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 two-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 4-143 .
 

 
 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.

Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) *
Your vehicle is equipped with a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). The Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) is positioned near the rearview mirror and used by the following systems.
 


 High Beam Control System (HBC)



 Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)



 Smart Brake Support (SBS)
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of the vehicle while
travelling at night and detects traffi c lanes. The distance in which the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) can detect objects varies depending on the surrounding conditions.

CAUTION
  Do not apply accessories, stickers or fi lm to the windscreen near the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC).
 If the area in front of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens is obstructed, it will
cause the system to not operate correctly. Consequently, each system may not operate
normally which could lead to an unexpected accident.
  Do not disassemble or modify the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).  Disassembly or modifi cation of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) will cause a
malfunction or mistaken operation. Consequently, each system may not operate
normally which could lead to an unexpected accident.
  Heed the following cautions to assure the correct operation of the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC).
 


 The direction of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) has been fi nely adjusted,
therefore do not change the installation position or remove the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC).
 


 Be careful not to scratch the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens or allow it to get
dirty.
 


 Do not remove the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cover.



 Do not place objects on the instrument panel which refl ect light.



 Always keep the windscreen glass around the camera clean by removing dirt or
fogging. Use the windscreen defroster to remove fogging on the windscreen.
 


 Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer regarding
cleaning the interior side of the windscreen around the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC).
 


 Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer before
performing repairs around the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
 


 The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed to the windscreen. Consult an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer for windscreen repair and
replacement.
 


 When performing repairs around the rearview mirror, consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
 


 Do not hit or apply strong force to the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or the area
around it. If strong force is applied, stop using the Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS), the High Beam Control System (HBC), and the Smart Brake Support
(SBS) and consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
 


 The direction in which the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is pointed has been fi nely
adjusted. Do not change the installation position of the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) or remove it. Otherwise, it could result in damage or malfunction.

Laser Sensor (Front) *
Your vehicle is equipped with a laser sensor (front). The laser sensor (front) is positioned
near the rearview mirror and used by the following systems.
 


 Smart Brake Support (SBS)



 Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
Laser sensor (front)
CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to assure correct operation of the system.


 Keep the windscreen clean at all times. 
 Do not apply stickers to the surface of the windscreen (including transparent stickers). 
 If cracks or damage caused by fl ying gravel or debris is visible near the laser sensor
(front), stop using the system immediately and have your vehicle inspected by an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
 See the next page on how to turn off the system. Refer to Personalisation Features on
page 9-13 .
  Do not apply a coating agent to the windscreen. 
 When replacing the windscreen wipers or windscreen, consult an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
  Never remove the sensor. 
 A removed sensor will not meet the conditions for a class 1M laser under the IEC
60825-1 specifi cation and therefore eye safety cannot be assured.

 Do not peer into the sensor using optical instruments with a magnifi cation function
such as magnifying glasses, and microscopic and objective lenses within a distance of
100 mm (3.94 in) from the sensor.

Rear View Monitor
Rear View Monitor Operation
The operation of the rear view monitor when reversing the vehicle varies depending on
the traffi c, road, and vehicle conditions. The amount of steering and the timing also varies
depending on conditions, so confi rm the surrounding conditions directly with your eyes and
steer the vehicle in accordance with the conditions.
Be well aware of the above cautions prior to using the rear view monitor.
NOTE
Images displayed on the monitor from the rear view parking camera are reversed images
(mirror images).
1. Shift the shift lever to R to switch the display to the rear view monitor display.
2. Confi rming the surrounding conditions, reverse the vehicle.
(Display condition) (Vehicle condition)
3. After your vehicle begins entering the parking space, continue backing up slowly so that
the distance between the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking space on the left
and right are roughly equal.
4. Continue to adjust the steering wheel until the vehicle width guide lines are parallel to
the left and right sides of the parking space.
