Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
í
l
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 a vehicle ahead is less than about 15 km/h (9.3 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 (2 to 18 mph), the brakes are applied firmly and
quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (SCBS brake assist))
l
For vehicles with the type A instrument cluster, check the vehicle condition or have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer according to the indication.
l
A system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-22.

WARNING
Do not rely on the Smart City Brake Support System (SCBS) as a substitute for safe
driving:
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) 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 tire friction
and road contact because of water on the road surface). You can still have an
accident.
