Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (Scbs F) - Mazda CX-5 Owner's Manual

Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F)

The Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F) system is designed to reduce damage
in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the system's
laser sensor detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is
unavoidable. It may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your
vehicle and a vehicle ahead is less than about 20 km/h (12 mph).
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system is in the operation
range at about 4 to 30 km/h (3 to 18 mph), the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to
assist. (Brake Assist (SCBS brake assist))
Do not rely on the Smart City Brake Support System [Forward] (SCBS F) as a
substitute for safer driving:
The Smart City Brake Support [Forward] (SCBS F) system cannot compensate for
unsafe and reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too
closely), and driving on slippery roads such as wet, snowy, and icy roads (reduced tyre
friction and road contact because of water on the road surface). You can still have an
accident.
