Smart Brake Support (Sbs) - Mazda CX-52017 Owner's Manual

The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system alerts the driver of a possible collision using a
display and warning sound if the radar sensor (front) and the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) determine that there is the possibility of a collision with a vehicle ahead while the
vehicle is being driven at about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster). Furthermore, if the
radar sensor (front) and the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines that 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. (Brake Assist (SBS brake assist))
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system and always drive carefully:
The Smart Brake Support (SBS) is designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision, not
avoid an accident. The ability to detect an obstruction is limited depending on the
obstruction, weather conditions, or traffic conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator pedal or
brake pedal is mistakenly operated it could result in an accident. Always verify the safety of
the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a safer
distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the system off to prevent a mis-operation:
The vehicle is being towed or when towing another vehicle.
The vehicle is on a chassis roller.
When driving on rough roads such as in areas of dense grass or off-road.
