Adjustable Speed Limiter *
The adjustable speed limiter is a function to prevent the vehicle from being driven at a
vehicle speed faster than a set speed. The vehicle speed is controlled to kept it below the set
speed even if the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The adjustable speed limiter can be set between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 200 km/h (125 mph).
The vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when the vehicle is driven on a down slope,
however, the system notifi es the driver by fl ashing the display and operating a warning
sound.
WARNING
Always turn off the system when changing drivers:
If the driver is changed and the new driver is unaware of the adjustable speed limiter
function, the vehicle may not accelerate when the driver depresses the accelerator
pedal, leading to an accident.
The system consists of the adjustable speed limiter display and the speed limiter switch on
the steering wheel.

WARNING
Do not rely on the Smart City Brake Support System (SCBS) as a substitute for safer
driving:
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system cannot compensate for unsafe and
reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too closely), and
driving on slippery roads such as wet, snowy, and icy roads (reduced tyre friction and
road contact because of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.
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.
  The laser sensor (front) 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.
 

 
 Do not apply stickers to the surface of the windscreen near the laser sensor (front)
(including transparent stickers). Otherwise, the laser sensor (front) may not be
able to detect vehicles ahead which could result in an accident.
 

 
 Do not apply coating agent to the windscreen. Otherwise, the laser sensor (front)
may not be able to detect vehicles or obstructions in front which could result in an
accident.
 

 
 Do not disassemble the laser sensor (front).


 
 If cracks or damage caused by fl ying gravel or debris is visible near the
laser sensor (front), stop using the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system
immediately and have your vehicle inspected by an expert repairer, we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer. If the vehicle continues to be driven with cracks or
scratch marks left on the windscreen near the laser sensor (front), the system may
operate unnecessarily and cause an unexpected accident.
  Refer to Stopping The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation on
page 4-144 .
 

 
 When replacing the windscreen wipers or windscreen, consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
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 Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system
not operating normally or mistakenly operating, which could cause a serious accident.

If Trouble Arises
Flat Tyre
Changing a Flat Tyre
(With spare tyre)
NOTE
If the following occurs while driving, it
could indicate a fl at tyre.


 Steering becomes diffi cult. 
 The vehicle begins to vibrate
excessively.
  The vehicle pulls in one direction.

If you have a fl at tyre, drive slowly to a
level spot that is well off the road and out
of the way of traffi c to change the tyre.
Stopping in traffi c or on the shoulder of a
busy road is dangerous.
WARNING
Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tyre:
Changing a tyre is dangerous if not
done properly. The vehicle can slip off
the jack and seriously injure someone.
No person should place any portion
of their body under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
Never allow anyone inside a vehicle
supported by a jack:
Allowing someone to remain in
a vehicle supported by a jack is
dangerous. The occupant could cause
the vehicle to fall resulting in serious
injury.
NOTE
Make sure the jack is well lubricated
before using it.
1. Park on a level surface off the right-of-
way and fi rmly set the parking brake.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic
transaxle in Park (P), a manual
transaxle in Reverse (R) or 1, and turn
off the engine.
3. Turn on the hazard warning fl asher.
4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle
and away from the vehicle and traffi c.
5. Remove the jack, tool, and spare tyre
(page 7-3 ).
6. Block the wheel diagonally opposite
the fl at tyre. When blocking a wheel,
place a tyre block both in front and
behind the tyre.
NOTE
When blocking a tyre, use rocks or
wood blocks of suffi cient size if possible
to hold the tyre in place.

Removing a Flat Tyre
1. If your vehicle is equipped with a
wheel cover, pry off the wheel cover

between wheel and cover, or removal
will be diffi cult.
2. Loosen the wheel nuts by turning them
anticlockwise one turn each, but do not
remove any wheel nuts until the tyre
has been raised off the ground.
3. Place the jack on the ground. 4. Turn the jack screw in the direction
shown in the fi gure and adjust the jack
