Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)
(Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand)
*
The Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F) system alerts the driver of a possible
collision using an indication in the display and a warning sound when the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead
is unavoidable while the vehicle is being driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2
to 50 mph). In addition, the system reduces damage in the event of a collision by operating
the brake control (SCBS brake) when the system determines that a collision is unavoidable
while the vehicle is being driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph). It
may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you is less than about 20 km/h (12 mph). In addition, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal while the system is in the operation range at about 4 to 30 km/h (2
to 18 mph), the brakes are applied ¿ rmly and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SCBS brake
assist))

WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F) system:  
 The Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F) 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 [Forward] (SCBS F) is a system which operates
in response to a vehicle ahead. The system may not be able to detect or react to
2-wheeled vehicles or pedestrians.

*Some models.
Smart Brake Support (SBS) *
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system alerts the driver of a possible collision using a
display and warning sound if the radar sensor (front) and the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) determine that there is the possibility of a collision with a vehicle ahead while the
vehicle is being driven at about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster). Furthermore, if the
radar sensor (front) and the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) 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 are applied ¿ rmly and
quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS brake assist))
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system and always drive
carefully:
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) is designed to reduce damage in the event of
a collision, not avoid an accident. The ability to detect an obstruction is limited
depending on the obstruction, weather conditions, or traf¿ c conditions. Therefore,
if the accelerator pedal or brake pedal is mistakenly operated it could result in an
accident. Always verify the safety of the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal
or accelerator pedal while keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming
vehicles.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the system off to prevent a mis-operation:  
 The vehicle is being towed or when towing another vehicle. 
 The vehicle is on a chassis roller. 
 When driving on rough roads such as in areas of dense grass or off-road.

NOTE
After the prescribed period, continue to follow the described maintenance at the
recommended intervals.
Emission control and related systems
The ignition and fuel systems are highly important to the emission control system and to
ef¿ cient engine operation. Do not tamper with them.
All inspections and adjustments must be made by an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Europe
The maintenance monitor alerts regarding the next maintenance due. However, at least every
20,000 km or 12 months after the respective last maintenance the next maintenance is due.

Maintenance and Care
Scheduled Maintenance
*5 Flexible setting is factory preset for some countries in Europe. Consult an Authorised Mazda Repairer for
details. Flexible setting can be set if the vehicle is operated mainly where none of the following conditions
apply.
a) Purpose of vehicle use is police car, taxi or driving school car.
b) Driving in dusty conditions
c) Extended periods of idling or low speed operation
Once the À exible maintenance is selected, the vehicle calculates the remaining oil life based on engine
operating conditions and lets you know when an oil change is due by illuminating the wrench indicator light in
the instrument cluster.
Reset the engine oil data whenever replacing the engine oil regardless of the message/wrench indicator light
display.
*6 If the vehicle is operated primarily under any of the following conditions, replace the engine oil and oil ¿ lter at
every 10,000 km (6,250 miles) or shorter.
a) Purpose of vehicle use is police car, taxi or driving school car.
b) Driving in dusty conditions
c) Extended periods of idling or low speed operation
d) Driving for long period in cold temperatures or driving regularly at short distance only
e) Driving in extremely hot conditions
f) Driving in mountainous conditions continually
*7 For SKYACTIV-D 1.5, reset the engine oil data whenever replacing the engine oil regardless of the message/
wrench indicator light display.
*8 Use of FL-22 is recommended when replacing engine coolant. Using engine coolant other than FL-22 may
cause serious damage to the engine and cooling system.
*9 Inspect the battery electrolyte level, speci¿ c gravity and outer appearance. The sealed battery only requires an
outer appearance inspection.
*10 If the brakes are used extensively (for example, continuous hard driving or mountain driving) or if the vehicle
is operated in extremely humid climates, replace the brake À uid annually.
*11 If the vehicle is operated primarily under any of the following conditions, replace the rear differential oil at
every 45,000 km (27,000 miles).
a) Towing a trailer or using a car-top carrier
b) Driving in dusty, sandy or wet condition
c) Extended periods of idling or low speed operation
d) Repeated short trips of less than 16 km (10 miles)
*12 If this component has been submerged in water, the oil should be replaced.
*13 Tyre rotation is recommended every 10,000 km (6,250 miles).
*14 The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) initialization must be performed so that the system operates
normally (if equipped).
*15 Check the tyre repair À uid expiration date every year when performing the periodic maintenance. Replace the
tyre repair À uid bottle with new one before the expiration date.
