Always check the surrounding area visually before actually putting the vehicle in reverse:
The system is only designed to assist you in ch
ecking for vehicles at the rear when putting the
vehicle in reverse. Due to certain limitations wi th the operation of this system, the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights may not flash 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.
NOTE
In the following cases, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF Indicator Light turns on
and operation of the system is stopped. If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF Indicator
Light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as
soon as possible.
Some problem with the system including the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
indicator lights has occurred.
A large deviation in the installation position of a radar sensor (rear) on the vehicle has
occurred.
There is a large accumulation of snow or ice on the rear bumper near a radar sensor
(rear).
Driving on snow-covered roads for long periods.

Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)*
The Advanced SCBS alerts the driver of a possible collision usi ng the display and a warning
sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects a vehicle a head or pedestrian and
determines that a collision with the object is unavoidable whil e the vehicle is driven at a
vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph) if the object is a vehicle ahead and about
10 to 80 km/h (6.2 to 50 mph) if the object is a pedestrian. In addition, the system reduces
damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake contr ol (Advanced SCBS brake)
when the system determines that a collision is unavoidable. In addition, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal, the brakes are applied firmly and qu ickly to assist. (Brake Assist
(Advanced SCBS brake assist))

Do not rely completely on the Advanced SCBS system:
 The Advanced SCBS 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 Advanced SCBS system operates in response to a vehicle ahead or a pedestrian. The
system does not operate in response to obstru ctions such as a wall, 2-wheeled vehicles, or
animals.

Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)*
The SCBS F system alerts the driver of a possible collision using an indication in the
display and a warning sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FS C) detects a vehicle
ahead and determines that a colli sion with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable while the vehicle
is being driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph). In addition, the
system reduces damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) brake) when t he system determines that a collision is unavoidable
while the vehicle is being driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph). It
may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you is les s than about 20 km/h (12 mph). In addition, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal while the system is in the operation range at about 4 to 30 km/h (2
to 18 mph), the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist . (Brake Assist (Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) brake assist))

 Heed the following cautions to assure that the 360°View Monitor operates normally.
 Do not modify the vehicle suspensions or lower/raise the vehicle body, or both.
 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 surroundi ngs. 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 th e 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 su re 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 dirt y, wash it off with mild detergent.
If the area where the camera is installed, such as the liftgate 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 battery voltage is low, the screen mi ght be temporarily difficult to view, however,
this does not indicate a problem.

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pre ssure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when th e low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-in flated tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduce s fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver's responsibility to maintain correct ti re 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 wi ll flash for approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This sequen ce 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 th at 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 fo r a little while before indicating a problem. As
a result it will not instantaneously regi ster a rapid tire deflation or blow out.
▼System Error Activation
When the warning light flashes, there may
be a system malfunction. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
A system error activation may occur in the
following cases:
When there is equipment or a device
near the vehicle using the same radio
frequency as that of the tire pressure
sensors.
When a metallic device such as a
non-genuine navigation system is
equipped near the center of the
dashboard, which may block radio
signals from the tire
pressure sensor to
the receiver unit.
When using the following devices in the
vehicle that may cause radio
interference with the receiver unit.
A digital device such as a personal
computer.
A current converter device such as a
DC-AC converter.
When excess snow or ice adheres to the
vehicle, especially around the wheels.
When the tire pressu re sensor batteries
are exhausted.
When using a wheel with no tire
pressure sensor installed.
When using tires with steel wire
reinforcement in the sidewalls.
When using tire chains.
