(SBS-R)
The SBS-R is a system which is designed
to reduce damage in the event of a
collision by operating the brake control
(SBS brake) when the system's sensors
detect an obstruction at the rear of the
vehicle while driving at a speed of about 2
to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph) and the system
determines that a collision is unavoidable.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the SBS-R
system:
The SBS-R 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.
To assure the correct operation of the
SBS-R, heed the following cautions.

*Some models.
*
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is
changed, the SBS-R system may not
operate correctly because it cannot detect
obstructions correctly.
Do not apply a sticker to a rear
ultrasonic sensor and rear camera.
Otherwise, the rear ultrasonic sensor
and rear camera may not be able to
detect vehicles or obstructions which
could result in an accident.
Do not disassemble a rear ultrasonic
sensor and rear camera.
If cracks or damage caused by flying
gravel or debris is visible around a rear
ultrasonic sensor and rear camera,
stop using the SBS-R system
immediately and have your vehicle
inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer. If the vehicle continues to be
driven with cracks or scratch marks left
around an ultrasonic sensor, the
system may operate unnecessarily and
cause an unexpected accident.

Support [Rear] (SBS-R) System
