When Driving
Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) helps prevent the driver from
overlooking traffic signs, and provides support for safer driving by displaying traffic
signs on the active driving display which are recognised by the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) or recorded in the navigation system while the vehicle is driven.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the active driving
display while the vehicle is driven, the system notifies the driver using the
indication in the active driving display and a warning sound.
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) displays the speed limit (including
auxiliary signs) and do not enter signs.
Always check the traffic signs visually while driving.
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) helps prevent the driver from
overlooking traffic signs and provides support for safer driving. Depending on
the weather conditions or problems with traffic signs, a traffic sign may not be
recognised or a traffic sign different from the actual traffic sign may be
displayed. Always make it your responsibility as a driver to check the traffic
signs.
WARNING
Otherwise, it could result in an unexpected accident.
NOTE
• The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) is not supported in some
countries or regions. For information concerning the supported countries or
regions, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
• The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) operates only if the navigation
system SD card (Mazda genuine) is inserted in the SD card slot. Consult an
expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer for details.

When Driving
Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)/ Smart City Brake
Support [Forward] (SCBS F)/ Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R)
Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) (Except Indonesia,
Malaysia, and Taiwan)
The Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) is a system which is designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the
system’s ultrasonic sensors detect an obstruction at the rear of the vehicle while driving at a
speed of about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph) and the system determines that a collision is
unavoidable. In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system is in
the operation range at a vehicle speed of about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph), the brakes are
applied firmly and quickly to provide assistance. (Brake Assist (SCBS brake assist))
Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R)
The Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) alerts the driver of a possible
collision using the display and a warning sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects
a vehicle ahead or pedestrian and determines that a collision with the object is unavoidable while
the vehicle is driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph) if the object is a
vehicle ahead and about 10 to 80 km/h (6.2 to 50 mph) if the object is a pedestrian.
Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F) (Indonesia, Malaysia, and Taiwan)
The Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F) system alerts the driver of a possible
collision using an indication in the display and a warning sound when the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision with a
vehicle ahead is unavoidable while the vehicle is being driven at a vehicle speed of about
4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph). In addition, the system reduces damage in the event of a
collision by operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the system determines that a
collision is unavoidable while the vehicle is being driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to
30 km/h (2 to 18 mph). It may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed
between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you is less than about 20 km/h (12 mph).
• The 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.
• (Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)) Do not rely completely on the system:
WARNING
The Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) system operates
in response to a vehicle ahead or a pedestrian. The system does not operate
in response to obstructions such as a wall, 2-wheeled vehicles, or animals.
• (Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F))
The Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced 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.
