service areas, and parking areas of
expressways (If you exit an expressway
while headway control is in use, the
vehicle ahead will no longer be tracked
and your vehicle may accelerate to the
set speed).
 Long, descending slopes (to maintain
distance between vehicles, the system
automatically and continuously applies
the brakes which could result in the loss
of brake power.)
 The vehicle ahead is traveling at an
extremely slow speed.
 Two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorcycles or bicycles are ahead.
 (Automatic transmission vehicle)
Slopes with a steep gradient (The vehicle
ahead may not be detected correctly,
your vehicle may slip while stopped by
the stop hold control, or it may
accelerate suddenly after it starts
moving.)
 Driving under bad weather conditions
(rain, fog, and snow).
 The TJA cannot detect lane lines.
 Narrow roads resulting from road
construction or lane closures.
 The vehicle is driven on slippery roads
such as icy or snow -covered roads and
unpaved roads (Tires could spin causing
you to lose vehicle control, or the stop
hold control may not operate.)

different
specified size are used,
such as a temporary spare tire.
 Tires with insufficient tread are used.
 The tire pressures are not adjusted to the
specified pressure.
 The vehicle is being used to tow a
camper or boat trailer.

Smart Brake Support[Rear] (SBS-R)
*
▼Smart Brake Support [Rear]
(SBS-R)
The SBS-R is a syste m which is designed
to reduce damage in the event of a
collision by operating the brake control
(SBS brake) when the system’s sensors
detect an obstruction at the rear of the
vehicle while driving at a speed of about 2
to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph) and the system
determines that a collision is unavoidable.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the SBS-R
system:
 The SBS-R 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.
 To assure the correct operation of the
SBS-R, heed the following cautions.
 Do not apply a sticker to a rear
ultrasonic sensor and rear camera.
Otherwise, the rear ultrasonic sensor
and rear camera may not be able to
detect vehicles or obstructions which
could result in an accident.
 Do not disassemble a rear ultrasonic
sensor and rear camera.
 If cracks or damage caused by flying
gravel or debris is visible around a rear
ultrasonic sensor and rear camera,
stop using the SBS-R 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] (SBS-R) System
Operation on page 4-159.
 Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for rear bumper replacement.
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is
changed, the SBS-R system may not
operate correctly because it cannot detect
obstructions correctly.

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

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

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.
