Do not use the HomeLink system with any
garage door opener that lacks the safety
stop and reverse feature:
Using the HomeLink system with any
garage door opener that lacks the safety
stop and reverse feature as required by
federal safety standards is dangerous. (This
includes garage doors manufactured
before April 1, 1982.)
Using these garage door openers can
increase the risk of serious injury or death.

Always check the areas surrounding
garage doors and gates for people or
obstructions before programming or
during operation of the HomeLink system:
Programming or operating the HomeLink
system without verifying the safety of areas
surrounding garage doors and gates is
dangerous and could result in an
unexpected accident and serious injury if
someone were to be hit.
NOTE
The programming will not be erased even
if the battery is disconnected.
▼Pre-programming
the HomeLink
System
NOTE
It is recommended that a new battery be
placed in the hand-held transmitter of the
device being programmed to HomeLink
for quicker training and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
Verify that there is a remote control
transmitter available for the device you
would like to program.
▼ Programming the HomeLink
System
The HomeLink system provides 3 buttons
which can be individually selected and
programmed using the transmitters for
current, on-market devices as follows:
1. Press and release the HomeLink button
you would like to program. The
indicator light flashes slowly in amber
when the button is pressed.

2. Hold the hand-held transmitter 2.5 to 7.5 cm (1 to 3 in) away from the
HomeLink button you would like to
program while keeping the indicator
light in view.
NOTE
Depending on the hand-held
transmitter, it may be easier to do the
programming by holding it 15 to 20 cm
(6 to 7.8 in) away from the HomeLink
button.
3. Press the hand-hel d transmitter button
continuously until the indicator light
changes from amber (flashing) to
green (on/flashing).

Some gate operators and garage door
openers may require you to replace
this Programming Step 3 with
procedures noted in the “Gate
Operator/Canadian Programming”
section.
4. Press the HomeLink button again to check if the programming has been
completed.
If the indicator light remains on in
green, the programming is complete
and the device becomes operational.
If the indicator light flashes rapidly

lane.
Directly after the BSM system becomes operable by changing the setting.
If the road width is extremely narrow, vehicles two lanes over may be detected. The
detection area of the radar sensors (rear) is set according to the road width of
expressways.
The BSM warning indicator light may turn on and the vehicle detection screen may be
displayed in the display in reaction to stationary objects (guardrails, tunnels, sidewalls,
and parked vehicles) on the road or the roadside.
Objects such as guardrails and concrete walls
running alongside the vehicle. Places where the width between guardrails or
walls on each side of the vehicle narrows.
The walls at the entrance and exits of tunnels
and turnouts.
A BSM warning indicator light may flash or the warning beep may be activated several
times when making a turn at a city intersection.
Turn off the BSM while pulling a trailer or while an accessory such as a bicycle carrier is
installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwis
e, the radar’s radio waves will be blocked
causing the system to not operate normally.

warning indicator lights equipped on the door mirrors.
Snow or ice is adhering to the door mirrors.
The front door glass is fogged or covered in snow, frost or dirt.
The radar sensors (rear) of the BSM may be regulated under the radio wave related laws
of the country where the vehicle is driven. The sensors in this system are approved for use
in the U.S.A. (including territories), Canada, and Mexico. If a vehicle with a BSM is
driven in a country other than the U.S.A., Canada, or Mexico, the system has to be turned
off by changing the setting on the center display.
The system switches to the Rear Cross Traf fic Alert (RCTA) function when the selector
lever is shifted to th e reverse (R) position.

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 (SCBS 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)
WARNING
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 Authorized Mazda Dealer. If the vehi cle 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 City Brake Supp ort [Reverse] (SCBS R) System Operation on
page 4-182.
 Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer 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.

a curve (including guardrails and
snow banks).
A vehicle appears in the opposite lane
while cornering or rounding a curve.

Radar Sensor (Front)*
Your vehicle is equipped with a radar sensor (front).
The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function)
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The radar sensor (front) functions by detecting the radio waves reflected off a vehicle ahead
or an obstruction sent from the radar sensor.
The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the front emblem.
Radar sensor (front)
If “Front Radar Sensor Blocked” is displa yed in the multi-information display of the
instrument cluster, clean the area around the radar sensor (front).
CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to assu re correct operation of each system.
 Do not adhere stickers (including transparent stickers) to the surface of the radiator grille
and front emblem in and around the radar sensor (front), and do not replace the radiator
grille and front emblem with any product that is not a genuine product designed for use
with the radar sensor (front).
 The radar sensor (front) includes a function for detecting soiling of the radar sensor's front
surface and informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may require
time to detect or it may not detect plastic shopping bags, ice or snow. If this occurs, the
system may not operate correctly, therefore al ways keep the radar sensor (front) clean.
 Do not install a grille guard.
 If the front part of the vehicle has been dama ged in a vehicle accident, the position of the
radar sensor (front) may have moved. Stop the system immediately and always have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
