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.

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 16)
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

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.

Blind Spot Monitoring System
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) (if equipped)
The BSM system is designed to assist the driver by monitoring blind spots
on both sides of the vehicle to the rear in certain situations such as when
changing lanes on roads and freeways.
Turning BSM System Off
Turning the BSM system off will turn off both the light
and sound indicators. To manually turn the BSM
system off, push the BSM OFF switch on the dash.
The BSM OFF indicator in the instrument cluster will
turn on to indicate when the BSM system is off. The
BSM system will automatically turn on the next time the vehicle is started.
• If your vehicle speed is 7 mph (11 km/h) or more, the BSM will warn
you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the BSM warning
lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
• If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM warning
light, the system will also warn you with a beep and warning light flash.
• BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas.
The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets dirty,
so keep the rear bumper area clean and free of bumper stickers.
Your Vehicle
Detection Areas
Refer to your
Owner’s Manual for
complete details.
NOTE: • The BSM can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surroundings,
but is not a complete substitute.
• The driver is responsible for ensuring safe lane changes and other maneuvers.
• Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
• The BSM does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about
7 mph (11 km/h).
WARNING: BSM is only a supplementary system to help aid in monitoring blind
spots , however BSM has limitations. The system may not detect all vehicles,
especially a motorcycle. Do not rely solely on the BSM . Relying solely on the BSM
may cause an unexpected accident resulting in death or serious injury. Make sure to
look over your shoulder before changing lanes.

REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA) (if equipped)
The RCTA is designed to alert the driver of oncoming traffic when
backing out of a parking spot. RCTA is active when your vehicle is in
reverse and your vehicle speed is 0 to 6 mph (10 km/h).
When BSM sensors detect an object moving 3 to 18 mph (5 to 30 km/h),
RCTA will notify the driver with indicators and sound:
• Rear View Monitor and outside mirror flashing indications.
• Beep sound (same as BSM).
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
Object Detected Object Detected
WARNING: RCTA is only a supplementary system to help aid when backing up ,
however R C TA has limitations. The system does not detect all vehicles, especially
a motorcycle . Do not rely solely on the R C TA . Relying solely on the R C TA may
cause an unexpected accident resulting in serious injury. Always back up slowly.

NOTE: • If the vehicle is jump started, leave the jumper cables connected until the
warning message is no longer displayed.
• If the vehicle is driven while the warning screen is displayed, a warning sound
will be heard and power steering assist will be limited.
i-ELOOP
i-ELOOP (if equipped)
The Mazda-unique regenerative braking system (i-ELOOP) generates
and stores electrical energy in a capacitor during deceleration. Through
efficient energy regeneration, storage, and usage, fuel economy is
improved. To view i-ELOOP information, select Applications from
the Home screen, then scroll down to Fuel Economy Monitor.
i-ELOOP Pre-Charge Mode
If the capacitor is discharged because of vehicle storage (the vehicle \
is
parked for long periods of time), the i-ELOOP indicator in the instrume\
nt
cluster will flash and a
warning screen appears
on the screen of the
infotainment system.
When this warning screen appears, do not drive the
vehicle. Allow the engine to idle until the warning
screen disappears. This time is needed for normal
generator operation.
