SMART CITY BRAKE SUPPORT (SCBS) SYSTEM (if equipped)

The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is designed to reduce 
damage in the event of a collision by automatically applying the 
vehicle’s braking system when the system’s laser sensor detects an 
imminent collision with the vehicle ahead:

•   When your vehicle speed is 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h).
•   The system determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable.
•   It may be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between  

your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than 12.5 mph (20 km/h).

•   When the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system 

is in the operation range at about 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h), 
the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist. (SCBS 
Automatic Brake is displayed in the Multi-information Display)

•   SCBS automatic brake is released approximately 2 

seconds after the vehicle comes to a stop.

Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.

SCBS system can be turned off using Safety Settings  
in MAZDA CONNECT. (see page 10)
