Smart City Break Support Question - 2015 CX 5
At the end of January, I purchased a 2015 CX 5, Grand Touring edition. It came with the Tech Package already installed, which means it has the Smart City Break Support System (as the sticker says as well).
I am curious if this particular model should have a button on the left side of the steering wheel like I do for the BSM and AFS (I believe that can be controlled with the DSC button, which I do not have). Some photos show yes, some photos say no. I notice when I start my CX5, that particular icon (DSC) on the instrument cluster lights up, so that to me says I should have it. I have yet to really need to use it, so I don't even know if it's active or not (I assume it would be since there is no button to turn it off). Any thoughts? Just wondering if I am missing something. |
I too wandered if it was working. A couple times I approached a parking gate, I thought my wheels were scraping the curb. Not a pretty sound. I later figured out it was the "Smart City Brake." The system adds some pressure to the brake system but I don't know if it will completely stop the car. I'd prefer it stop completely if a pedestrian comes close.
To disengage the feature, go into your main screen menu setting and de-select. |
I believe I recall seeing this question on another forum and the answer was that the early models with Smart City Brake had a defeat button, but Mazda subsequently decided that is not necessary or desirable, so they discontinued it.

Thru your Mazda Connect screen under settings, you can still turn on and off any feature you do not wish to use.

Thanks everyone...appreciate the assistance!
