Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
The 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 (front) detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision
with the vehicle ahead is unavoidable.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)”.
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).
Do not rely completely on the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system:
The 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.
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to
correctly detect vehicles ahead resulting in the Smart City Brake Support
(SCBS) system not operating normally or mistakenly operating, which
could cause a serious accident.
WARNING
Do not modify the suspension:
NOTE
The 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:
• Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or
high profile.
• Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
• The window washer is being used or the windscreen wipers are not used when
its raining.
• The windscreen is dirty.
• The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is
accelerated rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
Other details are described in the related text.

When Driving
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
Smart Brake Support (SBS) is a system which alerts the driver of a possible
collision using an indicator and warning sound in the instrument cluster while the
vehicle is being driven at about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster) and the
system's radar sensor (front) determines that your vehicle may hit a vehicle ahead.
Furthermore, if the radar sensor (front) determines that a collision is unavoidable,
the automatic brake control is performed to reduce damage in the event of a
collision.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Smart Brake Support (SBS)”.
Do not rely completely on the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system and always
drive carefully:
Smart Brake Support (SBS) is only designed to reduce damage in the event of a
collision. 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.

Smart Brake Support (SBS)
NOTE
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system may not operate under the following
conditions:
• The brake pedal, steering wheel, selector lever, or a direction indicator is
operated.
Although the objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles, the
radar sensor (front) could detect the following objects, determine them to be an
obstruction, and operate the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system.
• Two-wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles, pedestrians, trees
If there is the possibility of a collision with a
vehicle ahead, the beep sounds continuously
and a warning is indicated in the display.
Collision Warning
Other details are described in the related text.
Other details are described in the related text.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Smart Brake Support (SBS)”.
• If there is the possibility of hitting only a part of a vehicle ahead.
• The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.
• 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, passing through a low gate or tunnel, a
narrow gate, or entering an underground parking area.
• Metal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road.

i-ELOOP System
On conventional vehicles, the kinetic energy that is generated when the vehicle is
decelerated by applying the brakes or during engine braking ends up being discarded
as heat. By utilizing this discarded kinetic energy to generate electricity and use it to
power the vehicle's electrical devices and accessories such as the A/C and audio, fuel
consumption can be reduced. Mazda's system for generating electricity from this
kinetic energy is called the Regenerative Braking System (i-ELOOP).
i-ELOOP Warning Beep
The beep will sound if the vehicle is driven while the
i-ELOOP indicator light is flashing. Make sure that
the i-ELOOP indicator light has stopped flashing
before driving.
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ELOOP” or Section 7,
“Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds”.
