Do not apply a strong force to an ultrasonic sensor (rear):
When washing the vehicle, do not spray highly pressurised water against an ultrasonic sensor
(rear), or rub it strongly. In addition, do not hit the rear bumper forcefully when loading and
unloading cargo Otherwise, the sensors may no t detect obstructions correctly which could
cause the SCBS R system to not operate no rmally, or it could operate unnecessarily.
CAUTION
When driving
off-road in areas where there is grass or foliage, it is recommended that the
SCBS R system be turned off.
Always use tyres of the specified size and th e same manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern
on all 4 wheels. In addition, do not use tyres wi th significantly different wear patterns on the
same vehicle. Otherwise, the SCBS R system may not operate normally.
If ice or snow is stuck on the ultrasonic sensors (rear) they may not be able to detect
obstructions correctly depending on the conditions. In such cases, the system may not be
able to perform controls correctly. Always dr ive carefully and pay attention to the rear of
the vehicle.
NOTE
•The vehicle posture changes depending on the accelerator pedal, brake pedal and
steering wheel operations, which could make it difficult for the system to recognise an
obstruction, or it could facilitate unnecessary detection. In such cases, the SCBS R may or
may not operate.
•The SCBS R system will operate under the following conditions.
•The engine is running.
•The change lever (manual transaxle vehicle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle
vehicle) is in the R (reverse) position.
•“Reverse Smart City Brake Support Malfunction” is not displayed in the
multi-information display.
•The vehicle speed is between about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph).
•The SCBS R is not turned off.
•The DSC is not malfunctioning.
•The SCBS R operates using ultrasonic sensors (rear) which detect obstructions at the rear
by emitting ultrasonic waves and then receiving the returning waves reflected off the
obstructions.
•In the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions and the
SCBS R may not operate.
•The height of the obstruction is low such as low walls or trucks with low loading
platforms.

•The surface of the obstruction is not pointed vertically relative to the vehicle.
•The obstruction is soft such as a hanging curtain or snow stuck to a vehicle.
•The obstruction is shaped irregularly.
•The obstruction is extremely close.
•In the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions correctly
and the SCBS R may not operate.
•Something is stuck on the bumper near an ultrasonic sensor (rear).

collision.
•The vehicle is affected by other sound waves such as the horn, engine noise, ultrasonic
sensor of another vehicle.
•In the following cases, an ultrasonic sensor (rear) may detect something as a target
obstruction which could cause the SCBS R system to operate.
•Driving on a steep slope.
•Wheel blocks.
•Hanging curtains, gate poles such as at toll gates and railroad crossing.

▼To Resume Cruising Speed at More
Than 25 km/h (16 mph)
If the cruise control system temporarily
cancelled (such as applying the brake
pedal) and the system is still activated, the
most recent set speed will automatically
resume when the RES/
switch is pressed.
If vehicle speed is below 25 km/h (16
mph), increase the veh icle speed up to 25
km/h (16 mph) or more and press the RES/
switch.
▼ To Temporarily Cancel
To temporarily cancel the system, use one
of these methods:
•Slightly depress
the brake pedal.
•(Manual transaxle)
Depress the clutch pedal.
•Press the OFF/CAN switch.
If the RES/
switch is pressed when the
vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) or
higher, the system reverts to the previously
set speed.
NOTE
•If any of the follow ing conditions occur,
the cruise control system is temporarily
cancelled.
•The parking brake is applied.
•(Vehicles with Adjustable Speed
Limiter (ASL))
The MODE switch for the Adjustable
Speed Limiter (ASL) is pressed.
•(Automatic transaxle)
The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
•(Manual transaxle)
The shift lever is in the neutral
position.
•When the cruise control system is
temporarily cancelled by even one of the
applicable cancel conditions, the speed
cannot be re-set.
•(Automatic transaxle)
The cruise control cannot be cancelled
while driving in manual mode (selector
lever shifted from D to M position).
Therefore, engine braking will not be
applied even if the transaxle is shifted
down to a lower gear. If deceleration is
required, lower the set speed or depress
the brake pedal.
▼ To Deactivate
When a cruising speed has been set
(cruise set indication (green) turns on)

Diesel Particulate Filter(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
The diesel particulate filter collects and
removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
PM collected by the diesel particulate
filter is cleared during normal driving,
however, PM may not be removed and the
diesel particulate filter indicator light may
illuminate under the following conditions:
•If the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h (9
mph) or less continuously.
•If the vehicle is repeatedly driven for a
short period of time (10 minute or less)
or driven while the engine is cold.
•If the vehicle is idled for a long time.
With Multi-inform ation display
When “Soot Accumulation in DPF too
high” is indicated
The particulate matter (PM) cannot be
removed automatically and the amount of
collected PM reaches a specified amount.
After the engine has sufficiently warmed
up (engine coolant temperature of 80 °C
(176 °F) or more), depress the accelerator
pedal and drive the vehicle at a speed of
20 km/h (12 mph) or more for about 15 to
20 minutes to eliminate the PM.
When “DPF malfunction” is indicated
Contact an expert repairer, we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
