CLOSE PROXIMITY WARNING
While travelling in headway control, if your vehicle rapidly
closes in on a vehicle ahead because the other driver
applied their brakes suddenly, a warning sound activates
and the BRAKE! warning is indicated in the display. Always
verify the safety of the surrounding area and depress the
brake pedal while keeping a safe distance from the vehicle
ahead. Additionally, always keep a safe distance from the
vehicles behind you.
Switching to conventional cruise control function:
When the ON switch is pushed continuously for about 2 seconds while the
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is turned on, the system is
switched to conventional cruise control function.
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) indicator light (green) in the
instrument cluster turns off and “Radar Cruise Control deactivated”
message is displayed in the multi information display at the same time.How to set the distance between vehicles:
The distance between vehicles is set to a shorter distance by pushing th\
e
switch, or a longer distance by pushing the switch. The distance-
between-vehicles can be set to 4 levels.
Distance between vehicles guideline (at 50mph (80km/h))Long (about
164 ft (50m)) Medium (about
131 ft (40m)) Short (about
98 ft (30m)) Extremely
short (about 82 ft (25m))
Display
CAUTION: Do not rely completely on the MRCC system and always
drive carefully obeying the speed limit.
NOTE: The MRCC sometimes will brake your vehicle when passing a very large
vehicle such as semi truck (tractor trailer) due to the sensitivity of the front sensor
system. This is normal. Simply press the accelerator pedal to override the system
and maintain your desired speed.
NOTE: The radar for the MRCC is located behind the Mazda emblem in the grill.
Keep this area clean to avoid the system not working properly.

Smart City Brake Support
SMART CITY BRAKE SUPPORT (SCBS) SYSTEM (if equipped)
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision by automatically applying the vehicle’s
braking system when the system’s laser sensor detects an imminent
collision with the vehicle ahead:
• When your vehicle speed is 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h).
• The system determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable.
• It may be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than 12.5 mph (20 km/h).
• When the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system
is in the operation range at about 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h),
the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist. (SCBS
Automatic Brake is displayed in the Multi-information Display)
• SCBS automatic brake is released approximately 2
seconds after the vehicle comes to a stop.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
SCBS system can be turned off using Safety Settings
in MAZDA CONNECT. (see page 10)

Smart Brake Support
SMART BRAKE SUPPORT (SBS) (if equipped)
The 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 10 mph
(15 km/h) or faster and the system’s radar sensor determines that
your vehicle may hit a vehicle ahead. Furthermore, if the radar sensor
determines that a collision is unavoidable, the automatic brake control
is performed to reduce damage in the event of a collision. In addition,
when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the brakes operate more
quickly to assist the driver.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
Radar sensor Laser sensor
Collision Warning
If there is the possibility of a collision with a vehicle ahead,
the beep sounds continuously and a warning is indicated in
the multi-information display.
SBS system can be turned off using Safety Settings in MAZDA CONNECT.
(see page 10)
WARNING: SBS is only a supplementary system to reduce damage in the
event of a collision, however the SBS has limitations. Do not rely solely on the
SBS, Always keep your eyes on the road.

Lane Departure Warning System
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (LDWS) (if equipped)
The LDWS recognizes painted lane lines on a road using the forward
sensing camera (FSC) installed to the windshield. If the vehicle deviates
from its lane at speeds above 44 mph, the system alerts the driver using
the following indicators.
Use the LDWS switch to
turn system ON or OFF
WARNING: LDWS is only a supplementary
system to warn the driver that the vehicle may be
deviating from its lane, however the LDWS has
limitations. Do not rely solely on the LDWS. Relying
solely on the LDWS may cause an unexpected
accident resulting in death or serious injury. Always
pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is
traveling and drive safely.
NOTE: Any driver input (e.g., turn signal, steering or acceleration) will cancel warning.

Distance Recognition Support System
DISTANCE RECOGNITION SUPPORT SYSTEM (DRSS)
(if equipped)
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) measures the distance
between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar sensor (front)
while the vehicle speed is 19 mph (30 km/h) or faster, and indicates a
recommended distance to maintain between the vehicles. Furthermore, if
your vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely than the appropriate
distance to maintain between the vehicles, the vehicle-ahead indication in
the display is flashed to advise the driver to keep a safe distance from the
vehicle ahead.

and may turn the TPMS warning light on. If the warning light comes on, check the tire pressure
and fill the tires as soon as possible, preferably before moving the vehicle and warming up
the tires. Initialize system (p. 6). Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.
