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.

Reverse

Ultrasonic sensor (rear)

WARNING

Do not rely completely on the SCBS R system:



The SCBS R 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.



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 Authorized Mazda Dealer. 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.
Refer to Stopping the Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) System Operation on
page 4-203.



Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for rear bumper replacement.

Do not modify the suspension:

If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the SCBS R system may not operate correctly
because it cannot detect obstructions correctly.

*Some models.

CX-5_8MC3-EA-23G_Edition1_old

2023-5-8 11:05:50

Do not apply a strong force to an ultrasonic sensor (rear):

When washing the vehicle, do not spray highly pressurized water against an ultrasonic sensor
(rear), or rub it strongly. In addition, do not hit the rear bumper forcefully when loading and
unloading cargo Otherwise, the sensors may not detect obstructions correctly which could
cause the SCBS R system to not operate normally, or it could operate unnecessarily.

CAUTION



When driving off-road in areas where there is grass or foliage, it is recommended that the
SCBS R system be turned off.



Always use tires of the specified size and the same manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern
on all 4 wheels. In addition, do not use tires with significantly different wear patterns on the
same vehicle. Otherwise, the SCBS R system may not operate normally.



If ice or snow is stuck on the ultrasonic sensors (rear) they may not be able to detect
obstructions correctly depending on the conditions. In such cases, the system may not be
able to perform controls correctly. Always drive carefully and pay attention to the rear of
the vehicle.

NOTE

Smart Brake Support

(SBS)

The 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 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.

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.

NOTE

The SBS system operates when all of the
following conditions are met:



The ignition is switched ON.



The SBS system is on.



The vehicle speed is about 15 km/h or
faster (10 mph or faster).



The relative speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead is about
15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster).



The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
is not operating.



The SBS system may not operate under
the following conditions:



If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly
and it comes close to a vehicle ahead.



The vehicle is driven at the same
speed as the vehicle ahead.

360° View Monitor

▼

360° View Monitor

The 360°View Monitor consists of the following functions which assist the driver in
checking the area surrounding the vehicle using various indications in the center display and
a warning sound while the vehicle is being driven at low speeds or while parking.



Top view

The top view displays an image of the vehicle from directly above on the center display
by combining the images taken from the 4 cameras set on all sides of the vehicle. The top
view displays on the right side of the screen when the front view or rear view screen is
being displayed. The top view assists the driver in checking the area surrounding the
vehicle when the vehicle is moving forward or in reverse.



Front view/front wide view

The image from the front of the vehicle is displayed on the center display.
The view from the front assists the driver in checking the front of the vehicle by
displaying guide lines on the displayed image taken from the front of the vehicle.



Side view

The images taken from the front left and right sides of the vehicle are displayed on the
center display.
The side view assists the driver in checking the front sides of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed image taken from the front left and right sides of the vehicle.



Rear view/rear wide view

The image from the rear of the vehicle is displayed on the center display.
The image from the rear assists the driver in checking the rear of the vehicle by displaying
guide lines on the displayed image taken from the rear of the vehicle.



Parking sensor

If there are any obstructions near the vehicle while the top view/side view is displayed, an
obstruction detection indication turns on around the bumper in the center display.
The parking sensors use ultrasonic sensors to detect obstructions around the vehicle when
the vehicle is driven at low speeds, such as during garage or parallel parking, and notifies
the driver of the approximate distance from the vehicle to the surrounding obstruction
using sound and an obstruction detection indication.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-263.



Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)

If there is the possibility of a collision with an approaching vehicle while the rear view/
rear wide view is displayed, a warning is displayed on the center display.
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) uses rear side radar sensor to detect vehicles
approaching from the rear left and right sides of the vehicle, and it assists the driver in
checking the rear of the vehicle while reversing by flashing the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning lights and activating the warning sound.
