To assure the correct operation of the

SBS

-

RC, heed the following cautions.

Do not apply a sticker to a rear radar

and rear camera. Otherwise, the rear

radar and rear camera may not be

able to detect vehicles or

obstructions which could result in an

accident.

Do not disassemble a rear radar and

rear camera.

If cracks or damage caused by 

fl

ying

gravel or debris is visible around a

rear radar and rear camera, stop

using the SBS

-

RC 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 Brake

Support [Rear Crossing] (SBS

RC)

System Operation on page 4-168.

Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer

for rear bumper removal.

Do not modify the suspension:

If the vehicle height or inclination is

changed, the SBS

-

RC system may not

operate correctly because it cannot

detect obstructions correctly.

Do not apply a strong force to a rear

radar and rear camera:

When washing the vehicle, do not

spray highly pressurized water against a

rear radar and rear camera, 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

SBS

-

RC system to not operate

normally, or it could operate

unnecessarily.
