As soon as you hear a screeching noise consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer. Brake Assist During emergency braking situations when it is necessary to depress the brake pedal with greater force, the brake assist system provides braking assistance, thus enhancing braking performance.
When Driving Brake Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)* The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) 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 the vehicle ahead is unavoidable. It may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph).
When Driving Brake Do not rely completely on the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system: The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) 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. The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) is a system which operates in response to a vehicle ahead. The system may not be able to detect or react to 2-wheeled vehicles or pedestrians.
When Driving Brake CAUTION When driving off-road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recommended that the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off. Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specified size, and the same manufacture, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with significantly different wear patterns on the same vehicle.
When Driving Brake • Under the following conditions, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not operate normally. • Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat. • When there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle or obstruction ahead. • When driving on continuously curving roads, entering and exiting curves, and unstable driving due to a vehicle accident or breakdown in a driving lane.
When Driving Brake WARNING As there is the possibility of eye damage occurring from the laser, always heed the following precautions: Never remove the sensor. A removed sensor will not meet the conditions for a class 1M laser under the IEC 60825-1 specification and therefore eye safety cannot be assured.
