Why Is My Smart City Brake Support Light On?

You take special care of your car, it’s important to keep it in the best shape you can. We all do our best to take care of our cars which is why it can be very distressing to see any lights blink active on the dashboard. It’s especially frustrating when it seemingly comes on intermittently and goes away without warning.

With all the moving parts in cars these days you always want to be sure that everything is working as it should. What should you do when problems arise though? A trip to the mechanic could be expensive when it might just be a small problem. Well, sometimes it’s just a matter of waiting a few moments.

Why Is This Light Coming On?

One common light we hear about coming on is the Smart City Brake Support especially when it’s foggy out. If there’s fog on the inside or outside of your vehicle then that build up of condensation can interfere with the sensors in your car that help the Smart City Brake Support work. Drizzle or rainy conditions can also impact this system as well.

The easy fix is to turn on your defogger if the fog is on the inside and let that run for a few minutes to clear out any fog clinging to the windshield. If it is on the outside then it’s as simple as turning your wipers on and letting those run to keep your sensor free and clear. If the problem persists past that point then it might be time to consult with your local Mazda dealership and see if their mechanics find something else wrong.
