1 This indicator light turns on to remind you that the front passenger’s front/side airbags and seat belt pretensioner will not deploy during a collision. The reason for
this is that the sensor has determined that an adult is not sitting in the front passenger seat.
NOTE: If a smaller adult sits on the front passenger seat, the sensors might detect the adult as being
a child depending on the person’s physique and may deactivate the front passenger’s front/side
airbags and seat belt pretensioner. Always wear your seat belt and secure children in the rear seats in
appropriate child restraints. See the Owner’s Manual for important information on this safety feature.

Tires
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
For your safety, the CX-5 is equipped with TPMS that detects low
tire pressure in one or more tires. If the tire pressure starts getting
low in one or more tires, the system alerts the driver by turning on a
light in the instrument cluster (pp. 33-34) and sounding an alarm.
What to do? Don’t ignore the TPMS warning light. Stop and check your
tire pressure (when tires are cold) and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Properly inflated tires are safer, last longer, and increase fuel economy.
In the following cases, the TPMS must be “initialized” so the system can
operate normally.
• The tire pressure is adjusted (up or down) in one or more tires.
• A tire rotation is performed.
• Any tire or wheel is replaced.
• The vehicle’s battery is disconnected, replaced or completely dead.
Initialization Process (TPMS Warning Light is Illuminated)
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place and firmly apply the parking brake.
2 Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specified
pressure (See tire label located on the driver’s
side door opening) on all four (4) tires.
3 Switch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.
4 Push and hold the TPMS “Set Switch”
(left side of dash) until the TPMS warning light
in the instrument cluster flashes twice and

a beep sound is heard once.
CAUTION: If the TPMS “Set Switch” is pushed without adjusting the tire
pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS
warning light may not turn on, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may turn
on if the tire pressure is normal.
NOTE: Drastic changes in temperature or altitude may cause the TPMS
warning light to turn on.

CLOSE PROXIMITY WARNING
While travelling in headway control, if your vehicle rapidly
closes in on a vehicle ahead because the other driver
applied their brakes suddenly, a warning sound activates
and the BRAKE! warning is indicated in the display. Always
verify the safety of the surrounding area and depress the
brake pedal while keeping a safe distance from the vehicle
ahead. Additionally, always keep a safe distance from the
vehicles behind you. Switching to conventional cruise control function:
When the ON switch is pushed continuously for about 2 seconds while the
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is turned on, the system is
switched to conventional cruise control function.
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) indicator light (green) in the
instrument cluster turns off and “Radar Cruise Control deactivated”
message is displayed in the multi information display at the same time.How to set the distance between vehicles:
The distance between vehicles is set to a shorter distance by pushing th\
e
switch, or a longer distance by pushing the switch. The distance-
between-vehicles can be set to 4 levels.
Distance between vehicles guideline (at 50mph (80km/h))Long (about
164 ft (50m)) Medium (about
131 ft (40m)) Short (about
98 ft (30m)) Extremely
short (about 82 ft (25m))
Display
CAUTION: Do not rely completely on the MRCC system and always
drive carefully obeying the speed limit.
NOTE: The MRCC sometimes will brake your vehicle when passing a very large
vehicle such as semi truck (tractor trailer) due to the sensitivity of the front sensor
system. This is normal. Simply press the accelerator pedal to override the system
and maintain your desired speed.
NOTE: The radar for the MRCC is located behind the Mazda emblem in the grill.
Keep this area clean to avoid the system not working properly.

SMART BRAKE SUPPORT (SBS) (if equipped)
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) is a system which alerts the driver
of a possible collision using an indicator and warning sound in the
instrument cluster while the vehicle is being driven at about 10 mph
(15 km/h) or faster and the system’s radar sensor determines that
your vehicle may hit a vehicle ahead. Furthermore, if the radar sensor
determines that a collision is unavoidable, the automatic brake control
is performed to reduce damage in the event of a collision. In addition,
when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the brakes operate more
quickly to assist the driver.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
Radar sensor Laser sensor
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.
SBS system can be turned off using Safety Settings in MAZDA CONNECT.
(see page 12)
WARNING: SBS is only a supplementary system to reduce damage in the
event of a collision, however the SBS has limitations. Do not rely solely on the
SBS, Always keep your eyes on the road.

Blind Spot Monitoring System
NOTE: Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over
your shoulder before changing lanes:
• The BSM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surroundings,
but is not a complete substitute.
• The driver is responsible for ensuring safe lane changes and other maneuvers.
• Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
• The BSM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about
6.2 mph (10 km/h).
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.
• If your vehicle speed is about 6.2 mph (10 km/h) or more, the BSM
will warn you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the
BSM warning lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
• If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM warning
light, the system will also warn you with a beep and warning light flash.
• BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas.
The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets too
dirty, so keep the rear bumper area clean.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
Turning BSM System Off
Turning the BSM system off will turn off both the light and sound
indicators. To manually turn the BSM system off, push the BSM
OFF switch on the dash. The BSM OFF indicator will illuminate
in the instrument cluster when the BSM system is off. The BSM
system will retain the last setting before the ignition was turned off.
