CAUTION
ØWhen driving off-road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recommended
that the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off.
Ø Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specified size, and the same
manufacture, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with
significantly different wear patterns on the same vehicle. Do not use tires with
significantly different wear patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) system may not operate normally.
Ø The laser sensor includes a function for detecting a soiled windshield and
informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect
plastic shopping bags, ice or snow on the windshield. In such cases, the system
cannot accurately determine a vehicle or obstruction ahead and may not be able
to operate normally. Always drive carefully and pay attention to the road ahead.
NOTE
lThe Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following conditions.lThe engine is running.lThe display in the instrument cluster does not indicate that the system requires inspection or it
cannot be used.
lThe vehicle speed is between about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph).lThe Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.lThe TCS operation is not turned off using the TCS OFF switch.lThe DSC is not malfunctioning.lThe driver is not deliberately performing driving operations (accelerator pedal, steering
wheel, and braking operations).
lThe Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a near-infrared laser
beam and receiving the beam reflected off the reflector of the vehicle ahead, and then using it for
the measurement. Consequently, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) may not operate under the
following conditions:
lReflection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.lThe vehicle ahead is significantly dirty.lUnder bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.lThe window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used when it's raining.lThe windshield is dirty.lThe steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is accelerated rapidly and
comes close to the vehicle ahead.
lTrucks with low loading platforms, vehicles traveling at extremely low speeds, and vehicles
with a high profile.
lVehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.

lIf the vehicle is driven on a road with less traffic and few vehicles that the radar sensors can
detect, the system may pause (The BSM OFF indicator light in the instrument panel flashes).
However, it does not indicate a malfunction.
lThe following conditions may affect the visibility of the BSM warning lights on the outside mirror,
making it difficult to confirm the illumination of the lights:
lIce or snow adheres to the surface of the outside mirrors.lThe door window glass is tinted.
qBSM Warning Light
The blind spot monitoring system alerts the driver to the presence of another vehicle in an
adjacent lane using the BSM warning lights and the warning beep while the system is
operational.
BSM warning light
Equipped on the left and right door mirrors.
This warning light illuminates for a few seconds when the ignition is switched ON.
If the BSM system detects a vehicle in the detection area while the vehicle is driven at a
speed of about 32 km/h (20 mph) or more, the BSM warning light illuminates on the side
of the vehicle where the rear on-coming vehicle is detected.
NOTE
lIf ice or snow adhere to the outer mirror surface, the BSM warning light may not be visible.lIf the door window glass is tinted, it may affect the visibility of the BSM warning light, making it
difficult to confirm the illumination of the light.

Operating Tips
lOperate the climate control system
with the engine running.
lTo prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
dial on for a long period of time with
the ignition switched ON when the
engine is not running.
lClear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system efficiency.
lUse the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
lThe recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while
in a traffic jam, or when you would like
to shut off outside air for quick cooling
of the interior.
lUse the outside air mode for ventilation
or windshield defrosting.
lIf the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the climate control system.
lRun the air conditioner about 10
minutes at least once a month to keep
internal parts lubricated.
lHave the air conditioner checked
before the weather gets hot. Lack of
refrigerant may make the air
conditioner less efficient.
The refrigerant specifications are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment.
Check the label before refilling the
refrigerant. If the wrong type of
refrigerant is used, it could result in a
serious malfunction of the air
conditioner.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
