x(Manual transaxle)
If the vehicle is stopped by the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) operation and the clutch

xWhen driving next to walls with no patterning (including fences and longitudinally
striped walls).
xThe tail lights of the vehicle ahead are turned off.
xA vehicle is outside the illumination range of the headlights.
xThe vehicle is making a sharp turn, or ascending or descending a steep slope.
xEntering or exiting a tunnel.
xHeavy luggage is loaded causing the vehicle to tilt.
xStrong light is shone at the front of the vehicle (back light or high-beam light from
on-coming vehicles).
xThere are many light emitters on the vehicle ahead.
xWhen the vehicle ahead is not equipped with tail lights or the tail lights are turned off at
nighttime.
xElongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
xExhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water vapour rising from
manholes and grating, and water splashed into the air.
xWhen towing a malfunctioning vehicle.
xThe vehicle is driven with tyres having significantly different wear.
xThe vehicle is driven on down slopes or bumpy roads.
xThere are water puddles on the road.
xThe surroundings are dark such as during the night, early evening, or early morning, or
in a tunnel or indoor parking lot.
xThe illumination brightness of the headlights is reduced or the headlight illumination is
weakened due to dirt or a deviated optical axis.
xThe target object enters the blind spot of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
xA person or object bursts onto the road from the shoulder or cuts right in front of you.
xYou change lanes and approach a vehicle ahead.
xWhen driving extremely close to the target object.
xTyre chains or a temporary spare tyre is installed.
xThe vehicle ahead has a special shape. For example, a vehicle towing a trailer house or
a boat, or a vehicle carrier carrying a vehicle with its front pointed rearward.

NOTE
xUnder the following conditions, the
radar sensor (front) may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead or obstructions
correctly and each system may not
operate normally.
xThe rear surface of a vehicle ahead
does not reflect radio waves
effectively, such as an unloaded
trailer or an automobile with a
loading platform covered by a soft
top, vehicles with a hard plastic
tailgate, and round-shaped vehicles.
xVehicles ahead with low vehicle
height and thus less area for
reflecting radio waves.
xVisibility is reduced due to a vehicle
ahead casting off water, snow, or
sand from its tyres and onto your
windscreen.
xThe boot/luggage compartment is
loaded with heavy objects or the rear
passenger seats are occupied.
xIce, snow, or soiling is on the front
surface of the front emblem.
xDuring inclement weather such as
rain, snow, or sand storms.
xWhen driving near facilities or
objects emitting strong radio waves.
xUnder the following conditions, the
radar sensor (front) may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead or obstructions.
xThe beginning and end of a curve.
xRoads with continuous curves.
xNarrow lane roads due to road
construction or lane closures.
xThe vehicle ahead enters the radar
sensor's blind spot.
xThe vehicle ahead is running
abnormally due to accident or
vehicle damage.
xRoads with repeated up and down
slopes
xDriving on poor roads or unpaved
roads.
xThe distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead is extremely
short.
xA vehicle suddenly comes close such
as by cutting into the lane.
xTo prevent incorrect operation of the
system, use tyres of the same specified
size, manufacturer, brand, and tread
pattern on all 4 wheels. In addition, do
not use tyres with significantly different
wear patterns or tyre pressures on the
same vehicle (Including the temporary
spare tyre).
xIf the battery power is weak, the system
may not operate correctly.
xIf the vehicle is driven on a road with
little traffic and few vehicles ahead or
obstructions for the radar sensor
(front) to detect, the sensor detects that
the radar sensor (front) is dirty and the
Smart Brake Support/Smart City Brake
Support (SBS/SCBS) Warning Light
(amber) may be temporarily turned on.
However, it does not indicate a
malfunction.
xThe radar sensors are regulated by the
relevant radio wave laws of the country
in which the vehicle is driven. If the
vehicle is driven abroad, authorization
from the country in which the vehicle is
driven may be required.

If the rear bumper receives a severe impact, the system may no longer operate normally. Stop
the system immediately and have the vehicle inspected at an Authorised Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
xThe detection ability of the radar sensors (rear) has limitations. In the following cases,
the detection ability may lower and the system may not operate normally.
xThe rear bumper near the radar sensors (rear) has become deformed.
xSnow, ice or mud adheres to the radar sensors (rear) on the rear bumper.
xUnder bad weather conditions such as rain, snow and fog.
xUnder the following conditions, the radar sensors (rear) cannot detect target objects or it
may be difficult to detect them.
xStationary objects on a road or a road side such as small, two-wheeled vehicles,
bicycles, pedestrians, animals, and shopping carts.
xVehicle shapes which do not reflect radar waves well such as empty trailers with a low
vehicle height and sports cars.
xVehicles are shipped with the direction of the radar sensors (rear) adjusted for each
vehicle to a loaded vehicle condition so that the radar sensors (rear) detect approaching
vehicles correctly. If the direction of the radar sensors (rear) has deviated for some
reason, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorised Mazda Dealer.
xFor repairs or replacement of the radar sensors (rear), or bumper repairs, paintwork, and
replacement near the radar sensors, consult an Authorised Mazda Dealer.
xTurn off the system while pulling a trailer or while an accessory such as a bicycle carrier
is installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the radio waves emitted by the radar will
be blocked causing the system to not operate normally.
xThe radar sensors are regulated by the relevant radio wave laws of the country in which
the vehicle is driven. If the vehicle is driven abroad, authorization from the country in
which the vehicle is driven may be required.
