¾Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads (The tyres could spin causing you to lose
vehicle control).
¾Long descending slopes (to maintain distance between vehicles, the system automatically
and continuously applies the brakes which could result in the loss of brake power).
For the purposes of safety, switch the MRCC system off when it is not being used.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
If the vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the MRCC system off to prevent an
incorrect operation.
NOTE
xThe MRCC system operates when all of the following conditions are met.
xThe vehicle speed is as follows:
x(European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 200 km/h (124 mph)
x(Except European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 145 km/h (90 mph)
xThe MRCC system is turned on.
xThe parking brake is not applied.
xThe Smart Brake Support (SBS) is not malfunctioning.
xThe Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is operating normally.
xAll doors are closed.
xThe driver's seat belt is fastened.
(Manual transaxle)
xThe shift lever is in a position other than reverse (R) or neutral (N).
xThe clutch pedal is not depressed.
(Automatic transaxle)
xThe selector lever is in the drive (D) position or manual (M) position (manual mode).
xIn the following cases, the warnings may not activate even if your vehicle starts closing in
on the vehicle ahead.
xYou are driving at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.
xDirectly after the MRCC system has been set.
xWhen the accelerator pedal is depressed or directly after the accelerator pedal is
released.
xAnother vehicle cuts into the driving lane.
xThe following are not detected as physical objects.

Page 342 of 863
xVehicles approaching in the opposite direction
xPedestrians
xStationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
xIf a vehicle ahead is travelling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it
correctly.
xDuring headway control travel, do not set the system on two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorcycles and bicycles.
xDo not use the MRCC system under conditions in which the close proximity warnings are
frequently activated.
xDuring 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.
xWhile the 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.
xThe brake lights are illuminated while the MRCC automatic braking is operating,
however, they may not be illuminated while the vehicle is on a down slope at the set
vehicle speed or travelling at a constant speed and following a vehicle ahead.
xThe MRCC warning light (amber) illuminates when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Contact Mazda Repairer and Have Vehicle Inspected on page 7-49.
x(With Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL))
The headway control operation can be cancelled and the system can be switched to only
Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL).
Refer to Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL) on page 4-212.
x(With Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA))
The headway control operation can be cancelled and the system can be switched to only
Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA).
Refer to Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) on page 4-221.
x(Except Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL)/Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA))
The headway control operation can be cancelled and the system can be switched to only
cruise control.
Refer to Cruise Control Function on page 4-183.

NOTE
xIf a vehicle ahead is detected while travelling at a constant speed, the vehicle-ahead
indication is displayed and headway control is performed. Additionally, when a vehicle
ahead is no longer detected, the vehicle-ahead indication turns off and the system
switches back to travel at constant speed.
xHeadway control is not possible if the vehicle ahead is driving faster than the set speed.
Adjust the system to the desired vehicle speed using the accelerator pedal.

x(European models)
When switching to a passing lane and operating the direction indicator, the system
provides more acceleration automatically if it determines that more acceleration is
required. Drive while being careful of the road ahead because you could approach the
vehicle ahead too closely.

times as follows:
(European models)
The vehicle speed accelerates or
decelerates by 4 km/h (4 mph).

The warnings and brake control do not
operate while the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
NOTE
xWhen accelerating using the SET
switch while in headway control, the set
vehicle speed can be adjusted but
acceleration is not possible. If there is
no longer a vehicle ahead, acceleration
continues until reaching the set vehicle
speed. Check the set vehicle speed by
viewing the set vehicle speed display in
the multi-information display and the
active driving display.
xWhen depressing the accelerator pedal,
the inter-vehicle distance display in the
multi-information display changes to the
white-line display.
xThe minimum settable speed is 30 km/h
(19 mph). If the set vehicle speed
reaches 30 km/h (19 mph) using the
switch operation, constant speed travel
is maintained at about 30 km/h (19 mph)
even if the SET
switch is pressed. The
MRCC system is not cancelled.

Do not use the cruise control function in
the following locations:
Otherwise, it could lead to an accident.
¾Roads with sharp curves and where
vehicle traffic is heavy and there is
insufficient space between vehicles.
(Driving under these conditions using the
cruise control function is not possible)
¾Steep down slopes (Set speed may be
exceeded because sufficient engine
braking cannot be applied)
¾Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound
roads (Tyres could spin causing you to

Always drive carefully:
The warnings and brake control will not
operate after the headway control function
is cancelled and the system is switched to
only the cruise control function. Depress
the brake pedal to decelerate according to
the surrounding conditions while keeping a
safer distance from the vehicle ahead and
always driving carefully.
