Smart Brake Support[Rear Crossing]
(SBS-RC)
*
▼ Smart Brake Support [Rear
Crossing] (SBS-RC)
The SBS-RC is a system designed to assist
the driver in avoiding collisions and to
reduce damage in the e
vent of a collision
by applying the brakes if there is the
possibility of collision with a vehicle
approaching from the rear while you are
reversing out of parking space.
The SBS-RC system detects vehicles
approaching from the rear left and right
sides of the vehicle, and the rear of the
vehicle while the vehicle is being reversed
out of a parking space, the system reduces
damage in the event of a collision by
operating the brake control when the
system determines that a collision is
unavoidable.
SBS-RC operation
1. The SBS-RC system operates when the
shift lever (manual transmission) or the
selector lever (auto matic transmission)
is shifted to the reverse (R) position.
2. If there is the poss ibility of a collision
with an approaching vehicle, the
SBS-RC system applies brake and
displays “BRAKE!” on the active
driving display and the
multi-information display.
WA R N I N G
Always check the surrounding area visually
before actually putting the vehicle in
reverse:
The system is only designed to assist you in
backing out of the lot when putting the
vehicle in reverse. Due to certain limitations
with the operation of this system, the
SBS-RC system may not operate brake or it
might be delayed even though a vehicle is
behind your vehicle. Always make it your
responsibility as a driver to check the rear.
Do not rely completely on the SBS-RC
system:
 The SBS-RC system is only designed to
reduce damage in the event of a
collision. Over reliance on the system
leading to the accelerator pedal or brake
pedal being mistakenly operated could
result in an accident.
 The SBS-RC system operates in response
to a vehicle. The system does not operate
in response to obstructions such as a
wall, pedestrians, 2-wheeled vehicles, or
animals.

Mazda3_8HE9-EA-18K_Edition1 2018-10-17 19:05:10

To assure the correct operation of the
SBS-RC, heed the following cautions.
Do not apply a sticker to a rear radar and
rear camera. Otherwise, the rear radar
and rear camera may not be able to
detect vehicles or obstructions which
could result in an accident.
 Do not disassemble a rear radar and rear
camera.
 If cracks or damage caused by flying
gravel or debris is visible around a rear
radar and rear camera, stop using the
SBS-RC system immediately and have
your vehicle inspected by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer. If the vehicle continues to
be driven with cracks or scratch marks
left around an ultrasonic sensor, the
system may operate unnecessarily and
cause an unexpected accident.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support [Rear Crossing] (SBS-RC) System
Operation on page 4-164.
 Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for
rear bumper replacement.
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is
changed, the SBS-RC system may not
operate correctly because it cannot detect
obstructions correctly.Do not apply a strong force to a rear radar
and rear camera:
When washing the vehicle, do not spray
highly pressurized water against a rear
radar and rear camera, or rub it strongly. In
addition, do not hit the rear bumper
forcefully when loading and unloading
cargo Otherwise, the sensors may not
detect obstructions correctly which could
cause the SBS-RC system to not operate
normally, or it could operate unnecessarily.
NOTE
The SBS-RC system will operate under
the following conditions.
The engine is running.
The shift lever (manual transmission
vehicle) or the selector lever
(automatic transmission vehicle) is in
the R (reverse) position.
i-ACTIVSENSE warning indication/
warning light is no t displayed in the
multi-information display.
The vehicle speed is under about 10
km/h (6 mph).
The vehicle speed of an approaching
vehicle is about 3 km/h (2 mph) or
faster.
The SBS-R is not turned off.
The DSC is not malfunctioning.
In the following cases, the
i-ACTIVSENSE warning indication/
warning light turns on and operation of
the system is stopped. If the
i-ACTIVSENSE warning indication/
warning light remains illuminated, have
the vehicle inspected at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
Some problem with the system
including the SBS-RC system.

if the activation button is accidentally
pressed, and result in loss of vehicle control
and an accident.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched OFF, the
system status before it was turned off is
maintained. For example, if the ignition is
switched OFF with the cruise control
system operable, the system will be
operable when the ignition is switched ON
the next time.
Activation

▼To Resume Cruising Speed at More
Than 30 km/h (19 mph)
If the cruise control system is temporarily
canceled (such as by 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 30 km/h (19
mph), increase the veh
icle speed up to 30
km/h (19 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.
Press the CANCEL switch.
(Manual transmission)

higher, the system reverts to the previously
set speed.
NOTE
If any of the follow ing conditions occur,
the cruise control system is temporarily
canceled.
Even when the brake pedal is slightly
depressed.
The DSC is operating.
There is a problem in the system.
Any of the doors is opened.
The driver's seat belt is unfastened.
The parking brake is applied.
(Automatic transmission)
The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
(Manual transmission)
The shift lever is in the neutral

When the cruise control system is
temporarily canceled by even one of the
applicable cancel conditions, the speed
cannot be re-set.
(Automatic transmission)
The cruise control cannot be canceled
while driving in manual mode (selector
lever shifted from D to M position).
