When Driving

Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to maintain headway control *1
according to the vehicle speed using a radar sensor (front) to detect the distance to a vehicle
ahead, and by presetting the vehicle speed between 30 km/h (19 mph) and 145 km/h (90
mph), the driver is freed from having to constantly use the accelerator or brake pedals.

*1 Headway Control: Control of the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
detected by the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system.

Additionally, if your vehicle starts closing in on the vehicle ahead because, for example, the
vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, a warning sound and a warning indication in the display are
activated simultaneously to alert you to maintain a suf¿ cient distance between the vehicles.
Use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system on expressways and other highways
which do not require a lot of repeated acceleration and deceleration.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system and always
drive carefully:
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is designed to reduce load on the
driver, and although it maintains a constant vehicle speed, or specifi cally, it maintains
a constant distance between your vehicle and the detected vehicle ahead according to
the vehicle speed, the system has detection limitations depending on the type of vehicle
ahead and its conditions, the weather conditions, and the road conditions. Additionally,
the system may be unable to decelerate suffi ciently to avoid hitting the vehicle ahead
if the vehicle ahead applies the brakes suddenly or another vehicle cuts into the driving
lane, which could result in an accident. Always verify the safety of the surrounding area
and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a safer distance from
vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.

Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system in the following locations.
Otherwise, it could lead to an accident:
 


¾ Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle traffi c is heavy and there is insuffi cient
space between vehicles. Roads where frequent and repetitive acceleration and
deceleration occur (Driving under these conditions using the Mazda Radar Cruise
Control (MRCC) system is not possible).
 


¾ When entering and exiting interchanges, service areas, and parking areas of highways
(If you exit a highway while headway control is in use, the vehicle ahead will no longer
be tracked and your vehicle may accelerate to the set speed).
 


¾ Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads (The tires could spin causing you to
lose vehicle control).
 


¾ Long descending slopes (to maintain distance between vehicles, the system
automatically and continuously applies the brakes which could result in the loss of
brake power).

y During headway control travel, the system accelerates and decelerates your vehicle in
conjunction with the speed of the vehicle ahead. However, if it is necessary to accelerate
for a lane change or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly causing you to close in on the
vehicle rapidly, accelerate using the accelerator pedal or decelerate using the brake
pedal depending on the conditions.
 


y While the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is in use, it does not cancel even
if the selector lever (automatic transaxle)/shift lever (manual transaxle) is operated and
any intended engine braking will not occur. If deceleration is required, lower the vehicle
speed setting or depress the brake pedal.
 


y The brake lights are illuminated while the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
automatic braking is operating.
 


y The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) warning light (amber) turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
  Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-20 .

Close Proximity Warning
If your vehicle rapidly closes in on the vehicle ahead because the vehicle applies the brakes
suddenly while you are traveling in headway control, the warning sound activates and
the brake warning is indicated in the display. Always verify the safety of the surrounding
area and depress the brake pedal while keeping a safer distance from the vehicle ahead.
Additionally, always keep a safer distance from the vehicles behind you.
