qDisplay Indication
For 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.
qWarning Light
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page
4-22.
qBrake Pad Wear Indicator
When the disc brake pads become worn,
the built-in wear indicators contact the
disc plates. This causes a screeching noise
to warn that the pads should be replaced.
When you hear this noise, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Do not drive with worn disc pads:
Driving with worn disc pads is
dangerous. The brakes could fail and
cause a serious accident. As soon as
you hear a screeching noise consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
qBrake Assist
During emergency braking situations
when it is necessary to depress the brake
pedal with greater force, the brake assist
system provides braking assistance, thus
enhancing braking performance.
When the brake pedal is depressed hard or
depressed more quickly, the brakes apply
more firmly.
NOTE
lWhen the brake pedal is depressed hard or
depressed more quickly, the pedal will feel
softer but the brakes will apply more firmly.
This is a normal effect of the brake assist
operation and does not indicate a
malfunction.
lWhen the brake pedal is depressed hard or
depressed more quickly, a motor/pump
operation noise may be heard. This is a
normal effect of the brake assist and does
not indicate a malfunction.
lThe brake assist equipment does not
supersede the functionality of the vehicle's
main braking system.

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.
Ø Always 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.
Ø The 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 it's 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.

decreasing while the SET - switch is pressed
and held (except when the accelerator
pedal is depressed).
lOn a steep grade, the vehicle may
momentarily slow down while ascending,
or speed up while descending.
lCruise control will cancel if the vehicle
speed decreases below 21 km/h (13 mph)
when cruise is activated, such as when
climbing a steep grade.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
lThe Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all four tires.
If the air pressure of one or more tires is too low, the system warns the driver by
indicating the tire pressure monitoring system warning light in the instrument cluster
(the warning is also indicated in the display on the type A
*1instrument cluster) and
operating a beep sound. The system monitors the tire pressures indirectly using the data
sent from the ABS wheel speed sensors.
To allow the system to operate correctly, the system needs to be initialized with the
specified tire pressure (value on the tire pressure label). Follow the procedure and
perform the initialization.
*1 Refer to Type A on page 4-22.
lFor vehicles with the type A*1instrument cluster, check the vehicle condition or have
the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer according to the indication.
*1 Refer to Type A on page 4-22.
lA system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-22.

Rear View Monitorí
The rear view monitor provides visual images of the rear of the vehicle when reversing.
WARNING
Always drive carefully confirming the safety of the rear and the surrounding
conditions by looking directly with your eyes:Reversing the vehicle by only looking at the screen is dangerous as it may cause an
accident or a collision with an object. The rear view monitor is only a visual assist
device when reversing the vehicle. The images on the screen may be different from
the actual conditions.
CAUTION
ØDo not use the rear view monitor under the following conditions: Using the rear
view monitor under the following conditions is dangerous and could result in
injury or vehicle damage or both.
ØIcy or snow-covered roads.
ØTire chains or a temporary spare tire is installed.
ØThe liftgate is not fully closed.
ØThe vehicle is on a road incline.
Ø When the display is cold, images may course across the monitor or the screen and
may be dimmer than usual, which could cause difficulty in confirming the
surrounding conditions of the vehicle. Always drive carefully confirming the safety
of the rear and the surrounding conditions by looking directly with your eyes.
Ø Do not apply excessive force to the camera. The camera position and angle may
deviate.
Ø Do not disassemble, modify, or remove it as it may no longer be waterproof.
Ø The camera cover is made of plastic. Do not apply degreasing agents, organic
solvents, wax, or glass coating agents to the camera cover. If any are spilled on
the cover, wipe off with a soft cloth immediately.
Ø Do not rub the cover excessively, or polish it using an abrasive compound or a
hard brush. The cover may be damaged affecting the image.
NOTE
lIf water, snow, or mud is stuck on the camera lens, wipe it off using a soft cloth. If it cannot be
wiped off, use a mild detergent.
lIf the camera temperature changes rapidly (Hot to cold, cold to hot), the rear view monitor may
not operate correctly.
lWhen replacing the tires, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer. Replacing the tires could result in
deviation of the guide lines which appear on the display.
lIf the vehicle's front, side, or rear has been involved in a collision, the alignment of the rear view
parking camera (location, installation angle) may have deviated. Always consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer to have the vehicle inspected.
