NOTE
When the driver operates the steering
wheel while the steering wheel operation
assist is operating, the steering wheel
operation assistance is canceled.
▼System Canceling
The LAS can be set to inoperable.
(If only the LAS is turned off)
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
(If the LAS is turned off by operating
the i-ACTIVSENSE switch)
Refer to i-ACTIVSENSE Switch on
page 4-85.

Smart Brake Support
(SBS)
*
▼Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The SBS alerts the driver of a possible
collision using the wa
rning indications in
the display and a warning sound if the
front radar sensor and Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) determine that there is the
possibility of a collision with a vehicle
ahead, pedestrian, or a bicycle.
Furthermore, if a collision is unavoidable,
the automatic brake control is performed
to reduce damage in the event of a
collision. In addition, when the driver
depresses the brake pe dal, the brakes are
applied firmly and quickly to assist.
(Vehicles with Driver Monitoring (DM))
When the SBS determines that the driver
is not paying attention to the road using
the driver monitoring camera and it
determines that there is the possibility of a
collision with an obs truction, the SBS
activates the collision warning earlier than
normal.
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the SBS.
The SBS is only designed to reduce damage
in the event of a collision.
The ability to detect obstructions is limited
depending on the obstructions, weather
conditions, or traffic conditions. Over
reliance on the system leading to the
accelerator pedal or brake pedal being
mistakenly operated could result in an
accident.
