NOTE
The BSM may not operate normally if
any of the following conditions is
met.
The rear side radar sensors cannot
detect an object.
Refer to Radar Sensors on page
5-131.
The road is on a steep slope.The road is extremely wide.You make a lane change 2 lanes or
more.
The BSM may operate when turning
at intersections in urban areas or
with stationary objects on the road
or the roadside (such as guardrails,
sidewalls, and parked vehicles).
If a Mazda genuine trailer hitch is
used, the BSM is automatically
turned off when the trailer's
electrical connector is connected.
When pulling a trailer other than
with a Mazda genuine trailer hitch,
or while an accessory such as a
bicycle carrier is installed to the rear
of the vehicle, turn off the BSM.
Otherwise, the radar’s radio waves
will be blocked causing the BSM to
not operate normally.
The brightness of the BSM warning
lights is linked to the panel light
control.
Refer to Dashboard Illumination on
page 5-35.
When the Vehicle Exit Warning
operates*
The Vehicle Exit Warning operates
when all of the following conditions
are met.
The vehicle is stopped.Within 3 minutes after the vehicle
power is switched OFF or the vehicle
power is switched ON.
The system detects an approaching
vehicle.
When the Vehicle Exit Warning
operates, the driver is notified of the
presence of an approaching vehicle

Front Cross Traffic Alert(FCTA)
*
The FCTA assists the driver in checking
both sides of the vehicle when the
vehicle starts to drive at an
intersection. When a vehicle
approaching from the blind spots on
the front left or right side is detected, a
screen display and warning sound
notify the driver of the danger.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Front Cross Tra ffi c Alert (FCTA)
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually when the vehicle starts to
drive at an intersection.
Due to certain limitations with the
operation of the FCTA, the screen
display and warning sound might be
delayed even though there is a vehicle
approaching from a blind spot. Always
make it your responsibility as a driver
to check the left and right sides.

Mazda Radar CruiseControl (MRCC)
*
MRCC is a system that reduces load on
the driver through constant speed and
headway control. 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.
Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Mazda
Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the MRCC.
The MRCC 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.
Always check the surrounding
conditions and depress the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safe distance from a vehicle
ahead or a vehicle following behind
you.
Do not use the MRCC under the
following conditions. Otherwise, it
may result in an accident.
The vehicle is driven on roads other
than 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.

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.

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.

Front Crossing*
Front Crossing is designed to assist the
driver in avoiding a collision at an
intersection and reduce damage.
If there is a possibility of a collision
with a vehicle at an intersection, brake
control is performed to avoid a
collision or to reduce damage in the
event of a collision.
Intersection accident avoidance assist
function*
Intersection accident avoidance assist
function is designed to avoid collisions
with objects (pedestrians and bicycles)
when making a left or right 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 target object when you
make a left or right 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.
Reverse drive detection
Reverse drive detection has the
following 2 functions.
Rearward detection function
*
The rearward detection function is
designed to assist the driver in avoiding
collisions with objects at the rear
(obstructions and pedestrians
*) 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
rear, 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
