WARNING
Do not rely on the Smart City Brake Support System (SCBS) as a substitute for safer
driving:
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system cannot compensate for unsafe and
reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too closely), and
driving on slippery roads such as wet, snowy, and icy roads (reduced tyre friction and
road contact because of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.

Do not rely completely on the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system:  
 The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) 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.
  The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) is a system which operates in response to a
vehicle ahead. The system may not be able to detect or react to two-wheeled vehicles
or pedestrians.
  The laser sensor for the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is installed near
the rearview mirror. To assure the correct operation of the Smart City Brake Support
(SCBS), heed the following cautions.
 

 
 Do not apply stickers to the surface of the windscreen near the laser sensor
(including transparent stickers). Otherwise, the laser sensor may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead which could result in an accident.
 

 
 Do not apply coating agent to the windscreen. Otherwise, the laser sensor may
not be able to detect vehicles or obstructions in front which could result in an
accident.
 

 
 Do not disassemble the laser sensor.


 
 If cracks or damage caused by À ying gravel or debris is visible near the laser
sensor, stop using the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system immediately and
have your vehicle inspected by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer. If the vehicle continues to be driven with cracks or scratch marks
left on the windscreen near the laser sensor, the system may operate unnecessarily
and cause an unexpected accident.
  Refer to Stopping The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation on
page 4-160 .
 

 
 When replacing the windscreen wipers or windscreen, consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to correctly
detect vehicles ahead. This will result in the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system
not operating normally or mistakenly operating, which could cause a serious accident.

WARNING
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) when the vehicle is running on a chassis
roller or being towed:
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system to prevent mistaken operation
when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed.
Refer to the Stopping the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation on page
4-160 on how to turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system.
CAUTION
  When 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.
  Always use tyres for all wheels that are of the speci¿ ed size, and the same
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tyres with signi¿ cantly
different wear patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
system may not operate normally.
  The laser sensor includes a function for detecting a soiled windscreen and informing
the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect plastic shopping
bags, ice or snow on the windscreen. In such cases, the system cannot accurately
determine a vehicle ahead and may not be able to operate normally. Always drive
carefully and pay attention to the road ahead.

 The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a near-
infrared laser beam and receiving the beam reÀ ected off the reÀ ector 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:
 


 ReÀ ection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.



 The vehicle ahead is signi¿ cantly dirty.



 Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
