i-ACTIVSENSE -> Smart Brake Support (SBS) for Your Mazda Cx-5 SUV First Generation (2013-2016)

When Driving  
i-ACTIVSENSE  
Smart Brake Support (SBS)í  
Smart Brake Support (SBS) is a system which alerts the driver of a possible collision using  
an indicator and warning sound in the instrument cluster while the vehicle is being driven  
at about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster) and the system's radar sensor determines that  
your vehicle may hit a vehicle ahead. Furthermore, if the radar sensor 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 operate more quickly to  
assist the driver (vehicles with brake fluid pre-fill).  
WARNING  
Do not rely completely on the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system and always drive  
carefully:  
The Smart Brake Support (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  
If the vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the Smart Brake Support  
(SBS) system off to prevent a mistaken operation.
