Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)*
The SCBS system alerts the driver of a possible collision using an indication in the display
and a warning sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detec ts a vehicle ahead and
determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable while the vehicle is being
driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph). In addition, the system
reduces damage in the event of a collision by operating the bra ke control (Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) brake) when the system determines that a collisi on is unavoidable while the
vehicle is being driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 30 km/ h (2 to 18 mph). It may also
be possible to avoid a collision if the relative s peed between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you is less than about 20 km/h (12 mph). In addition, when the driver depresses the
brake pedal while the system is in the operation range at about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph),
the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist. (Brake Ass ist (Smart City Brake Support
(SCBS) brake assist))

Do not rely completely on the SCBS system:
 The SCBS system is only designed to reduce da mage in the event of a collision. Over reliance
on the system leading to the accelerator pe dal or brake pedal being mistakenly operated
could result in an accident.
 The SCBS is a system which operates in respon se to a vehicle ahead. The system may not be
able to detect or react to 2- wheeled vehicles or pedestrians.

▼Stopping the Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) System Operation
The SCBS system can be temporarily
deactivated.
Refer to Safety Equi
pment on page 9-11.
When the SCBS system is turned off, the
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) OFF
indicator light turns on.

When the engine is restarted, the system
becomes operational.
NOTE
When the SCBS system is set to
inoperable, the Smart Brake Support
(SBS) are also se t to inoperable.
Smart Brake Support
(SBS)
*
The SBS system alerts the driver of a
possible collision using a display and
warning sound if the radar sensor (front)
and the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
determine that there is the possibility of a
collision with a vehicle ahead while the
vehicle is being driven at about 15 km/h or
faster (10 mph or fast er). Furthermore, if
the radar sensor (front) and the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) determines that a
collision is unavoidable, the automatic
brake control is performed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
In addition, when the d river depresses the
brake pedal, the brakes are applied firmly
and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SBS
brake assist))
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the SBS system
and always drive carefully:
The SBS is designed to reduce damage in
the event of a collision, not avoid an
accident. The ability to detect an
obstruction is limited depending on the
obstruction, weather conditions, or traffic
conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator
pedal or brake pedal is mistakenly
operated it could result in an accident.
Always verify the safety of the surrounding
area and depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal while keeping a safer
distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming
vehicles.

360° View Monitor*
The 360° View Monitor consists of the following functions which assist the driver in
checking the area surrounding the vehicle using various indications in the center display and
a warning sound while the vehicle is being driven at low speeds or while parking.
To p v i e w
The top view displays an image of the vehicle from directly abo ve on the center display
by combining the images taken from the 4 cameras set on all sid es of the vehicle. The top
view displays on the right side of the screen when the front vi ew or rear view screen is
being displayed. The top view assists the driver in checking th e area surrounding the
vehicle when the vehicle is moving forward or in reverse.
Front view/front wide view
The image from the front of the vehicle is displayed on the cen ter display.
The view from the front assists t he driver in checking the front of the vehicle by
displaying guide lines on the di splayed image taken from the fr ont of the vehicle.
Side view
The images taken from the front left and right sides of the vehicle are displayed on the
center display.
The side view assists the driver in checking the front sides of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed ima ge taken from the front left and right sides of the vehicle.
Rear view/rear wide view
The image from the rear of the vehicle is displayed on the cent er display.
The image from the rear assists the driver in checking the rear of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed ima ge taken from the rear of the vehicle.
Parking sensor
If there are any obstructions nea r the vehicle while the top view/side view is displayed, an
obstruction detection indication turns on around the bumper in the center display.
The parking sensors use ultrasonic sensors to detect obstructio ns around the vehicle when
the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or p arallel parking, and notifies
the driver of the approximate di stance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction
using sound and an obstruction detection indication.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-232.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If there is the possibility of a collision with an approaching vehicle while the rear view/
rear wide view is displayed, a w arning is displayed on the center display.
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) uses radar sensors (rear) t o detect vehicles
approaching from the rear left and right sides of the vehicle, and it assists the driver in
checking the rear of the vehicle while reversing by flashing th e Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning lights and activating the warning sound.
Refer to Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) on page 4-140.

 The vehicle is on a road incline.
 The door mirrors are retracted.
 Do not hit the front/rear camera, front bumper, and door mirrors forcefully. The camera
position or installation angle may shift.
 The cameras are of a waterproof structure. Do not disassemble, modify, or remove a
camera.
 The camera cover is made of hard plastic, therefore do not apply oil film remover, organic
solvents, wax, or coating agents. If any such agent gets on the camera cover, wipe it off
using a soft cloth immediately.
 Do not rub the camera lens forcefully, or clean it with an abrasive or hard brush. Otherwise,
it could scratch the camera lens and negatively affect the images.
 Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for repair, painting, or replacement of the front/rear
camera, front bumper and door mirrors.
 Heed the following cautions to assure that the 360°View Monitor operates normally.
 Do not modify the vehicle suspensions or lower/raise the vehicle body, or both.
 Always use wheels of the specified type and si ze for the front and rear wheels. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer for tire replacement.
 When the display is cold, images may leave trai ls or the screen might be darker than usual,
making it difficult to check the vehicle surroundi ngs. Always confirm the safety at the front
and around the vehicle visually when driving.
 The method for parking/stopping the vehicle using the 360°View Monitor differs depending
on the road circumstances/conditions and th e vehicle conditions. When and how much you
turn the steering wheel will differ depending on the situation, , therefore always check the
vehicle surroundings directly with yo ur eyes while using the system.
Also, before using the system, always make sure that the vehicle can be parked/stopped in
the parking/stopping space.
NOTE
If there are water droplets, snow, or mud on the camera lens, wipe it off using a soft cloth.
If the camera lens is especially dirt y, wash it off with mild detergent.
If the area where the camera is installed, such as the trunk or door mirrors, has been
damaged in a vehicle accident, the camera (position, installation angle) may have shifted.
Always consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer to have the vehicle inspected.
If the camera is subjected to excessive changes in temperature such as by pouring hot
water on the camera during cold weather, the 360°View Monitor may not operate
normally.
If the battery voltage is low, the screen might be temporarily difficult to view, however,
this does not indicate a problem.
