Smart Brake Support(SBS)
*
The 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 vehic le 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 in the event of a collision.
In addition, when the driver depresses the
brake pedal, the brakes are applied firmly
and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS
brake assist))
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the SBS system
and always drive carefully:
The 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 traffic
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.
NOTE
The SBS system operates when all of the
following conditions are met:
The ignition is switched ON.
The SBS system is on.
The vehicle speed is about 15 km/h or
faster (10 mph or faster).
The relative speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead is about
15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster).
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
is not operating.
The SBS system may not operate under
the following conditions:
If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly
and it comes close to a vehicle ahead.
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.

360° View Monitor (Mazda Connect (Type A))*
The 360° View Monitor consists of the following functions which assist the driver in
checking the area surrounding the vehicle using various indications in the center display and
a warning sound while the vehicle is being driven at low speeds or while parking.
To p v i e w
The top view displays an image of the vehicle from directly abo ve on the center display
by combining the images taken from the 4 cameras set on all sid es of the vehicle. The top
view displays on the right side of the screen when the front vi ew or rear view screen is
being displayed. The top view assists the driver in checking th e area surrounding the
vehicle when the vehicle is moving forward or in reverse.
Front view/front wide view
The image from the front of the vehicle is displayed on the cen ter display.
The view from the front assists t he driver in checking the front of the vehicle by
displaying guide lines on the di splayed image taken from the fr ont of the vehicle.
Side view
The images taken from the front left and right sides of the vehicle are displayed on the
center display.
The side view assists the driver in checking the front sides of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed ima ge taken from the front left and right sides of the vehicle.
Rear view/rear wide view
The image from the rear of the vehicle is displayed on the cent er display.
The image from the rear assists the driver in checking the rear of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed ima ge taken from the rear of the vehicle.
Parking sensor
If there are any obstructions nea r the vehicle while the top view/side view is displayed, an
obstruction detection indicatio n on the center display turns on .
The parking sensors use ultrasonic sensors to detect obstructio ns around the vehicle when
the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or p arallel parking, and notifies
the driver of the approximate di stance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction
using sound and an obstruction detection indication.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-260.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If there is the possibility of a collision with an approaching vehicle while the rear view/
rear wide view is displayed, a w arning is displayed on the center display.
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) uses radar sensors (rear) t o detect vehicles
approaching from the rear left and right sides of the vehicle, and it assists the driver in
checking the rear of the vehicle while reversing by flashing th e Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning lights and activating the warning sound.
Refer to Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) on page 4-127.

bumper cannot be displayed.
Obstructions above the upper image range of the camera are not displayed.
Under the following conditions, the screen might be difficult to view, however this does
not indicate a problem.
The temperature near the lens is high/low.
Rainy conditions, water droplets on the camera, or high humidity.
Mud or foreign matter near the camera.
Extremely bright light such as sunlight or headlights hitting the camera lens directly.
Because the 360°View Monitor camera uses a special lens, the distance displayed on the
screen differs from the actual distance.
Obstructions displayed on the screen may appear differently than in actuality.
(Obstructions may appear fallen, larger, or longer than they actually are.)
Do not apply stickers to a camera or the area around it. In addition, do not install
accessories or an illuminated number/character license plate to the area around a
camera. Otherwise, the camera may not correctly display the surrounding conditions.

ehicle path line function
CAUTION
The front of the vehicle swings out wide wh en turning the steering wheel while reversing.
Maintain sufficient distance between the vehicle and an obstruction.
 The parking sensor detection range has limitat ions. For example, obstructions closing in
from the side and objects short in height ma y not be detected. Always confirm the safety
around the vehicle visually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sensor obstru ction detection indication and warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-260.
NOTE
Because there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen, such as
indicated in the following, and the actual conditions when parking, always check the
safety at the rear of the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.
Even though the back end of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the screen and
distance guide lines appear parallel, they may not actually be parallel.
When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking space, even
though the division line and the vehicle wi dth guide line appear parallel, they may not
actually be parallel.
The following shows an example of vehicle parking with the steering wheel turned to the
left while backing up the vehicle. When backing into a parking space from the opposite
direction, the steering operation is reversed.

ace on Screen and Actual Road Surface
There might be some margin of err or between the road surface appearing on the screen and
the actual road surface. A margi n of error in the perceived distance could lead to an
accident, therefore be aware of the following conditions which can more easily produce
errors in the perceived distance.

The vehicle tilts due to weight of passengers and cargo.
If the vehicle is tilted, obstructions picked up by a camera ca n appear farther or closer than
the actual distance from the vehicle.
