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

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
 
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.
 
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.

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
