NOTElThe Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is deliberately
performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
lThe Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following conditions.lThe engine is running.l“SCBS Forward malfunction”is not displayed in the multi-information display.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 DSC is not malfunctioning.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 and vehicles with an extremely low or 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.lIf there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.lWhen driving on continuously curving roads, and entering and exiting exits.lElongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers the laser sensor.lExhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water vapor rising from manholes and
grating, and water splashed into the air.
lWhen towing a malfunctioning vehicle.lWhen driving with tires having significantly different wear.lIn the following cases, the laser sensor may inadvertently determine 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 equipped with a bar.lWhen passing under a vinyl curtain or flag.lPlastic objects such as pylons.lTwo-wheeled vehicles, pedestrians, animals or standing trees.lWhen the system operates, the user is notified by the flashing Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
warning indication and the multi-information display.

Radar Sensor (Front)í
Your vehicle is equipped with a radar sensor (front).
The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).
lMazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)lDistance Recognition Support System (DRSS)lSmart Brake Support (SBS)
The radar sensor (front) functions by detecting the radio waves reflected off a vehicle
ahead or an obstruction sent from the radar sensor.
The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the front emblem.
Radar Sensor (Front)
If“Front radar blocked”is displayed in the multi-information display of the instrument
cluster, clean the area around the radar sensor (front).

NOTElUnder the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect vehicles ahead
or obstructions correctly and each system may not operate normally.
lThe rear surface of a vehicle ahead does not reflect radio waves effectively, such as an
unloaded trailer or an automobile with a loading platform covered by a soft top, vehicles with
a hard plastic tailgate, and round-shaped vehicles.
lVehicles ahead with low vehicle height and thus less area for reflecting radio waves.lVisibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead casting off water, snow, or sand from its tires and
onto your windshield.
lThe trunk/luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger seats are
occupied.
lIce, snow, or soiling is on the front surface of the front emblem.lDuring inclement weather such as rain, snow, or sand storms.lWhen driving near facilities or objects emitting strong radio waves.lUnder the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect vehicles ahead
or obstructions.
lThe beginning and end of a curve.lRoads with continuous curves.lNarrow lane roads due to road construction or lane closures.lThe vehicle ahead enters the radar sensor's blind spot.lThe vehicle ahead is running abnormally due to accident or vehicle damage.lRoads with repeated up and down slopeslDriving on poor roads or unpaved roads.lThe distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely short.lA vehicle suddenly comes close such as by cutting into the lane.lTo prevent incorrect operation of the system, use tires of the same specified size, manufacturer,
brand, and tread pattern on all four wheels. In addition, do not use tires with significantly
different wear patterns or tire pressures on the same vehicle (Including the temporary spare tire).
lIf the battery power is weak, the system may not operate correctly.lWhen driving on roads with little traffic and few vehicles ahead or obstructions for the radar
sensor (front) to detect,“Radar blocked”may be temporarily displayed, however, this does not
indicate a problem.

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.
Refer to Tire Inflation Pressure Warning Beep on page 7-36.
