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.
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 4-165.
 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.

leave trails or the screen might be darker
than usual, making it
difficult to check
the vehicle surroundings. 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 the
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 your 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.

soft cloth. If the camera lens is
especially dirty, wash it off with mild
detergent.
If the camera lens is touched or there is
any dirt on it, it could affect the screen
image. Wipe the lens using a soft cloth.
If the area where the camera is
installed, such as the front/rear bumper
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.

Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver's responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating
properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one
or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
 To avoid false readings, the system
samples for a little while before
indicating a problem. As a result it will
not instantaneously register a rapid tire
deflation or blow out.▼ If there is a problem with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
If the TPMS warning light flashes, there
may be a problem with the system.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
have the system inspected.
Refer to Tire Pressu
re Monitoring System
(TPMS) Warning Indication/Warning
Light (Flashing) on page 7-33.
In the following cases, the system cannot
recognize the tire pressures correctly and
the TPMS warning light may flash.
There is equipment or a device nearby
emitting radio signals the same as a tire
pressure sensor.
A metallic object such as a non-genuine
electronic device is installed near the
center of the dashboard (obstructs the
radio signals from the tire pressure
sensors to the receiver).
A device such as one of the following is
used in the cabin.
Electronic devices such as a computer.
Converter devices such as a DC-AC
converter.
There is a large accumulation of snow or
ice around the vehicle tires.
The battery in a tir e pressure sensor is
dead.
A wheel not equipped with a tire
pressure sensor is used.
Tires employing steel in the sidewall of
the tire are installed.
Tire chains are used.
