y The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is turned on.



y The parking brake is not applied.



y The Smart Brake Support (SBS) is not malfunctioning.



y The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is operating normally. 



y The selector lever is in the drive (D) position or manual (M) position (manual mode). 



y In the following cases, the warnings may not activate even if your vehicle starts closing in
on the vehicle ahead.
 


y You are driving at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.



y Directly after the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system has been set.



y When the accelerator pedal is depressed or directly after the accelerator pedal is
released.
 


y Another vehicle cuts into the driving lane. 



y The following are not detected as physical objects. 



y Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction



y Pedestrians



y Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions) 



y If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it
correctly.
 


y During headway control travel, do not set the system on two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorcycles and bicycles.
 


y Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system under conditions in which
the close proximity warnings are frequently activated.
 


y During headway control travel, the system accelerates and decelerates your vehicle in
conjunction with the speed of the vehicle ahead. However, if it is necessary to accelerate
for a lane change or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly causing you to close in on the
vehicle rapidly, accelerate using the accelerator pedal or decelerate using the brake
pedal depending on the conditions.
 


y While the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is in use, it does not cancel
even if the selector lever is operated and any intended engine braking will not occur. If
deceleration is required, lower the vehicle speed setting or depress the brake pedal.
 


y The brake lights are illuminated while the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
automatic braking is operating.
 


y The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) warning light (amber) turns on when the
system has a malfunction. Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-24 .



y The headway control operation can be canceled and the system can be switched to only
cruise control. Refer to Cruise Control Function on page 4-100 .

y 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:
 


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



y The vehicle ahead is signi¿ cantly dirty.



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



y The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used when it's
raining.
 


y The windshield is dirty.



y The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is accelerated
rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
 


y Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high pro¿ le.



y Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier. 



y Under the following conditions, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not
operate normally.
 


y Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat.



y If there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.



y When driving on continuously curving roads, and entering and exiting exits.



y Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers the laser
sensor (front).
 


y Exhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water vapor rising from
manholes and grating, and water splashed into the air.
 


y When towing a malfunctioning vehicle.



y When driving with tires having signi¿ cantly different wear. 



y In the following cases, the laser sensor (front) may inadvertently determine that there is a
vehicle ahead and the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may operate.
 


y Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve.



y Vehicles passing in the opposite lane while making a curve.



y Metal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road.



y When passing through a toll gate equipped with a bar.



y When passing under a vinyl curtain or À ag.



y Plastic objects such as pylons.



y Two-wheeled vehicles, pedestrians, animals or standing trees. 



y When the system operates, the user is noti¿ ed by the À ashing Smart City Brake Support
(SCBS) indicator light (red) and the active driving display * .

Sensing Camera (FSC)/laser sensor (front) are being displayed in the center display.
 


y Although the objects which activate the system are four-wheeled vehicles, the radar
sensor (front) could detect the following objects, determine them to be an obstruction, and
operate the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
*Some models.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System *
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all four tires. If
the air pressure of one or more tires is too low, the system warns the driver by indicating the
tire pressure monitoring system warning light in the instrument cluster and operating a beep
sound. The system monitors the tire pressures indirectly using the data sent from the ABS
wheel speed sensors.
To allow the system to operate correctly, the system needs to be initialized with the speci¿ ed
tire pressure (value on the tire pressure label). Follow the procedure and perform the
initialization.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on page 4-129 .
The warning light À ashes when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-25 .
