Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)
(Indonesia and Taiwan)
*
The SCBS F system alerts the dri ver of a possible collision using an indication in the
display and a warning sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FS C) detects a vehicle
ahead and determines that a collis ion with a vehicle ahead is u navoidable while the vehicle
is being driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph). In addition, the
system reduces damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) brake) when the system determines that a c ollision is unavoidable
while the vehicle is being driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph). It
may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you is less than about 20 km/h (12 mph). In addition, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal while the system is in the operation range at about 4 to 30 km/h (2
to 18 mph), the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist . (Brake Assist (Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) brake assist))

Do not rely completely on the SCBS F system:
 The SCBS F system is only designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision. Over
reliance on the system leading to the accele rator pedal or brake pedal being mistakenly
operated could result in an accident.
 The SCBS F is a system which operates in resp onse to a vehicle ahead. The system may not
be able to detect or react to 2-wheeled vehicles or pedestrians.

Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R)*
The SCBS R is a system which is designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision by
operating the brake control (SCB S brake) when the system’s ultrasonic 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.
Reverse Ultrasonic sensor (rear)
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the SCBS R system:

The SCBS R system is only designed to red uce damage in the event of a collision. Over
reliance on the system leading to the accele rator pedal or brake pedal being mistakenly
operated could result in an accident.
 To assure the correct operation of the SCBS R, heed the following cautions.
 Do not apply a sticker to an ultrasonic sens or (rear) (including transparent stickers).
Otherwise, the ultrasonic sensor (rear) may no t be able to detect vehicles or obstructions
which could result in an accident.
 Do not disassemble an ultrasonic sensor (rear).
 If cracks or damage caused by flying gravel or debris is visible around an ultrasonic
sensor (rear), stop using the SCBS R system immediately and have your vehicle inspected
by an expert repairer, we recommend an Au thorised Mazda Repairer. If the vehicle
continues to be driven with cracks or scratch marks left around an ultrasonic sensor, the
system may operate unnecessarily an d cause an unexpected accident.
Refer to Stopping the Smart City Brake Supp ort [Reverse] (SCBS R) System Operation on
page 4-192.
 Consult 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 SCBS R system may not operate correctly
because it cannot detect obstructions correctly.
When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
*Some models.4-189
2017-6-7 7:51:19 Form No. CX-5 8FY4-EE-17E+L_Edition2

Do not apply a strong force to an ultrasonic sensor (rear):
When washing the vehicle, do not spray highly pressurised water against an ultrasonic sensor
(rear), or rub it strongly. In addition, do not hit the rear bumper forcefully when loading and
unloading cargo Otherwise, the sensors may no t detect obstructions correctly which could
cause the SCBS R system to not operate no rmally, or it could operate unnecessarily.
CAUTION
When driving
off-road in areas where there is grass or foliage, it is recommended that the
SCBS R system be turned off.
 Always use tyres of the specified size and th e same manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern
on all 4 wheels. In addition, do not use tyres wi th significantly different wear patterns on the
same vehicle. Otherwise, the SCBS R system may not operate normally.
 If ice or snow is stuck on the ultrasonic sensors (rear) 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 dr ive carefully and pay attention to the rear of
the vehicle.
NOTE
•The 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 SCBS R may or
may not operate.
•The SCBS R system will operate under the following conditions.
•The engine is running.
•The change lever (manual transaxle vehicle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle
vehicle) is in the R (reverse) position.
•“Reverse Smart City Brake Support Malfunction” is not displayed in the
multi-information display.
•The vehicle speed is between about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph).
•The SCBS R is not turned off.
•The DSC is not malfunctioning.
•The SCBS R operates using ultrasonic sensors (rear) which detect obstructions at the rear
by emitting ultrasonic waves and then receiving the returning waves reflected off the
obstructions.
•In the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions and the
SCBS R may not operate.
•The height of the obstruction is low such as low walls or trucks with low loading
platforms.
When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE

•The height of the obstruction is high such as trucks with high loading platforms.
•The obstruction is small.
•The obstruction is thin such as a signpost.
•The obstruction is positioned away from the centre of the vehicle.
•The surface of the obstruction is not pointed vertically relative to the vehicle.
•The obstruction is soft such as a hanging curtain or snow stuck to a vehicle.
•The obstruction is shaped irregularly.
•The obstruction is extremely close.
•In the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions correctly
and the SCBS R may not operate.
•Something is stuck on the bumper near an ultrasonic sensor (rear).
•The steering wheel is turned sharply, or the brake or accelerator pedal is operated.
•There is another obstruction near one obstruction.
•During inclement weather such as rain, fog and snow.
•High or low humidity.
•High or low temperatures
•Strong winds.
•The path of travel is not flat.
•Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat.
•Objects such as a wireless aerial, fog light , or illuminated number plate is installed
near an ultrasonic sensor (rear).
•The orientation of an ultrasonic sensor (rear) has deviated for reasons such as a
collision.
•The vehicle is affected by other sound waves such as the horn, engine noise, ultrasonic
sensor of another vehicle.
•In the following cases, an ultrasonic sensor (rear) may detect something as a target
obstruction which could cause the SCBS R system to operate.
•Driving on a steep slope.
•Wheel blocks.
•Hanging curtains, gate poles such as at toll gates and railroad crossing.
•When travelling near objects such as foliage, barriers, vehicles, walls, and fences along
a road.
•When driving off-road in areas where there is grass and forage.
•When passing through low gates, narrow gates, car washing machines, and tunnels.
•A towing bar is installed or a trailer is connected.
•(Manual transaxle)
If the vehicle is stopped by the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) operation and the clutch
pedal is not depressed, the engine stops.
•When the system operates, the user is no tified by the multi-information display.
