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 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.
Smart City Brake Support
SBS system can be turned off using Safety Settings in MAZDA CONNECT.

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.

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.

(FSC) installed on the windshield.
• If the vehicle deviates from its lane
at speeds above 37 mph, the

SM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surroundings,
but is not a complete substitute.
•
The dr

iver is responsible for ensuring safe lane changes and other maneuvers.
•
Alw

vehicle’s surroundings.
•

indicators. To manually turn the BSM system off, push the BSM
OFF switch on the dash. The BSM OFF indicator will illuminate
in the instrument cluster when the BSM system is off. The BSM
system will retain the last setting before the ignition was turned off.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM (if equipped)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.
• If your vehicle speed is about 6.2 mph or more, the BSM will
war
n you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the
BSM warning lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
•
If yo

u 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 s

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.

TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION SYSTEM (TSR)
The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) helps prevent the driver from

g.
When vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed in the Active \
Driving
Display AD-D, the system notifies the driver with an indication in the\
AD-D and a
warning sound.
The (TSR) displays the speed limit (including auxiliary signs), do n\
ot enter, and
traffic stop signs.
Traffic Signs
NOTE:• The Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) is not supported in some countries
or regions. For more information, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
• 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
Authorized Mazda Dealer for details.
