▼Road Keep Assist
The Road Keep Assist
function assists
the driver in avoiding a departure from
the road while driving.
The Road Keep Assist function
recognizes the outside of the road
using the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC). If your vehicle may be deviating
from the road, it provides steering
assistance to avoid departure from the
road.
When the steering wheel operation
assist operates, display indications
alert the driver of the possibility of a
road departure. Furthermore, if the
possibility of a road departure
increases, a warning sound and display
indications alert the driver of the
danger.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Road
Keep Assist function and always drive
carefully:
 The Road Keep Assist function has
limitations. Do not rely completely
on the system and always stay on
course using the steering wheel.
 The Road Keep Assist function is not
an autonomous driving system. In
addition, the system is not designed
to compensate for a driver’s lack of
caution, and over-reliance on the
system could lead to an accident.
Do not use the system under the
following conditions. Otherwise, it
may result in an accident:
 The vehicle is driven on slippery
roads such as icy roads,
snow-covered roads, and unpaved
roads.
 Tires other than the speci fied size are
used, such as when tire chains or
temporary spare tires are used.
 The vehicle is towing a camping
trailer or boat trailer.
Operation conditions
The Road Keep Assist function
becomes operational when any of the
following conditions is met.
The vehicle speed is about 64 km/h
(40 mph) or faster.
The vehicle is driven on a straight
road or gentle curve.
The function recognizes the outside
of the road by detecting target
objects (such as gravel, grass, street
gutters, road curbs, guardrails, or
walls).

Smart Brake Support(SBS)
*
▼Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The SBS is a system designed to detect
target objects using sensors and
cameras equipped on the vehicle, and
to reduce damage in the event of a
collision by operating the brake control
if there is the possibi
lity of your vehicle
colliding with a target object.
One part of the SBS functions when
you are driving forward and the other
part functions when you are driving in
reverse.
Refer to Forward drive detection on
page 4-136.
Refer to Reverse drive detection on
page 4-138.
▼ Forward drive detection
When you are driving forward, the
following functions of the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) operate.
Forward detection function
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
SBS:
The SBS is only designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
The system may not operate normally
depending on the target object,
weather conditions, or tra ffic
conditions. Over reliance on the
system leading to the accelerator pedal
or brake pedal being mistakenly
operated could result in an accident.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the SBS o ff
to prevent a mis-operation.
 The vehicle is being towed.
 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.
Forward detection function
The forward detection function is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with target objects
at the front.
The forward detection function detects
target objects (vehicles ahead,
pedestrians, and bicycles) using the
front radar sensor and the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC). If there is a
possibility of your vehicle colliding with
a target object at the front, you are
noti fied of possible danger by a
warning sound and a warning
indication on the display.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a
collision increases, the brake control is
performed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision. In addition, when
the driver depresses the brake pedal,
the brakes are applied firmly and
quickly to assist.

(Vehicles with Driver Monitoring
(DM))
If the system determines that the driver
is not paying attention to the road, it
activates the collision warning earlier
than normal.
Operation conditions
The forward detection function
operates when all of the following
conditions are met.
The power switch is switched ON.The SBS is on.(Object is vehicle ahead)

conditions is met, the forward
detection function may operate.
There is an object in the road at
the entrance to a curve (including
guardrails and snow banks).

parking area.
There is a metal object, bump, or a
protruding object on the road.
If you suddenly come close to a
vehicle ahead.
An animal, wall, or standing tree is
detected.
While the system is operating, the
driver is notified by the
multi-information display and the
active driving display.
If a malfunction is detected or the
system temporarily stops the
function due to dirt on the sensors or
cameras, the i-ACTIVSENSE warning
light turns on and a message is
displayed on the multi-information
display.
If the system performs brake control
and the vehicle is stopped, the
system will continue to hold the
brakes for a brief time unless there is
an operation performed by the
driver.
Collision warning
If there is the possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a target object at the
front, the warning sound is activated
continuously and a warning is

▼Reverse drive detection*
When you are driving in reverse, the
following functions of the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) operate.
Rearward detection functionRear crossing
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
SBS:
The SBS 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.
Heed the following cautions so that
the SBS can operate normally:
 Do not apply stickers (including
transparent stickers) to the areas
around the rear side radar sensors
and the rear ultrasonic sensors.
Otherwise, a rear side radar sensor
and a rear ultrasonic sensor may not
be able to detect vehicles and
obstructions correctly which could
result in an accident.
 If you recognize scratches around the
rear side radar sensors and rear
ultrasonic sensors, stop using the SBS
immediately and always have the
vehicle inspected by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) System Operation on
page 4-143.
 Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for rear bumper removal/
installation.
Do not hit the rear side radar sensors
and rear ultrasonic sensors forcefully:
When washing the vehicle, do not
spray highly pressurized water against
the rear side radar sensors and the rear
ultrasonic sensors, or rub them
strongly. In addition, do not hit the rear
bumper forcefully when loading and
unloading cargo. Otherwise, the
system will be unable to detect
obstructions correctly and the SBS may
not operate normally.
CAUTION
 In the following cases, turn the SBS
o ff to prevent a mis-operation.
 A trailer is pulled or an accessory
such as a bicycle carrier is installed
to the rear of the vehicle.
