Smart Brake Support - Mazda CX-5 2018 Owner's Manual

Do not rely completely on the SBS system and always drive carefully:
The 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.
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.
