Smart Brake Support
[Rear] (SBS-R)
*
▼Smart Brake Support [Rear]
(SBS-R)
The SBS-R is a system which is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision by operating the
brake control (SBS brake) when the
system’s 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.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the SBS-R
system:
¾The
SBS-R 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.
¾To assure the correct operation of
the
SBS-R, heed the following
cautions.
When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
*Some models.4-177

¾Do not apply a sticker to a rear
ultrasonic sensor and rear camera.
Otherwise, the rear ultrasonic
sensor and rear camera may not be
able to detect vehicles or
obstructions which could result in
an accident.
¾Do not disassemble a rear
ultrasonic sensor and rear camera.
¾If cracks or damage caused by
flying gravel or debris is visible
around a rear ultrasonic sensor and
rear camera, stop using the SBS-R
system immediately and have your
vehicle inspected by an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer). If the
vehicle continues to be driven with
cracks or scratch marks left around
an ultrasonic sensor, the system
may operate unnecessarily and
cause an unexpected accident.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support [Rear] (SBS-R) System
Operation on page 4-180.
¾Consult an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) for rear bumper
replacement.
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is
changed, the SBS-R system may not
operate correctly because it cannot
detect obstructions correctly.
Do not apply a strong force to a rear
ultrasonic sensor and rear camera:When washing the vehicle, do not
spray highly pressurised water against a
rear ultrasonic sensor and rear camera,
or rub it strongly. In addition, do not
hit the rear bumper forcefully when
loading and unloading cargo.
Otherwise, the sensors may not detect
obstructions correctly which could
cause the SBS-R system to not operate
normally, or it could operate
unnecessarily.
CAUTION
¾When driving off-road in areas where
there is grass or foliage, it is
recommended that the SBS-R system
be turned off.
¾Always use tyres of the specified size
and the same manufacturer, brand,
and tread pattern on all 4 wheels. In
addition, do not use tyres with
significantly different wear patterns
on the same vehicle. Otherwise, the
SBS-R system may not operate
normally.
¾If ice or snow is stuck on the rear
ultrasonic sensor and rear camera
they may not be able to detect
obstructions correctly depending on
the conditions. In such cases, the
system may not be able to perform
controls correctly. Always drive
carefully and pay attention to the
rear of the vehicle.
NOTE
xThe vehicle posture changes
depending on the accelerator pedal,
brake pedal and steering wheel
operations, which could make it
difficult for the system to recognise
an obstruction, or it could facilitate
unnecessary detection. In such cases,
the
SBS-R may or may not operate.

xDistance & Speed Alert (DSA)xMazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
xMazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function)
xCruising & Traffic Support (CTS)xSmart Brake Support (SBS)
The front radar sensor functions by
detecting the radio waves reflected off
a vehicle ahead or an obstruction sent
from the radar sensor.
The front radar sensor is mounted
behind the front emblem.
1. Front radar sensor

If “Safety and Driver Support Systems
Temporarily Disabled. Front Radar
Obscured. Drive Safely” is displayed on

Rear Side Radar Sensor*
▼Rear Side Radar Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with rear side
radar sensor. The following systems
also use the rear side radar sensor.
xBlind Spot Monitoring (BSM)xRear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)xSmart Brake Support [Rear Crossing]
(SBS-RC)
The rear side radar sensors emit radio
waves and detect the radio waves
reflected off a vehicle approaching
from the rear or an obstruction.
1. Rear side radar sensor

The rear side radar sensors are installed
inside the rear bumper, one on each
side.
Always keep the surface of the rear
bumper near the rear side radar
sensors clean so that they operate
normally. Also, do not apply items such
as stickers.
Refer to Exterior Care on page 6-54.
CAUTION
If the rear bumper receives a severe
impact, the system may no longer
operate normally. Stop the system
immediately and have the vehicle
inspected at an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer).
NOTE
xThe detection ability of the rear side
radar sensor has limitations. In the
following cases, the detection ability
may lower and the system may not
operate normally.
xThe rear bumper near the rear side
radar sensor has become
deformed.
xSnow, ice or mud adheres to the
rear side radar sensor on the rear
bumper.
xUnder bad weather conditions
such as rain, snow and fog.
xUnder the following conditions, the
rear side radar sensor cannot detect
target objects or it may be
difficult to
detect them.
xSmall motorcycles, bicycles,
pedestrians, animals, shopping
carts, and stationary objects on a
road or a road side.
xVehicle shapes which do not
reflect radar waves well such as
empty trailers with a low vehicle
height and sports cars.
xVehicles are shipped with the
direction of the rear side radar
sensor adjusted for each vehicle to a
loaded vehicle condition so that the
rear side radar sensor detect
approaching vehicles correctly. If the
direction of the rear side radar
sensor has deviated for some reason,
have the vehicle inspected at an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
xFor repairs or replacement of the rear
side radar sensor, or bumper repairs,
paintwork, and replacement near the
radar sensors, consult an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).

when the parking sensor switch is turned on. Have your vehicle inspected by an
expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer).
xThe system may have a malfunction if a message indicating a system malfunction is
displayed. Have your vehicle inspected by an expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
xA message may be displayed even when the ambient temperature is extremely
cold, or mud, ice, or snow adheres to the sensor area. Remove any foreign matter
from the sensor area.
xWhen installing a trailer hitch, consult an expert repairer (we recommend an
