2017~2025: Have you experienced auto braking when reversing a CX-5?

[Gus75]

Question: for Signature model cx-5, has anyone experienced auto rear braking? I have never experienced this, when backing up near wall or garbage cans behind car when reversing. Please advise what year and model and how this works etc.
i have 2021.5 Signature cx-5 land it has auto reverse braking option, but i have never experienced them and not sure if they even work. Please share your experience.
Thanks

What is this reverse braking?
first time I hear about such feature.

I think he means collision avoidance braking, in reverse.

Obviously, in reverse, the rear parking sensors beep like crazy when they sense something or someone behind the car.

I personally have not however pushed the point and ignored the beeping to keep going in reverse to see if the car brakes automatically.

However, Mazda says:
SCBS-R monitors the vehicle behind you when reversing to assess the likelihood of a collision. If there is a high risk, the system will warn you and brake automatically if needed.

It works on my 2023 Signature. I was backing in my spot without paying attention and my car slammed on the brakes, I unfortunately did this twice and each time the system worked. It worked so well that now I have tire marks on the floor.

In both my CX-3 and my current CX-5, all three with smart City Brake Support Reverse (SCBS R), the car braked when I approached too quickly and got too close to an obstacle at the rear of my car.
If in doubt, you can test it with a cardboard box covered with a blanket.
Edit: the blanket is for the protection of the paint.

I know what it's supposed to do, but does anyone's do that is the question. Mine does not do anything.

Good idea. I will do that in summer. Thanks

AFAIK, US models don't have SCBS-R, which is based on ultrasound parking sensors.
Models in other countries like Australia have it for years.

We, in USA, probably have lawyers to thank for that.

Correct.

 

[cz5gt]

in US some new Signature from 2023- has it.

I think there is only N.American model, that is sold in usa and canada. Mine is 2021.5 model.

It was added on 2021 and up Signatures only. It was the main reason we seemed only signature since this car will be my 15 years olds car in ahead. I can see him backing into things.

I stand corrected. Thanks.
I was going for Signature model when I bought my Turbo (1 level below it).
During Covid, it was not easy to find one.

Fortunately it works fine on my 21 Signature. I think it means you have never pushed it so close that collision is imininent, which I unfortunately have
