Cruise Control Function
While this function is operating, the
headway control operation is cancelled
and only the cruise control function
operates.
The vehicle speed can be set more than
about 25 km/h (16 mph).
Use the cruise control function on
expressways and other highways which do
not require a lot of repeated acceleration
and deceleration.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control function
in the following locations:
Otherwise, it could lead to an accident.
 
 Roads with sharp curves and where
vehicle traf¿ c is heavy and there is
insuf¿ cient space between vehicles.
(Driving under these conditions
using the cruise control function is
not possible)
  Steep down slopes (Set speed may be
exceeded because suf¿ cient engine
braking cannot be applied)
  Slippery roads such as ice or snow-
bound roads (Tyres could spin
causing you to lose vehicle control)

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.
Switching to cruise control function
When the MODE switch is pressed while
the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
system is turned on, the system switches to
the cruise control function.
When the system switches to the cruise
control function, the cruise main indication
(white) is displayed in the instrument
cluster and the active driving display to
notify the driver as follows:
 


 The Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) set indication (green) or the
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)
main indication (white) is turned off,
and the cruise main indication (white) is
turned on.

WARNING
Always turn off the cruise control
function when it is not in use:
Leaving the cruise control function
turned on when it is not in use
is dangerous as it could operate
unexpectedly, resulting in an accident.

How to set the speed
Adjust the system to the desired vehicle
speed using the accelerator pedal.
When the SET
or SET switch is
pressed, the cruise set indication (green) is
turned on and headway control begins.
NOTE
  The system may not be able to
maintain the set speed constantly
depending on driving conditions such
as steep up or down slopes.
  The speed will continue increasing
while the SET
switch is pressed
and held. The speed will continue
decreasing while the SET
switch is
pressed and held.
How to increase the set speed
The set speed can be increased using the
following operations:
To increase speed using the SET

switch
Press and hold the SET
switch and
release the switch at the desired speed.
The set speed can be adjusted
incrementally (1 km/h (1 mph)
increments) by pressing the switch and
releasing it immediately. For example, if
the switch is pressed 4 times, the set speed
increases by about 4 km/h (4 mph).
To increase speed using accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press the
SET
or SET switch at the desired
speed.
If the switch is not operated, the system
returns to the set speed after you release
your foot from the accelerator pedal.
How to Decrease the Set Speed
Press the SET
switch continuously and
release the switch at the desired speed.
The set speed can be adjusted
incrementally (1 km/h (1 mph) increments)
by pressing the switch and releasing it
immediately. For example, if the switch
is pressed 4 times, the set vehicle speed
decreases by about 4 km/h (4 mph).
Cancelling the function
Cancelling using OFF/CAN switch
When the OFF/CAN switch is pressed
once, the cruise control function is
cancelled.
Cancelling using MODE switch
When the MODE switch is pressed, the
cruise control function is cancelled and
the headway control function is made
available for operation.
The cruise control function is cancelled
automatically in the following cases. If the
RES switch is pressed while the vehicle
speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) or higher, the
speed returns to the original set speed.
 


 The OFF/CAN switch is pressed once.



 The brake pedal is depressed.



 The parking brake is applied.

(Manual transaxle) 



 The clutch pedal is depressed.



 The shift lever is shifted to neutral

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
  If the vehicle speed decreases by
about 15 km/h (9.4 mph) or more
than the set speed, the cruise control
function may be cancelled.
  When the vehicle speed is less than
21 km/h (13 mph), the cruise control
function is cancelled. In this case, the
vehicle speed will not return to the
original set speed even if the vehicle
is accelerated to 25 km/h (16 mph) or
higher and the RES switch is pressed.
Reset the cruise control function.

*Some models.
Adjustable Speed Limiter *
The adjustable speed limiter is a function to prevent the vehicle from being driven at a
vehicle speed faster than a set speed. The vehicle speed is controlled to kept it below the set
speed even if the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The adjustable speed limiter can be set between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 200 km/h (125 mph).
The vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when the vehicle is driven on a down slope,
however, the system noti¿ es the driver by À ashing the display and operating a warning
sound.
WARNING
Always turn off the system when changing drivers:
If the driver is changed and the new driver is unaware of the adjustable speed limiter
function, the vehicle may not accelerate when the driver depresses the accelerator
pedal, leading to an accident.
The system consists of the adjustable speed limiter display and the speed limiter switch on
the steering wheel.
