Smart Brake Support (Sbs) - Mazda 3 2020 Owner's Manual

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
Smart Brake Support
(SBS)

▼ Smart Brake Support (SBS)

The SBS alerts the driver of a possible
collision using the warning indications
in the display and a warning sound if
the front radar sensor and Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) determine that
there is the possibility of a collision
with a vehicle ahead, pedestrian, or a
bicycle. Furthermore, if a collision is
unavoidable, the automatic 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))
When the SBS determines that the
driver is not paying attention to the
road using the driver monitoring
camera and it determines that there is
the possibility of a collision with an
obstruction, the SBS activates the
collision warning earlier than normal.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the SBS:
The SBS is only designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
The ability to detect obstructions is
limited depending on the obstructions,
weather conditions, or traffic
conditions. Over reliance on the
system leading to the accelerator pedal
or brake pedal being mistakenly
operated could result in an accident.
