WARNING
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 4-159.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for rear bumper replacement.
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is
changed, the SBS-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.

Always use wheels of the
specified
type and size for the front and rear
wheels. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer for tire replacement.
When the display is cold, images
may 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
