Smart Brake Support(SBS)
*
SBS is a system designed to avoid
collisions and reduce damage in the
event of a collision by controlling the
brakes. Sensors and camera equipped
on the vehicle detect objects, and
operate brake control if there is a
possibility of your vehicle colliding with
the object.
One part of the SBS functions when
you are driving forward and the other
part functions when you are driving in
reverse.
Forward drive detection
Forward drive detection has the
following 4 functions.
Forward detection function
*
The forward detection function is
designed to assist the driver in avoiding
collisions with objects (vehicles ahead,
pedestrians, bicycles, and motorcycles)
at the front and to reduce damage in
the event of a collision.
If there is a possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a target object at the
front, you are notified of possible
danger by a screen display and a
warning sound. Furthermore, if the
possibility of a collision increases,
brake control is performed to avoid
collision and 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.
Tu r n -A c ro s s Tra ffi c*
The Turn-Across Traffic is designed to
assist the driver in avoiding a collision
with a vehicle approaching in the
opposite direction when making a left
turn at an intersection and to reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
If there is a possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a vehicle approaching in
the opposite direction when you make
a left turn at an intersection, you are
notified of possible danger by a screen
display and a warning sound.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a
collision increases, brake control is
performed to avoid collision and
reduce damage in the event of a
collision.

Rear Crossing*
The Rear Crossing is designed to avoid
collision and reduce damage in the
event of a collision with a vehicle
approaching from the rear sides.
If there is a possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a vehicle approaching
from the rear sides, you are notified of
possible danger by a screen display
and a warning sound. Furthermore, if
the possibility of a collision increases,
brake control is performed to avoid
collision and reduce damage in the
event of a collision.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Smart Brake Support (SBS)
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 modify the suspensions.
 Handle the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) appropriately. Otherwise, the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) may
not be able to detect target objects,
which could result in an accident.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 5-127.
 Handle the radar sensors
appropriately. Otherwise, the radar
sensors may not be able to detect
target objects, which could result in
an accident.
Refer to Radar Sensors on page
5-131.
 Handle the ultrasonic sensors
appropriately. Otherwise, the
ultrasonic sensors may not be able to
detect target objects, which could
result in an accident.
Refer to Ultrasonic Sensors on page
5-135.
 Handle the rear camera
appropriately. Otherwise, the rear
camera may not be able to detect
target objects, which could result in
an accident.

To w i n g
Your Mazda was designed and built
primarily to carry passengers and
cargo.
If you tow a trailer, follow these
instructions because driver and
passenger safety depends on proper
equipment and safe driving habits.
Towing a trailer will affect handling,
braking , durability, performance, and
economy.
Never overload vehicle or trailer.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer if
you need further details.
NOTE
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Trailer Stability Control (TSC)
mechanism, which enhances vehicle
stability when towing a trailer.
Refer to Trailer Stability Control
(TSC) on page 5-90.
When towing a trailer, do not use the
following safety systems (If a Mazda
genuine trailer hitch is used, these
systems are automatically turned off
when the trailer's electrical
connector is connected):
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)Smart Brake Support (SBS) reverse
drive detection
Parking Sensor System (Rear)Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK)
Blind Spot Assist
Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK)

Turn off the aforementioned safety
systems when towing a trailer
without a genuine Mazda trailer
hitch.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Mazda intelligent Drive Select
(Mi-Drive) towing mode which
enhances vehicle stability when
towing a trailer.

Exterior Maintenance
WARNING
Dry off brakes that have become wet
by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to normal.
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when
braking could result in a serious
accident. Light braking will indicate
whether the brakes have been
affected.
CAUTION
Before lifting the windshield wiper
blades off the windshield, always
follow the procedure for moving the
windshield wiper blades. Otherwise,
a wiper blade, wiper arm, or the
hood could be damaged.
Refer to the Replacing Windshield
Wiper Blade Rubbers section (page
9-23) for the procedure on how to
move the windshield wiper blades to
the service position.
 When the vehicle power is switched
ON and the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position, the windshield
wipers may operate automatically in
the following cases:
The area of the windshield above the
rain sensor is touched or wiped with
a cloth.
The windshield or the rain sensor
area in the cabin is hit.
When the vehicle power is switched
ON and the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position, do not touch the
windshield or the windshield wipers
Otherwise, the windshield wipers
will operate automatically which
could catch your fingers or damage
the windshield wipers.
When removing ice or snow, or
cleaning the windshield, always
make sure the wiper lever is in the
OFF position.
 Do not spray water in the engine
compartment. Otherwise, it could
result in engine-starting problems or
damage to electrical parts.
 When washing and waxing the
vehicle, be careful not to apply
excessive force to any single area of
the vehicle roof. Otherwise, you
could dent the vehicle.
 Make sure that the fuel-filler lid is
closed and lock the doors.
Otherwise, the fuel-filler lid may be
forcefully opened by water pressure
causing damage to the vehicle or
fuel-filler lid.
 (Vehicles with hands-free liftgate)
When washing or waxing the vehicle,
turn off the hands-free liftgate using
the Mazda Connect or do not bring
the transmitter into the area around
the liftgate. Otherwise, the liftgate
could open unexpectedly resulting in
an accident. Refer to Power Liftgate
section (page 4-21).
 Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, or strong detergents
containing highly alkaline or caustic
agents on chrome-plated or
anodized aluminum parts. This may
damage the protective coating; also,
cleaners and detergents may discolor
or deteriorate the paint.
