Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)
The Advanced SCBS alerts the driver of a possible collision using the display and a
warning sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects a vehicle ahead or
pedestrian and determines that a collision with the object is unavoidable while the
vehicle is driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph) if the object
is a vehicle ahead and about 10 to 80 km/h (6.2 to 50 mph) if the object is a
pedestrian.
Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R)
The SCBS R is a system which is designed to reduce damage in the event of a
collision by operating the brake control (SCBS brake) when the system's ultrasonic
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.
Do not rely completely on the system:
The 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.
(Advanced SCBS)
The Advanced SCBS system operates in response to a vehicle ahead or a
pedestrian. The system does not operate in response to obstructions such as
a wall, 2-wheeled vehicles, or animals.
(SCBS R)
To assure the correct operation of the SCBS R, heed the following cautions.
• Do not apply a sticker to an ultrasonic sensor (rear) (including
transparent stickers). Otherwise, the ultrasonic sensor (rear) may not be
able to detect vehicles or obstructions which could result in an accident.
• Do not disassemble an ultrasonic sensor (rear).
• If cracks or damage caused by flying gravel or debris is visible around an
ultrasonic sensor (rear), stop using the SCBS R system immediately and
have your vehicle inspected by an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer. 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.
• Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer
for rear bumper replacement.
