If there is a structure on the road or an obstruction at a low height off the ground
in front of the vehicle, the system may recognize it as a vehicle ahead.
Acceleration and deceleration by accelerator pedal operation takes priority while
traveling at a constant speed or in headway control. When the accelerator pedal is
released, the vehicle returns to driving at a constant speed or headway control at
the set speed.
If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely low speed, the system may not
detect it correctly.
While driving using the MRCC, intended engine braking is not applied even if the

Cruising & Traffic Support(CTS)
*
The CTS is a system that reduces the
load on the driver while the vehicle is
driven on expressways or highways.
The CTS has the following 2 functions.
Constant speed/Headway control
function
The function performs headway
control to maintain the distance with a
vehicle ahead at a constant preset
speed without you having to depress
the accelerator or brake pedal.
Steering wheel assist function
When vehicle lane lines are detected,
the function assists your steering wheel
operation to follow the vehicle lane
lines.
When vehicle lane lines are not
detected, the function assists your
steering wheel operation to follow the
trajectory of the vehicle ahead.
Warnings and Cautionsfor Using Cruising &
Tra ffi c Support (CTS)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the CTS.
The CTS is not an automated driving
system. Therefore, the function has
limitations. Do not rely completely
on the system and always stay on
course using the steering wheel.
Set a vehicle speed within the speed
limit according to the road
conditions and the weather
conditions.
The CTS may not be able to detect a
vehicle ahead depending on the type
of vehicle ahead and its conditions,
the weather conditions, and the road
conditions. Additionally, the system
might be unable to decelerate
sufficiently if the vehicle ahead
applies the brakes suddenly or
another vehicle cuts into your lane,
which could result in an accident.
Do not use the CTS under the
following conditions. Otherwise, it
may result in an accident.
The vehicle is driven on roads other
than expressways and highways.
The vehicle is driven on roads with
sharp curves or with heavy
traffic
where sufficient distances between
vehicles cannot be kept.
The vehicle is driven on roads where
acceleration and deceleration are
frequently repeated.
The vehicle is exiting the main lane
on an expressway to enter an
interchange, a rest area, or a parking
area.

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.

Refer to Cameras on page 5-137.
Always check the surrounding area
visually.
The operation of the SBS has certain
limitations. Always confirm the safety
around the vehicle visually when
driving.
CAUTION
If any of the following conditions is
met, turn the SBS
off 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.
The vehicle is driven on rough
roads such as in areas where there
is grass and foliage or off-road.
Always use tires of the specified size
and the same manufacturer, brand,
and tread pattern on all 4 wheels. In
addition, do not use tires with
significantly different wear patterns
on the same vehicle. If such
improper tires are used, the SBS may
not operate normally.
How to Use the Smart
Brake Support (SBS)
NOTE
During the SBS brake control, the
brake pedal may move rearward or
become stiff. The brakes are operating,
but continue to depress the brake
pedal.
When the forward detection function
operates*
The forward detection function
operates when all of the following
conditions are met.
(If an object is a vehicle ahead)
The vehicle speed is about 4 km/h
(3 mph) or faster.
(If an object is a bicycle/pedestrian)
The vehicle speed is about 10
km/h to 80 km/h (6.3 mph to 49
mph).
The DSC does not operate.The system determines that there is a
possibility of a collision with an
object ahead.
When the forward detection function
operates, the driver is notified of the
danger by the screen display and
warning sound. Furthermore, if the
possibility of a collision increases,
brake control is performed.

(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.
If the forward detection function
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.
The operation distance and volume
of the collision warning can be
changed.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
