146.

WARNING
Always confirm the safety of the area around the vehicle with the mirrors and directly with
your eyes when driving.
The 360°View Monitor is an auxiliary device which assists the driver in checking the safety of
the area around the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and detection range of the sensors are limited. For
example, the areas in black at the front and rear of the vehicle image and the seams where
each of the camera images merge are blind spots where an obstruction may not be visible. In
addition, the extended vehicle width lines and pr ojected vehicle path lines are only to be used
as references, and the images on the scree n may differ from the actual conditions.
