Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)í
lThe Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision by operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the system's laser
sensor detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision with the vehicle ahead is
unavoidable. It may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than about 15 km/h (9.3 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 (SCBS brake assist))
lFor vehicles with the type A instrument cluster, check the vehicle condition or have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer according to the indication.
lA system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-22.

WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system:
ØThe 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.
ØThe Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) is a system which operates in response to a
vehicle ahead. It does not apply to 2-wheeled vehicles or pedestrians.
ØThe laser sensor for the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is installed near
the rearview mirror. To assure the correct operation of the Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS), heed the following cautions.
ØDo not apply stickers to the surface of the windshield near the laser sensor
(including transparent stickers). Otherwise, the laser sensor may not be able to
detect vehicles or obstructions ahead which could result in an accident.
ØDo not disassemble the laser sensor.
ØIf cracks or damage caused by flying gravel or debris is visible near the laser
sensor, stop using the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system immediately
and have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer. If the vehicle
continues to be driven with cracks or scratch marks left on the windshield near
the laser sensor, the system may operate unnecessarily and cause an
unexpected accident.
Refer to Stopping The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation on
page 4-81.
ØWhen replacing the windshield wipers or windshield, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to correctly
detect vehicles or obstructions ahead. This will result in the Smart City Brake Support
(SCBS) system not operating normally or mistakenly operating, which could cause a
serious accident.
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) when the vehicle is running on a chassis
roller:
ØTurn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system to prevent mistaken
operation when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller.
Refer to Stopping The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation on page
4-81.

CAUTION
ØWhen driving off-road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recommended
that the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off.
ØAlways use tires for all wheels that are of the specified size, and the same
manufacture, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with
significantly different wear patterns on the same vehicle. Do not use tires with
significantly different wear patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) system may not operate normally.
ØThe laser sensor includes a function for detecting a soiled windshield and
informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect
plastic shopping bags, ice or snow on the windshield. In such cases, the system
cannot accurately determine a vehicle or obstruction ahead and may not be able
to operate normally. Always drive carefully and pay attention to the road ahead.
NOTE
lThe Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following conditions.lThe engine is running.lThe display in the instrument cluster does not indicate that the system requires inspection or it
cannot be used.
lThe vehicle speed is between about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph).lThe Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.lThe TCS operation is not turned off using the TCS OFF switch.lThe DSC is not malfunctioning.lThe driver is not deliberately performing driving operations (accelerator pedal, steering
wheel, and braking operations).
lThe Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a near-infrared laser
beam and receiving the beam reflected off the reflector of the vehicle ahead, and then using it for
the measurement. Consequently, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) may not operate under the
following conditions:
lReflection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.lThe vehicle ahead is significantly dirty.lUnder bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.lThe window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used when its raining.lThe windshield is dirty.lThe steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is accelerated rapidly and
comes close to the vehicle ahead.
lTrucks with low loading platforms, vehicles traveling at extremely low speeds, and vehicles
with a high profile.
lVehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.

lUnder the following conditions, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not operate
normally.
lHeavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat.lWhen there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle or obstruction ahead.lWhen driving on continuously curving roads, entering and exiting curves, and unstable driving
due to a vehicle accident or breakdown in a driving lane.
lElongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers the laser sensor.lExhaust gas from the vehicle ahead, sand, snow, and water vapor rising from manholes and
grating, and water splashed into the air.
lIn the following cases, if the laser sensor determines that there is a vehicle ahead and the Smart
City Brake Support (SCBS) system may operate.
lObjects on the road at the entrance to a curve.lVehicles passing in the opposite lane while making a curve.lMetal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road.lWhen passing through a toll gate.lWhen passing under a vinyl curtain or flag.lPlastic objects such as pylons.lTwo-wheeled vehicles, pedestrians, animals or standing trees.lIf the vehicle is driven with some of the tires having significant wear, the system may not operate
correctly. If the tires are returned to a normal state and the master warning light still illuminates,
have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
qLaser Sensor Handling
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) laser sensor is installed at the top of the windshield
near the rearview mirror.

WARNING
As there is the possibility of eye damage occurring from the laser, always heed the
following precautions:
ØNever remove the sensor.
ØA removed sensor will not meet the conditions for a class 1M laser under the IEC
60825-1 specification and therefore eye safety cannot be assured.
ØDo not peer into the sensor using optical instruments with a magnification
function such as magnifying glasses, and microscopic and objective lenses within
a distance of 100 mm (3.94 in) from the sensor.
