Smart Brake Support (SBS)*
The SBS system alerts the driver of a possible collision using a display and warning sound
if the radar sensor (front) and the Forward Sens ing 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 se nsor (front) and the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) determines that a collision is unavoidable, the automatic brake
control is performed to reduce d amage in the event of a collision.
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal, the bra kes are applied firmly and
quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS brake assist))
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the SBS system and always drive carefully:
The SBS is designed to reduce damage in the ev ent of a collision, not avoid an accident. The
ability to detect an obstruction is limited de pending on the obstruction, weather conditions,
or traffic conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator pe
dal or brake pedal is mistakenly operated
it could result in an accident. Always verify th e safety of the surrounding area and depress the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keepin g 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
•The SBS system operates when all of the following conditions are met:
•The ignition is switched ON.
•The SBS system is on.
•The vehicle speed is about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster).
•The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is about 15 km/h or
faster (10 mph or faster).
•The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is not operating.
•The SBS system may not operate under the following conditions:
•If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly and it comes cl ose to a vehicle ahead.

▼Tyres and Wheels
CAUTION
When inspecting or adjusting the tyre air
pressures, do not apply excessive force to
the stem part of the wheel unit. The stem
part could be damaged.
Changing tyres and wheels
The following procedure allows the TPMS
to recognise a tyre pressure sensor's
unique ID signal code whenever tyres or
wheels are changed, such as changing to
and from winter tyres.
NOTE
Each tyre pressure sensor has a unique ID
signal code. The signal code must be
registered with the TPMS before it can
work. The easiest way to do it is to have
an Authorised Mazda Dealer change your
tyre and complete ID signal code
registration.
When having tyres changed at an
Authorised Mazda Dealer
When an Authorised Mazda Dealer
changes your vehicle's tyres, they will
complete the tyre pressure sensor ID
signal code registration.
When changing
tyres yourself
If you or someone else changes tyres, you
or someone else can also undertake the
steps for the TPMS t o complete the ID
signal code registration.
1. After tyres have been changed, switch
the ignition ON, then back to ACC or
OFF.
2. Wait for about 15 minutes.
3. After about 15 minutes, drive the vehicle at a speed of at least 25 km/h
(16 mph) for 10 minutes and the tyre
pressure sensor ID s ignal code will be
registered automatically.
NOTE
If the vehicle is driven within about 15
minutes of changing tyres, the tyre
pressure monitoring system warning light
will flash because the sensor ID signal
code would not have been registered. If
this happens, park the vehicle for about 15
minutes, after which the sensor ID signal
code will register upon driving the vehicle
for 10 minutes.
Replacing tyres and wheels
CAUTION
When replacing/repairing the tyres or
wheels or both, have the work done by
an Authorised Mazda Dealer, or the tyre
pressure sensors may be damaged.
The wheels equipped on your Mazda are
specially designed for installation of the
tyre pressure sensors. Do not use
non-genuine wheels, otherwise it may
not be possible to install the tyre pressure
sensors.
Be sure to have the ty re pressure sensors
installed whenever tyres or wheels are
replaced.
When having a tyre or wheel or both
replaced, the follow ing types of tyre
pressure sensor installations are possible.
•The tyre pressure sensor is removed
from the old wheel and installed to the
new one.
