NOTE
  If you have set the lane departure warning sound to the beep sound/rumble sound *1
setting, the warning sound may not be heard depending on the surrounding noise
conditions.
   If you have set the lane departure warning system to the steering wheel vibrations setting,
the vibration may not be felt depending on the road surface conditions.
  When the setting for the steering operation assist is changed to operati\
onal, the warnings
can be set to activate/not activate. (When the setting for the steering\
operation assist is
changed to non-operational, the warnings cannot be set to not activate.)\
 Refer to Setting Change (Personalization Features) on page 9-11 .  The Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) can be
changed to the following settings regardless of whether the steering operation assist has
been set to operational/non-operational. Always check the setting status when driving the
vehicle and make setting changes if necessary.
 Refer to Setting Change (Personalization Features) on page 9-11 .   Steering wheel vibration: Strong/weak  Warning sound volume  Types of warnings (steering wheel vibration/beep sound/rumble sound *1 )

*1 A rumble strip is a series of grooves in the road pavement surface positioned at speci fi c
intervals, and when the vehicle passes over it a vibration and rumble so\
und is produced
which alerts the driver that the vehicle is departing from the lane.
The rumble sound is a reproduction of the sound which occurs when a vehicle passes over a rumble strip.

Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) *
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system alerts the driver of a possible collision using
an indication in the display and a warning sound when the Forward Sensin\
g Camera (FSC)
detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision with a vehicle a\
head is unavoidable
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 op\
erating the brake
control (Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) brake) when the system dete\
rmines that a
collision 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 fi rmly and quickly to
assist. (Brake Assist (Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) brake assist))

WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system:  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.
 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 2-wheeled vehicles or
pedestrians.

CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the system off to prevent a mis-operation:  The vehicle is being towed or when towing another vehicle. The vehicle is on a chassis roller. When driving on rough roads such as in areas of dense grass or off -road.
Refer to Stopping the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system Operation on page 4-152
on how to turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system.

*Some models.
Smart Brake Support (SBS) *
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system alerts the driver of a possible collision using a
display and warning sound if the radar sensor (front) and the Forward \
Sensing Camera
(FSC) determine that there is the possibility of a collision with a ve\
hicle ahead while the
vehicle is being driven at about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster).\
Furthermore, if the
radar sensor (front) and the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines\
that a collision is
unavoidable, the automatic brake control is performed to reduce damage i\
n the event of a
collision.
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the brakes are a\
pplied fi rmly and
quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS brake assist))
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Smart Br ake Support (SBS) system and always drive
carefully: The Smart Brake Support (SBS) is designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision,
not avoid an accident. The ability to detect an obstruction is limited depending on the
obstruction, weather conditions, or traffi c conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator pedal
or brake pedal is mistakenly operated it could result in 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.

CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the system off to prevent a mis-operation:  The vehicle is being towed or when towing another vehicle. The vehicle is on a chassis roller. When driving on rough roads such as in areas of dense grass or off -road.

h or
faster (10 mph or faster).
  The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is not operating.   The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system may not operate under the followi\
ng conditions:   If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly and it comes close to a vehicle ah\
ead.  The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.  The accelerator pedal is depressed.  The brake pedal is depressed.  The steering wheel is being operated.  The selector lever is being operated.  The turn signal is being used.  When the vehicle ahead is not equipped with taillights or the taillights\
are turned off.  When warnings and messages, such as a dirty windshield, related to the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) are being displayed in the multi-information display.
  Although the objects which activate the system are four-wheeled vehicles, the radar
sensor (front) could detect the following objects, determine them to be an obstru\
ction, and
operate the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system.
  Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve (including guardrails and snow banks).  A vehicle appears in the opposite lane while cornering or rounding a curve.  When crossing a narrow bridge.  When passing under a low gate or through a tunnel or narrow gate.  When entering an underground parking area.  Metal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road.  If you suddenly come close to a vehicle ahead.  When driving in areas where there is high grass or forage.  Two-wheeled vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycles.  Pedestrians or non-metallic objects such as standing trees.   When the system operates, the user is noti fi ed by the multi-information display.   The Smart Brake Support (SBS) warning indication (amber) turns on wh\
en the system has
a malfunction.

*Some models.
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) *
Your vehicle is equipped with a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). The Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) is positioned near the rearview mirror and used by the fo\
llowing systems.
  High Beam Control System (HBC)  Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)  Traffi c Sign Recognition System (TSR)  Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)  Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go\
function)  Smart Brake Support (SBS)

Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)

The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of th\
e vehicle while
traveling at night and detects traf fi c lanes. The distance in which the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) can detect objects varies depending on the surrounding co\
nditions.
WARNING
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 system not operating normally or mistakenly
operating, which could cause a serious accident.

CAUTION
 Do not apply accessories, stickers or fi lm to the windshield near the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
 If the area in front of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens is obstructed, it will cause the system to not operate correctly. Consequently, each system may not operate normally
which could lead to an unexpected accident.
 Do not disassemble or modify the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). Disassembly or modifi cation of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) will cause a malfunction or mistaken operation. Consequently, each system may not operate normally which could
lead to an unexpected accident.
