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 event 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
(automatic transmission) is shifted
to the reverse (R) position.
2. If there is the possibility 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.
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, or animals.

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.
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 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.
If the vehicle is driven during cold
temperatures and the camera
temperature decreases, the top view
and the side view may become
u n c l ea r. H o we v e r, t h i s d o e s n o t
indicate a problem. If the vehicle is
stopped for a while and the camera
temperature increases, the top view
and the side view will return to the
normal condition.
If the battery voltage is low, the
screen might be temporarily difficult
to view, however, this does not
indicate a problem.
The 360°View Monitor has
limitations. Objects under the
bumper or near both ends of the
bumper cannot be displayed.
Obstructions above the upper image

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 Pressure 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 tire 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.
