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.

•The brake pedal is depressed.
•The steering wheel is being operated.
•The selector lever is being operated.
•The direction indicator is being used.
•When the vehicle ahead is not equipped with tail lights or the tail lights are turned off.
•When warnings and messages, such as a dirty windscreen, related to the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) are being displayed in the multi-information display.
•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 SBS system.
•Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve (including guardrails and snow banks).
•A vehicle appears in the opposite lane while cornering or rounding a curve.
•When crossing a narrow bridge.
•When passing under a low gate or through a tunnel or narrow gate.
•When entering an underground parking area.

Radar Sensor (Front)*
Your vehicle is equipped with a radar sensor (front).
The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).
•Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
•Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with S top & Go function)
•Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
•Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The radar sensor (front) functions by detecting the radio waves reflected off a vehicle ahead
or an obstruction sent from the radar sensor.
The radar sensor (front) is mo unted behind the front emblem.
Radar sensor (front)
If “Front radar blocked” is displayed in the multi-information display of the instrument
cluster, clean the area around the radar sensor (front).
CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to a ssure correct operation of each system.
Do not adhere stickers (including transparent st ickers) to the surface of the radiator grille
and front emblem in and around the radar sens or (front), and do not replace the radiator
grille and front emblem with any product that is not a genuine product designed for use
with the radar sensor (front).
The radar sensor (front) includes a function fo r detecting soiling of the radar sensor's front
surface and informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may require
time to detect or it may not detect plastic sh opping bags, ice or snow. If this occurs, the
system may not operate correctly, therefore al ways keep the radar sensor (front) clean.
Do not install a grille guard.
If the front part of the vehicle has been dama ged in a vehicle accident, the position of the
radar sensor (front) may have moved. Stop the system immediately and always have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
