Rear Cross Traf¿ c Alert (RCTA) operation
1. The Rear Cross Traf¿ c Alert (RCTA) system operates when the shift lever (manual
transaxle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) is shifted to the reverse (R) position.
2. If there is the possibility of a collision with an approaching vehicle, the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights À ashes and the warning beep is activated
simultaneously.
(With rear view monitor)
The Rear Cross Traf¿ c Alert (RCTA) warning indication in the rearview monitor also
synchronizes with the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light on the door
mirrors.


WARNING
Always check the surrounding area visually before actually putting the vehicle in
reverse:
The system is only designed to assist you in checking for vehicles at the rear when
putting the vehicle in reverse. Due to certain limitations with the operation of this
system, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights may not À ash or it
might be delayed even though a vehicle is behind your vehicle. Always make it your
responsibility as a driver to check the rear.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
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.

When Driving
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
CAUTION
  Each tyre, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold
and inÀ ated to the inÀ ation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tyre inÀ ation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tyre inÀ ation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tyre inÀ ation pressure for those tyres.)
 As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tyre pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre pressure telltale when one or
more of your tyres is signi¿ cantly under-inÀ ated. Accordingly, when the low tyre
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tyres as soon as possible,
and inÀ ate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a signi¿ cantly under-inÀ ated tyre
causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure. Under-inÀ ation also reduces
fuel ef¿ ciency and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping
ability.
 Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tyre maintenance, and it is the
driver's responsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure, even if under-inÀ ation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tyre pressure telltale.
 Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
 The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tyre pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will À ash for approximately
one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tyres and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
  To avoid false readings, the system samples for a little while before indicating a
problem. As a result it will not instantaneously register a rapid tyre deÀ ation or blow
out.
