2022 MAZDA MODEL MX-30 EV brake

The vehicle is driven on rough
roads such as in areas where there
is grass and foliage or o ff-road.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) System Operation
on page 4-143.
 Always use tires for all wheels that
are of the speci fied size, and the
same manufacture, brand, and tread
pattern. In addition, do not use tires

Rearward detection function
The rearward detection function is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with a target object
when reversing.
The rearward detection function
detects obstructions using the rear
ultrasonic sensors. In addition, if there
is the possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a target object at the rear
while you are driving in reverse, you
are notified of possible danger by a
warning sound and a warning
indication on the display.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a
collision increases, brake control is
performed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision.
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually when reversing the vehicle:
The operation of the rearward
detection function has certain
limitations. Therefore, the function
might not operate or it might be
delayed even if there is a target object
at the rear of your vehicle. Always
make it your responsibility as a driver
to check the rear.

▼Changing the Set Vehicle Speed
Follow either of these procedures.
To increase/decrease speed using
cruise control switch
When the RES switch is pressed up
(SET+), the vehicle accelerates and
when the RES switch is pressed down
(SET
-), it decelerates.
Press and release immediately: 1
km/h (1 mph)
Press and hold: 10 km/h (5 mph)
NOTE
Even after releasing the RES switch, the
cruise control accelerates/decelerates
continuously until the set speed
displayed in the instrument cluster and
on the active driving display is reached.
If you want to stop accelerating/
decelerating, change the set speed or
cancel the system (such as by
depressing the brake pedal).
To increase speed using accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and
press the RES switch up (SET+) or
down (SET -) at the desired speed. If
the switch is not operated, the system
returns to the set speed after you
release your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
NOTE
Accelerate if you want to speed up
temporarily when the cruise control is
on. Greater speed will not interfere
with or change the set speed. Take
your foot o ff the accelerator to return
to the set speed.
▼ To Resume Cruising Speed at More
Than 30 km/h (19 mph)
If the cruise control system is
temporarily canceled (such as by
applying the brake pedal) and the
system is still activated, the most
recent set speed will automatically
resume when the RES switch is
pressed.
If vehicle speed is below 30 km/h (19
mph), increase the vehicle speed up to
