both sides of the vehicle when the
vehicle starts to drive at an
intersection. When a vehicle
approaching from the blind spots on
the front left or right side is detected, a
screen display and warning sound
notify the driver of the danger.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Front Cross Tra ffi c Alert (FCTA)
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually when the vehicle starts to
drive at an intersection.
Due to certain limitations with the
operation of the FCTA, the screen
display and warning sound might be
delayed even though there is a vehicle
approaching from a blind spot. Always
make it your responsibility as a driver
to check the left and right sides.

electrical connector is connected.
When pulling a trailer other than
with a Mazda genuine trailer hitch,
or while an accessory such as a
bicycle carrier is installed to the rear
of the vehicle, turn off the RCTA.
Otherwise, the radar’s radio waves
will be blocked causing the RCTA to
not operate normally.

Mazda Radar CruiseControl (MRCC)
*
MRCC is a system that reduces load on
the driver through constant speed and
headway control. The function
performs headway control to maintain
the distance with a vehicle ahead at a
constant preset speed without you
having to depress the accelerator or
brake pedal.
Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Mazda
Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the MRCC.
The MRCC may not be able to detect a
vehicle ahead depending on the type
of vehicle ahead and its conditions, the
weather conditions, and the road
conditions. Additionally, the system
might be unable to decelerate
sufficiently if the vehicle ahead applies
the brakes suddenly or another vehicle
cuts into your lane, which could result
in an accident.
Always check the surrounding
conditions and depress the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safe distance from a vehicle
ahead or a vehicle following behind
you.
Do not use the MRCC under the
following conditions. Otherwise, it
may result in an accident.
The vehicle is driven on roads other
than highways.
 The vehicle is driven on roads with
sharp curves or with heavy traffic
where sufficient distances between
vehicles cannot be kept.
 The vehicle is driven on roads where
acceleration and deceleration are
frequently repeated.
 The vehicle is exiting the main lane
on an expressway to enter an
interchange, a rest area, or a parking
area.

*Some models.5-165
CX-90_8KG7-EA-22L_Edition1_new 2022-11-17 16:05:04

The vehicle is driven on slippery
roads such as icy roads,
snow-covered roads, and unpaved
roads.
 The vehicle is driven on a long
downslope.
 The vehicle is driven on a steep
slope.
 A two-wheeled vehicle such as a
motorcycle or bicycle is traveling
ahead.
Switch the MRCC off when it is not
being used.
Leaving the MRCC on when it is not in
use is dangerous as it could operate
unexpectedly, resulting in an accident.
Do not leave the vehicle while the
vehicle is stopped by the MRCC
control.
Getting out of the vehicle while the
stop hold control is operating is
dangerous as the vehicle may move
unexpectedly and result in an accident.
Before leaving the vehicle, switch the
MRCC off, shift the selector lever to
the P position, and apply the parking
brake.
CAUTION
 If the vehicle is towed or you are
towing something, switch the MRCC
off.
 Turn off the MRCC when the vehicle
is running on a chassis roller.

traveling at a constant speed or in headway control. When the accelerator pedal is
released, the vehicle returns to driving at a constant speed or headway control at
the set speed.
If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely low speed, the system may not
detect it correctly.
