(Auto cancel of warnings)
When the following operations are
performed, the LAS & LDWS determines
that the driver intends to make a lane
change and the system operation is
canceled automa tically. The LAS &
LDWS resumes automatically after the
operation.
The steering wheel is operated abruptly.
The brake pedal is depressed.
The accelerator pedal is depressed.
(To cancel the automatic sensitivity
cancel function, deselect “Warning
sensitivity” in the personalization
features setting.)
The turn signal lever is operated.
The vehicle crosses a lane line.
▼ System Canceling
When the LAS & LDWS is turned off,
press the LAS & LDWS OFF switch.
The LAS & LDWS OFF indicator light
turns on.
NOTE
In the following cases, the LAS & LDWS
is canceled automatically and the LAS
& LDWS OFF indicator light turns on.
Have your vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
There is a malfunction in the power
steering.
There is a malfunction in the DSC.
There is a malfunction in the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
When the ignition is switched OFF, the
system status before
it was turned off is
maintained. For example, if the ignition
is switched OFF with the lane-keep
system operable, the system will be
operable when the ignition is switched

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.

Parking in an Emergency
The hazard warning lights should always
be used when you stop on or near a
roadway in an emergency.

The hazard warning lights warn other
drivers that your vehicle is a traffic hazard
and that they must take extreme caution
when near it.

Depress the hazard warning flasher and all
the turn signals will flash. The hazard
warning indicator lights in the instrument
cluster flash simultaneously.
NOTE
The turn signals do not work when the
hazard warning lights are on.
Check local regulations about the use of
hazard warning lights while the vehicle
is being towed to verify that it is not in
violation of the law.

Parking brake warning/Warning light inspection
The light illuminates when the parking brake is applied with th
e ignition switched to
START or ON. It turns off when the parking brake is released.
When the light turns on
If the brake system warning light remains turned on even though the parking brake is
released, the brake fluid may be low or there could be a problem with the brake sys‐
tem. Park the vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact a n Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
When the light is flashing
The light flashes if the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) has a mal function.
If the light remains flashing ev en if the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) switch is oper‐
ated, consult an Authorized Maz da Dealer as soon as possible.
WA R N I N G
Do not drive with the brake system warning light illuminated. Contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer to have the brakes inspected as soon as possible:
Driving with the brake system warning light illuminated is dangerous. It indicates that
your brakes may not work at all or that they could completely fail at any time. If this
light remains illuminated, after checking that the parking brake is fully released, have
the brakes inspected immediately.
CAUTION
In addition, the effectiveness of the brakin g may diminish so you may need to depress
the brake pedal more strongly than normal to stop the vehicle.
Electronic Brake Force
Distribution System Wa r n i n g If the electronic brake force di
stribution control unit determines that some compo‐
nents are operating incorrectly , the control unit may illuminate the brake system
warning light and the ABS warni ng light simultaneously. The problem is likely to be
the electronic brake force distribution system.
WA R N I N G
Do not drive with both the ABS warning light and brake warning light illuminated.
Have the vehicle towed to an Authorized Mazda Dealer to have the brakes inspected as
soon as possible:
Driving when the brake system warning li ght and ABS warning light are illuminated
simultaneously is dangerous.
When both lights are illuminate d, the rear wheels could lock more quickly in an emer‐
gency stop than under normal circumstances.
