CAUTION
Do not modify the suspension. If the vehicle height or the damping force of the
suspensions is changed, the LDWS may not operate correctly.
NOTE
y If your vehicle deviates from its traffi c lane, the LDWS operates (warning sound and
indicator light). Steer the vehicle adequately to drive the vehicle to the center of the lane.
y When the turn signal lever is operated for a lane change, the LDWS warning is
automatically canceled. The LDWS warning becomes operable when the turn signal lever
is returned and the system detects the white or yellow lines.
y If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white or yellow line, the system determines that the driver is
making a lane change and the LDWS warning is automatically canceled.
y The LDWS may not operate during the period immediately after the vehicle has deviated
from its lane and the LDWS has operated, or the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly
within a short period of time.
y The LDWS does not operate if it does not detect the white or yellow lines of the traffi c
lane.

Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) *
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 30 km/h
or faster (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
active driving display is fl ashed to advise the driver to keep a safer distance from the vehicle
ahead.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) and always
drive carefully:
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) provides advice for safer driving and
notifi es the driver of a recommended, safer distance to maintain with a vehicle ahead.
The ability to detect a vehicle ahead is limited depending on the type of vehicle ahead,
the weather conditions, and the traffi c conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator and brake
pedals are not operated correctly it could lead to 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.
NOTE
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) operates when all of the following
conditions are met:
y The ignition is switched ON.
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) is on.
y The selector lever is in a position other than reverse (R).
y The vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19 mph or faster).
y The objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles.
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) may also operate in the presence of
motorcycles and bicycles.
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) may not operate normally under the
following conditions:
y The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) has a malfunction.
y The vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed.
y The system does not operate with the following objects:
y Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.
y Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)

y Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
y If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it
correctly.
y During headway control travel, do not set the system on two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorcycles and bicycles.
y Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system under conditions in which
the close proximity warnings are frequently activated.
y During headway control travel, the system accelerates and decelerates your vehicle in
conjunction with the speed of the vehicle ahead. However, if it is necessary to accelerate
for a lane change or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly causing you to close in on the
vehicle rapidly, accelerate using the accelerator pedal or decelerate using the brake
pedal depending on the conditions.
y While the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is in use, it does not cancel
even if the selector lever is operated and any intended engine braking will not occur. If
deceleration is required, lower the vehicle speed setting or depress the brake pedal.
y The brake lights are illuminated while the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
automatic braking is operating.

Do not rely completely on the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system:
¾ The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) 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.
¾ The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) is a system which operates in response to a
vehicle ahead. The system may not be able to detect or react to two-wheeled vehicles
or pedestrians.
¾ The laser sensor (front) for the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is installed near
the rearview mirror. To assure the correct operation of the Smart City Brake Support
(SCBS), heed the following cautions.
¾
Do not apply stickers to the surface of the windshield near the laser sensor (front)
(including transparent stickers). Otherwise, the laser sensor (front) may not be able
to detect vehicles ahead which could result in an accident.
¾
Do not apply coating agent to the windshield. Otherwise, the laser sensor (front)
may not be able to detect vehicles or obstructions in front which could result in an
accident.
¾
Do not disassemble the laser sensor (front) .
¾
If cracks or damage caused by fl ying gravel or debris is visible near the laser sensor
(front) , stop using the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system immediately and
have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer. If the vehicle continues
to be driven with cracks or scratch marks left on the windshield near the laser sensor
(front) , the system may operate unnecessarily and cause an unexpected accident.
Refer to Stopping The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation on page
4-108 .
¾
When replacing the windshield wipers or windshield, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to correctly
detect vehicles ahead. This will result in the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system not
operating normally or mistakenly operating, which could cause a serious accident.
